Ultrafiltration for Bioprocessing is key reading for all those involved in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical areas. Written by a leading worker in the area, it includes many practical applications and case studies in the key process of ultrafiltration (UF), which is used in almost every bioprocess.
- Focuses on ultrafiltration for biopharmaceuticals—other books look at general ultrafiltration or general biopharmaceuticals
- A mix of theory and practical applications—other books tend to be more theory-oriented
- Addresses the main issues encountered in development and scale-up through recommendations and case studies
