Focuses on providing guidance for the substantial effort required in developing protein purification processes for large scale, commercial operation. Written primarily for those engaged in this or related efforts in the biotechnology industry, chapters cover various aspects related to protein purification: process development, scale-up, mathematical descriptions of processes and phenomena, technology, and applications. These topics fall within the general field of process engineering. Most of the technologies currently used at the commercial scale are covered. Included is a chapter on protein analytical methods by industrial practitioners, as these methods are essential to protein purification and should be in place before process development work begins.
