Cell Separation Science and Technology

By Dhinakar S. Kompala

This new volume provides theoretical and practical information on the state of the science of cell separation, including applications to biotechnology. Presentations from the world's leading authorities cover the four principal modern methods: flow sorting and optical methods; sedimentation and flow fractionation; affinity adsorption and extraction methods; and electrophoresis and magnetic methods. An introductory chapter describes the rationale for separating living cells, the parameters within which separation methods are evaluated, and some physical characteristics of each of the methods reported in the volume. Readers will be able to choose, evaluate, and in some cases, build cell separation procedures and equipment for their own purposes based on the contents of the book, which also covers many applications of each method.
