In the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology, the transition from a laboratory discovery to a commercial product depends heavily on downstream processing. For students and practitioners, by Roger G. Harrison and colleagues serves as the definitive roadmap for mastering these unit operations. However, the true bridge between theoretical understanding and engineering mastery often lies in the rigorous application of mathematical models found in the accompanying solution manual . The Role of Bioseparations in Modern Engineering
Bioseparations is a multidisciplinary field focused on the purification of biological products, including proteins, nucleic acids, and small biomolecules like antibiotics. Unlike traditional chemical separations, bioseparations must account for the delicate nature of biological materials, which are sensitive to pH, temperature, and shear stress.
