Separation Techniques & Formulation

Bioseparation techniques

Bioseparation is the name given to the practice of purifying biological products on large-scale, using fundamental aspects of engineering and scientific principles. The end goal of bioseparation is to refine molecules, cells, and parts of cells into purified fractions. Biological products can be separated and purified depending upon the following characteristics: density, diffusivity, electrostatic charge, polarity, shape, size, solubility, and volatility.
