Large Scale Cell Culture Technology

The Book This book provides the most detailed and comprehensive survey available of the different methods for production of biotechnology products from large scale mammalian and plant cell culture. Methods ranging from fermentation and encapsulation to hollow fibers and fluidized beds are described by the leaders in the field with a section on regulatory considerations. Each production method is described in detail in terms of principles, equipment and results so that informed comparisons and evaluations can be made.
