Process Scale Purification of Antibodies 

Traditional column chromatography dominates current purification technology, and many of the productivity gains that have been achieved have relied on upscaling such devices. However, this comes with a cost penalty and the pharmaceutical industry has reached the point at which further upscaling becomes economically unsupportable. This book offers a broad-based reassessment of old and new purification methods, incorporating an analysis of innovative new trends in purification. The book has wide coverage of different antibody purification strategies and brings together top-tier experts to address problems in process-scale antibody purification.
