§16§Chromatography is the separation method for biological molecules from the analytical to the preparative scale. Few of the recent advances in life science, whether in "proteomics" or in the industrial production of recombinant therapeutics, would have been possible without the help of chromatographic separations. Concomitantly, chromatography nowadays stands for much more than a batch column packed with porous particles. In this book eminent experts from academia and industry introduce the reader to some of the recent new developments in this exciting area. Ranging from evolving nanoanalytical techniques to advances in the material sciences and artificial antibodies and finally continuous large scale separations of the most fragile biologicals, this book should provide interesting reading material for students and practitioners from various fields. §04§Capillary Electrochromatography: A Rapidly Emerging Separation Method.- Short Monolithic Columns as Stationary Phases for Biochromatography.- Porous Polymer Monoliths: An Alternative to Classical Beads.- Molecularly Imprinted Materials - Receptors More Durable than Nature Can Provide.- Chromatographic Reactors Based on Biological Activity.- Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography (SMB) for Application in Bioseparation.- Continuous Annular Chromatography. §13§§FROM THE REVIEWS:§ §JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY§"In summary, the book presents an important overview of seven emerging chromatographic/separation methodologies and strategies that will have a significant impact on solving many problems faced in the field of biotechnology. The presentation is of high quality, encompassing, and is well suited for separation specialists in biotechnology and also in other areas where separations play a key role."§
