Editorial Reviews

Documents the first gathering in which scientists using aqueous two-phase systems to separate metal ions mingled with those who have been using it to separate cellular particles, biological macromolecules, and smaller organic molecules since the 1950s. Among the topics discussed in the 15 papers are properties and applications in bioseparation, mass transfer, surfactant systems for purifying biomaterials, temperature induced phase separation, protein refolding using chaotropic systems, and the characterization and quality control of recombinant proteins.
