Learning Results
The separation and isolation of substances ranging from single molecules to supramolecular structures is
important in the charactyerization and monitoring of biotechnological products and processes. In the separation
of simple molecules will be given a greater emphasis on the use of techniques as GC, GCMS
and HPLC? the
latter also including the preparative version. The separation of enzymes and antibodies is addressed by
separation techniques that involve molecular exclusion phenomena and immunoaffinity and through the
techniques of separation with membranes.
