Abstract: The emergence of recombinant DNA and monoclonal antibody technologies has challenged engineers and scientists to develop the methods and facilities required to manufacture, on a commercial scale, the new products derived from biotechnology. This comprehensive handbook offers engineering and science professionals first-hand accounts of practical and prudent solutions to a wide range of production problems from authorities in the field who have successfully met these challenges.
