This book explores key principles of cell immobilisation, with a focus on materials, methods, and physiological aspects. Fundamentals of Cell Immobilisation Biotechnology is essential for researchers.
The book Fundamentals of Cell Immobilisation Biotechnology provides an in-depth exploration of the essential principles surrounding cell immobilisation. It is structured into four comprehensive parts, each focusing on a critical dimension of the technology. The first part discusses various materials used for cell immobilisation and encapsulation, highlighting their properties and suitability for different applications. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for understanding the subsequent chapters.
The second part delves into the diverse methods and technologies employed in cell immobilisation and encapsulation, offering insights into the latest advancements and techniques in the field. Readers will appreciate the detailed examination of carrier characterisation and bioreactor design in the third section, which emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate carriers and designing effective bioreactors for optimal cell function.
Finally, the book addresses the physiology of immobilised cells, discussing relevant techniques and mathematical modelling that aid in understanding cell behavior in immobilised states. Fundamentals of Cell Immobilisation Biotechnology is an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking a comprehensive understanding of cell immobilisation, making it a vital addition to the literature in biotechnology.
From the reviews:
"Many volumes have been produced describing what can be done using immobilised cells, but there are fewer that bring together information on the various fundamental aspects of cell immobilisation. This book fills that need more than adequately, providing information both for experts and for newcomers to the field, and should be available in the library of any institution involved in biotechnology. … The book is pleasingly produced and the … chapters are easy to read without in any way trivialising their subjects."
