This is an introductory-level course designed to acquaint participants with the wide range of modern techniques available for separating and purifying biomolecules. The fundamentals of each technique will be presented, including practical examples; however, sufficient theoretical background will be provided to enable the participants to understand how each technique functions. Emphasis will be placed on techniques used in protein isolation and purification-both from native and recombinant sources. The course will be particularly valuable to those who are beginning work in biochemistry and biotechnology laboratories and who wish to broaden their background in separation procedures used in biochemistry. "Biochemical Separations" may be useful for persons getting back into the laboratory after several years, for those between jobs, and for scientists whose job description now requires familiarity with separation techniques used in Downstream Processing.
