Synopsis

A team of international experts thoroughly explains the quantitative model–based approach to working with immobilised living cell systems, providing a comprehensive guide to the practical techniques and mathematical modelling required for their analysis and design. Summarises the basic principles of mass transfer, modelling and reactors. Discusses the complexities of monitoring and analysing cell aggregates in comparison to free cells. Carefully selected examples represent details of problems which may be encountered and cover diverse uses from waste water treatment and ecological systems to artificial organs for biomedicine.

About this title

Synopsis

This monograph describes the quantitative model-based approach to working with immobilized living cell systems. It provides a comprehensive guide to the practical techniques and mathematical modelling required for their analysis and design. The work summarizes the fundamental principles of mass transfer, modelling and reactors; outlines experimental techniques; and illustrates the applications of immobilized living cell systems with detailed examples. These selected examples highlight problems which may be encountered, explain how to observe a fully functional cell system with minimum disturbance, and discuss the complexities of monitoring and analyzing cell aggregates in comparison to free cells. Furthermore, the case studies cover diverse uses, from waste water treatment, fermentation and ecological systems to artificial organs for biomedicine.
