title: Review of centrifugal liquid-liquid chromatography using aqueous two-phase solvent systems: its scale-up and prospects for the future production of high-value biologicals.
abstract: Future challenges in the field of bioprocessing include developing new downstream processes for the purification and manufacture of protein-based medicines to relieve the predicted bottleneck that may occur as a result of increasingly high titers obtained from fermentation processes. This review considers recent developments in centrifugal liquid-liquid partition chromatography using aqueous two-phase solvent systems, a gentle host medium for biologicals, and the prospect for scale-up and eventual manufacture of high-value pharmaceutical products.
