Invitation
Join us and many of the world's leading authorities at this international meeting to discuss new advances and applications in separation science. Modern techniques for separation and analysis of immunoglobulins, enzymes, and related biomolecules from micropreparative to industrial scale will be discussed. Conference participants will have the opportunity to take a guided tour through the manufacturing facilities of Roche Diagnostics GmbH in Penzberg.
Researchers with new results/data in areas covering all aspects of the separation and characterization of biochemical compounds using CHT™ ceramic hydroxyapatite, hydroxyapatite, fluoroapatite or other calcium phosphate media or who are developing other apatite based materials are encouraged to submit abstracts for lecture or poster presentation. We are striving to ensure the broadest possible coverage and exchange of recent advances which focus on separation science.
This international meeting brings together many of the world's leading authorities to discuss new advances and applications for separation scientists addressing all issues of separation and analysis of immunoglobulins, enzymes and related biomolecules with modern techniques. Separation from micropreparative to industrial scale will be covered.
