Definition

Bioseparation is separation of biological components for diagnostics and therapeutic purposes.

Introduction

A term “bioseparation” is used to separate biological entity, for example, cells and proteins and other biologically active compounds available in our body, for diagnostics and/or therapeutic purposes. With a progress of recent biotechnologies, bioseparation technologies extend to separate genetically engineered proteins, nucleic acids, and even functional stem cells (embryonic stem (ES) cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and other somatostatic stem cells) for tissue engineering purposes. In this chapter, polymeric nanomaterials used in bioseparation purposes are summarized.

Separation of Cells Using Polymeric Nanomaterials

More than 200 different types of cells are composed in our body. These cells have...
