    The goalObjective of the course is to learn properties of biological compounds important for their separation, criteria for selection of separation technique, theoretical background of each method, applied equipment, and fields of application. The course will be organized in such a way that students will start with learning low resolution bioseparation techniques with further increase of resolution throughout semester and finishing with high resolution chromatographic techniques.
    The outcomeDuring this course students will gain knowledge of basic principles and techniques for separation of cells, proteins, biopharmaceuticals and other fermentation products. After course students will be enabled to choose adequate separation procedure based on knowing characteristic properties of biological products. Problem solving (calculation and SuperPro Designer projects) will provide students opportunity to optimize the process of isolation of particular products.
