Membranes and bioreactors: a technical challenge in biotechnology.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

Belfort G.
PMID: 18588019
Biotechnol Bioeng. 1989 Mar;33(8):1047-66. doi: 10.1002/bit.260330814.

Integrating the properties of synthetic membranes with biological catalysts such as cells and enzymes forms the basis of an exciting new technology called membrane bioreactors. The impetus behind this marriage comes from the recent spectacular advances in recombinant DMA...

Cross-flow membrane microfiltration of a bacteriol fermentation broth.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

Nagata N, Herouvis KJ, Dziewulski DM, Belfort G.
PMID: 18588126
Biotechnol Bioeng. 1989 Aug 05;34(4):447-66. doi: 10.1002/bit.260340405.

Although cross-flow membrane filtration is a very attractive option for harvesting cells and recovering enzymes from cell homogenates, the process is not without its problems. Foremost of these is the deposit of dissolved and suspended solutes onto the membrane...

Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion and reestablishment of fetal airways for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Gynecological surgery

Van der Veeken L, Russo FM, De Catte L, Gratacos E, Benachi A, Ville Y, Nicolaides K, Berg C, Gardener G, Persico N, Bagolan P, Ryan G, Belfort MA, Deprest J.
