Abstract
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Biotechnology: UpStream and DownStream Processing Technology Analysis examines the developments in bioprocessing and enabling technologies such as transgenic production of proteins in plants, microorganisms, mammalian cells, and eggs. It also includes an in-depth analysis of new separation technologies for downstream processing and technologies for genetically engineering more potent antibodies and enzymes with higher activity, among others.
