The Encyclopedia of Bioprocess Technology will be available online in 2003 on the Wiley website.

The Encyclopedia of Bioprocess Technology, edited by Prof. Flickinger and Prof. Steven Drew (Princeton University), presents the state-of-the-art in bioprocess technology in biotechnology, focusing on fermentation, biocatalysis and bioseparations. It is 5 volumes totalling 2,756 pages. The encyclopedic/alphabetical format provides easy access to individual entries written by over 350 experienced scientists and engineers from both academia and industry. Each biotechnology industry has matured and important generic manufacturing technologies are now well developed and ready for such treatment. Thus, individual entries address the fundamentals and applications of bioprocess technology providing both depth and breadth of coverage. All entries include basic theory and fundamental understanding; moreover, they focus on current "hands-on" industrial practice including relevant manufacturing technology, process and facilities engineering, and their interface with regulatory requirements worldwide. Entries co-authored by experts from both industry and academia provide comprehensive, well-balanced, hard-hitting coverage. The Encyclopedia is supplemented with hundreds of graphics and photographs to enrich the understanding of bioprocess technology at an industrial scale.
