International Conference on Biopartitioning and Purification (BPP 2005) | June 20-24, 2005


Established in 1979, the International Conference on Biopartitioning and Purification is a premier forum for research and development in the purification and partitioning of cells, membranes and organelles, nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, and inorganics.

Formerly known as the International Conference on Partitioning in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems, the conference has been expanded this year to showcase recent advances in all scalable methods for concentrating and isolating biologics, including surfactant-based separations, aqueous two-phase extraction, expanded-bed adsorption, membrane and hydrogel-based separation systems, and all forms of chromatography.

Advances in plasmid, virus, and genomic DNA purification are also a focus of the conference, as are new green-chemistry based technologies for purifying or extracting heavy metals and other inorganics from aqueous streams.

In July 2003, Charles Haynes and Don Brooks hosted the 12th Biopurification and Partitioning Conference (formerly the Aqueous Two-phase Conference) in Vancouver at UBC. Then it was agreed to organise the next version in The Netherlands during June 20-24 2005. We are designing a technical program that meets your expectations in terms of scientific excellence.

The aim of the conference is to bring you up to date on bio-partitioning and purification science by providing industrial and academic scientists and engineers a unique forum for presenting their most recent findings and for debating the merits and uses of all scalable methods for concentrating and isolating biologics.
