Bacterial persistence from a system-level perspective.

abstract：:Chromatography is undoubtedly the workhorse of downstream processes, affording high resolution for bioseparations. At the same time, it has the notoriety of being the single largest cost center in downstream processing and of being a low-throughput operation. Consequently, 'chromatography alternatives' are an attracti...
