Among them the most relevant are rapid mass transfer due to low interfacial tension, rapid and selective separation, easiness of operation mode, reliability in scale-up biocompatibility and environment-friendly features, and possibility of process integration when applied in biomolecule production. Upon overcoming the major problem - mostly empirical establishment of operating conditions bioseparations in aqueous two-phase systems will become a necessary step in both existing and newly developed bioprocesses for the primary recovery of products. %K bioseparations %K aqueous two-phase system %K partition %K extraction %K downstream processing %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1450-7188/2005/1450-71880536145A.pdf
