Scaling-Up of Natural Products Isolation

  • Protocol
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 864))

Abstract

Scaling-up is a way of increasing the quantity without losing the quality. The scaling-up is not always straightforward as the yield of the target compound becomes more important. The factors that influence scaling-up in a medium scale are outlined in this chapter. An example of a scale-up is also provided to illustrate some of the principles.
