used. Generally in the development of a process, research activity will start with the physiology of the immobilized cells and be concluded by scale-up and application.

Guidelines for the different phases in research are given below.

Springer Lab Manual about immobilized cells The Springer Lab Manual about immobilized cells is structured in such a way that guidelines that resulted from the conference 'Immobilized Cells: Basics and Applications' were followed and translated into some practical methods.

As for the guidelines for immobilized cells a structure was chosen in which general aspects of immobilization were covered, the kinetics were described and engineering aspects were covered.

Besides laboratory meth- ods some simple calculation procedures have been given in this lab man- ual.

The combination of the practical methods with the calculations pro- vide a tool for carrying out research with immobilized cells.

The lab manual concludes with some recent, promising and practical cases of immobilized cells as examples of applications with potential.
