Melt crystallization has emerged as a versatile and energy‐efficient method for the purification and separation of complex mixtures.

Owing to the benefits of microwave heating, further purification steps such as recrystallization or column chromatography were not required.

One scientist says that crystallization can now be used for more cost-effective downstream monoclonal antibody purification.

Crystallization and washing have potential as a purification method for monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins.
