      The use of aqueous two-phase systems for partitioning macromolecules, organelles, and cells was developed by Per-Ake Albertsson in the mid-fifties. Initially applied to plant organelles and viruses, these systems have since expanded into various fields of cell biology and biochemistry. Since 1979, biennial International Conferences on Partitioning in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems have been held in locations such as Los Angeles, Sheffield, Vancouver, and Lund. The 5th conference took place in Oxford from August 23-28, 1987, focusing on "Advances in Separations Using Aqueous Phase Systems in Cell Biology and Biotechnology." This volume features formal presentations from the conference, showcasing contributions from over sixty researchers across diverse scientific disciplines, marking a significant expansion in the field of bioseparations. Disciplines represented include Biophysics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, and Process Engineering, from both academic and commercial sectors. These conferences facilitate the review and comparison of advancements in partitioning and provide valuable information and networking opportunities for those interested in phase partitioning. Attendance has steadily increased, with 140 scientists participating in the Oxford conference, which included ten symposia organized as specific chapters in this volume.
