albumins
Albumins: Functions and Applications Functions: Albumins serve important functions in the maintenance of the blood plasma system and is an essential component of regulation due to its functions of transporting…
Specific Plasma Proteins
Most plasma proteins have their isoelectric point below pH7 so that their solubility will decrease with acidification. Major Human Plasma Proteins (67% of total plasma protein mass) Albumin: serves important functions…
silicon dioxide
Condie, (US 3,998,946) teaches treating blood plasma products with fumed colloidal silica to remove fibrinogen and plasminogen. According to the procedure, blood is centrifuged to separate out the precipitate, the supernantant (plasma)…
ethanol precipitation
Human blood plasma is conveniently fractionated by the cold ethanol precipitation method. For this method the plasma is treated with ethanol at below 5C and by increasing the concentration of ethanol and reducing the pH,…

PEG
PEG/Salt Systems PEG-salt two phase system: has been known for some time. Kohler formed 7.5% w/w PEG 1500 and 14% potassium phasphate two phase systems directly in a bioreactor and used…
EOPO
For antibody purification using partitioning see "antibody purification" Many thermoseparating polymers contain ethylene oxide groups. PEG is a thermospearating polymer but its cloud point is too high (above 100C) for use in…
