Hybrid Particle-Nonwoven Membrane Materials for Bioseparations
Adsorption separations performed in feed streams containing large particulates pose interesting problems, the solution of which would aid in many fields of bioseapartions. Production of biologically derived protein products is one of the most rapidly expanding sectors in the global economy. The …

Design and Application of Hollow Silica Microspheres for Density-based Bioseparations
Challenges to the detection of low-abundance biological analytes from complex mixtures, such as biological fluids and food extracts, still exist and are critical for the management of infectious diseases like influenza and gastroenteritis. Typically, analytes must be separated and concentrated from …

Magnetic adsorbents displaying switchable ion-exchange behaviour
Magnetic bioseparations based on non-porous adsorbents offer a low-fouling alternative to the porous materials required by conventional adsorbent separation techniques. Interest in magnetic bioseparations has been limited by the high cost of suitable magnetic absorbents. In this study a variety of …

The functionalisation and application of microporous micro-capillary films for the chromatographic purification of biomolecules
… subsequent testing as chromatography media for bioseparations. MMCFs were functionalised to form weak anion (MMCF-DEAE) and weak cation-exchangers (MMCF-gCM and MMCF-CA). Emphasis was placed on low-cost functionalisation methods amenable to single-use applications. To confirm the addition of …

Rational construction by molecular dynamics modeling and simulations of porous adsorbent media for bioseparation
… matrix has become a very important method for bioseparations. In this dissertation, a novel fundamental and systematic methodology has been developed that uses the molecular dynamics (MD) modeling and simulation approach to rationally design, construct, and characterize polymeric porous …

Selective extraction of colorful proteins using reverse micelles
… which have the potential to lower the costs of bioseparations.</p> <p>The continuous separation method of liquid-liquid extraction using reverse micelles is one such technique. While this technique has been researched in the past, previous studies lack information about realistic complex protein …

Identification of the factors impacting immunosorbent performance
… an indispensable tool in the field of bioseparations. However, the use of immunoaffinity chromatography at a large scale is frequently precluded by the high capital costs of antibody columns. This is in part due to the low functional activity of immobilized antibodies and the high cost …
