Rapid linear scale-up of a protein separation by centrifugal partition chromatography
This highly cited paper was the culmination of a 3-year BBSRC grant (BB/C506364/1) to develop new technologies for the purification of proteins. It investigated a new double cascading chamber design of centrifugal partition chromatography and demonstrated excellent resolution in the model separation of myoglobin and lysozyme using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) which are a gentle host medium for proteins. This was then predictably scaled up from lab prep to pilot industrial scale with an excellent fit between theory and practice. The industrial success of this process can be verified by Francois Couillard director of Armen Instruments - francois.couillard@armen-instrument.com
