Abstract:
Using a simple magnetic separation apparatus, Plasmodium berghei malarial pigment has been purified 200-fold in a single step. The technique exploits the paramagnetic properties of malarial pigment (hemozoin) and provides a simple and rapid method for the isolation of this material with high purification and yield.
