    Summary

    Separating serum proteins using electric and gravitational fields is challenging. Optimized triangular cells achieved 97.5% pure gamma-globulin at 80% yield, improving protein separation efficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Protein Separation
    • Electrophoresis

    Background:

    • Serum protein separation is crucial for diagnostics and therapeutics.
    • Traditional methods face challenges in achieving high purity and yield.
    • Albumin and gamma-globulin exhibit distinct sedimentation behaviors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the sedimentation of albumin and gamma-globulin under electric and gravitational fields.
    • To optimize continuous separation processes for high-purity gamma-globulin.
    • To enhance the efficiency of serum protein fractionation.

    Main Methods:

    • Discontinuous experiments in rectangular cells using stained albumin.
    • Continuous single-stage separation of gamma-globulin.
    • Optimization of continuous separation in triangular cells.

    Main Results:

    • Albumin sedimentation was limited even under strong electric fields.
    • Continuous separation yielded only ~50% of gamma-globulin due to homogeneous distribution.
    • Optimized triangular cells achieved 97.5% gamma-globulin purity at 80% yield.
    • High serum flow-through rates (0.5 l/h) were achieved in a 40-cell block.

    Conclusions:

    • Electric and gravitational fields alone are insufficient for complete albumin separation.
    • Continuous separation in optimized triangular cells significantly improves gamma-globulin purity and yield.
    • The developed method offers an efficient approach for large-scale serum protein fractionation.
