Bioprocessinc: Prospects for Space Electrophoresis
نویسنده
چکیده
The basic principles of electrophoresis will be reviewed in light of its past contributions to biology and medicine. Preliminary experiments aboard of Apollo 14 and 16, Skylab and the recent Apollo-Soyuz Mission have confirmed the feasibility and advantages of a possible space electrophoresis facility. This has to be viewed primarily a s a unique national research resource, which may eventually yield significant benefits fo r the advancement of biomedical knowledge and i t s technological utilization. Primary objectives of the facility should be the increase of resolution and throughput for critical electrophoretic fractionation of living cells and biologically active macromolecules.
