The toxicity and corrosion potential of hydrogen sulfide in raw biogas underlines the need for biogas purification. Several techniques available for removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas are out of the reach for common end users due to lack of knowledge, higher running costs, and insufficient operational skills. The present experimental study aims to propagate hydrogen sulfide removal techniq...

A new chemical affinity system is described for the purification of proteins. The Linx Affinity Purification System enables researchers to quickly and easily bind a protein ligand to a chromatographic matrix and use the resulting affinity resin to purify a second protein from crude mixtures. The entire process takes approximately 2 h.

The purification and characterization of Gram-negative bacterial lipid A is tedious and time-consuming. Herein we report a rapid and sensitive method to identify lipid A directly on intact bacteria without any chemical treatment or purification, using an atypical solvent system to solubilize the matrix combined with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

The chemical synthesis of peptides or small proteins is often an important step in many research projects and has stimulated the development of numerous chemical methodologies. The aim of this review is to give a substantial overview of the solid phase methods developed for the production or purification of polypeptides. The solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technique has facilitated conside...

Antiviral interferon activity in any one species can be exhibited by a variety of substances that differ in their physical and chemical properties, but the nature of these differences is not understood. Conditions that can lead to the formation of diverse types of interferons have been outlined. Reasons have been adduced why, for certain purposes, purification of interferons is desirable or eve...

The last stage in the design process for a chemical product is its manufacture, where the purification has an important role. Short-path evaporation is a safe method suitable for separation and purification of thermally unstable materials. In this work the process modelling and a systematic strategy of solution is presented for a short-path evaporator to obtain the desired product specification...

During the past few years, synthetic DNA, used as a primer in DNA polymerization, in site-directed mutagenesis or as a probe in gene selection, has assumed a central role in recombinant DNA technology (1). This was made possible by the development of methods for efficient solid phase chemical synthesis. Deoxyribonucleotides are ideally suited to solid-phase synthesis since their relative chemic...

The rapidly growing field of biotechnology has created a critical need for simple, fast andhigh-throughput processes for the separation and purification of biomolecules from biologicalmatrices. In recent years, several bioseparation techniques have been proposed as advancedalternatives to the classical separation methods. These modern processes emphasize ultrahighselective and sensitive analysi...
