Melt crystallization has emerged as a versatile and energy‐efficient method for the purification and separation of complex mixtures. By controlling the solidification of a molten phase, this technique ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

Using a non-traditional, micro-organism separation method, researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology discovered a faster technique that can be used to distinguish cells that are resistant to ...

Five presentations on protein purification at last month’s “Bioprocess International Europe Conference” in Prague provided clear and detailed insights on the latest thinking on how to best handle ...

A well-known technique for separating polymers, such as proteins, has been adjusted for analysis of mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines. Multidetector Field Flow Fractionation (MD-FFF) has been in ...

In this Technique Blast – a new series that will provide short, informative discussions about a specific technique – Digital Editor, Tristan Free, speaks with Joseph Pesek (San José State University, ...

Waters supersaturated with sparingly soluble salts are encountered in RO/NF (reverse osmosis/nanofiltration) membrane-based water treatment processes, cooling water discharge, and produced water from ...

To report our methods for expression and purification of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), a ligand-gated pentameric ion channel and an important drug target. α7-nAChRs of 10 different ...

Possibly the only good thing to come out of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is the subsequent increase in research into finding more effective ways to cle_n up oil spills, including such initiatives as ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads ...

An enzymic electric cell was constructed in which the anode was composed of a zinc plate inserted in aqueous NH4Cl solution and the cathode was composed of an electrode made of a glassy carbon stick ...
