Partition Efficiency of Eccentric Coil for Countercurrent Chromatographic Separation of Proteins Using Small-scale Cross-axis Coil Planet Centrifuge with Circular and Elliptic Cylindrical Columns

摘要

The partition efficiency of the double-spaced coil for eccentric and toroidal coils on countercurrent chromatographic separation of proteins was evaluated using the small-scale cross-axis coil planet centrifuge (CPC) equipped with circular and elliptic cylindrical columns.Standard cytochrome?c, myoglobin and lysozyme samples were used for separation with the 12.5% (w/w) polyethylene glycol 1000 and 12.5% (w/w) dibasic potassium phosphate system.In the circular column, the double-spaced eccentric coil yielded better peak resolution than the double-spaced toroidal coil, and the double-spaced eccentric coil yielded better peak resolution than the single-spaced eccentric coil.In the elliptic column, the double-spaced eccentric coil also produced better peak resolution than the double-spaced toroidal coil, but the single-spaced eccentric coil yielded better peak resolution than the double-spaced eccentric coil.The overall results indicated that the double-spaced eccentric coil for the circular column and the single-spaced eccentric coil for the elliptic column yielded better protein separation using the small-scale cross-axis CPC with aqueous two-phase solvent systems.
