This report focus on phase behavior of polyethylene glycol (PEG)4000/ phosphate/ guanidine hydrochloride/ water system at different guanidine hydrochloride concentrations and pH. The binodal of the systems was displaced toward higher concentrations of the components with increasing guanidine hydrochloride concentrations. The partition coefficient of guanidine hydrochloride was near unity and in...

the present work focuses on preparation and characterization of erythromycin loaded gelatin nanoparticles through nanoprecipitation method. the procedure consists of the increase of the aqueous gelatin solution to the non-solvent phase containing lutherol f127. three different measures of cross-linker and polymer concentration were also examined, and the optimum concentration was found. the mor...

Aqueous two-phase systems contained within microdroplets enable a bottom-up approach to mimicking the dynamic microcompartmentation of biomaterial that naturally occurs within the cytoplasm of cells. Here, we demonstrate the generation of femtolitre aqueous two-phase droplets within a microfluidic oil channel. Gated pressure pulses were used to generate individual, stationary two-phase microdro...

Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE), unique liquid-liquid extraction, involves a transfer of solute from one aqueous phase to another. ATPE includes polymer–polymer type and polymer–salt type systems for the recovery of proteins. The protein must be recovered in a highly purified form in order to improve its quality, decrease energy consumption, reduce waste and minimize costs. To acquire the h...

In this work, the combination of the advantages of two-phase catalysis, electrocatalysis and colloid catalysis is presented. It is shown that palladium or gold colloids prepared by citrate reduction can be charged negatively in a heterogeneous two-phase reaction and subsequently used as aqueous catalysts for dehalogenation reactions. This can be regarded as a new type of electrocatalysis. 2002 ...
