Continuous chromatography can surmount the disadvantages of batch chromatography like low productivities and extensive usage of consumables. In this work, a 4-column continuous chromatographic system based on the principle of periodic counter-current chromatography (PCCC) was developed and tested with a model protein mixture of BSA and lysozyme. The PCCC system was specially designed for membrane adsorbers as an alternative to conventional columns to facilitate the use of disposable process units and to further increase the productivity due to higher convective mass transport in the membrane adsorber. Membrane adsorber Sartobind® Q was used to continuously purify BSA from the protein mixture. The usage of PCCC led to an increased capacity utilization (here 20%) and higher space–time-yields, and thus to a remarkable productivity increase and cost savings.

ABSTRACT Fractionation of monkey pituitary glands gave an oxytocin fraction in low yield which showed a counter-current distribution coefficient equivalent to that obtained with oxytocin from other species. Fractionation and chromatography of monkey vasopressin on carboxymethyl cellulose gave arginine-vasopressin of 60% purity, based on amino acid analysis and specific activity. Counter-current distribution on a small scale gave arginine-vasopressin of 89% purity. Reports by others that monkey pituitary glands contain arginine-vasopressin, based on pharmacological activities, are substantiated by the chemical data presented here.
