Use of microfiltration as first step in recovery of protein A from fermentation broth
(2004) In Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology 112(3). p.151-162- Abstract
- The flux and transmission of protein A during microfiltration have been studied. We studied the performance of two commercial membranes: one made of nylon (Pall Ultipore Nylon(66), 0.2 mum) and one of polyether sulfone (Pall Omega, 0.16 mum). The Nylon(66) membrane had by far the best transmission of protein A although a previous study showed that bovine serum albumin (BSA), often used to characterize membranes, had much better transmission through the Omega membrane. The membrane manufacturer also states that the Omega membrane is the best membrane for this kind of application because it is a low-protein-binding membrane. The lower transmission of the Omega membrane for protein A was assumed to be owing to its smaller pores and higher... (More)

The membrane manufacturer also states that the Omega membrane is the best membrane for this kind of application because it is a low-protein-binding membrane. The lower transmission of the Omega membrane for protein A was assumed to be owing to its smaller pores and higher charge density in combination with the larger Stokes radius for protein A. When the pH was lowered, the Nylon(66) membrane still had the higher transmission. It can thus be concluded that a membrane that is found suitable for the recovery process of one protein is not always the best choice for the recovery process for other proteins even though the membrane is low protein binding.
