New Possibilities for Plasma Fractionators
What if plasma protein production could be conducted without the well-known limitations of the Cohn process?
How about a new multi-product plasma fractionation process that:
- Splits the main plasma proteins into well separated streams
- Operates with high yield of Immunoglubulin G
- Does not alter the functionality of coagulation factors and protease inhibitors
- Enables capture of more product from scarce human plasma raw material
Now plasma fractionators have an option to significantly increase product yields and profits by utilization of a new Refinery Process for dedicated isolation of the main plasma proteins, including:
- Prothrombin complex
- Factor VIII
- von Willebrand factor
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin
- Immunoglobulin G
- Albumin
- Transferrin
The full Refinery Process involves 5 unique chromatographic separation steps that each result in a unique product stream containing specific purified plasma protein.
More monetary value is captured from the plasma through operating the new Refinery Process
The dedicated chromatographic separation approach results in greatly enhanced protein yields; so important when working with scarce, expensive plasma.
The Refinery Process is based on a modular principle, meaning that one or more of the separation steps may be utilized individually or together, or linked to existing Cohn Processing. For example, isolation of IgG from Cohn process side streams results in increased overall product yield.
