Abstract: | The use of calcium alginate gels for the “Solids Separation” techniques was demonstrated by entrapment of a yeast extract in calcium alginate pellets and the study of the release of alcohol dehydrogenase and NADH into a dilute calcium chloride solution. The use of calcium alginate gels for a “Diffusional Chromatography” technique was demonstrated in a model system by a fractionation of NAD and hemoglobin release following their entrapment in calcium alginate pellets. The advantages of these techniques and their potentials are discussed. |
