Advanced separators

Lead-acid batteries will continue to have, by far, the major share of the standby battery market, due to their outstanding specific-energy, life and cost characteristics. It is expected that there will be a significant growth of the standby battery market during the next few years. Most standby batteries already have the valve-regulated

Proteias, amino acids bonded through peptide linkages to form macromolecular biopolymers, used as chiral stationary phases for hplc iaclude bovine and human semm albumin, a -acid glycoproteia, ovomucoid, avidin, and ceUobiohydrolase. The bovine semm albumin column is marketed under the name Resolvosil and can be obtained from Phenomenex. The human semm albumin column can be obtained from Alltech Associates, Advanced Separation Technologies, Inc., and J. T. Baker. The a -acid glycoproteia and ceUobiohydrolase can be obtained from Advanced Separation Technologies, Inc. or J. T. Baker, Inc. 

A method for the fractionation of plasma, allowing albumin, y-globulin, and fibrinogen to become available for clinical use, was developed during World War II (see also Fractionation, blood-plasma fractionation). A stainless steel blood cell separation bowl, developed in the early 1950s, was the earhest blood cell separator. A disposable polycarbonate version of the separation device, now known as the Haemonetics Latham bowl for its inventor, was first used to collect platelets from a blood donor in 1971. Another cell separation rotor was developed to faciUtate white cell collections. This donut-shaped rotor has evolved to the advanced separation chamber of the COBE Spectra apheresis machine. 

Cyclodextrin stationary phases utilize cyclodextrins bound to a soHd support in such a way that the cyclodextrin is free to interact with solutes in solution. These bonded phases consist of cyclodextrin molecules linked to siUca gel by specific nonhydrolytic silane linkages (5,6). This stable cyclodextrin bonded phase is sold commercially under the trade name Cyclobond (Advanced Separation Technologies, Whippany, New Jersey). The vast majority of all reported hplc separations on CD-bonded phases utilize this media which was also the first chiral stationary phase (csp) developed for use in the reversed-phase mode. 

The column was 25 cm long, 4.6 mm I.D. and packed with Partisil 10. It is seen that linear curves were obtained for three different solutes and two different moderators in n-heptane. Scott and Beesley [14] obtained retention data for the two enantiomers, (S) and (R) 4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone. The column chosen was 25 cm long, 4.6 mm I.D. packed with 5 mm silica particles bonded with the stationary phase Vancomycin (Chirobiotic V provided by Advanced Separations Technology Inc., Whippany, New Jersey). This stationary phase is a macrocyclic glycopeptide Vancomycin that has a molecular weight of 1449.22, and an elemental composition of 54.69% carbon. 

A further novel reduced-resin design is the ISEP from Advanced Separation Technologies, Inc. This employs a carousel holding 30 fixed bed columns of resin that continuously rotate to match 20 fixed top and bottom ports. This design also provides for high purity water and reduced regenerant demand and wash volumes, but at a significant capital cost.

Cyclodextrin solution for extraction studies was prepared at a concentration of 1.00 x 10" iif by dissolving solid y-CDx in deionized water (Continental Water Systems, Atlanta, Georgia). Fresh solution was prepared daily to prevent bacterial growth and CDx decomposition from interfering with complexation and extraction. Cyclodextrin was purchased from Advanced Separation Technologies, Inc. (Whippany, New Jersey) and was used as received. Solid CDx from one lot number was used for all extractions.

The use of macrocyclic antibiotics as chiral selectors for HPLC was first proposed by Armstrong et al. [50] in 1994. The most successful of the CSPs are based on the glycopeptide antibiotics vancomycin, teicoplanin and ristocetin A and are commercially available through Advanced Separation Technologies Inc. (Astec Inc.) as Chirobiotic V , Chirobiotic 1 and Chirobiotic R , respectively. More recently, a number of other derivatives of these antibiotics have also been developed offering different stereoselectivities. A comprehensive handbook is now available from Astec Inc. [51 ] alongside a number of recent review articles...
