Abstract:
A system and method for isolating and purifying complexes of biologically active compounds. The inventive system and method utilize a centrifugal filtration device employing a membrane having ligands that preferentially bind a biologically active compound. An advantage of the invention is that purifications of, e. g. , immune complexes, which heretofore took up to five days to carry out, may now be done in as little as two hours.
