Abstract: An improvement in electrophoretic apparatus is provided for non-mechanical fluid transfer between the anode and cathode electrode containing chambers of the apparatus. Buffering fluid is transferred from one electrode containing chamber to the other via gas collecting means and a conduit which extends at a positive angle of include between the electrode containing chambers. By providing a constant and uniform rate of fluid transfer, a uniform pH value is maintained throughout the apparatus without use of mechanical pumps for the duration of the electrophoresis.
Abstract: A novel resin is provided for use in chromatography to enable purification of plasma proteins Clq, Clr and Cls from Cohn Fraction I and other materials. An improved method results in obtaining substantially all of these materials from Cohn Fraction I or other media. The components of complement thus obtained are highly purified and retain full biological activity.
Abstract: A new compound amidinophenylmethylsulfonylfluoride is formed and preferably used in the para isomer form as an irreversible inactivator of selected serine proteases.
