Abstract: Methods and devices for sorting cottonseeds. Methods include the use of an optical sorter to sort cottonseed by color. Additionally, methods include sorting cottonseed using a gravity table to collect high-density seed (“accepts”) and mid-density seed (“middlings”), followed by sorting the mid-density, and optionally, the high-density seed using an optical sorter to collect dark cottonseed, thereby providing high-quality cottonseed for packaging. Devices and systems comprising one or more gravity tables and one or more optical sorters are provided.

Abstract: A method to at least one of separate and purify biomolecules via an aqueous two-phase extraction includes providing the biomolecules in a first aqueous phase, providing a porous material comprising pores, providing a second aqueous phase at least in the pores of the porous material, and, at least one of separating and purifying the biomolecules by partially transferring the biomolecules from the first aqueous phase to the second aqueous phase. A dissolution of the biomolecules into the second aqueous phase in the pores of the porous material occurs during the at least one of separating and purifying.
