Abstract
Aqueous, liquid-liquid, polymer two-phase systems are obtained with mixtures of aqueous solutions of two different polymers. These phase systems are very mild towards biological material and can be used for the partition of biomolecules, membrane vesicles, cell organelles and whole cells. The partition depends mainly on the surface properties of the particles and molecules. These include size, charge, hydrophobicity and the biospecific structure of the surface particles.
