Phase diagrams for dextran-PEG aqueous two-phase systems at 22°C

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

We have determined phase diagrams at 22°C for the aqueous two-phase systems composed of dextran, polyethylene glycol, and water. The effects of polyethylene glycol and dextran molecular weight on phase separation are reported. These phase diagrams provide more complete data for dextran/PEG/water system, and will be needed for the correlation of biomolecule partitioning.
