主权项

1. A process for the separation of bioactive compounds, the process comprising the steps of:
(a) contacting a plurality of bioactive compounds with a first polymer adsorbent under conditions allowing adsorption of at least one bioactive compound on to the first adsorbent while at least one bioactive compound is not adsorbed on to the first adsorbent; (b) collecting a solution comprising the at least one bioactive compound which has not adsorbed on to the first adsorbent; and (c) contacting the solution obtained in step (b) with a second polymer adsorbent under conditions allowing adsorption of at least one bioactive compound contained in the solution obtained in step (b) on to the second adsorbent, wherein the first polymer adsorbent and the second polymer adsorbent comprise different polymeric materials.
