Process for the purification of serum albumin

摘要

Recombinantly produced serum albumin is purified to an extend of more than 99.5% in a series of steps, optionally, by incubation with an anion-exchange adsorbent, followed by affinity chromatography employing a hydrophobic solid phase and using a water-soluble lipid anion as desorbens in the aqueous phase. Said immobile phase comprises a carrier coupled to a 2-mercapto or 2-hydroxy alkanoic acid.
