The commercial preparation of purified diphtheria toxoid primarily depends on the effective separation of the toxin from a large culture volume of Corynebacterium diphtheriae vaccine strain. Tangential flow or cross-flow filtration is gaining momentum in the processing of biologicals. This study deals with the separation of toxins using a microporous membrane (0.45-microm pore size) with operational variables like transmembrane pressure (TMP), cross flow rate and flux. Under the best conditions, 98% recovery was achieved. The data and conclusions presented here have been drawn from process development work employing available equipment.

As functional derivatives of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have garnered significant attention and application in regenerative medicine. However, the technical limitations for large-scale isolation of sEVs and their heterogeneous nature have added complexity to their applications. It remains unclear if the heterogeneous sEVs represent different aspects of MSCs functions.

As natural resources continue to be exploited, dense medium cyclones (DMCs) are increasingly utilized for the preconcentration of low-grade ores to meet the demands for higher feed grade, increased processing capacity, and reduced energy consumption. However, determining the optimal fineness of ferrosilicon remains ambiguous for different types of ores and is often described as more of an art than a science. This paper investigates the subtle effects of ferrosilicon fineness on flow field characteristics, medium classification, and the ore separation process using a validated numerical approach, which integrates a two-fluid model, a turbulence dispersion model, and a discrete phase model.
