The ability to produce proteins through genetic engineering of microbial and mam- malian cells and the need for high purity therapeutic proteins has established a need for efficient large scale protein purification schemes. The system of Continuous Affinity-Recycle Extraction (CARE) combines the advantages of well accepted separation methods, e.g. affinity chromatography, liquid extraction and membrane filtration, while avoiding the drawbacks inherent in batch and column operations. The technical feasibility of the CARE system was studied using B-galactosidase affinity purification as a test system. Figure P12.5 shows the process. What is the recy- cle flow rate in mL/hr in each stream? Assume that the concentrations of U are equiva lent to the concentrations of the B-galactosidase in solution, and that steady state exists.

Question
The ability to produce proteins through genetic engineering of microbial and mam- malian cells and the need for high purity therapeutic proteins has established a need for efficient large scale protein purification schemes.
The system of Continuous Affinity-Recycle Extraction (CARE) combines the advantages of well accepted separation methods, e.g. affinity chromatography, liquid extraction and membrane filtration, while avoiding the drawbacks inherent in batch and column operations.
The technical feasibility of the CARE system was studied using B-galactosidase affinity purification as a test system. Figure P12.5 shows the process. What is the recy- cle flow rate in mL/hr in each stream? Assume that the concentrations of U are equiva lent to the concentrations of the B-galactosidase in solution, and that steady state exists.
