Abstract
New macromolecular filters (PLASMAX AS-08-C and AS-08-R) have been developed using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) hollow filter. The in vitro evaluation was performed using the bovine plasma at 25°C and 7°C (cryofiltration), by the three method (One way, Recycle and Partial discard).
Recycle method at 25°C with AS-08-R filter is the best system bythe following reasons.
i) Treated plasma volume till plugging: partial discard>Recycle>One way.
ii) Recovery ratio of albumin: Recycle>One way>>Partial discard.
iii) Separation efficiency: 25°C (AS-08-R)>7°C (AS-O8-C).
