Bio oil aqueous two phase systems were formed with ethanol and the salts of (NH4)2SO4, K2HPO4 and NaH2PO4 in bio oil on the ratio of 10:5:10(by mass). After phase separation, both the upper and the lower layers were analyzed by gas column/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). As a result, both K2HPO4/ethanol and NaH2PO4/ethanol system can enrich phenols and levoglucosan in the upperand lower layers,respectly, while NaH2PO4/ethanol system seldom changes the components of bio oil; the (NH4)2SO4/ethanol system is quit different with the other two and we have detected some components with nitrogen. Hence, NaH2PO4/ethanol is an advantage aqueous two phase system for bio oil treatment.

Despite the fact that ionic liquid-based aqueous two phase systems (ATPSs) have been widely studied for extraction purposes, the adequacy of biodegradable organic salts as salting out agents has been left unexploited.

From analytical to commercial scale, aqueous two-phase systems have their application in the purification, characterization and study of biomaterials. In order to improve the selectivity of the systems, the biospecific affinity ligands were introduced. In the affinity partitioning aqueous two-phase system, have many enzymes been purified. This review discusses the partitioning of some enzymes in the affinity aqueous two-phase systems in regard to the different ligands, including reactive dyes, metal ions and other ligands. Some integration of aqueous two-phase system with other techniques for more effective purification of enzymes are also presented.

In this article, the partitioning behavior of C-phycocyanin (C-PC) in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) with different component was investigated to evaluate the applicability of ATPS for extracting high purity of C-PC without chromatography. Under the optimized conditions (pH = 6; PEG-2000, 16 %, w/w; potassium sodium tartrate 21 %, w/w), a maximum purity of 5.01 was achieved after the whole separation process and the yield of the C-PC was 76.94 %.

This work presents the experimental study results of Fe(III) and Zn(II) extraction by ionic liquids based on trioctylmethylammonium chloride and rhodanide in an aqueous two-phase system based on polypropylene glycol 425 and sodium chloride. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that these extractants are effective for the extraction of metals from aqueous solutions, and aqueous two-phase systems represent a “green” alternative to traditional extraction systems.

AbstractFrom biomarkers to drug carriers, Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are being used successfully in numerous applications. However, while the subject has been steadily rising in popularity, current methods of isolating EVs are lagging behind, incapable of isolating EVs at a high enough quantity or quality while also requiring expensive, specialized equipment. The “isolation problem” is one of the major obstacles in the field of EV research - and even more so for their potential, widespread use for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic applications. Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) has been reported previously as a promising method for isolating EVs quickly and efficiently, and with little contaminants - however, this method has not seen widespread use. In this study, an ATPS-based isolation protocol is used to isolate small EVs from plant, cell culture, and parasite culture sources. Isolated EVs were characterized in surface markers, size, and morphological manner. Additionally, the capacity of ATPS-based EV isolation in removing different contaminants was shown by measuring protein, fatty acid, acid, and phenol red levels of the final isolate. In conclusion, we have shown that EVs originating from different biological sources can be isolated successfully in a cost-effective and user-friendly manner with the use of aqueous two-phase systems.
