Cellfractionation is the separation of homogeneous sets, usually organelle s, from a population of cells. Steps There are three principal steps involved Disruption homogenization of cells and liberation of organelles. Macro Filtration Purification of cell components. Homogenization Tissue is typically homogenized in an isotonic buffer solution using a variety of mechanisms. A Potter Elvehjem homogeniser is often used as it is relatively gentle. Other procedures include grinding, mincing, chopping, pressure changes, osmotic shock, freeze thawing, and ultra sound homogenization. The solution is homogenized in an isotonic solution to stop osmotic damage, with a pH buffer to regulate pH, and at an ice cold temperature to prevent enzyme damage. The organelles are kept either cold, isotonic or buffered. See Cell disruption for further details. Filtration This step may not be necessary depending on the source of the cells. Animal tissue however is likely to yield connective tissue which must be removed. Commonly, filtration is achieved either by pouring through gauze or with a suction filter and the relevant grade ceramic filter. Purification Invariably achieved by Differential centrifugation the sequential increase in gravitational force resulting in the sequential separation of organelles according to their density.

Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. A common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction. Fractionation makes it possible to isolate more than two components in a mixture in a single run. This property sets it apart from other separation techniques.

Refimprove date December 2009 Kinetic fractionation is a process that separates stable isotope s from each other by their mass during unidirectional processes. One naturally occurring example of kinetic fractionation is the evaporation of seawater to form cloud s. In this instance, isotopically lighter water molecules i.e., those with sup 16 sup oxygen O will evaporate slightly more easily than will the isotopically heavier water molecules with sup 18 sup oxygen O . During the course of this process the oxygen isotopes are fractionation fractionated the clouds become enriched with sup 16 sup O, the seawater becomes enriched in sup 18 sup O. Thus, rainwater is observed to be isotopically lighter than seawater. Heavier isotopes favor the less energetic liquid phase of water during evaporation and condensation. Water vapor is enriched with light isotopes relative to sea water. Clouds are depleted of light isotopes relative to water vapor. This results in higher latitude waters being isotopically light . As water vapor is driven poleward by Earth s energy budget and rotating Hadley cells, the heavy isotopes are left behind as clouds and rain.

Orphan date November 2006 Range fractionation is a term used in biology . Sense organs are usually composed of many sensory receptor s measuring the same property. These sensory receptors show a limited degree of precision due to an upper limit in action potential firing rate . If the sensory receptors receptors are endowed with distinct transfer function s in such a way that the points of highest sensitivity are scattered along the axis of the quality being measured, the precision of the sense organ as a whole can be increased. This was shown for the chordotonal organ in the locust leg by Usherwood, Runion & Campbell 1968 . Literature P. N. R. Usherwood and H. Runion and J.

Mass independent isotope fractionation refers to any Chemical change chemical or Physical change physical process that acts to separate isotope s, where the amount of separation does not scale in proportion with the difference in the masses of the isotopes. Most isotopic fractionation s including typical kinetic fractionation s and equilibrium fractionation s are caused by the effects of the mass of an isotope on atomic or molecular velocities, diffusion diffusivities or bond strengths. Mass independent fractionation processes are less common, occurring mainly in photochemistry photochemical and selection rule spin forbidden reactions . Observation of mass independently fractionated materials can therefore be used to trace these types of reactions in nature and in laboratory experiments. Mass independent fractionation in nature The most notable examples of mass independent fractionation in nature are found in the isotopes of isotopes of oxygen oxygen and isotopes of sulfur sulfur . The first example was discovered by Robert N.

Field flow fractionation , abbreviated FFF, is a separation technique where a field is applied to a fluid Suspension chemistry suspension or solution pumped through a long and narrow channel, perpendicular to the direction of flow, in order to cause separation of the particles present in the fluid, dependent on their differing mobilities under the force exerted by the field.

Fractionation Research Inc. FRI is an industry cooperative organization that researches the performance of industrial scale mass transfer devices such as trays, packings and other column internals. Its objective is to facilitate the design of more economical distillation, absorption and stripping systems. Before the formation of FRI, such research was performed on a small scale by universities or private companies. The latter controlled their results as proprietary information, generally inaccessible by competitors. History FRI is a non profit organization formed by petroleum, chemical and engineering companies to perform plant scale research in distillation. It began in 1952, spearheaded by Dr. Karl Hachmuth and T. B. Hudson of Phillips Petroleum Company in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Hachmuth was noted for his research into the design of mass transfer equipment, He realized that the effort required would be beyond the resources of a single company, and proposed the formation of a cooperative organization to pursue this work. Hudson became the first president of FRI. In 1954, FRI contracted to use a simulation facility at the headquarters of C. F. Braun & Co. in Alhambra, California. Operations continued at Alhambra until 1929, when Braun was acquired by Halliburton, Inc., and merged into its Brown & Root subsidiary ref http www.nytimes.com 1989 06 17 business company news halliburton deal.html New York Times , Halliburton Deal June 17, 1989. ref now KBR .
