β‐Galactosidase has been purified from an ammonium sulfate precipitate of E. coli strain ML308 by biospecific adsorption on a column of agarose gel substituted with p ‐aminophenyl‐β‐ D ‐thiogalactopyranoside. The system described using a 1.8 liter column has a useful processing capacity of 3.8 × 10 6 units of β‐galactosidase per 2 hr cycle. This corresponds to about 5 g of pure enzyme. An electromechanical timing device operates a set of six solenoid valves and carries out a preset program consisting of sample application, washing, and elation operations.
