Reproducibility in protein purification by preparative isoelectric focusing depends greatly on temperature control during the separation process. A preparative apparatus is described, including a heat exchanger between compartments with isoelectric membranes. The selectivity of the isoelectric membranes was optimized as a function of isoelectric points of the separated proteins. At 2500 V and 60 W, 0.3 g of horse heart myoglobin from 0.2 g of whale skeletal muscle myoglobin could be separated in 1 h. At a total load of 2 g protein, 97% of bovine hemoglobin (2% initial concentration) was purified from bovine serum albumin (0.15%).
