In bulk protein purification, a common first step to isolate proteins is precipitation with ammonium sulphate (NH 4) 2 SO 4. This is performed by adding increasing amounts of ammonium sulphate and collecting the different fractions of precipitate protein.rotein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate one or a few proteins from a complex mixture, usually cells, tissues or whole organisms.
Phenolic disinfectants are effective bactericides, fungicides, tuberculocides and virucides, but are ineffective against spore-forming bacteria such as Clostridium difficile. EPA-registered phenolic disinfectants are used to disinfect surface areas and non-critical medical devices.
Phenol is used primarily in the production of phenolic resins and in the manufacture of nylon and other synthetic fibers. It is also used in slimicides (chemicals that kill bacteria and fungi in slimes), as a disinfectant and antiseptic, and in medicinal preparations such as mouthwash and sore throat lozenges.
