A novel method was developed to obtain both highly purified bovine serum albumin (BSA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), at the same time, on a pilot scale. Heat-isopropyl alcohol was used to denature and precipitate the other plasma proteins, except for BSA and IgG; then, CM-Trisacryl was applied to further purify and isolate BSA and IgG. The new procedure produced highly purified BSA and IgG, 98% and 96.8%, respectively, and yielded ideal output, 2.18% and 0.54%, from starting plasma, respectively. The new technique is a rapid and is an available pilot process to prepare the plasma fractions devoid of cellular components.
