		Fractionation is a separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture (solid, liquid, solute or suspension) is divided up in a large number of smaller quantities (fractions) in which the composition changes according to a gradient.
		In fractional crystallization and fractional freezing chemical substances are fractionated based on difference in solubility at a given temperature.
		Fractionation involves changing the conditions of the pooled plasma (e.g., the temperature or the acidity) so that proteins that are normally dissolved in the plasma fluid become insoluble, forming large clumps, called precipitate.

	The Rockefeller University Journey Into the Cell
		Indeed, before the advent of modern cell biology, pioneered by Claude at The Rockefeller University (then Institute) in the 1940s, many biologists viewed the cell as a mere "bag of enzymes," a "biochemical bog" filled with formless protoplasm and devoid of inner structure.
		The cell is a cultured fibroblast originating from a chick embryo, which was grown by Porter on polyvinyl film, then peeled off and transferred to a wire specimen grid.
		The Rockefeller University celebrates the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the modern era of cell biology with a three-day symposium on the past, present and future of this central science.

		The study of cells is made possible through the use of ‘cytology’ the preparation of materials for examination through microscopes as an average animal cell exists on a scale of 10 microns roughly one hundredths of a millimetres.
		We have already determined the cell to be the foundation to all organisms, however the term cell is associative and categorises a wide variation.

	Tissue fractionation
		The purpose of tissue or cell fractionation is to obtain a pure sample of part of the original whole, such as mitochondria, plasma membranes, DNA, RNA, soluble proteins, or even a specific macromolecule.
		Suspensions of cells that are obtained from whole tissue must be lysed (burst open) in order to release their contents, unless lysis is accomplished by the homogenization itself.
		Yields are typically reported in a table, with columns for (1) name of the fraction, (2) volume of the fraction, (3) concentration of protein in the fraction, and (4) yield.

	Tips from the Bench: Does Fractionation of Blood Samples Affect mRNA Expression Levels? (Ambion TechNotes 13:2)
		Fractionation of white blood cells (WBCs), aka leukocytes, offers several advantages over use of whole blood, including concentration of the sample, removal of the RNases found in plasma, and the ability to use a more homogeneous population of cells for analysis.
		Blood fractionation to obtain the “buffy coat” fraction containing the WBCs involves centrifuging anticoagulated blood to separate the cell components according to density, allowing recovery of the total leukocyte population.
		After centrifugation, the blood separates into an upper plasma fraction, comprising ~60% of the sample volume, a lower red blood cell fraction comprising ~40%, and a thin interface layer, called the “buffy coat”.

	George E. Palade - Autobiography (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It was during this period that cell biology became a recognized field of research in biological sciences and that the Journal of Cell Biology and the American Society for Cell Biology were founded.
		The first relied exclusively on cell fractionation, and was developed in collaboration with Philip Siekevitz, Lewis Greene, Colvin Redman, David Sabatini and Yutaka Tashiro; it led to the characterization of the zymogen granules and to the discovery of the segregation of secretory products in the cisternal space of the endoplasmic reticulum.
		Along this line of research, Marilyn Farquhar and I investigated the capillaries of the renal glomeruli and recognized that, in their case, the basement membrane is the filtration barrier for molecules of 100A diameter or larger; a byproduct of this work was the definition of junctional complexes in a variety of epithelia.

	Cell Fractionation Based on Density Gradient
		The mixture is placed in a bead homogenizer, an ultrasonic cell disrupter, or a simple kitchen blender and the cell membranes are broken to spill out the cell contents.
		The final supernatant may be considered to be the soluble portion of the cell cytoplasm.
		A centrifuge can be highly helpful to accelerate this process of reaching the quasi-equilibrium point; however, unlike the differential centrifugation technique used during the first stage of cell separation, the length of centrifugation for this second stage does not matter too much, as long as the system is permitted to come to quasi-equilibrium.

	Dynamics: Cell Fractionation
		For this type of fractionation, which tissue we use, and the method of homogenization are dictated by the biological system.
		Homogeneous cell populations from cell culture are well suited for cell fractionation.
		The particular fractionation procedure we will use was designed to maximize the activity of mitochondria (they are extremely fragile) while partially sacrificing the yield and resolution of some of the more stable fractions.

	Fractionation of mammalian blood
		Spinning down the cells separates the cell pellet from most of the plasma proteins, which are soluble and remain in the supernatant.
		Cell pellets are seldom tightly packed, however, so without one more wash there may still be plasma proteins in with the pellet.
		As lysis proceeds, ruptured cells empty their contents increasing the osmotic strength of the medium, until a balance is reached in which the medium is again isotonic with the remaining intact cells.

	Cell Wall Genomics - Techniques
		A secondary concern in cell wall isolation is to not lose some of the less tenaciously held components, such as acidic and neutral pI proteins and water-soluble pectins.
		Thus, cell wall isolation techniques vary depending on whether the carbohydrates or the proteins/active enzymes are the target material.
		Proteins vary in their tenacity of binding to the cell wall and are typically extracted sequentially with 200 mM CaCl2 in the acetate buffer, followed by 3 M LiCl in acetate buffer.

	Postnova - The Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation
		Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation is a technique which is ideally suited for the characterization of polymers, gels and nanoparticles using different organic solvents and to get additional chemical information about the polymers.
		In Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation the separation force is established by applying a temperature gradient.
		The typical temperature difference between the cold and the hot wall used in Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation is ranging between 20 and 100°K. By using temperature gradients a broad molar mass range of polymer samples can be separated in Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation analogue to the use of cross flow gradients in Flow Field-Flow Fractionation systems.
