The current fractionators have evolved their processes from the original Cohn process developed by Dr Edwin J Cohn, first used to treat US service men attacked in December 1941 at Pearl Harbor. While improvements have been made the backbone of this process has remained the same over the ensuring 75 years.
Aegros’ process connects to the front and back end of the Cohn process replacing the multiple capture steps with a single ElectroSeparation step. This increases overall process yield, reduces process time, steps and cost making plasma fractionation viable at the 50,000L level.
