Isoelectric Characterization of Clostridium Botulinum Type C Toxin

Abstract

The physico-chemical laws controlling natural pH gradients that have been developed by stationary electrolysis have been described in earlier papers by Svensson (2, 3). As demonstrated by Svensson (4) the resolving power attained by this method is better than 0.2 pH unit. In a later paper (5) the same author described the use of synthetic carrier ampholytes, and it was shown that a still better resolving power could be produced.
