The present invention is directed to novel methods for enhancing the ability to separate a species of interest from other different species present in a free solution mixture thereof which takes advantage of interactions that occur between soluble, small molecular weight ligands and the species of interest. The small molecular weight ligands employed in the present invention function to interact with a species of interest in a mixture of different species through either affinity, hydrophobic and/or ionic interactions, thereby altering the molecular weight, hydrodynamic volume and/or isoelectric point of the species of interest and rendering it separable from other component(s) in the mixture.

The present invention includes a system and method for transferring a selected solute species from a fluid mixture to a fluid media. The system of the present invention includes a convergent channel for passing a fluid mixture containing a selected species tangentially across the first surface of a porous membrane. A fluid media is directed to flow tangentially over the second surface of the membrane. As the fluid mixture and the fluid media flow on opposite sides of the membrane, the selected species traverses the membrane leaving the fluid mixture and entering the fluid media. The volumetric loss to the fluid mixture associated with the loss of the selected species is compensated for by the convergency of the channel. As a result a constant velocity is maintained over the membrane, maximizing the selectivity of the filtration process.

The invention relates to charged filtration membranes and their use for separation of a protein from solvent, low molecular weight solutes or a mixture of proteins. Modification of the membranes to generate charge includes modification of membrane pores to alter charge within a pore and alter the size of a pore. Consequently, the protein is separated from other solutes in a mixture based on size as well as net protein charge and membrane charge.
