Abstract

The ability to predict diffusion coefficients is important in the design, analysis, and operation of plasmid downstream processing operations such as membrane and fixed‐bed chromatography. A correlation is proposed to predict the diffusion coefficient, D, of supercoiled plasmid DNA molecules in dilute solutions on the basis of the molecular weight, M, or size. Experimental data (18 points) collected from the literature confirmed the proposed variation of D with plasmid molecular weight as Dβ€‰βˆβ€‰M^βˆ’2/3^, for molecules within the 1,800–287,100 base‐pair range. The correlation was able to estimate the available experimental results with an average error of 6.3%. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2008; 99; 1040–1044. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New correlations, based on the rough hard-sphere theory and an extensive literature database, were developed for the determination of the binary difision coeficients of liquid and solid solutes in supercritical solvents. The correlations were tested to predict 107 solute-solvent systems with good re
