Description

A crude antimicrobial peptide separation and purification device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical manufacturing technology, specifically to an antimicrobial peptide crude liquid separation and purification device. Background Technology

[0002] Antimicrobial peptides are a class of small molecule polypeptides widely found in organisms and are key components of the innate immune system. They possess advantages such as broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, low susceptibility to drug resistance, and good thermal stability, making them highly promising for applications in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing field. The separation and purification of crude antimicrobial peptides is a core step in obtaining high-purity, high-activity antimicrobial peptides in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This requires considering the physicochemical properties of antimicrobial peptides, such as their cationicity, amphiphilicity, and molecular weight differences, and following the principle of "first crude enrichment, then fine purification, maintaining activity throughout the process." During the separation and purification of crude antimicrobial peptides, storage tanks are generally used for storage. The core logic of the separation and purification steps is "pretreatment for impurity removal → crude enrichment → fine purification → post-treatment identification." Filtration is generally performed using ultrafiltration membranes.

[0003] Currently, the separation and purification of crude antimicrobial peptides in biopharmaceutical manufacturing typically involves adding the crude liquid to a storage tank. A filter membrane is installed at the bottom of the tank to precipitate and filter impurities. The supernatant on top of the tank is drawn off by an extraction pipe, while the lower layer is filtered and discharged. The separation and purification device for crude antimicrobial peptides can be referenced from the existing patent publication number CN113527413B. However, this device only uses a filter membrane at the bottom of the storage tank to filter impurities. No pretreatment component for impurities is installed at the crude liquid inlet pipe. Therefore, after the crude liquid enters the filter membrane at the bottom of the storage tank, impurities are easily introduced into the feed. Accumulation at the pipe accelerates the clogging of the ultrafiltration membrane, reduces the discharge rate of coarse liquid, and affects the discharge of treated liquid. The ultrafiltration membrane, located at the bottom of the storage tank and horizontally installed on the feed pipe, continuously accumulates impurities on its surface as the filtration process progresses. Without disassembling the ultrafiltration membrane, it is difficult to quickly clean these impurities, leading to a significant decrease in the filtration efficiency of the ultrafiltration membrane. When treating the coarse antimicrobial peptide solution for precipitation, the supernatant needs to be extracted and separated. The extraction tube is fixed to the top of the storage tank with screws, making it difficult to raise and lower the tube and accurately adjust the extraction height according to the real-time liquid level of the supernatant, ultimately affecting the extraction accuracy of the supernatant.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The antimicrobial peptide crude liquid separation and purification device of this invention has a pretreatment mechanism installed on the top cover. When the feeding mechanism adds the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid into the storage tank, the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid first passes through the inside of the filter tank. The filter tank is equipped with a filter tank and a washing tank. The antimicrobial peptide crude liquid is transported to the inside of the filter tank, where impurities in the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid are pretreated by the filter plate, avoiding blockage at the bottom of the storage tank by coarser impurities, extending the clogging time of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane at the bottom of the storage tank, and improving the filtration effect. When there are many impurities on the surface of the filter plate, it can... Activate the two drive units, and their telescopic ends extend to push the slide bar. At this time, the conveying pipe moves out from above the filter tank. As the slide bar moves, the two racks mesh with the two gears, and the racks drive the gears to rotate counterclockwise. This further rotates the filter plate from the filter tank into the cleaning tank, which is filled with clean water. The drive units reciprocate to move the filter plate up and down, facilitating the cleaning of the filter plate with clean water and the filtration of impurities in the coarse liquid. After cleaning, the slide bar is retracted and reset by the drive units, and the conveying pipe returns to the top of the filter tank, and the filter plate returns to the inside of the filter tank.

[0016] 2. The antimicrobial peptide crude liquid separation and purification device of the present invention has an ultrafiltration mechanism installed at the bottom of the storage tank. After the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid settles inside the storage tank, larger impurities are adsorbed and filtered by the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane inside the filter box. The processed antimicrobial peptide crude liquid is discharged from the discharge pipe to the next processing stage. When the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane inside the fixed frame needs to be cleaned, the upper valve on the feed pipe and the lower valve on the discharge pipe can be closed, and the control valve on the water inlet pipe can be opened. Clean water is flushed into the interior of the filter box from the water inlet pipe and rinsed from the bottom to the top of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane. The sealing plug on the return pipe is opened to flush out the cleaned impurities without disassembling the fixed frame for cleaning, thereby improving the filtration effect of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane on the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid.

[0017] 3. The antimicrobial peptide crude liquid separation and purification device of the present invention has an extraction mechanism installed on the top cover. When extracting the supernatant inside the storage tank, two driving blocks can slide in opposite directions to allow two insert plates to slide out from the slots on the side wall of the extraction tube. At this time, the extraction tube can be raised and lowered on the top cover. After adjusting the extraction tube to a suitable position, the two driving blocks are released, and the two insert plates are reset by springs. The two insert plates are inserted into the corresponding slots on the extraction tube, realizing the adjustment and fixation of the extraction tube, which is conducive to the precise extraction of the supernatant according to the stratification position of the supernatant.

The pretreatment mechanism 2 includes a second support 210, which is installed on the top cover 4. A filter tank 202 is installed on the second support 210. The filter tank 202 contains a filter tank 204 and a washing tank 207. A drain outlet 208 is opened at the bottom of the washing tank 207. A drain pipe 209 is installed at the bottom of the filter tank 202. A filter plate 205 is rotatably connected to the filter tank 202, extending into the interior of the filter trough 204. A gear 206 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the filter plate 205. A slide bar 214 is slidably connected to the side wall of the filter tank 202, and a rack 212 is installed on the slide bar 214. There is a horizontal distance between the rack 212 and the gear 206. A drive component 213 is installed on the side wall of the filter tank 202, and the telescopic end of the drive component 213 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 214. An inlet pipe 203 is installed at the bottom of the filter trough 204, penetrating the top cover 4 and extending into the interior of the storage tank 1. The pretreatment mechanism 2 also includes a support bracket 201, which is installed between the bottom of the filter tank 202 and the storage tank 1. The support bracket 201 is inclined. The bottom of the filter tank 204 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 207 are both inclined away from each other. The filter plate 205 is parallel to the bottom of the filter tank 204. There are two gears 206, which are symmetrically arranged about the center of the filter plate 205. Sliding strips 214 are slidably connected to both sides of the filter tank 202. The ends of the two sliding strips 214 are I-shaped. Driving components 213 are installed on both sides of the filter tank 202. The telescopic ends of the two driving components 213 are respectively connected to the two sliding strips 214. The filter plate 205 is fixedly connected to the filter tank 204 and the cleaning tank 207. The filter tank 204 and the cleaning tank 207 are fixedly connected to the filter tank 205. The feed mechanism 7 includes a fixed frame 701. The fixed frame 701 is fixedly connected between the two slide bars 214. The fixed frame 702 is installed on the fixed frame 701. The feed pipe 702 extends to the top of the filter plate 205. The distance between the feed pipe 702 and the right side of the filter tank 202 is less than the distance between the gear 206 and the rack 212. The heat exchange mechanism 3 includes a jacket 302. The side wall of the storage tank 1 is provided with a jacket 302. The heat exchange pipe 301 is installed inside the jacket 302.The delivery pipe 702 is connected to the pipeline for conveying the crude liquid via a flexible connecting pipe. Antimicrobial peptide crude liquid is added to the storage tank 1 through the delivery pipe 702. Before entering the storage tank 1, the crude antimicrobial peptide liquid undergoes preliminary filtration by the filter plate 205 inside the filter tank 202, pre-treating impurities in the crude antimicrobial peptide liquid. Impurities in the crude liquid are intercepted by the filter plate 205, achieving preliminary pre-treatment. This step effectively prevents coarser impurities from entering the bottom of the storage tank 1, preventing blockage in subsequent processes, extending the service life of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 at the bottom of the storage tank 1, and improving the overall filtration effect. After pre-treatment, the impurities in the crude antimicrobial peptide liquid are discharged from the filter tank 204 into the inlet pipe 203, and finally flow from the inlet pipe 203 into the storage tank 1. When cleaning the filter plate 205 is required, both drives are activated simultaneously. Part 213, the driving part 213 is a cylinder. The telescopic end of the driving part 213 extends, pushing the slide bar 214 to move. At this time, the conveying pipe 702 moves out from above the filter tank 204. As the slide bar 214 moves, the rack 212 meshes with the gear 206, driving the gear 206 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the filter plate 205 to rotate from the filter tank 204 into the cleaning tank 207. The cleaning tank 207 is filled with clean water. The driving part 213 reciprocates, driving the filter plate 205 to move up and down, so that the clean water can fully rinse the filter plate 205 and remove surface impurities. After cleaning, the driving part 213 retracts and resets, the slide bar 214 returns to its initial position, the conveying pipe 702 returns to above the filter tank 204, and the filter plate 205 also returns to the filter tank 204 to continue the filtration work. After preliminary treatment, the crude antimicrobial peptide solution enters the storage tank 1 for sedimentation and ultrafiltration treatment.

[0023] Specifically, referring to Figures 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8, the ultrafiltration mechanism 5 includes a feed pipe 501, which is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1. A filter box 502 is installed at the bottom of the feed pipe 501, and a discharge pipe 503 is connected to the bottom of the filter box 502. A fixing frame 511 is obliquely inserted into the filter box 502, and a polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 is installed on the fixing frame 511. A sealing gasket 504 that abuts against the fixing frame 511 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter box 502 by screws. The ultrafiltration mechanism 5 also includes an upper valve 505 and a lower valve. 506. An upper valve 505 is installed on the feed pipe 501, and a lower valve 506 is installed on the discharge pipe 503. An inlet pipe 509 is installed at an angle on the side wall of the filter box 502. The inlet pipe 509 is located at the bottom of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512, and a control valve 510 is installed on the inlet pipe 509. A backflush pipe 507 is installed at an angle on the side wall of the feed pipe 501. A sealing plug 508 is threaded onto the backflush pipe 507. The backflush pipe 507 is located above the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512, and the inclination direction of the backflush pipe 507 is opposite to that of the inlet pipe 509. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a pre-treated section.) After the crude antimicrobial peptide solution enters storage tank 1, it undergoes sedimentation. During this process, larger particles of impurities gradually settle to the bottom of storage tank 1. After sedimentation for a period of time, the upper valve 505 on the feed pipe 501 is opened, and the crude solution at the bottom of storage tank 1 flows into the filter box 502. The polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 in the filter box 502 adsorbs and filters the crude solution, intercepting larger impurities on the surface of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512. The treated crude antimicrobial peptide solution is discharged from the discharge pipe 503 and enters the next processing stage. When the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 in the fixed frame 511... When cleaning is required, close the upper valve 505 on the feed pipe 501 and the lower valve 506 on the discharge pipe 503, and open the control valve 510 on the water inlet pipe 509. Clean water is flushed into the filter box 502 from the water inlet pipe 509 and rinsed upward from the bottom of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 to remove impurities from the surface of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512. At the same time, open the sealing plug 508 on the return pipe 507 so that the flushed impurities are discharged from the return pipe 507 with the water flow. The cleaning can be completed without disassembling the fixing frame 511, which effectively improves the filtration effect of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512.

[0024] Specifically, referring to Figures 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11, the extraction mechanism 6 includes an extraction tube 601. An extraction tube 601 extending into the storage tank 1 is slidably connected to the top cover 4. A flexible tube 602 is connected to the extraction tube 601. A mounting plate 611 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the extraction tube 601. Multiple filter membranes 612 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 611. Fixing rods 604 are inserted into the filter membranes 612 and the mounting plate 611. Nuts that abut against the filter membranes 612 are threaded onto the fixing rods 604. The extraction tube 601 has opposite openings... The device has two mounting slots 610, each with a crossbeam 603 fixedly connected to it by screws. A fixing rod 604 passes through the crossbeam 603, and a nut is threaded onto the fixing rod 604 at the top of the crossbeam 603. Two drive blocks 605 are symmetrically slidably connected to the top cover 4 about the extraction tube 601. Insert plates 606 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two drive blocks 605, and are slidably connected to the top cover 4. Slide rods 608 are fixedly connected to the back of each drive block 605, and each slide rod 608 is equipped with a spring 609. The extraction tube 601 has multiple slots 607 axially oppositely formed on its side wall, and insert plates 606 are inserted into the slots 607. During the sedimentation of the antimicrobial peptide crude liquid, the liquid in the storage tank 1 will separate into layers, with the upper layer being the supernatant. When it is necessary to extract the supernatant, two driving blocks 605 on the opposite sliding top cover 4 are used to slide the two insert plates 606 out of the slots 607 on the side wall of the extraction tube 601. At this time, the extraction tube 601 can be raised and lowered on the top cover 4. According to the separation position of the supernatant, the extraction tube 601 can be adjusted to a suitable height. After completion, release the two drive blocks 605, and the two insert plates 606 will reset under the action of the spring 609 and be inserted into the corresponding slots 607 on the extraction tube 601 to fix the extraction tube 601. Finally, connect the relevant equipment through the extraction tube 601 to accurately extract the supernatant according to the stratification position. During the extraction process, impurities in the supernatant are filtered and intercepted by the filter membrane 612 to ensure the purity of the supernatant. When replacing the filter membrane 612, remove the crossbeam 603 to take out the fixing rod 604 and replace the filter membrane 612.

[0025] In use, this invention first connects the delivery pipe 702 to the pipeline for delivering the crude liquid via a flexible connecting pipe. The crude antimicrobial peptide liquid is then added to the storage tank 1 through the delivery pipe 702. Before entering the storage tank 1, the crude antimicrobial peptide liquid undergoes preliminary filtration by the filter plate 205 inside the filter tank 202, pre-treating impurities in the liquid. The impurities are intercepted by the filter plate 205, achieving preliminary pre-treatment. This step effectively prevents coarser impurities from entering the bottom of the storage tank 1, preventing blockage in subsequent processes, extending the service life of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 at the bottom of the storage tank 1, and improving the overall filtration effect. After pre-treatment, the impurities in the crude antimicrobial peptide liquid are discharged from the filter tank 204 into the inlet. Inside the liquid pipe 203, the liquid eventually flows from the inlet pipe 203 into the storage tank 1. When the filter plate 205 needs to be cleaned, two drive components 213 are activated simultaneously. The drive components 213 are cylinders. The telescopic ends of the drive components 213 extend, pushing the slide bar 214 to move. At this time, the delivery pipe 702 moves out from above the filter tank 204. As the slide bar 214 moves, the rack 212 meshes with the gear 206, driving the gear 206 to rotate counterclockwise. This causes the filter plate 205 to rotate from the filter tank 204 into the cleaning tank 207. The cleaning tank 207 is filled with clean water. The drive components 213 reciprocate, moving the filter plate 205 up and down, allowing the clean water to thoroughly rinse the filter plate 205 and remove surface impurities. After cleaning is completed... The drive unit 213 retracts and resets, the slide bar 214 returns to its initial position, the conveying pipe 702 returns to above the filter tank 204, and the filter plate 205 also returns to the filter tank 204 to continue the filtration process. After preliminary treatment, the crude antimicrobial peptide solution enters the storage tank 1 for sedimentation and ultrafiltration. Then, after the pretreated crude antimicrobial peptide solution enters the storage tank 1, it undergoes sedimentation. During this process, larger particles of impurities gradually settle to the bottom of the storage tank 1. After sedimentation for a period of time, the upper valve 505 on the feed pipe 501 is opened, and the crude solution at the bottom of the storage tank 1 flows into the filter box 502. The polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 in the filter box 502 adsorbs and filters the crude solution, intercepting larger impurities in the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane. On the surface of the filter membrane 512, the treated crude antimicrobial peptide solution is discharged from the discharge pipe 503 and enters the next processing stage. When the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 in the fixed frame 511 needs to be cleaned, the upper valve 505 on the feed pipe 501 and the lower valve 506 on the discharge pipe 503 are closed, and the control valve 510 on the water inlet pipe 509 is opened. Clean water is flushed into the filter box 502 from the water inlet pipe 509 and rinsed from the bottom of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512 upwards to remove impurities from the surface of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512. At the same time, the sealing plug 508 on the return pipe 507 is opened so that the flushed impurities are discharged from the return pipe 507 with the water flow. The cleaning can be completed without disassembling the fixed frame 511, which effectively improves the filtration effect of the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane 512.Finally, during the sedimentation of the crude antimicrobial peptide solution, the liquid in storage tank 1 will exhibit stratification, with the upper layer being the supernatant. When it is necessary to extract the supernatant, the two driving blocks 605 on the opposing sliding top cover 4 will slide the two insert plates 606 out of the slots 607 on the side wall of the extraction tube 601. At this time, the extraction tube 601 can be raised and lowered on the top cover 4. According to the stratification position of the supernatant, the extraction tube 601 is adjusted to a suitable height.
