Separation methods by which biological materials may be isolated with great sensitivity and in large scale, while remaining in a nondenaturing environment, are of substantial interest in a variety of scientific disciplines. Consequently the technique of partitioning in two-phase aqueous polymer systems is frequently the method of choice for both research and commercial purifications of proteins, nucleic acids, and cells. The great potential of the method and interest in it is revealed by the publication in recent years of three books and hundreds of papers on partitioning and by the commercial, large-scale application of partitioning by several major companies in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. As a result of the rapidly expanding development of partitioning techniques, international conferences have been held biannually since 1979. The 7th International Conference on Partitioning in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems will be held in New Orleans, June 2- 7, 1991. This is the first time in over a decade for the meeting to be held in the United States and it is expected to attract a group of leading scientists of varied disciplines and backgrounds. The Conference participants are typically involved in a variety of biotechnical separation in addition to partitioning, and as a consequence the Conference includes sessions on: novel and competing separation technologies, gravitational effects on separation and related processes, biotechnical applications of PEG chemistry, and polymer- protein and polymer-surface chemistry. The grant is used for partial support of travel, registration, and per diem. At least two other federal agencies (NASA and ONR) and several industrial companies also partial support of this conference.

可以以高灵敏度和大规模分离生物材料同时保持在非变性环境中的分离方法引起了各种科学学科的极大兴趣。 因此，两相水性聚合物系统中的分配技术通常是蛋白质、核酸和细胞的研究和商业纯化的首选方法。 近年来关于分区的三本书和数百篇论文的出版，以及美国、欧洲和日本的几家大公司对分区的商业大规模应用，揭示了该方法的巨大潜力和人们对它的兴趣。 由于分配技术的迅速发展，自1979年以来，国际会议每两年举行一次。第七届水两相体系分配国际会议将于1991年6月2日至7日在新奥尔良举行。这是该会议十多年来首次在美国举行，预计将吸引一批不同学科和背景的顶尖科学家。 除了分配之外，会议参与者通常还涉及各种生物技术分离，因此会议包括以下会议：新颖的竞争性分离技术、重力对分离和相关过程的影响、PEG 化学的生物技术应用以及聚合物-蛋白质和聚合物-表面化学。 这笔补助金用于部分旅行、登记和每日津贴。 至少另外两个联邦机构（NASA 和 ONR）和几家工业公司也部分支持这次会议。
