ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for physically separating polypeptide constituents of a sample fluid by (a) providing a sample fluid comprising a mixture of polypeptides of differing physical and/or chemical properties; (b) contacting the fluid with at least two individual polymer matrix units, each polymer matrix unit preferentially accepting a different set of polypeptides on the basis of one or more physical and/or chemical properties; and (c) extracting the set of polypeptides from each polymer matrix unit.
