Introduction Human plasma is a complex mixture containing hundreds of proteins, peptides, lipids, sugars, salts etc. A number of plasma proteins like albumin, immunoglobulins, inhibitors and coagulation factors are of therapeutical value ([1], Tab. [1]). Because plasma as a raw material is too valuable to use a given batch for the production of one protein alone, there is a strong impetus to fractionate it. This allows the simultaneous production of multiple products of interest at any one time. Plasma fractionation was pioneered by Cohn and his coworkers in the 1940s and early 1950s [2] [3]. The procedure, whic…
