Abstract: A novel procedure for the extraction of lysozyme from egg-white using carbon nanotubes as a sorbent was developed. Carbon nanotubes after oxidation and purification were used to pack a micro-column which was incorporated into a sequential injection system for facilitating online selective sorption of lysozyme from egg-white. The retained protein was afterwards quantitatively eluted by a carbonate buffer. With a sample loading volume of 2.0 mL, an enrichment factor of 12 was obtained, along with a retention efficiency of 100% and a recovery rate of 100%. A sampling frequency of 10 h-1 was achieved along with a precision of 3.0% RSD. Lysozyme of 0.4 g could be extracted from 100 mL egg-white. SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the purity of the obtained lysozyme was as high as that of pure reagent.
