    The phase diagrams of Ucon 50-HB-5100, a non-ionic random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (EOPO) and sodium citrate aqueous two-phase systems were determined at different pHs (5.20 and 8.20) and temperatures (5, 20 and 40潞 C). The binodal curves were determined by refractive index and enzymatic assay of the solution and described using a four-parameter sigmoidal equation, the reliability of the measured tie line compositions was ascertained by correlation equations given by Othmer Tobias and Bancroft. The two-phase area was expanded by increasing both pH and temperature. The partitioning of bovine trypsin and a-chymotrypsin, proteases of similar physico-chemical properties was investigated in order to evaluate the applicability of partitioning as a putative method to isolate from pancreas and to obtain any information about their partitioning mechanism. The effect of different factors such as pH, tie line length and the presence of an inorganic salt on the protein partition coefficient were analyzed.Se caracterizaron las curvas binomiales correspondientes a los sistemas bif谩sicos acuosos formados por Ucon 50-HB-5100, un copol铆mero al azar de 贸xido de etileno y 贸xido de propileno (EOPO) y citrato de sodio a diferentes pHs (5,20 y 8,20) y temperaturas (5, 20 y 40潞 C). Las curvas binomiales se obtuvieron por determinaci贸n del 铆ndice de refracci贸n y ensayos enzim谩ticos de las soluciones correspondientes; las composiciones de las l铆neas de uni贸n se corroboraron por las ecuaciones propuestas por Othmer Tobias y Bancroft. El aumento del pH y la temperatura condujeron a un aumento del 谩rea bif谩sica. Tambi茅n se ensay贸 el comportamiento de reparto de dos proteasas tripsina y 伪-quimotripsina con el objetivo de emplear los principios de partici贸n como m茅todo de aislamiento y purificaci贸n de Tripsina a partir de p谩ncreas bovino y de obtener informaci贸n acerca del mecanismo de partici贸n de la misma. Se analiz贸 el efecto del pH, longitud de la l铆nea de uni贸n y presencia de sales inorg谩nicas sobre el coeficiente de partici贸n de las enzimas
