COMPOSITE FILTRATION ARTICLE

摘要

A composite filter medium comprising a filter element comprising at least one porous fibrous filtration layer, and at least one layer of a sorbent, stationary phase particulates selected from organic or inorganic particulates having an average diameter of less than 50 micrometers, soft particulates, and ground monolithic particulates. The particulates are capable of binding target molecule by, for example, adsorption, ion exchange, hydrophobic binding, and affinity binding. The particulates provide higher binding capacities than can be achieved using filter media incorporating conventional process scale chromatography resin particulates.
