MATRICES FOR SEPARATION AND SEPARATION EXPLOITING SAID MATRICES

摘要

A matrix comprising a core showing a system of micropores and a surface in which the micropore system has openings. The characterising feature is that the surface is coated with a polymer (I) having such a large molecular weight that it cannot penetrate into the micropores. The matrix can be particulate or in the shape of a monolith. Use of the matrix to separate components in a liquid medium, preferably aqueous, via partition to the matrix. The separation may be based on affinity or on the size and shape of the components. Batchwise as well as chromatographic procedures are comprised.
