Abstract: A method for producing a chromatography medium by: a) exposing a nanoweb sheet having mean flow pore size from 0.1 to 5 ?m and a porosity from 40 to 90 volume % to a gaseous phase comprising a vinyl monomer to produce a functionalized nanoweb sheet; b) layering a plurality of functionalized nanoweb sheets to form a functionalized nanoweb stack; c) cutting the functionalized nanoweb stack with a die to form die-cut functionalized nanoweb stacks having regular shapes; and d) exposing the die-cut functionalized nanoweb stacks in an aqueous medium to a ligand such as a protein which is capable of forming covalent bonds.

Abstract: The present invention provides a positively charged microporous membrane having a protein binding capacity of about 25 mg/ml or greater comprising a hydrophilic porous substrate and a crosslinked coating that provides a fixed positive charge to the membrane.
