  • Publication number: 20250249433
    Abstract: The invention discloses method for manufacturing agar or agarose beads, comprising the steps of: a) providing a water phase comprising an aqueous solution of agar or agarose at a temperature of 40-100° C.; b) providing an oil phase comprising a water-immiscible solvent and an emulsifier at a temperature of 40-100° C.; c) emulsifying the water phase in the oil phase to form a water-in-oil emulsion; d) cooling the water-in-oil emulsion to a temperature below a gelation temperature of the agar or agarose to form a dispersion of solidified agar or agarose beads; and e) recovering agar or agarose beads from the dispersion, wherein the emulsifier comprises a phosphate ester of an alkoxylated fatty alcohol.

  • Patent number: 8496123
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making porous cross-linked cellulose membranes and processes for coupling a chromatography ligand to cross-linked cellulose membranes. The invention provides methods for separating a first component from a second component in a solution based upon a difference in the size of the first and second components, and methods for separating target molecules from other components in a solution comprising use of membranes obtainable by the process of the invention. The method has particular utility in separating proteins from cell lysates and cultures.

  • Patent number: 8309709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing an insoluble separation matrix, which method comprises salt-treatment of a polysaccharide gel followed by cross-linking of the polysaccharide polymers. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing an aqueous solution of a gelatable native polysaccharide; lowering the temperature of the polysaccharide solution to a value below its gelling point; salt-treatment by adding at least one salt to the resulting polysaccharide; and cross-linking the salt-treated polysaccharide. The polysaccharide may be prepared e.g. into particles, membranes or monoliths.

  • Patent number: 7396467
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a porous cross-linked polysaccharide chromatography matrix, which comprises to provide an aqueous solution of a gellable polysaccharide, wherein part of the hydroxyl groups are substituted with groups which are not susceptible to nucleophilic attack; to provide essentially spherical droplets of the substituted polysaccharide solution; to form a gel of the substituted polysaccharide solution; and to cross-link the gel by adding a cross-linking agent. The invention also encompasses a chromatography column packed with a matrix so produced as well as use thereof in e.g. protein purification.
