20140273158 | Chromatography Membranes Stable Under Caustic Conditions - Disclosed are composite materials and methods of using them for chromatography. The composite materials retain their performance characteristics, such as binding capacity, flux, or percent recovery, under caustic conditions (e.g., 1 M NaOH for 24 h). In certain embodiments, the composite materials or membranes comprise a support member, comprising a plurality of pores extending through the support member; and a cross-linked gel. Importantly, the cross-linker and the monomer do not contain backbone ester linkages. The composite materials may be used in the separation or purification of a biological molecule or biological ion. | 09-18-2014 |
20140238935 | Mixed-Mode Chromatography Membranes - Described are composite materials and methods of using them for mixed-mode chromatography. In certain embodiments, the composite material comprises a support member, comprising a plurality of pores extending through the support member; and a multi-functional cross-linked gel. The multi-functional cross-linked gel possesses at least two of the following functions or characteristics: cationic, anionic, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, thiophilic, hydrogen bond donating, hydrogen bond accepting, pi-pi bond donating, pi-pi bond accepting, or metal chelating. The composite materials may be used in the separation or purification of a biological molecule or biological ion. | 08-28-2014 |
20130189322 | Chromatographic Media for Storage and Delivery of Therapeutic Biologics and Small Molecules - Described are composite materials and methods of making and using them for the storage and delivery of unstable drugs or biologics. In certain embodiments, the composite material comprises a support member, comprising a plurality of pores extending through the support member; a macroporous cross-linked gel, comprising a plurality of macropores; a therapeutic agent; and a stabilizing agent. | 07-25-2013 |
20120298582 | Layered Tubular Membranes for Chromatography, and Methods of Use Thereof - Described are wrapped fluid treatment elements, comprising: a composite material; an interleaf; and an inner core; wherein the composite material and the interleaf form layers wrapped around the inner core. The composite material and interleaf may be wrapped in a spiral configuration around the inner core. The invention also relates to a method of separating a substance from a fluid, comprising the step of placing the fluid in contact with an inventive device or element, thereby adsorbing or absorbing the substance to the composite material contained therein. | 11-29-2012 |
20110253616 | Membrane Stacks - The present invention discloses a membrane stack comprising a first and second membrane layers, and a spacer layer disposed between said first and second membrane layers, said membrane stack configured such that fluid passes through said membrane stack in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of said membrane layers and said spacer layer. The application also discloses a module comprising a membrane as described above, said module having a fluid flow path that is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the major surface of the membrane and spacer layers ins aid membrane stack. | 10-20-2011 |
20100059443 | Chromatography Membranes, Devices Containing Them, and Methods of Use Thereof - Described herein are fluid treatment devices for use in tangential flow filtration, comprising a housing unit and a composite material, wherein the composite material comprises: a support member comprising a plurality of pores extending through the support member; and a non-self-supporting macroporous cross-linked gel comprising macropores having an average size of 10 nm to 3000 nm, said macroporous gel being located in the pores of the support member. The invention also relates to a method of separating a substance from a fluid, comprising the step of placing the fluid in contact with an inventive device, thereby adsorbing or absorbing the substance to the composite material contained therein. | 03-11-2010 |
20090008328 | Composite Materials Comprising Supported Porous Gels - This invention relates to a composite material that comprises a support member that has a plurality of pores extending through the support member and, located in the pores of the support member, and filling the pores of the support member, a macroporous cross-linked gel. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the composite material described above, and to its use. The composite material is suitable, for example, for separation of substances, for example by filtration or adsorption, including chromatography, for use as a support in synthesis or for use as a support for cell growth. | 01-08-2009 |
