Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (PHEMA) beads were prepared by phase separation polymerization. Hydroxyl groups on PHEMA beads were activated with CNBr at alkaline pH. Adsorption of heparin, blood proteins (i.e. albumin, fibrinogen and gamma-globulin), protein A, HIgG and DNA on these beads were studied. Preparation and activation procedures are given here. The preliminary results of these studies are also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
