ABSTRACT:
Semipermeable microcapsules are employed as a medium to chromatographically separate mixtures of solutes. The microcapsules comprise membranes having a selected upper limit of permeability and contain a filler material capable of maintaining the membranes in a distended position. In use, the capsules are packed in a column and equilibrated with the solvent of the mixture to be separated. Components in the mixture are separated when passed through the column on the basis of their molecular diameter. The material is well suited for resolving components of a mixture of solutes in the 100-5000 molecular weight range.
In another embodiment, a specific binding substance such as an antibody is confined within capsule membranes permeable to the antibody's complementary antigen to produce a material useful in affinity chromatography.
