PREPARATION OF CELLULOSE ION-EXCHANGE ADSORBENTS AND THEIR BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN ADSORPTION CAPACITY

Abstract

Microcrystalline cellulose powder for column chromatography was treated with N, N′-bis (2-chloroethyl) piperazine or N, N′-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine and epichlorohydrin in the presence of sodium hydroxide solution. Bovine serum albumin adsorption capacity of the products was examined and compared with that of commercially available diethylaminoethyl cellulose.
