Abstract:
Provided is a manufacturing method for monolithic structure that is a porous body formed of polysaccharide being a naturally-occurring polymer, has continuous pores with an average pore diameter suitable for biomolecule separation, and allows formation into arbitrary shape. The polysaccharide monolithic structure is manufactured by a method including a first step of obtaining a polysaccharide solution by dissolving polysaccharide into a mixed solvent of a first component and a second component at temperature lower than a boiling point of the mixed solvent, and a second step of obtaining polysaccharide monolithic structure by cooling the polysaccharide solution, wherein the first component is a solvent selected from lactate, and the second component is a solvent selected from water, lower alcohol, and a combination thereof. The monolithic structure obtained is a porous body having continuous pores with an average pore diameter of 0.01 to 20.0 micrometers, and a thickness of 100 micrometers or more.
Abstract:
A porous particle has a controlled 3D network skeleton and communicating pores that include the voids of the skeleton and penetrate from the particle surface to the inside, a method produces the same, and a filler for chromatography uses the same. The porous particle mainly includes cellulose acetate or cellulose, is spherical, and has a 3D network skeleton and communicating pores that include the voids of the skeleton and penetrate from the particle surface to the inside. The retention time of dextran with a molecular weight of 2 million at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min in a column with an inner diameter of 0.78 cm and a length of 30 cm filled with the porous particles is 20 minutes or more.
Abstract:
An objective of the invention is to provide an excellent biomaterial having a good operability and a high safety; the solution is a polymer having one or more peptide units represented by formula (1) as described below and one or more saccharide residues derived from polysaccharides: -(Pro-Y-Gly)n- (1) wherein, Y represents Pro or Hyp and n is an integer of 1 or more; the invention provides a novel polymer having both various characteristics of a collagen-like polypeptide suitable for a biomaterial, and characteristics of polysaccharides, namely, a high hydrophilicity and enzymolytic degradation, and also having a high mechanical strength and water absorbing properties; furthermore, the water absorbing properties and enzymolysis properties of the resultant polymer can be controlled by changing an amount of charging the peptide oligomer and the polysaccharides in a condensation reaction.
Abstract:
A problem is to provide a monolithic structure that is a porous body formed of a polysaccharide being a naturally-occurring polymer, and has continuous pores having an average pore diameter suitable for biomolecule separation to allow formation into an arbitrary shape, and a manufacturing method therefor. A solution is to manufacture the polysaccharide monolithic structure by a method including a first step for dissolving a polysaccharide into a mixed solvent including a solvent into which the polysaccharide is soluble and a solvent into which the polysaccharide is insoluble, at a temperature lower than a boiling point of the mixed solvent, to give a polysaccharide solution, and a second step for cooling the polysaccharide solution to give the polysaccharide monolithic structure. The polysaccharide monolithic structure obtained is a porous body having continuous pores having an average pore diameter of 0.01 to 20 micrometers and a thickness of 100 micrometers or more.
