Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a high performance affinity chromatographic system characterized by an immobilized active substance interacting weakly (K diss >10 -3 M) with the desired structure of the type or types of molecule to be separated. The substance is covalently bound in its active state on a carrier of a solid, preferably porous, organic or inorganic material thereby making it suitable for use in the so-called HPLC or HPLAC technique for the separation of e.g. biomolecules. Examples of useful inorganic materials are silica or glass, or organic materials such as plastics or polysaccharides. Separation takes place by the mobile liquid being led through the column packed with the immobilized active substance of weak affinity for the complementary substances. Examples of such immobilized ligands are antibodies or fragments thereof, antigens or fragments thereof and various receptor substances.
