Claims15
A separation matrix comprising polysaccharide gel beads, wherein said polysaccharide gel beads comprise embedded fibers, wherein the embedded fibers comprise microfibrillated cellulose, and wherein the embedded fibers are chemically cross-linked to the polysaccharide wherein the polysaccharide gel beads comprise agarose or agar.
A method for preparing a separation matrix, which method comprises the steps of
- a. mixing an aqueous solution of at least one gellable polysaccharide with fibers, wherein the fibers comprises microfibrillated cellulose;
- b. forming gel beads of said aqueous solution;
- c. cross-linking said gellable polysaccharide with said fibers to embed the fibers in the gel beads.
