Abstract
The present invention relates to crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) with beneficial properties, and to methods for their preparation. The present invention also pertains to membrane microreactors and microfluidic systems containing such membrane microreactors, which are useful in the preparation and in situ immobilization of CLEAs of the present invention.
Claims29
-32. (canceled)
A method for the preparation of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs), the method comprising the steps:
- a) precipitation of at least one enzyme, optionally together with its required co-factor(s), in the presence of a precipitating agent;
- and
- b) reacting the precipitated enzyme(s) with a crosslinking agent to obtain said CLEAs;
- wherein said method is carried out in a microfluidic system, and
- wherein steps a) and b) are not carried out simultaneously.
