Abstract

Abstract Adsorbents are provided for the affinity-specific separation of macromolecular materials, particularly biopolymers, the adsorbents comprising a polymeric carrier on to which an affine residue for the macromolecular material is covalently bound, either directly or via polymeric spacer. Preferred affine residue is comprised of a specific complex formers which are base-specific and/or structure specific for the macromolecular material. The invention also provides novel complex formers comprising a certain dyestuff residues and processes for their preparation.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
Process for the preparation of an adsorbent for the affinity-specific separation of nucleic acids, comprising a polymeric carrier material onto which an affine residue group consisting of a base and/or structure specific complex former for nucleic acids, is covalently bound wherein said polymeric carrier material is first formed from at least one monomer which additionally possesses a functional group via which the affine residue for the biopolymer can be bound directly or via a polymeric spacer, the polymeric carrier material is optionally comminuted to the desired particle size and then the affine residue for the biopolymer is grafted on either directly or by copolymerization in the presence of at least one further monomer as co-monomer so that particles of the desired size are produced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 124 words
Process for the preparation of an adsorbent for the affinity-specific separation of nucleic acids, comprising a polymeric carrier material onto which an affine residue group consisting of a base and/or structure specific complex former for nucleic acids, is covalently bound wherein said polymeric carrier material is first formed from at least one monomer which additionally possesses a functional group via which the affine residue for the biopolymer can be bound directly or via a polymeric spacer, the polymeric carrier material is optionally comminuted to the desired particle size and then the affine residue for the biopolymer is grafted on either directly or by copolymerization in the presence of at least one further monomer as co-monomer so that particles of the desired size are produced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the affine residue for the biopolymer having a copolymerizable double bound is grafted on to poly-bisacrylamide in the presence of an excess of a further copolymerizable monomer as co-monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the graft copolymerization is carried out in water or in an inert solvent in the presence of a conventional polymerization catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim 30 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic-phenyl neutral red or acrylic-malachite green with a degree of polymerization of 200 to 300 is grafted on.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 33 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the affine residue for the biopolymer having a copolymerizable double bond and the further copolymerizable monomer are used in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 1:5000.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 14 words
Process as claimed in claim 6 wherein the said weight ratio is preferably 1:3000.
