Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a process for the production of a polysaccharide matrix to which haptens are covalently bound, wherein polysaccharide-containing material is rendered alkaline, dried to a water content of less than 5% and then reacted in an anhydrous medium with a hapten containing at least one activated functional group. The present invention also provides a device for carrying out this process, which comprises a winding core (3) in a container (1) for a reaction solution which has a tube (11), provided on its wall with a plurality of openings (7) and closed on one end (9), for the reception of a winding (13) of the material to be treated and two axial end walls (15, 17) for sealing off the axial ends of the winding (13) and feeds the reaction solution from the container (1) into the other end (21) of the tube (11) by means of a circulating pump cycle (19).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A method for the production of a polysaccharide matrix to which a hapten is covalently bound for use in affinity chromatography or immunoassay comprising rendering a polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix alkaline, drying the polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix to a water content of less than 5%, reacting the dried polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix with an activated hapten comprising at least one activated carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl functional group whereby the hapten is bound to the polysaccharide in an anhydrous organic solvent in a range of polysaccharide:hapten of 10 4 to 0.1:1 to form a polysaccharide matrix so that the hapten retains its activity and is so bound to the matrix that it is not removed in solution or during reaction, and washing the reacted matrix with an organic solvent and an aqueous buffer of pH 6-8.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
138 words
A method for the production of a polysaccharide matrix to which a hapten is covalently bound for use in affinity chromatography or immunoassay comprising rendering a polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix alkaline, drying the polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix to a water content of less than 5%, reacting the dried polysaccharide-containing material of the matrix with an activated hapten comprising at least one activated carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl functional group whereby the hapten is bound to the polysaccharide in an anhydrous organic solvent in a range of polysaccharide:hapten of 10 4 to 0.1:1 to form a polysaccharide matrix so that the hapten retains its activity and is so bound to the matrix that it is not removed in solution or during reaction, and washing the reacted matrix with an organic solvent and an aqueous buffer of pH 6-8.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the polysaccharide-containing material which is rendered alkaline is a cellulose containing material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the cellulose containing material rendered alkaline is cellulose, sulphite wood pulp, viscose stable, cellulose acetate or a mixture thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
