Abstract

We have described a preparation scheme for immobilizing polymer chains at a uniformly high density onto a microfiltration membrane. Highly efficient protein recovery was demonstrated by the results of the determination of breakthrough and elution curves. The three requirements of high rate, high capacity, and repeated use for the protein recovery were satisfied by ensuring the occurrence of convection, multilayer binding, and hydrophilization, respectively. In addition, easy scale-up to fabrication of a membrane module was verified on a small scale.
