Chemically modified membranes are meanwhile widely used in bioseparations.<br />

Especially in the downstream processing of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines<br />

the membrane chromatography is established as an important unit operation.<br />

To obtain optimal separation results in specific process steps and to compete<br />

with alternative techniques, intensive further development in optimization of the<br />

membrane properties and extension of available ligands is necessary.<br />

The work has been done by identifying the critical membrane properties for an<br />

optimal fit to the corresponding application and transfer of these results into the<br />

optimal chemical structure.<br />

New Membranes are presented, which fulfil optimal the needs for separation and<br />

purification of biomolecules like monoclonal antibodies or other proteins. The<br />

membrane structures in relation to the separation properties are discussed.<br />

The results are discussed under consideration of the device construction and<br />

process design., because both have substantial influence on the performance of<br />

the whole purification process.<br />

Examples of polishing of monoclonal antibodies solutions, virus removal and<br />

virus harvesting are shown.
