Virus Filtration Membranes from Nanoporous Block Copolymers

Posted on May 23, 2008

Nanowerk's Michael Berger is running a report about work being conducted by Dr. Jin Kon Kim and colleagues at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pohang University of Science Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea, who are developing nanotechnology-based virus filtration membranes.A snippet from the report:Separation and purification of bio-molecules such as proteins and viruses are important processes in the biotechnology industry. The risk of contamination with either known or unknown viruses in biological or therapeutic products require production processes that - ideally - completely el...
