Abstract

The preparation, screening, and characterization of affinity membranes require a deep knowledge of the behavior of all components of the affinity material. Several studies report the effect of different spacers in combination with the ligand molecule, but the effect of the spacer arm “per se” is generally disregarded. The effect of the spacer 1,2-diaminoethane on non-specific protein adsorption was recently investigated and the results were compared with the ones obtained with A2P affinity membranes. The results show that this spacer has indeed an important effect and that similar specific studies need to be performed for every spacer molecule.
