A patent application (Publication Number: US20240033711A1) describes a novel chromatographic material for use in separation processes. The material consists of a polymer network-based self-supporting bi-continuous separation matrix with a first continuous phase formed by a self-gelled polysaccharide and a second continuous phase defining non-cylindrical large diameter continuously connected convective pores. The material may also include a third inert phase that does not constitute the structure of the second continuous phase. The unique design of the material allows for efficient separation processes with specific characteristics such as median pore diameter, convective porosity, permeability, and coefficient of variance.

The patent application further details a method for producing the chromatographic material, involving the preparation of solutions containing self-gelling polysaccharides, surfactants, and solvents, followed by emulsification and gelation processes. Specific polysaccharides like agarose are highlighted for their use in the method, along with the importance of surfactant selection and solvent properties. The method aims to create a chromatographic material with precise characteristics by controlling factors such as temperature, concentration, and volume ratios during the production process. Overall, the patent application presents a comprehensive approach to developing a unique chromatographic material and method that could potentially enhance separation processes in various industries.
