A Modified Chitosan Adsorbent for Selective Removal of Low Density Lipoprotein

摘要

A modified chitosan adsorbent was synthesized through a simple preparation procedure, and it demonstrated good adsorption performance for selective removal of low density lipoprotein in human plasma. Phase inversion technique was employed to form chitosan beads, to which epoxy groups were then introduced by reacting with ethyleneglycol diglycidylether, and tryptophan was subsequently coupled to the epoxy-activated beads.
