TL;DR: Supermacroporous monolithic acrylamide (AAm)-based cryogels were prepared by radical cryo-polymerizaton (polymerization in the moderately frozen system) of AAm with functional monomers and cross-linker N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamides with pore size of 5-100 microm and total protein binding capacity was independent of the flow rates.

TL;DR: Column-to-column reproducibility of pAAm-monoliths was demonstrated on 5 monolithic columns from different batches prepared under the same cryostructuration conditions, and high mechanical stability of the monoliths allowed sterilization by autoclaving.

TL;DR: Straw was evaluated as a biofilm carrier in the methanogenic stage of the two-stage anaerobic digestion of crop residues and it was found that straw would work very well in the intended application.

TL;DR: A simplified approach with data from a single column experiment was used and the outcome is a 48% raise in productivity, a 4.3 times decrease in buffer consumption, and a 6.5 times raise in target protein concentration with a raw material utilization which is slightly better for the SMB process.

TL;DR: The high porosity, selectivity and reasonably good binding capacity of Cu(II)-IDA-polyacrylamide cryogel column make it a promising option for use as a protein capture column in integrated perfusion/separation processes.
