The invention discloses a separation matrix which comprises a plurality of separation ligands, defined by the formula R1-L1-N(R3)-L2-R, immobilized on a support, wherein R1 is a five- or six-membered, substituted or non-substituted ring structure or a hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl group; L1 is either a methylene group or a covalent bond; R2 is a five- or six-membered, substituted or non-substituted ring structure; L2 is either a methylene group or a covalent bond; R3 is a methyl group; and wherein if R1 is a hydroxyethyl group and L1 is a covalent bond, R2 is a substituted aromatic ring structure or a substituted or non-substituted aliphatic ring structure.
