摘要:
A method for producing a generally cylindrical filter medium and a filter element employing said medium is provided, where the filter medium is pleated and comprises a multi-layered structure of overlapping layers of membrane material. The filter element is particularly suited for separating immunoglobulin from a fluid, where the filter medium is first treated with an activating agent to from activated sites on the membrane surface. The thus treated membrane is then again treated with a protein, specific to a certain immunoglobulin. The fluid containing the immunoglobulin to be separated is then passed through the filter medium, whereby the immunoglobulin is separated cleanly at the activated sites.
