SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOSPECIFIC ADSORBENTS CONTAINING GLUCOSE, USABLE TO RETAIN CONCANAVALIN-A

The synthesis and characterization of -hydroxyethylmethacrylate-epichl orhydrin-D-gluose) (PB-HEMA-ECH-D-Glu) and hydroxyethylmethacrylate-ep ichlorhydrin-L-glucose) (PB-HEMA-ECH-L-Glu) hydrogels are presented. T he applicability of these products was studied in order to establish t heir stereospecific capacity in the retention of concanavalin A.
