A chromatographic media for separating bio-polymers, the chromatographic media having cationic exchange properties and anionic exchange properties, the chromatographic media comprising: (a) non-porous substrate particles including an organic polymer, the substrate particles having a neutral hydrophilic layer at a surface of the non-porous substrate particles, in which the neutral hydrophilic layer is configured to reduce a binding of the bio-polymers directly to the non-porous substrate particles compared to a binding of the bio-polymer to the non-porous substrate particles without the neutral hydrophilic layer; (b) a charged first ion exchange layer bound to the substrate particles on top of the hydrophilic layer, the first ion exchange layer comprising first ion exchange groups; and (c) a charged second ion exchange layer bound to the substrate particles on top of the first ion exchange layer.

A disposable, virus-trapping membrane, and a corresponding method to remove viruses from solution are described. The membrane includes a disposable, micro-porous filter membrane and a ligand immobilized on the membrane. The ligand irreversibly and selectively binds viruses. The ligand also has a pKa sufficiently high to repel antibodies via electrostatic charge repulsion.

The invention concerns polymer systems comprising at least one polymer with a plurality of pores where the polymer is initially functionalized on substantially all surfaces followed by a stepwise surface specific functionalization such that a different functional group resides on the external or internal pore surface of the bead. The invention also concerns use of such polymer systems in blood, blood product, or physiologic fluid purification.

In one aspect, the present invention provides a chromatographic stationary phase material for various different modes of chromatography represented by Formula 1: [X](W).sub.a(Q).sub.b(T).sub.c (Formula 1). X can be a high purity chromatographic core composition having a surface comprising a silica core material, metal oxide core material, an inorganic-organic hybrid material or a group of block copolymers thereof. W can be absent and/or can include hydrogen and/or can include a hydroxyl on the surface of X. Q can be a functional group that minimizes retention variation over time (drift) under chromatographic conditions utilizing low water concentrations. T can include one or more hydrophilic, polar, ionizable, and/or charged functional groups that chromatographically interact with the analyte. Additionally, b and c can be positive numbers, with the ratio 0.05?(b/c)?100, and a?0.
