The present invention provides a cellulose porous gel microsphere with uniform particle size, a preparation method and application. Based on the liquid-liquid dispersion theory and the innovation of the underlying technology, the present invention proposes the preparation of high-performance cellulose porous gel microspheres by cellulose acetate solution with low viscosity. The present invention is environmental-friendly, low in requirements for equipment, low in cost, and easy for expanded production and application. The cellulose acetate with low viscosity is used as the raw material, and the prepared cellulose porous gel microspheres have high sphericity, uniform particle size, moderate microsphere pore size, high mechanical strength and excellent pressure/flow rate performance and are suitable for the modification of various ligands and the separation and the purification of various biomacromolecules in various modes after modification. The present invention can compete with agarose porous gel microspheres and can realize efficient separation of the biomacromolecules in chromatography.

The present invention relates to a chromatography ligand, which comprises Domain C from Staphylococcus protein A (SpA), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. The chromatography ligand presents an advantageous capability of withstanding harsh cleaning in place (CIF) conditions, and is capable of binding Fab fragments of antibodies. The ligand may be provided with a terminal coupling group, such as arginine or cysteine, to facilitate its coupling to an insoluble carrier such as beads or a membrane. The invention also relates process of using the ligand in isolation of antibodies, and to a purification protocol which may include washing steps and/or regeneration with alkali.

Smoking article include a smokable material and an activated carbon particle downstream of the smokable material. The activated carbon particle is produced from a whole seed. The activated carbon particle has a length, width and height. At least two of the length width and height are independently in a range from about 1 mm to about 7.5 mm. The particles can be spheroids, in which case the length, width and height would be the same or similar.
