Abstract
The effect of ionic strength and quenching temperature on the mechanical properties and structure of agarose-based chromatographic adsorbents in micro-beads for bioseparation was investigated. The pore size/size distribution of the beads was measured by analysis of their AFM images. Their mechanical properties were determined by a micromanipulation technique based on compression of single micro-particles. It was found that the mean pore size and stiffness of agarose beads increase with ionic strength and slow cooling. These two parameters do not affect the particle size/size distribution.
