Abstract
The increasing demand for highly pure biopharmaceuticals has put significant pressure on the biotechnological industry to innovate in production and purification processes. Nucleic acid purification, crucial for gene therapy and vaccine production, presents challenges due to the unique physical and chemical properties of these molecules. Meeting regulatory standards necessitates large quantities of biotherapeutic agents of high purity. While conventional chromatography offers versatility and efficiency, it suffers from drawbacks like low flow rates and binding capacity, as well as high mass transfer resistance. Recent advancements in continuous beds, including monoliths and cryogel-based systems, have emerged as promising solutions to overcome these limitations. This review explores and evaluates the latest progress in chromatography utilizing monolithic and cryogenic supports for nucleic acid purification.

Abstract
Tryptophan (Trp) decorated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) cryogels were prepared by a one-step reaction with citric acid. The increase of Trp content in the 3D network from 0 to 2.18 wt% increased the apparent density from 0.0267 g.cm-3 to 0.0381 g.cm-3 and the compression modulus from 94 kPa to 201 kPa, due to hydrophobic interactions between Trp molecules. The increase of Trp content in HPMC-Trp hydrogels increased the amount of non-freezing water, estimated from differential scanning calorimetry, and the amount of freezing water, which was determined by time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB) on HPMC-Trp hydrogels increased with Trp content and the amount of freezing water. HPMC-Trp hydrogels could be recycled 6 times keeping the original adsorptive capacity. The diffusional constants of MB and RB tended to increase with Trp content. RB adsorbed on HPMC-Trp hydrogels presented a bathochromic shift of fluorescence.

Abstract
Progress in cell purification technology is critical to increase the availability of viable cells for therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. A variety of techniques are now available for cell separation, ranging from non-affinity methods such as density gradient centrifugation, dielectrophoresis, and filtration, to affinity methods such as chromatography, two-phase partitioning, and magnetic-/fluorescence-assisted cell sorting. For clinical and analytical procedures that require highly purified cells, the choice of cell purification method is crucial, since every method offers a different balance between yield, purity, and bioactivity of the cell product. For most applications, the requisite purity is only achievable through affinity methods, owing to the high target specificity that they grant. In this review, we discuss past and current methods for developing cell-targeting affinity ligands and their application in cell purification, along with the benefits and challenges associated with different purification formats. We further present new technologies, like stimuli-responsive ligands and parallelized microfluidic devices, towards improving the viability and throughput of cell products for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Our comparative analysis provides guidance in the multifarious landscape of cell separation techniques and highlights new technologies that are poised to play a key role in the future of cell purification in clinical settings and the biotech industry. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Technologies for cell purification have served science, medicine, and industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing for decades. This review presents a comprehensive survey of this field by highlighting the scope and relevance of all known methods for cell isolation, old and new alike. The first section covers the main classes of target cells and compares traditional non-affinity and affinity-based purification techniques, focusing on established ligands and chromatographic formats. The second section presents an excursus of affinity-based pseudo-chromatographic and non-chromatographic technologies, especially focusing on magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Finally, the third section presents an overview of new technologies and emerging trends, highlighting how the progress in chemical, material, and microfluidic sciences has opened new exciting avenues towards high-throughput and high-purity cell isolation processes. This review is designed to guide scientists and engineers in their choice of suitable cell purification techniques for research or bioprocessing needs.

Abstract
We have prepared and evaluated larger format phage-bound epoxy-cryogel columns in order to increase the yield of bound target. Freezing thermograms showed that larger column formats (2.5-5 cm diameter) are not usable due to irregular polymerization phenomena. Preparing thin disks of 0.5 cm height with similar diameter proved to be an excellent alternative. Disks could be stacked and run in a chromatographic setup. In this way, we could increase the matrix volume, ligand-binding capacity, and finally the yield of bound target. By increasing the column volume about sevenfold, we observed a 12-fold increase of ligand density and a sevenfold increase in the yield of protein recovery in a column where phages were attached without spacer and a 10- to 34-fold increase in a spacer column, depending on the spacer used.

Abstract
In this study, cryogel-based molecularly imprinted composite cartridges were designed for the rapid, efficient, and selective preconcentration of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) from water samples. First, a BaP-imprinted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(L)-phenylalanine) composite cartridge was synthesized under semi-frozen conditions and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and swelling tests. After the optimization of preconcentration parameters, i.e., pH and initial BaP concentration, the selectivity and preconcentration efficiency, and reusability of these cartridges were also evaluated. In selectivity experiments, BaP imprinted composite cartridge exhibited binding capacities 3.09, 9.52, 8.87, and 8.77-fold higher than that of the non-imprinted composite cartridge in the presence of competitors, such as benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (IcdP), and 1-naphthol, respectively. The method detection limit (MDL), relative standard deviation (RSD) and preconcentration efficiency (PE) of the synthesized composite cartridge were calculated as 24.86μg/L, 1.60%, and 349.6%, respectively.

Abstract
Collagen–carboxymethyl cellulose–tricalcium phosphate cryogels were prepared for diverse biomedical applications. Further chemical and structural characterizations were performed by Fourier transform infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray crystallography, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties were tested by unconfined compression test. Moreover, hemocompatibility of the cryogels was also evaluated by basic biochemical blood testing. Chemical and structural analysis results demonstrate the achievement of the cross-linking without any major alteration in collagen and carboxymethyl cellulose with a thermally and structurally stable blend formation. Scanning electron micrographs demonstrate the multi-lamellar formation with macro- and micro-pore compositions which can correlate with water uptake results of the cryogels. Hemocompatibility evaluations exhibited that the cryogels are non-toxic and blood-compatible. The overall results including mechanical testing of these tricalcium phosphate–consisting collagen/carboxymethyl cellulose cryogels may have potential use as a material for hard tissue regeneration.
