Abstract

Enzymes and/or bacteria cells are immobilized by forming an aqueous mixture of enzymes and/or bacteria cells and a hydrophobic, vitrifiable monomer in an amount of at least 76% by weight of all monomers present, and irradiating the mixture by means of ionizing radiation at a temperature less than -10.degree. C. to polymerize the monomer.
