Abstract

Novel sorbents and methods for removing small hydrophobic and amphophilic molecules from biological fluids were disclosed. The methods and materials were particularly useful for removing viral inactivating agents from blood and blood fractions. The novel sorbents comprise a porous mineral oxide matrix having its interior porous volume substantially filled with a crosslinked hydrophobic polymer network.
