Abstract
The present invention pertains to improved methods for the selective separation of organic components from biological fluids. More particularly, the present invention pertains to methods for the selective separation of organic components from biological fluids which comprise the step of contacting the biological fluid with a synthetic hydrated alkaline earth silicate (i.e., SHAES), such as synthetic hydrated calcium silicate (i.e., SHCS) or synthetic hydrated magnesium silicate (i.e., SHMS). In a preferred embodiment, the present invention pertains to such methods where the biological fluid is a mammalian blood fluid (e.g., whole blood, blood plasma, blood serum, blood fraction, plasma fraction, serum fraction).
