Abstract
A method for removing pathogens from biological liquids and an apparatus for performing such a method, said method comprising the steps of PA1 providing a biological liquid, wherein pathogens are potentially present, in an apparatus comprising an anode and a kathode and a separation means suitable for separating said pathogens from said pharmaceutically active molecule, said separation means being positioned between said anode and said kathode, PA1 applying current between said anode and said kathode, thereby causing one of said pathogens or said pharmaceutically active molecule to pass said separation means and PA1 recovering said pharmaceutically active molecule in a form being free of said pathogens as well as an apparatus carrying out the present method.
