Abstract

Described are novel methods for producing microporous elements and microporous elements obtainable by such methods. Provided are also microporous elements including solid microparticles, which preferably modify the adsorptive properties of the microporous element. Described are also microporous elements which are linked to a support and/or a retainer as well as methods for their production. Filter elements comprising the above-described microporous elements are also provided. Furthermore, kits, diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aforementioned microporous or filter elements are described. Furthermore, uses of the aforementioned microporous and filter elements in microfiltration, chromatography, adsorption/immobilization of organic and inorganic compounds as well as for the preparation and/or detection of such compounds are disclosed.
