Abstract

The invention discloses a carrier made from an organic foam having open pores for enzymes or cells immobilization and the methods for preparing immobilized enzymes or cells. The invention uses flocculation and crosslinking technology to immobilize enzyme protein or cells on the organic foam material having open pores. The resultant immobilized products have larger specific surface area, higher specific activity and can be made into various shapes.
