“…Due to their interconnected, macroporous 3D structure, cryogels have been widely used in bioseparation‐related applications [1–10], tissue engineering [10–14], and other relevant bioengineering and sensor applications [15–17]. In particular, monolithic cryogels have been used as a new generation of chromatographic matrices for the separation of cells (mammalian, bacterial, and yeast), proteins, viruses, and plasmids [18–22]. Benefitting from their large and interconnected pores, cryogel monoliths are capable of processing nonclarified, viscous feedstreams, including blood, plasma, and fermentation broth, alongside plant and animal extracts [23,24], which could not be processed by traditional chromatographic mediums involving packed beads without high backpressures or clogging [25–27].…”
