Summary
A PVA-matrix is presented which is capable of gelating at room temperature resulting in lens-shaped particles (LentiKats®). Immobilisation of biocatalysts in LentiKats® is possible without significant loss of biological activity. The hydrogels are long term mechanically and chemically stable and show hardly any biodegradability.
Using the new JetCutter method uniform and monodisperse beads can be generated from high viscous fluids at large throughput. The technique is suited for technical and industrial scale.
