The present invention relates to porous cross-linked agarose gel beads which have a low agarose content, a method for the preparation of the beads and their use in chromatographic applications. The beads are suitable for the separation/purification of biomolecules from a biological sample. Due to the high porosity of the beads, they are especially suitable for separation/isolation of larger particles, such as virus particles e.g. adeno virus.

The present invention relates to a method for virus purification. The present invention provides downstream processes for purification of adenovirus from cell culture harvest. More closely, it relates to a method for adenovirus purification using a virus capture and a virus polishing step.

The present invention relates to a method for endotoxin removal from a sample comprising the following steps: combining the sample comprising one or more target molecule(s) with a chromatography media comprising beads having an inner porous core functionalized with ligands capable of binding endotoxin and an outer porous layer without functional groups and a pore size small enough to exclude the target molecule from the inner core; and collecting the sample from the media, wherein the sample comprises an endotoxin level which is at least 75% less, preferably 90% less, than before the removal and the yield of the target molecule is at least 75%.
