A biocidal material comprises a biocide immobilized in a porous inorganic polymer network such as a sol-gel matrix. The polymer may be coated on an inorganic support. The material can be used for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueous medium, e.g., the wash solution of a photoprocessing system. The material can be housed in a flow-through container.
