Abstract:With 6% agarose solution as water phase, composed by liquid paraffin (LP) and petroleum ether (PE) with different volumetric ratios as oil phase, and PO-5S as emulsifier, agarose beads with average size of 90 mm were prepared by membrane emulsification, and the effects of pore size of the shirasu porous glass (SPG) membranes, oil phase composition, temperature and pressure on the size and size distribution of prepared agarose beads were investigated. The optimal preparation conditions were: the pore size of used SPG membrane was 25.9 mm, oil phase composed by volumetric ratio of LP and PE 11:1 and the preparation temperature 65℃. The prepared agarose beads with good reproducibility had an average diameter of 93.3 mm, size distribution index, Rspan, 1.25 and relative standard deviation 1.34%.
