Synthesis of the whole-blood adsorber particle. (A) Flowchart of the experimental design for synthesis of the adsorber particles. (B) Representative scanning electron microscopic image of the uncoated activated charcoal. (C) Representative image of the experimental setup for the suspension polymerization process for coating the activated charcoal core particles. (D) Representative scanning electron microscopic image of the newly developed adsorber particle after coating of the charcoal core particles. Scale bars represent 200 µm (B) and 500 nm (D).
