The retentive power of a poly(amido-amine), in the form of a highly hydrophilic crosslinked resin, has been evaluated at different pH's. The resin releases heparin quantitatively in a very narrow pH range (10.8-11.4). This poly(amido-amine) has also been grafted on PVC tubes, and the heparin-adsorbing capacity of the materials so obtained has been tested biologically. In this case heparin is only released at pH greater than 10 so confirming the strong interaction between our polymer and heparin.
