Comparison of monolithic silica and polymethacrylate capillary columns for LC

Organic polymer monolithic capillary columns were prepared in fused-silica capillaries by radical co-polymerization of ethylene dimethacrylate and butyl methacrylate monomers with azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator of the polymerization reaction in the presence of various amounts of porogenic solvent mixtures and different concentration ratios of monomers and 1-propanol, 1,4-butanediol, and water. The chromatographic properties of the organic polymer monolithic columns were compared with those of commercial silica-based particulate and monolithic capillary and analytical HPLC columns. The tests included the determination of H-u curves, column permeabilities, pore distribution by inversed-SEC measurements, methylene and polar selectivities, and polar interactions with naphthalenesulphonic acid test samples. Organic polymer monolithic capillary columns show similar retention behaviour to chemically bonded alkyl silica columns for compounds with different polarities characterized by interaction indices, Ix, but have lower methylene selectivities and do not show polar interactions with sulphonic acids. The commercial capillary and analytical silica gel-based monolithic columns showed similar selectivities and provided symmetrical peaks, indicating no significant surface heterogeneities. To allow accurate characterization of the properties of capillary monolithic columns, the experimental data should be corrected for extra-column contributions. With 0.3 mm ID capillary columns, corrections for extra-column volume contributions are sufficient, but to obtain true information on the efficiency of 0.1 mm ID capillary columns, the experimental bandwidths should be corrected for extra-column contributions to peak broadening.     

HILIC mode separation of polar compounds by monolithic silica capillary columns coated with polyacrylamide

HILIC mode columns were prepared by an on-column polymerization of acrylamide on a monolithic silica capillary column modified with N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)methacrylamide as the anchor group. The products showed HILIC mode retention characteristics with three times greater permeability and slightly higher column efficiency compared to a commercially available amide-type HILIC column packed with 5-μm particles. The selectivity of the monolithic silica-based column was similar to that of the particulate column for each group of solutes towards nucleosides, nucleic bases and carbohydrate derivatives, although a considerable difference was observed in the selectivity for the solute groups. Although the retention of solutes based on the polar functionality was much smaller with the monolithic silica columns, which had a smaller phase ratio, than with the particle-packed column, the former can achieve better separation utilizing the high permeability and higher column efficiencies of a longer column.     

Highly efficient monolithic silica capillary columns modified with poly(acrylic acid) for hydrophilic interaction chromatography

Monolithic silica capillary columns for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) were prepared by on-column polymerization of acrylic acid on monolithic silica in a fused silica capillary modified with anchor groups. The products maintained the high permeability (K=5 x 10(-14)m(2)) and provided a plate height (H) of less than 10 microm at optimum linear velocity (u) and H below 20 microm at u=6mm/s for polar solutes including nucleosides and carbohydrates. The HILIC mode monolithic silica capillary column was able to produce 10000 theoretical plates (N) with column dead time (t(0)) of 20s at a pressure drop of 20 MPa or lower. The total performance was much higher than conventional particle-packed HILIC columns currently available. The gradient separations of peptides by a capillary LC-electrospray mass spectrometry system resulted in very different retention selectivity between reversed-phase mode separations and the HILIC mode separations with a peak capacity of ca. 100 in a 10 min gradient time in either mode. The high performance observed with the monolithic silica capillary column modified with poly(acrylic acid) suggests that the HILIC mode can be an alternative to the reversed-phase mode for a wide range of compounds, especially for those of high polarity in isocratic as well as gradient elution.     

Preparation of chitosan functionalized monolithic silica column for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography

A novel cationic hydrophilic interaction monolithic stationary phase based on the chemical modification of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) to the monolithic silica skeleton using carbodiimide as an activation reagent was prepared for performing capillary liquid chromatography. The amino and hydroxy moieties of CMCH functioned as both the ion-exchange sites and polar providers. The performance of the column was studied by the separation of polar acidic compounds. The chitosan functionalized monolithic silica column showed good selectivity for nucleosides, nucleotides, aromatic acids and aliphatic acids. The mechanism for the separation of these compounds was also studied. The results showed that these compounds were separated primarily based on the hydrophilic interaction mechanism.     

Histidine‐modified organic‐silica hybrid monolithic column for mixed‐mode per aqueous and ion‐exchange capillary electrochromatography

A novel organic‐silica hybrid monolith was prepared through the binding of histidine onto the surface of monolithic matrix for mixed‐mode per aqueous and ion‐exchange capillary electrochromatography. The imidazolium and amino groups on the surface of the monolithic stationary phase were used to generate an anodic electro‐osmotic flow as well as to provide electrostatic interaction sites for the charged compounds at low pH. Typical per aqueous chromatographic behavior was observed in water‐rich mobile phases. Various polar and hydrophilic analytes were selected to evaluate the characteristics and chromatographic performance of the obtained monolith. Under per aqueous conditions, the mixed‐mode mechanism of hydrophobic and ion‐exchange interactions was observed and the resultant monolithic column proved to be very versatile for the efficient separations of these polar and hydrophilic compounds (including amides, nucleosides and nucleotide bases, benzoic acid derivatives, and amino acids) in highly aqueous mobile phases. The successful applications suggested that the histidine‐modified organic‐silica hybrid monolithic column could offer a wide range of retention behaviors and flexible selectivities toward polar and hydrophilic compounds.     

Polymetacrylate and hybrid interparticle monolithic columns for fast separations of proteins by capillary liquid chromatography

Preparation of organic polymer monolithic columns in fused silica capillaries was aimed at fast gradient separation of proteins. For this purpose, polymerization in situ procedure was optimized, using ethylene dimetacrylate and butyl metacrylate monomers with azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator of the polymerization reaction in presence of non-aqueous porogen solvent mixtures composed of 1-propanol and 1,4-butanediol. The separation of proteins in totally monolithic capillary columns was compared with the chromatography on a new type of "hybrid interparticle monolithic" capillary columns, prepared by in situ polymerization in capillary packed with superficially porous spherical beds, 37-50 microm. The "hybrid" columns showed excellent stability and improved hydrodynamic flow properties with respect to the "totally" monolithic capillary columns. The separation selectivity is similar in the two types of columns. The nature of the superficially porous layer (bare silica or bonded C18 ligands) affects the separation selectivity less significantly than the porosity (density) of the monolithic moiety in the interparticle space, controlled by the composition of the polymerization mixture. The retention behaviour of proteins on all prepared columns is consistent with the reversed-phase gradient elution theory.     

Electrochromatographic evaluation of a silica monolith capillary column for separation of basic pharmaceuticals

A silica-based monolithic capillary column was prepared via a sol-gel process. The continuous skeleton and large through-pore structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The native silica monolith has been successfully employed in the electrochromatographic separation of beta-blockers and alkaloids extracted from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Column efficiencies greater than 250 000 plates/m for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separation of basic compounds were obtained. It was observed that retention of basic pharmaceuticals on the silica monolith was mainly contributed by a cation-exchange mechanism. Other retention mechanisms including reversed-phase and normal-phase mechanisms and electrophoresis of basic compounds also played a role in separation. A comparison of the differences between CEC and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separation was also discussed.     

Polymethacrylate monolithic and hybrid particle-monolithic columns for reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction capillary liquid chromatography

We prepared hybrid particle-monolithic polymethacrylate columns for micro-HPLC by in situ polymerization in fused silica capillaries pre-packed with 3–5 μm C₁₈ and aminopropyl silica bonded particles, using polymerization mixtures based on laurylmethacrylate–ethylene dimethacrylate (co)polymers for the reversed-phase (RP) mode and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) zwitterionic (co)polymers for the hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) mode. The hybrid particle-monolithic columns showed reduced porosity and hold-up volumes, approximately 2–2.5 times lower in comparison to the pure monolithic columns prepared in the whole volume of empty capillaries. The elution volumes of sample compounds are also generally lower in comparison to packed or pure monolithic columns. The efficiency and permeability of the hybrid columns are intermediate in between the properties of the reference pure monolithic and particle-packed columns. The chemistries of the embedded solid particles and of the interparticle monolithic moiety in the hybrid capillary columns contribute to the retention to various degrees, affecting the selectivity of separation. Some hybrid columns provided improved separations of proteins in comparison to the reference particle-packed columns in the reversed-phase mode. Zwitterionic hybrid particle-monolithic columns show dual mode retention HILIC/RP behaviour depending on the composition of the mobile phase and allow separations of polar compounds such as phenolic acids in the HILIC mode at lower concentrations of acetonitrile and, often in shorter analysis time in comparison to particle-packed and full-volume monolithic columns.     

Study of triacontyl-functionalized monolithic silica capillary column for reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography

A novel stationary phase triacontyl-functionalized monolithic silica capillary column was successfully prepared for reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography. The performance of the monolithic silica capillary column coated with triacontyl chain for the separation of alkylbenzenes, xylene isomers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and mixture of α- and β-carotenes was studied, which was compared to that using the monolithic silica capillary column coated with octadecyl chain. The comparison results showed that triacontyl-functionalized monolithic silica capillary column would be a promising media to be used for the separation of isomeric solutes with long chain in reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography.     

Development of a new C14 monolithic silica column containing embedded polar groups for pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Monolithic columns have been prepared with a novel bonded silica stationary phase, tetradecylamine bonded silica (TDAS), and used in pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC). The monolithic silica column matrix was prepared by a sol-gel process and then chemically modified with the spacer (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane and tetradecylamine. The introduced embedded polar amine groups dominated the charge on the surface of the monolithic stationary phase and generated an EOF from cathode to anode under acidic conditions. The tetradecyl hydrophobic chains in TDAS provide chromatographic interactions. The chromatographic characteristics of the prepared monolithic column were studied. Some aromatic compounds including alkylbenzenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, and anilines were successfully separated on the TDAS monolithic column in pCEC mode. As expected, the TDAS monolithic stationary phases exhibit typical reversed-phase electrochromatographic behavior toward neutral solutes due to the introduced tetradecyl groups. Hydrophobic as well as electrophoretic migration processes within the monoliths were observed in the separation of basic anilines. Symmetrical peaks can be obtained for anilines because the embedded polar amine groups on the surface can effectively shield the adsorption of positively charged analytes onto the stationary phase.
