Abstract:
Summary Zirconia is known to be one of the best materials for the chromatographic support due to its excellent chemical, thermal and mechanical stability. In this work we report preparation and use of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-immobilized zirconia as a chiral stationary phase for separation of some enantiomers in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The BSA-zirconia showed good enantioselectivity for some of the enantiomers studied and could be used for RPLC separations in mobile phases of alkaline pH.
