Monolithic columns for analytical applications have attracted the researcher's attention. In this work, laboratory-made organic-polymer monolithic column is modified with trypsin and further applied as a nanobiocatalyst microreactor stationary phase separating chiral compounds by liquid chromatography. The monolith was synthesized in-situ copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) ethylene...

A novel enantioseparational monolithic stationary phase for binaphthol based on a molecular imprinting method was introduced and evaluated in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The monolithic stationary was prepared by the in situ copolymerization of methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in a porogenic solvent (toluene or toluene-isooctane) in the presence of an imprinting mol...

Two polystyrene-based capillary monolithic columns of different length (50 and 250 mm) were used to evaluate the effects of column length on gradient separation of protein digests. A tryptic digest of a 9-protein mixture was used as a test sample. Peak capacities were determined from selected extracted ion chromatograms, and tandem mass spectrometry data were used for database matching using th...

A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean up on an immunoaffinity column. The method was validated for analysis of AFB1 in rice, bread, puffed corn snack, wheat flour and peanut samples. The average recoveries for AFB1 in different foods ranged from 94.4 to 102.5% with the coeffici...

A capillary electrochromatography (CEC) monolithic column with mixed modes of reversed-phase and anion-exchange stationary phases was prepared by in situ polymerization of 2-(methacryloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium methyl sulfate (MEAMS) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) in a binary porogenic solvent consisting 1-propanol and 1,4-butanediol. The ammonium groups on the surface of the stationary pha...

A method for preparation of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) derivatized onto the surface of a monolithic silica capillary column was successfully developed. The vinyl groups were first introduced onto the silica monolith by immobilization of gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. Then the MIP coating was copolymerized and anchored onto the surface of the silica monolith. Acetonitrile was...

A synthetic protocol for the preparation of an indium oxide nanoparticle-functionalized poly(methacrylic acid-glycidyl methacrylate-ethylene dimethacrylate-ethanediamine) monolithic column is reported. Various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric an...
