A low-conversion poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate)-based polymer monolithic column was prepared by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for a short time at a low temperature (-15°C). By UV irradiation for 2 min, the monolithic column exhibited a high permeability of 5.6 × 10(-13) m(2) and a high column efficiency of over 100000 plates m(-1). At this polymerization time, the conversi...

The use of on-column capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection for the accurate non-invasive visualisation of the pH dependence of covalently bound boronic acid groups within a monolithic polymeric capillary column is demonstrated.

A pressurized capillary electrochromatographic (pCEC) fingerprint of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract was developed on three different types of capillary columns. A commercial column packed with 3-microm particles and an in-house column packed with 5-microm particles were investigated for their performance. Additionally, a monolithic column was included in the fingerprint study as a potential alterna...

Monolithic silica columns and their use in high peak-capacity HPLC separations are reviewed. Monolithic silica columns can potentially provide higher overall performance than particle-packed columns based on the variable external porosity and variable through-pore size/skeleton size ratios. The high permeability of monolithic silica columns resulting from the high porosity is shown to be advant...

Monolithic column materials offer great advantages as chromatographic media in bioseparations and as solid-supports in biocatalysis. These single-piece porous materials have an interconnected ligament structure that limits the void volume inside the column, thus increasing the efficiency without sacrificing the permeability. The preparation of monolithic materials is easy, reproducible and has ...

Abstract: As for the measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) is used for PAH identification and densitometry. However, when a solvent containing a substance to be identified passes through a column of UPLC, a dedicated high-pressure-proof device is required. Recently, a liquid chromatography instrument using a monolithic column tech...

A CEC monolithic column with strong cation-exchange (SCX) stationary phase based on hydrophilic monomers was prepared by in situ polymerization of acrylamide, methylenebisacrylamide, and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in a complete organic binary porogenic solvent consisting of DMSO and dodecanol. The sulfonic groups provided by the monomer AMPS on the surface of the statio...

A method for direct determination of DL-tetrahydropalmatine (DL-THP) in Corydalis yanhusuo, a traditional Chinese herb, by L-THP imprinted monolithic precolumn on-line/off-line coupling with reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed. The L-THP imprinted monolithic column has been prepared by in situ polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA) and ethylene dim...
