  • Title: Ground, sieved, and C18 modified monolithic silica particles for packing material of microcolumn high-performance liquid chromatography.
    Author: Ko JH, Baik YS, Park ST, Cheong WJ.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2007 Mar 16; 1144(2):269-74. PubMed ID: 17289065.
    Abstract:
    We here report a new type of stationary phase for microcolumns. C18 modified silica monolith particles were prepared by grinding and sieving the silica monolith followed by C18 modification and end-capping, and were used as packing material. Ground silica monolith particles were not spherical but irregular with some residual monolithic network structure. The separation efficiency of the stationary phase made of sieved monolith particles (5-10 microm) was better than that of the stationary phase made of unsieved particles. The microcolumn packed with the sieved C18 ground monolith particles (5-10 microm) showed quite good separation efficiency (height equivalent to theoretical plate, HETP, as low as 15 microm) and it was even superior to the microcolumn packed with a commercial spherical 5 microm C18 stationary phase. The column pressure drop of C18 monolith particles was about two-third of that of the commercial spherical C18 phase. The preparation method of C18 stationary phase with ground and sieved silica monolith particles presumably suggests advantages of simplicity and convenience in modification and washing procedures compared to bulk silica monolith. It also showed both improved separation efficiency and low back pressure.
