  • Title: Novel separation medium spongy monolith for high throughput analyses.
    Author: Watanabe F, Kubo T, Kaya K, Hosoya K.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2009 Oct 30; 1216(44):7402-8. PubMed ID: 19577755.
    Abstract:
    Sponge-like material was utilized as novel chromatographic media for high throughput analyses. The pore size of the sponge-like material was several dozen micrometer, and was named spongy monolith because it consists of continuous structured copolymers, which was made of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate), such as monolithic materials including silica monoliths and organic polymer monoliths. The spongy monolith was packed into a stainless steel column (100 mm x 4.6 mm I.D.) and evaluated in liquid chromatography (LC) with an on-line column-switching LC concentration system. The results indicate that the packed column could be used with high flow rates and low back pressure (9.0 mL/min at 0.5 MPa). Furthermore, bisphenol A was quantitatively recovered by on-line column-switching LC concentration with the spongy monolithic column. Additionally, the adsorption capacity and physical strength of the media was enhanced via chemical modification of spongy monoliths using glycerol dimethacrylate. The results compared with original spongy monolith demonstrated that a higher adsorption capacity was achieved on a shorter column, and a stable low back pressure was obtained at high throughput elution even with a longer column.
