Abstract

The preparation and performance of a weak cation-exchange stationary phase for Open Tubular Liquid Chromatography (OT-LC) was investigated. The stationary phase was prepared in 5.4 μm I.D. fused silica capillaries byin situ photopolymerization of a mixture of silicon acrylate and acrylic acid. The influence of pH, counter ion concentration and organic modifier concentration of the mobile phase on the retention was studied with catecholamines as test solutes using LIF detection. Other biological amines like amino acids, small peptides and nucleic acid derivatives could be separated on this stationary phase as well. The kinetic performance of the stationary phase was studied with several cations and neutral solutes.
