Porous polymer monoliths: an alternative to classical beads.

Porous polymer monoliths are a new category of materials developed during the last decade. These materials are prepared using a simple molding process carried out within the confines of a closed mold. Polymerization of a mixture that typically contains monomers, free-radical initiator, and porogenic solvent affords macroporous materials with large through-pores that enable flow-through applications.

Rapid reversed-phase separation of proteins and peptides using optimized 'moulded' monolithic poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) columns.

Monolithic macroporous poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) stationary phases have been prepared by free radical polymerization within the confines of 4.6-mm I.D.

Separation of estrogens and rodenticides using capillary electrophoresis with aqueous-methanolic buffers.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has proven to be an efficient method for the separation of various charged and neutral analytes. For analytes having limited solubility in water, the CE mode of separation has been micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC). However, another approach is the direct addition of an organic solvent to a non-MECC CE separation system.
