High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a key analytical technique that is used in a number of fields. Improving the separation efficiency, stability, and universality of HPLC has been a continuing analytical-chemistry focus. In chromatographic separation, factors such as the composition and ratio of the mobile phase, the type of stationary phase, and the dimensions of the chromatographic column significantly affect the separation efficiency.

This work used MIL-53(Fe) as a precursor and prepared spherical 3-aminophenol-formaldehyde resin containing MIL-53(Fe) crystals using the advanced Stöber method, followed by the successful preparation of MIL-53(Fe) derived SPC (MSPC) with a structure containing both micropores and mesopores through high-temperature carbonization. The effects of the doping amount of MIL-53(Fe) on the sphericity and particle size of MSPC were investigated.

An improved emulsion method was used to prepare silica mesoporous microspheres, and the rotary evaporation temperature, emulsification speed, dosage of porogen DMF, and dosage of the catalyst NH·HO were optimized. Subsequently, these microspheres were respectively treated by alkali-heating, calcination, and sieving.

Both the characteristics of the matrix, such as its structure and morphology, and the surface modification method contribute to the affinity properties of the packing materials. The specific, orderly, and oriented immobilization of protein A can reduce its steric hindrance with the matrix and preserve its bioactive sites.

Cellulose is a popular biological separation medium due to its abundant hydroxyl group on the surface, easy modification and, weak non-specific adsorption. In this paper, the development of cellulosic solvent systems, typical preparation methods of cellulosic chromatographic media, and the enhancement of chromatographic properties of cellulosic chromatographic media by polymeric ligand grafting strategies and their mechanism of action are reviewed.

The prepared ZIF-8 incorporate polymeric open tubular capillary column (denoted as ZIF-8-p(VBC/DVB) OTCC) was evaluated with thiourea, alkylbenzenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as probe molecules. The results showed that the ultra-long column achieved absolute column efficiency of 130,000 plates for thiourea, and the incorporation of ZIF-8 effectively improved the chromatography performance of the OTCC.
