This article describes the use of underivatized silica gel as a preparative stationary phase for process purification of proteins. Although silica has been frequently used as a stationary phase backbone matrix, direct adsorption of proteins on underivatized silica has not been widely exploited for industrial applications. In this study an effort was made to fundamentally understand the interaction mechanisms between a protein and silica surface by using several proteins with a wide range of isoelectric points (pIs) and surface hydrophobicity. Interactions in silica were found to be largely dominated by a combination of ionic and hydrophobic forces. Accordingly, a predictive model was derived for describing linear retention of proteins on silica. Finally, a case study is described investigating the role of silica in an industrial purification process. It was found that the integration of the two modes of interaction confers silica with a unique selectivity that can be very effectively utilized in downstream bioprocessing.

Amino acids (AAs) and their metabolites are important building blocks, energy sources, and signaling molecules associated with various pathological phenotypes. The quantification of AA and tryptophan (TRP) metabolites in human serum and plasma is therefore of great diagnostic interest. Therefore, robust, reproducible sample extraction and processing workflows as well as rapid, sensitive absolute quantification are required to identify candidate biomarkers and to improve screening methods.

We compared the separation selectivities of 19 different hydrophilic interaction chromatography columns. The stationary phases included underivatized silica and hybrid particles, cyano-bonded silica, materials with neutral ligands such as amide, diol, pentahydroxy, and urea, zwitterionic sorbents, and mixed-mode materials with amine functionalities. A set of 77 small molecules was used to evaluate the columns.
