title: Dynamically modified capillary columns for liquid chromatographic separations of biological compounds.
abstract: Dynamically modified open tubular capillary columns were evaluated for separations of biological and clinical interest. Small diameter, dynamically modified columns were readily prepared by simple addition of cetyltrimethylammonium salts to the mobile phase. Separations similar to those obtained on conventional reversed-phase columns were observed for neutral solutes, and ion-pair reversed-phase separations were observed for charged solutes. Borosilicate and standard flint glasses were evaluated with respect to common etching procedures. A potential clinical application is presented in the separation of antitumor drugs.
