title: A novel stationary phase derivatized from hydrophilic gigaporous polystyrene-based microspheres for high-speed protein chromatography.
abstract: Using agarose coated gigaporous polystyrene microspheres as a base support, a novel anion exchanger (DEAE-AP) has been developed after functionalization with diethylaminoethyl chloride. The gigaporous structure, static adsorption behavior, and chromatographic properties of DEAE-AP medium were characterized and compared with those of commercially available resin DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow (DEAE-FF). The results implied that there existed some through pores in DEAE-AP microspheres, which effectively reduced resistance to stagnant mobile phase mass transfer by inducing convective flow of mobile phase in the gigapores of medium. As a consequence, the column packed with DEAE-AP exhibited low column backpressure, high column efficiency, high dynamic binding capacity and high protein resolution at high flow velocity up to 2600cm/h. In conclusion, all the results suggested that the gigaporous absorbent is promising for high-speed protein chromatography.
