Abstract

En 中文

Open-channel electrochromatography in combination with solvent programming is demonstrated using a microchip device. Channel walls were coated with octadecylsilanes at ambient temperatures, yielding stationary phases for chromatographic separations of neutral dyes. The electroosmotic now after coating was sufficient to ensure transport of all species and on-chip mixing of isocratic and gradient elution conditions with acetonitrile-buffer mixtures. Chips having different channel depths between 10.2 and 2.9 mu m were evaluated for performance, and van Deemter plots were established. Channel depths of about 5 mu m were found to be a good compromise between efficiency and ease of operation. Isocratic and gradient elution conditions were easily established and manipulated by computer-controlled application of voltages to the terminals of the microchip. Linear gradients with different slopes, start times, duration times, and start percentages of organic modifier proved to be powerful tools to tune selectivity and analysis time for the separation of a test mixture. Even very steep gradients still produced excellent efficiencies. Together with fast reconditioning times, complete runs could be finished in under 60 s.
