Abstract

Porous silica beads have excellent mechanical properties for the high-performance liquid chromatography of proteins. However, the importance of non-specific interations between silanols on the silica surface and the proteins requires a modification of these supports before they can be used as stationary phases for size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Silica beads were coated with dextran bearing a small number of positive charges in order to neutralize the negatively charged silanol groups. Diethylaminoethyl-dextrans (DEAE-dextrans) with a relatively low percentage of dextran units bearing DEAE functions were layered on the silica beads. The influence of several characteristics of these packings on chromatographic performance were studied in order to determine the optimal conditions for the SEC of proteins.

    Silica was used as the stationary phase in size exclusion chromatography in the 1970s. Porous silica and dextran-coated silica have been used as the stationary phase in size exclusion chromatography for the analysis and purification of proteins and biopolymers [11,12]. Yu et al. filled a column with spherical particles with a pore size of 250 and 500 Å to determine the separation capacity of size exclusion chromatography.

    In addition, these composite materials protect the silica matrix against chemical attacks by aggressive mobile phases, and consequently increasing the lifespan of the column [15]. So far, some attempts have been made for the coating of silica supports with different carbohydrates including agarose [16], dextran [17–20], cellulose [21], chitosan [22,23], glucose [24] and maltose [25] (see also the preceding paper in this issue). In most of these reported works, carbohydrate layers were coated on the silica surface by using non-covalent approaches leading to leaching out of the sugar layer with the attached affinity ligands, and in turn compromising the reusability of the HPAC stationary phases.
