Abstract

Slides for ultra thin-layer chromatography (UTLC) were made by coating nonporous silica particles, chemically modified with polyacrylamide, as 15 μm films on glass or silicon. Three proteins, myoglobin, cytochrome c and lysozyme, are nearly baseline resolved by the mechanism of hydrophilic interaction chromatography. A plate height as low as 3 μm, with 3900 plates, is observed in 14 mm. Varying silica particle diameter among 900, 700 and 350 nm showed that decreasing particle diameter slightly improves resolution but slows the separation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-MS of the proteins after separation is demonstrated by wicking sufficient sinapinic acid into the separation medium.
