METHOD FOR PREPARING A MONOLITHIC STATIONARY PHASE, ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CHROMATOGRAPHY COLUMN AND ASSOCIATED SEPARATION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for preparing a monolithic stationary phase in the interior volume of a chromatography column made of thermoplastic polymer. This method comprises the following steps: (i) modifying the inner wall of the chromatography column by implementing the following steps: (a) preparing a polymerizable anchoring composition comprising at least one particular methacrylate monomer, one or more solvents and 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, (b) depositing, on the inner wall of the column, the polymerizable anchoring composition prepared in step (a), and (c) polymerizing the polymerizable anchoring composition by irradiation with ultraviolet radiation; (ii) introducing, into the interior volume of the column, a polymerizable monolith synthesis composition comprising first and second particular (meth)acrylate monomers, one or more pore-forming agents and a free-radical polymerization initiator; and (iii) polymerizing the polymerizable monolith synthesis composition. The invention also relates to a method for producing a chromatography column comprising such a monolithic stationary phase and to a chromatographic separation method using such a column.
