  • Patent number: 8935941
    Abstract: To use a monolithic silica body in chromatography with a HPLC column or a GC column and to simplify the use thereof as a separation medium, it is intended to provide a method of cladding a main body of a monolithic adsorbent or separating agent with glass so as to protect the outer surface, and to provide a separation medium prepared by the method. To this end, a monolithic silica body alone is formed by molding, and the molding is coated with a glass body; and then the glass body and the monolithic silica body are fused and integrated at the melting temperature of the glass body at an appropriate pressure. The surface of the resulting monolithic silica body clad with glass is strongly protected by the glass, and the homogeneity of the interior of the monolithic silica body is maintained, and thus uniform flow of a sample solution ensures analytical accuracy.

  • Patent number: 8586350
    Abstract: A high-purity fragment is obtained by a simple mechanism and method for separating and purifying a nucleic acid, particularly fragment DNA, extremely efficiently and with a high reproducibility, wherein elution with a high-concentration salt is not performed and necessity of elution and purification is eliminated. This mechanism is a mechanism for purifying a nucleic acid, particularly fragment DNA using a monolith structure formed with glass or silica, specifically, an integral porous body having an open structure with pores that communicate the upper end with the lower end, wherein through-pores corresponding to nucleic acid sizes of 35 bp (mer) to 100 Kbp (mer) are provided.

  • Publication number: 20030190757
    Abstract: For the purpose of extremely simply carrying out a pre-treatment such as sample preparation including extraction or concentration of a component of interest in a short time when performing a chromatographic analysis, it is intended that a column configured such that the inside of a narrow tube is provided with a porous body having open pore structures across the entire diameter of the tube and along an appropriate length of the tube is used and a sample containing a substance to be measured is allowed to pass through the column to retain and concentrate the substance to be measured within pores of the porous body in the column, and it is also intended to provide a method in which the above described process is conducted as a micro trap when carrying out the pre-treatment of the chromatographic analysis and then the removed substances are introduced into analytical means, a method in which a sample is introduced into a separation column after narrowing the sample band when introducing the sample into a liquid
