Abstract: The current invention provides a novel method to synthesize a mono-disperse non-porous polymer particles with a unique gradient composition from the core to the shell. In particular, the present invention offers the flexibility to design the chemical and physical properties of different sections of the particle. This flexibility allows for significant latitude in the design of particles for analyzing a large variety of samples in different fields—through using these particles in different chromatography techniques including, but not limited to, ion exchange HPLC (e.g., bio-separation at different modes), reversed-phase HPLC, narrow bore and capillary HPLC, hydrophilic/hydrophobic interaction liquid chromatography, capillary electrochromatography separation, and two dimensional liquid chromatography.

Abstract: Methods of analyzing glycosylated biomolecules include the steps of producing a deglycosylation mixture of biomolecules deglycosylated by natural or synthetic enzymatic or chemical techniques; providing a reagent solution having a labeling reagent in a polar aprotic, non-nucleophilic organic solvent; and mixing the deglycosylation mixture with the reagent solution in an excess of labeling reagent to produce derivatized glycosylamines. The method steps can be carried out purposefully without depletion of protein matter. A quenching solution can be added to the reaction mixture so that the pH of the reaction mixture is shifted to above 10. The yield of derivatized glycosylamines can be in an amount of about 80 to about 100 mole percent of the reaction mixture with minimal overlabeling, less than 0.2 mole percent.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of separating a compound of interest, particularly unsaturated compound(s) of interest, from a mixture. The compound is separated using a column having a chromatographic stationary phase material for various different modes of chromatography containing a first substituent and a second substituent. The first substituent minimizes compound retention variation over time under chromatographic conditions. The second substituent chromatographically and selectively retains the compound by incorporating one or more aromatic, polyaromatic, heterocyclic aromatic, or polyheterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, each group being optionally substituted with an aliphatic group. In some examples, the present disclosure can include a chromatographic system having a chromatographic column having a stationary phase with a chromatographic substrate containing silica, metal oxide, an inorganic-organic hybrid material, a group of block copolymers, or a combination thereof.
