Abstract: Disclosed is a method for separating a plurality of different chemicals in a sample. The method uses a hexyl-bonded stationary phase composition in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The composition includes a polymer-based chromatographic support composed of chemically stable and porous particles having a surface. The surface of said particles having hexyl-phenyl bonded thereto. A chromatography column is packed with this composition and a sample including a plurality of different chemicals is injected. Liquid is applied to force the sample through the column, whereby said different chemicals come out of the column at different times.

Abstract: An alkyl-phenyl bonded a stationary phase for use in reversed-phase liquid chromatography, having five to ten carbon atoms in the alkyl group, is disclosed. The alkyl-phenyl bonded phase has its unique selectivity, and it is chemically stable in both acidic and basic environments as well as having high retention capacity, hence high resolution. A method for preparing the alkyl-phenyl bonded phase and a column inside of which the alkyl-phenyl bonded phase is packed with are also disclosed. Additionally, a method for performing liquid chromatography and a mixed stationary phase which has more than one alkyl-phenyl phases are disclosed.

Abstract: A novel class of cross-linking agent, which comprises a monomeric organic compound having at least two hydroxyl groups each bonded to a different carbon atom, wherein said hydroxyl groups are activated by reaction with 2-fluoro-1-methylpyridinium toluene-4-sulfonate (FMP). Suitable monomeric organic compounds include diols and polyols. Such cross-linking agents may be conveniently prepared by reaction of the monomeric organic compound with FMP in a suitable solvent, followed by recovery of the resultant reaction products, e.g., via precipitation and filtration. The novel cross-linking agents have a wide variety of uses, including the interconnection of subunits of multimeric enzymes and the covalent immobilization of organic ligands to suitable carriers or supports.
