Abstract: The invention concerns alkali-stable hydrophilic sorbents for ion-exchange chromatography. The invention is characterized in that it consists in using as base material a crosslinked vinyl polymerconsisting of vinyl monomers containing diol groups and crosslinking monomers whereof the polymerizable groups are bound by carbonamide-containing chains. Monomers containing ionic groups are grafted on said base material using cerium (IV) salts.

Abstract: The present invention provides a field generating membrane electrode for contact with an electrolyte solution comprising a wetable membrane which is ion permeable under electric field conditions and an electrically conductive material for connection with a source of electrical charges, characterized in that one side of the membrane is in direct contact with the electrolyte solution and the other side of the membrane is in direct contact with the electrically conductive material and a gas receiving volume. The electrode according to the present invention is especially useful for electrokinetic transport, electrokinetic pumping, electrophoretic transport, isotachophoretic transport, separation of ions or electrochemical reaction of ions.

Abstract: The invention relates capillaries which are filled with or which can be filled with particulate sorbents. Said capillaries are sealed with a frit on at least one end. The frit is made of a monolithic inorganic or organic material which is directly polymerized into the capillary or which is introduced into the first capillary in the form of a second capillary filled with monolithic material.
