## Abstract Different polymer‐coated stationary phases have been evaluated in micro‐LC: Nucleosil‐100‐5‐C1‐PMSC18 (C~18~‐substituted polymethylsiloxane, C~1~‐deactivated with trimethylsilylenolate) and Nucleosil‐100‐5‐C1‐PMSCN (cyanopropyl‐substituted polymethylsiloxane, C~1~‐deactivated) in the re

✦ Synopsis
The life expectancy and resistance to flow, pressure shocks, solvent gradients, and bending of packed fused silica capillary columns (Micro-LC) are discussed.
2 Instrumentation
Chromatographic measurements were carried out on a Varian 5020 (Varian Associates, Walnut Creek, CA, USA) and on a Perkin Elmer LC-4(Perkin Elmer, Norwalk, CT, USA) instrument. The columns, fused silica coated with polyimide, had a length of 10 to 25 cm and an internal diameter (i.d.) of 320 pm. They were self produced or obtained from RSLlAlltech Europe (Eke, Belgium), who recently introduc-ed such columns commercially. Packing such columns is not straightforward. Special know-how, which cannot be divulged as yet, had to be developed. The packing material was mostly 5 pm ROSiL-C18-D, a spherical, octadecylated, silica based packing material from RSL/Alltech Europe. The detector was a variable wavelength UV detector (a Varian 2050 or a similar instrument from Wescan, Kontron, or Jasco) adapted to accept the Micro-LC columns. The technological aspects for converting these detectors to Micro-LC, have been detailed [4].

Ucon-coated columns have been used to isolate nucleotides, such as ribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, and pyridine nucleotides, by capillary zone electrophoresis. This neutral, hydrophilic column coating (Ucon) significantly reduced macromolecule adsorption and electroosmotic flow, which provide
