A new method for the modification of polypropylene hollow-fiber columns for capillary electrophoresis is reported. Chlorination was first used to activate the capillary inner surface. This was followed by treating the column with an alkaline solution containing polyhydroqpropylcellulose. A protein m

Abstract
Surface treatment methods were developed for bonding of a polyacrylamide layer on the inside surface of polypropylene hollow fiber columns for capillary electrophoresis. Details of different modification procedures involving surface activation and in situ polymerization, using dynamic and static coating of reagents, are described. Both linear and crossβlinked polyacrylamide modified surfaces greatly improved the electrophoretic performance of the capillaries. The column efficiencies for model proteins reached as high as 370,000 theoretical plates on an 85 ΞΌm i.d. polyacrylamide surfacetreated polypropylene hollow fiber column. A variety of applications, including the separation of several very polar compounds at a pH of 10.6, were demonstrated. Reproducibility measurements were used to illustrate the performance and high pH stability of the resultant columns.

Fused-silica capillaries often lack long-term stability and control of electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis owing to the reactivity of the bulk silica structure in aqueous solutions of high or low pH. Polypropylene hollow fibers, an alternative to fused silica, have been chemically modif
