Abstract
The preparation of open tubular liquid chromatographic columns with small inner diameters (โค 20 ฮผm) from Pyrex 7740 borosilicate glass is described. The surface area of the inner wall of the capillary is increased by etching with a series of acidic and basic solutions. Dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane is then reacted with the column wall to create a bonded stationary phase layer. The resulting columns exhibit good retention and high efficiency. The effects of each step in the etching process are examined and the silanization reaction is optimized.
