β¦ Synopsis
Proteins and peptides were separated in the reversed-phase mode on microcolumns packed with nonporous octadecyl-group bonded silica gel with an average particle diameter of 4.5 or 20 pm. Separation columns were prepared from glass-lined stainless steel tubing of 39 or 56-mm x 0.5-mm i.d. An artificial mixture of several proteins could be separated within 1 min by split-flow gradient elution. The system was applied to the separation of a triptic digest of mouse amyloid A. On-column sample enrichment allowed direct injection of 2-5 pL of sample solution, leading to improved detectability.
The limits of detection were < 1 pg mL-'.
