Double gradient ion chromatography on a short carboxybetaine coated monolithic anion exchanger

Abstract

An ultra-short 1.0 x 0.46 cm carboxybetaine coated monolithic anion exchanger has been used with a new double gradient ion chromatography (DG-IC) technique. The novel monolithic column can be used with flow rate gradients giving excellent peak efficiencies, and retention times can be simultaneously reduced through combining flow gradients with an eluent pH gradient.
