Abstract
A column for adsorbing a component in a sample has a tubular member through which a sample flows. The column also has a stationary phase housed in the tubular member and formed by an aggregate of a plurality of particles. At least a portion of surfaces of the particles is made of the same material as at least a portion of an inner wall surface of the tubular member so that a component in the sample is adsorbed on both of the surfaces of the particles and the inner wall surface of the tubular member.

A column for adsorbing a component in a sample, the column comprising:
- a tubular member through which a sample flows;
- and
- a stationary phase housed in the tubular member and formed by an aggregate of a plurality of particles, at least a portion of surfaces of the particles being made of a same material as at least a portion of an inner wall surface of the tubular member so that a component in the sample is adsorbed on both of the surfaces of the particles and the inner wall surface of the tubular member.
A method of manufacturing a column, the method comprising:
- filling a plurality of particles for a stationary phase into a tubular member;
- and
- performing a heat treatment on the tubular member filled with the plurality of particles to fix the plurality of particles to each other for forming the stationary phase and to fix a portion of the stationary phase to an inner wall surface of the tubular member.
