Method and system for separating analytes

Abstract

A method and device for performing chromatography includes placing a monolithic polymer layer in contact with a liquid mobile phase. The monolithic polymer layer may be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. A first electrode and second electrode are coupled to the monolithic polymer layer. An electrical potential is created between the first electrode and the second electrode. In some embodiments, the monolithic polymer layer may be placed in a sealed chamber, which may have a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. Additionally, in some embodiments, the mobile phase is advanced through the monolithic polymer layer via one of a number of forced flow techniques.
