Abstract
A column used for high speed liquid chromatography which is characterized in (a) eminent separating ability suitable for microanalysis while having a small internal diameter, (b) minimizing the separation impediment due to minute flaws, tiny recesses or the like on the inner surface thereof, and (c) facilitating packing operation of particulate packing or support material thereinto, by enabling the material to closely contact not only with each other but also with the inner surface of the column that can yield to a necessary extent.
Claims5
A column for use in high speed liquid chromatography which is constructed by closely packing a solid phase in a hollow tubular body, said column comprising:
- a solid phase wherein the composing solid particles, having a substantially uniform particle size of a sphere having a diameter less than 0.10 mm, are packed in said tubular body in close contact relationship with each other;
- and
- a tubular body having an inner diameter less than 1.0 mm, which is made of fluoro-carbon resin, and which is deformed to be adapted to the particles located at the radially outermost position, for permiting all of the particles confronting with the inner surface thereof to closely contact therewith, substantially leaving no void spaces therebetween.
