High performance anion-exchange chromatographic packing composition

Abstract

An improved pellicular type (agglomerated) anion-exchange chromatographic packing composition which comprises: Component A, a substrate which consists essentially of particles of insoluble synthetic resin, having cation-exchanging sites at least on their available surfaces, the Component A particles being of a diameter of between about 5 to 75 microns and of low porosity relative to Component B microparticles, described below, and Component B, which consists essentially of microparticles of insoluble synthetic resin, having a volume average diameter of less than about 900 and greater than about 50 Angstroms, the microparticles having anion-exchanging sites, at least on their outer surfaces, which attract available cation sites of Component A, wherein the microparticles of Component B are attached as a monolayer to the available surfaces of the Component A particles.
