The following projects are undertaken in the research area of
Program 1: Separation media and materials
Boronate affinity monoliths
Development of new polymeric monolithic stationary phases for
affinity capillary electrochromatography based on boronic acid for
the separation of glycoproteins. In collaboration with LBL Molecular
Foundry, Berkeley.
Monoliths for fast ion chromatography
Investigation of strategies for the preparation of high capacity latex-coated porous polymer monoliths as ion-exchange stationary phases with improved separation performance for fast ion chromatography and capillary ion chromatography. In collaboration with Dionex Corporation.
In-line solid phase extraction capillary electrophoresis for direct determination of drugs in biological fluids
Synthesis of novel polymeric monolithic restricted-access materials for the selective adsorption of drugs and related metabolites from biological samples, suitable for in-line coupling with capillary electrophoresis and application to therapeutic drug monitoring.
Gold-selective ion exchange resins
Development of further ion-exchange resins with high selectivity towards gold (and silver) thiosulfate complexes, based on the use of magnetic ion exchange (MIEX®) resins.
Preparation, characterisation and application of macro-, micro- and nanoporous inorganic monoliths
Monoliths for trace enrichment
Development of new anionic chromatographic monolithic columns for the trace enrichment and separation of cationic target analytes, such as amino acids.
New materials for HILIC
Application of novel grafted stationary phases hydrophilic interaction capillary electrochromatography. This is in collaboration with the University of Umeå.
