Mixed-mode silica monolith as an efficient separation medium for capillary electrochromatography

Silica monolith column having mixed-mode i.e., hydrophobic (C18) and anion exchange interaction was successfully synthesized by on-column modification of the hybrid tetramethoxysilanes (TMOS) and methyltrimethoxysilanes (MTMS) using octadecyldimethyl-(N-N-diethylamino)silane (ODS) and ion exchange m...
