Nonporous corundum powder was functionalized covalently with protein binders to isolate and enrich specific proteins from complex matrices.The common crosslinker glutaraldehyde was compared with a hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) of around 10 kDa. The latter was oxidized with periodate to generate aldehyde groups that can covalently react with the amines of the surface and the amino groups from the protein via a reductive amination process. The amount of bound protein was quantified via aromatic amino acid analysis (AAAA). As a proof of concept, IgG was extracted with protein A from crude human plasma. The advantages of corundum include the very low price, extremely high physical and chemical stability, pressure resistance, favorable binding kinetics, convenient handling, and flexible application.
The aim of this work was the preparation of a novel stationary monolithic phase for affinity chromatography and HPLC-applications. Therefore, we have chosen porous glass filters that are available with different pore sizes as raw materials to prepare monolithic columns. We purchased VitraPOR 4 (10-16 μm pore size) and VitraPOR 5 (1.0-1.6 μm pore size) monolithic glass filters. The physical properties of these glass filters were characterized. The surface area, pore size distribution and the porosity were determined using mercury intrusion porosimetry and BET. These glass filters only exhibit flow through pores and therefore show no bimodal pore size distribution in the mercury intrusion curves. Due to their low permeability, the applied filters that exhibit an inner diameter of 8.0 mm and a length of 15.0±0.1 mm could be operated at flow rates more than 10 ml/min. High flow rates are favorable for fast separation experiments.
