Its retention mechanism was found to follow RP/HILIC/IEX mixed-mode.The stop-flow test revealed that TMSP had good compatibility with 100% aqueous mobile phase. It demonstrated effective separation towards several kinds of compounds or drug molecules and their counterions within a single run.展开更多

The reason to form a 'U' shape retention curve of proteins hi both HIC and IEC was explained and the concentration range of the strongest elution ability for the mobile phase was determined with this equation. The parameters in this equation could be used to characterize the difference for either HIC or IEC adsorbents and the changes in the molecular conformation of proteins. With the parameters in this equation, the contributions of salt and water in the mobile phase to the protein retention in HIC and IEC were discussed, respectively. In addition, the comparison between the unified equation and Melander' s three-parameter equation for mixed-mode interaction chromatography was also investigated and better results were obtained in former equation.展开更多
