Abstract

The achievable separation performance of a 9 cm long pillar array channel containing 5 μm diameter silicon pillars (spacing 2.5 μm) cladded with a meso-porous silica layer with a thickness of 300 nm was investigated, interfacing the chip to a capillary LC instrument. The overall performance was evaluated by conducting gradient elution separations of digests of cytochrome c and bovine serum albumin. Peak capacities of up to 150 could be demonstrated.
