| Research Abstract |
In our joint research project "Development of new separation media for isolation of DNAs", under the Monbusho International Scientific Research Program (No. 05044054), the following four subjects have been investigated.
(1) Development of high performance polymer-based separation media. To improve relatively low column efficiency and poor mechanical strength of the column packed with size poly-disperse polymer beads prepared by traditional suspension method, size mono-disperse beads were prepared by two-step swelling and polymerization method. These size mono-disperse beads showed excellent performance and the pore structure was found to be controllable utilizing both of porogenic solvent and seed polymer.
(2) Development of hydrophilic polymer-based packing material. The two-step swelling and polymerization method could afford size-monodisperse poly(glycerol monomethacrylate-co-glycerol dimethacrylate) beads. These beads were enough hydrophilic to prevent retention with polypeptide, while retained hydrophobic small molecules. These characteristics were suitable for purification of hydrophilic large molecules from small molecules.
(3) Development of new rod type separation media. Polymer-based continuous rod type separation media could be prepared in inert PEEK columns. These rod columns involved huge flow-through pores and micropores which was suitable characteristics for isolation of biomolecules. Silica-based rod columns could be also prepared and utilized in reversed-phase mode.
(4) Development of concentration method and treatment of organohalides. Restricted-access separation media were found to be utilized in isolation of toxic poly-chlorinated biphenyl from human serum. These separation media could also concentrate organohalides such as dioxins from aqueous environment which could be decomposed by uv irradiation or sunlight.
