Abstract
Abstract Dual zone reverse phase packing materials for use in liquid chromatographic blood serum analysis are prepared by contacting a porous support, such as porous silica, with a fluorocarbon silane, such as a perfluorobutylsilyl compound, to form a lipophobic phase in the external zone of the porous support, and, then contacting the porous support with a lipophilic silane, such as an octadecylsilyl compound, to form a lipophilic partitioning phase in the internal zone of the porous support. Ketal blocked diol groups, which later may be hydrolyzed to diol groups, are also attached to both zones of the packing materials. The dual zone reverse phase packing materials display a reduced degree of serum protein adsorption in the external zone while drug substances are retained and separated by the lipophilic partitioning phase in the internal zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A dual zone reverse phase packing material for liquid chromatographic columns which comprises a porous support having as an internal zone a lipophilic partitioning phase bonded to the internal surface of said porous support and having as an external zone a lipophobic phase comprising fluorocarbon groups bonded to the external surface of said porous support, whereby proteinaceous substances in an analyte are rejected by said lipophobic fluorocarbon phase in external zone, while small molecules in the analyte to be analyzed are absorbed and retained by said lipophilic partitioning phase in said internal zone, wherein said fluorocarbon groups have the formula: Me 3-m SiC 2 H 4 C n F 2n+1 wherein m is 1-3 and n is 1 or more.
