Polymethacrylate monolithic columns in capillary liquid chromatography

3 Conclusions This Thesis gives chromatographic and structural characteristics of the butyl methacrylate monolithic columns prepared for the capillary liquid chromatography. Results of this Thesis clearly demonstrate the possibility of preparation of capillary monolithic columns with a good repeatability of the principal chromatographic parameters. A completely new technique for preparation of the monolithic columns for use in the on-column detection mode was introduced. Different photometric detection modes were applied to monolithic capillary columns in CLC. The advantages and disadvantages of the on-column detection mode in comparison to the additional detection capillary were studied and described. It was shown that the best separation and the most sensitive quantification in the short analysis time could be reached by using the monolithic columns with detection window placed directry on the separation capillary, just after the stationary phase or within the monolith. The attempts leading to preparation of chiral monolithic stationary phases, which would allow enantioseparation of selected chiral analýes' were not totally successful. No time was left to find the suitable chromatographic conditions for enantioseparations. \
