The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $480,000 Project Grant to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to improve the separation of complex biological samples by exploring the use of mixed-mode gradient stationary phases for liquid chromatography (LC). This 3-year project, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to develop new approaches to strategically modify particle-packed silica columns with functionalized monochlorosilanes in a gradient fashion. The researchers will vary the steepness of the gradients and optimize them when coupled with a mobile phase gradient to achieve improved selectivity and band compression in the separation of biomolecules like proteins, peptides, and monoclonal antibodies. Experimental work will be combined with simulation methods to predict the chromatographic response and optimize column fabrication, aiming to impact fields such as proteomics, lipidomics, and two-dimensional LC separations.
