Recent Advances in the Preparation and Application of Monolithic Capillary Columns

Researchers from the China Pharmaceutical University in Nanjing, China, have published a review of the recent advances in the preparation and application of monolithic capillary columns in separation science. The publication features a review of three novel preparation strategies for the preparation of capillary monoliths, including ionic liquid-based approaches, nanoparticle-based approaches, and a “click chemistry” approach. Furthermore, the article summarizes the recent strategies utilized in constructing different capillary monoliths for enantiomeric separation, and describes the advancement of capillary monoliths for complex sample analysis.
