*Abstract

Currently available liquid chromatography columns have an internal diameter (ID) ranging from 75-100 ┬╡m. As a result, such columns are not feasible to analyze the limited amount of samples such as a tumor biopsy, immune precipitated proteins and laser captured micro dissected cells. Moreover, it is observed that narrow bore columns (<50 ┬╡m ID) are difficult to pack due to high pressure requirements. This approach discloses a novel, narrow ID monolithic capillary columns for an efficient separation and analysis, overcoming most prior art limitations.
