A neutral, nonpolar monolithic capillary column having a relatively strong electroosmotic flow (EOF) yet free of electrostatic interactions with charged solutes was developed for the reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography (RP-CEC) of neutral and charged species including peptides and proteins. The neutral nonpolar monolith is based on the in situ polymerization of pentaerythritol diacrylate monostearate (PEDAS) in a ternary porogenic solvent composed of cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol, and water. PEDAS plays the role of both the cross-linker and the ligand provider, generating a macroporous nonpolar monolith having C17 chains as the chromatographic ligands. Despite the fact that the neutral PEDAS monolith is devoid of fixed charges, the monolithic capillary columns exhibited a relatively strong EOF due to the ability of PEDAS to adsorb sufficient amounts of electrolyte ions from the mobile phase. The adsorbed ions imparted the neutral PEDAS monolith the zeta potential necessary to support the EOF required for mass transport across the monolithic column. The absence of fixed charges on the surface of the neutral PEDAS monolith and in turn the adsorption sites for electrostatic attraction of charged solutes allowed the rapid and efficient separations of proteins and peptides at pH 7.0, with an average plate number of 255000 and 121000 plates/m, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this constitutes the first report on the separation of proteins at neutral pH by RP-CEC using a neutral monolithic column.
