ResumoAn array of monolithic poly(styrene/divinylbenzene) capillaries with individual column thermostats was constructed to demonstrate its utility for the separation of nucleic acids, proteins, and tryptic digests in combination with UV absorbance detection. Because of polymerization-related variation in surface area of monolithic columns, the concentration of acetonitrile required for elution of DNA fragments in denaturing HPLC may vary sufficiently to affect the degree of denaturation. Modulation of column temperature offers a convenient way to harmonize elution profiles among columns. Individual regulation of column temperature also provides the means to determine rapidly in a single parallel run the optimum temperature for resolution of biomolecules. Given the high reproducibility of separations among columns and the ease with which poly(styrene/divinylbenzene)-based stationary phases can be modified to accommodate different modes of chromatography, such arrays will find broad applicability in proteogenomics.
