<p>Coated capillary electrophoresis columns and methods for their use in electrophoretic separations are disclosed. The coated capillary columns include a length of tubing having an interior surface having an interconnected polymeric coating. The interconnected polymeric coating includes a hydrophobic polymeric functionality covalently bound to the interior surface and a hydrophilic polymer interconnected with the hydrophobic polymeric functionality. Exemplary columns are prepared by causing an Si-OH reactive compound, having a hydrophilic polymeric functionality, to react with Si-OH functionalities on the interior surface of capillary columns. Then causing a hydrophilic monomer to polymerize in contact with the hydrophobic polymeric functionality forms a coating of interconnecting hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers.</p> |
