Abstract
Relative hydrophilicity of poly(glyceryl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) beads before and after modification with epichlorohydrin followed by hydrolysis has been studied. The hydrophilicity was determined from the retention of human serum albumin in a column packed with the polymers using various mobile phases. Hydrophilization dramatically decreases the extent of human serum albumin adsorption and provides beads suitable for size-exclusion HPLC of hydrophobic proteins.
