Cellufine Phenyl en Butyl
For purification of proteins and macromolecules.
Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) is a method which separates
proteins on the basis of their differential interactions with a mildly
hydrophobic surface.
HIC media are porous chromatography particles, manufactured from crosslinked
cellulose to which either a butyl, phenyl or octyl functionality has been
covalently bonded via a short spacer.
Factors which affect hydrophobic interactions include: salt concentrations,
temperature, pH, surfactant and organic solvents. Usually the higher the ionic
strength (salt concentration) the stronger the hydrophobic bond. Consequently
the interaction is enhanced by conditions inverse to that of ion exchange
chromatography. HIC is, therefore, an effective complementary tool for
separating and purifying substances which are difficult or cannot be separated
by ion exchange.

Hydrophobicity of Matrix:
The degree of hydrophobicity increases in the order of Butyl < Phenyl <
Octyl. In general hydrophobic proteins will be more strongly adsorbed to
Cellufine Octyl than Cellufine Butyl. However, if the protein is too strongly
adsorbed, difficulty may be experienced in elution. The aromatic nature of the
Cellufine Phenyl may, in certain cases, give improved selectivity compared to
either the Butyl or Octyl matrices. Consequently it is difficult to generalize
and each application needs to be evaluated separately to select the optimal
media functionality.

Figure 1. The retention increases with an increase in the
carbon chain and aromatic structure of the functional group as a result of
stronger hydrophobic interaction.
Flow Properties:
The semi-rigid structure of Cellufine HIC, combined with the spherical bead
shape, gives excellent flow rates with higher operating pressures. Flow rates in
excess of 100 cm/hr are achieved at pressure drops of 1 bar, even in large
diameter process columns.
