Abstract

Silica colloids were separated by size-exclusion chromatography and monitored by fluorimetric and UV detection. In the former means of detection, silica colloids were visualized by light-scattering. The signal intensity based on the light scattering increased with increasing size of the silica colloids. The maximum intensity was observed at excitation wavelengths around 270-290nm. In UV detection, silica colloids were visualized based on turbidimetry, and the signal intensity also increased with increasing size of the silica colloids and with decreasing detection wavelength. The signal intensities for both light-scattering and turbidimetric detection were a linear function of the concentration of the silica colloids. The detection limit at S/N=3 for 78-nm colloids was 0.06 ppm for light-scattering detection whereas the LOD was 2.3 ppm for UV detection. Effects of mobile phase conditions and flow rate on resolution and peak shape were examined. Use of phosphate buffer allowed the separation of silica colloids of different sizes in size-exclusion chromatography.
