The CIM® EDA-8f Tube Monolithic Column consists of a unique polymeric monolith encased in a specially designed housing. These columns are amine activated monolithic supports obtained by reacting the native epoxy groups with Ethylene Diamine. These columns are used for fast, highly efficient separations of large molecules such as proteins and DNA, as well as smaller molecules such as peptides. The design of these columns allows the mobile phase to run in a radial direction from the outer to the inner surface. In this way, resolution is preserved during scale-up while maintaining the short separation layer length. This short separation layer length and the specially engineered highly porous structure allow operations at elevated flow rates with low-pressure drops (only a few bar).

To regenerate (to wash out from the monolithic column any ionically bound substances and to reintroduce the correct counter-ion) wash the column with at least 10 column volumes of a buffer containing 2 M NaCl at one-half of the working flow rate. For best results, this should be done at the end of each chromatographic run.
In some cases, the simple regeneration of the monolithic column is not enough. Sample molecules may not fully elute from the column or may even precipitate on the column. This build up of contaminants on the monolithic column may cause loss of resolution and binding capacity, increased back pressure, or a complete blockage of the column. A specific CIP protocol should be designed according to the type of contaminants that are present in your sample. However, in most cases, the following procedures can be used:
1. Removal of precipitated proteins
2. Removal of strongly bound hydrophobic proteins or lipids
Sanitization of the monolithic column is obtained by thoroughly washing it with 1 M NaOH for at least 1 hour at room temperature.
CIM® EDA-8f Tube Monolithic Column be stored at a temperature of +4 °C to +8 °C in the presence of a suitable bacteriostatic agent, e. g. 20% ethanol
