Novel materials for chromatographic separations, processes for their preparation, and separation devices containing the chromatographic materials. In particular, the novel materials are porous inorganic/organic hybrid monolith materials, which desirably may be surface modified, and which offer more efficient chromatographic separations than that known in the art.

Porous inorganic/organic hybrid monolith materials for chromatographic separations and process for their preparation

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, methods and apparatus for performing separations in which particulates are separated or removed from a fluid stream flowing to a column. In one embodiment directed to a device, the invention includes a body () having a first surface () and a second surface () and at least one wall (). At least one of the first surface () and second surface () is for receiving in sealing engagement a first conduit means. The remaining first surface () or second surface () is for engaging a column or a second conduit (). The at least one wall () extends between the first surface () and the second surface (). The body () has at least one opening () extending from the first surface () to the second surface () defining a chamber for receiving a solid phase separation media assembly (). The device further includes a solid phase separation media assembly () within the chamber formed in the opening of the body between the first surface () and the second surface (). The solid phase separation media assembly () is for removing particulates and undesired materials of a fluid flowing through the chamber. The body is constructed and arranged to fit in a body fitting to be attached to a column or which body fitting is part of an assembly for communicating with an column or a detector.
