A novel spiral tube support is introduced which allows accommodating a multlilayer spiral column made of a long piece of fluorinated plastic tubing. Two spiral columns tested in this study consist of 1.6mm ID and 0.85mm ID FEP (fluorinated ethylenepropylene) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing with the total capacity of 100mL and 40mL, respectively. Performance of these spiral columns was examined with a two phase solvent system composed of 1-butanol/acetic acid/water at a volume ratio of 4:1:5 using tryptophyl-tyrosine (try-tyr) and valyl-tyrosine (val-tyr) as test samples under various revolution speeds and flow rates. Among 4 different elution modes tested, L-I-T (lower phase pumped from the internal head end of the spiral column) and U-O-H (upper phase pumped from the external tail of the spiral column) at a low flow rate produced the best results especially for both columns. The highest peak resolution (Rs) of over 3.5 was obtained from U-O-H at a flow rate of 1mL/min with 74% stationary phase retention. At a flow rate of 5mL/min, the highest revolution speed at 1,200rpm improved the peak resolution in both elution modes. The present system may be useful for purification of various polar compounds in biomedical researches.
