Development of high efficiency separation method for biomolecules

It is becoming increasingly important to separate mixed samples, such as bio- and environmental samples. For the analysis of a target compound in a mixed sample, a highly efficient and selective separation method is required. We have developed columns of high resolution, very selective columns, and highly efficient analytical methods using integrated techniques and biomolecules. These developed methods save analytical time, sample volume, etc. We are now interested in nano scale materials which many people are now focusing on. Although excellent nano materials have been developed by many researchers, there are few efficient separation, purification or evaluation methods for these compounds. In this review, we introduce our recent achievements concerning the separation of nano compounds.
