Porous layer open tubular (PLOT) polystyrene divinylbenzene columns have been used for separating intact proteins with gradient elution. The 10 μm I.D. × 3 m columns were easily coupled to standard liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) instrumentation with commercially available fittings. Standard proteins separated on PLOT columns appeared as narrow and symmetrical peaks with good resolution. Average peak width increased linearly with gradient time (t_G) from 0.14 to 0.33 min (t_G 20 and 120 min, respectively) using a 3 m column. With shorter columns, peak widths were larger and increased more steeply with gradient time. Theoretical peak capacity (n_c) increased with column length (tested up to 3 m). The n_c increased with t_G until a plateau was reached. The highest peak capacity achieved (n_c = 185) was obtained with a 3 m column, where a plateau was reached with t_G 90 min. The within- and between column retention time repeatabilities were below 0.6 % and below 2.5 % (relative standard deviation, RSD), respectively. The carry-over following injection of 0.5 ng per protein was less than 1.1 % . The retention time dependence on column temperature was investigated in the range 20–50 °C. Proteins in a skimmed milk sample were separated using the method.
