| Abstract | :  A new method combining ion-exchange displacement chromatography with centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) was used for the fractionation of partially depolymerized fucans (polysulphated polysaccharides). The ion-exchanger was Amberlite LA2, a high-molecular-mass liquid secondary amine miscible with most common organic solvents and immiscible with aqueous solutions. Ion-exchange displacement centrifugal partition chromatography was performed with LA2 in methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK) as the stationary phase, water as the mobile phase, Cl- as the carrier and OH- as the displacer. A complex mixture of partially depolymerized fucans was resolved into adjacent families characterized by their peak molecular mass and polydispersity. The Dubois test (sugar) and the azur A test (SO3-) confirmed the displacement mode of the process, and size-exclusion chromatographic controls confirmed its efficiency. |
