This research demonstrates improved chiral separation with a novel silica microsphere method, suggesting new horizons for chromatography.

To enhance chiral separation performance by precision manufacturing of macroporous silica microspheres.
Utilized a droplet microfluidic synthesis platform for manufacturing
Integrated sol-gel chemistry with phase-separation
Prepared monodisperse macroporous silica with narrow pore size distribution
Compared the performance of the new Mono-CSP with the classical Chiralcel OD-H column
The Mono-CSP exhibited significantly improved resolution in enantioseparation compared to Chiralcel OD-H
90.5% of 42 tested enantiomers showed higher retention factors on the Mono-CSP
93% achieved enhanced resolution on the Mono-CSP than on Chiralcel with the same functional group

Chen et al. (2026) studied this question.
