24. For fractionation in THF as eluent, small secondary peaks were observed at small elution volumes for some HBP samples. These were initially believed to be due to aggregates which did not fit into any of the pores in the columns and hence elute together at early elution times before the exclusion limit of the columns. However we found that the addition of acetic acid suppressed the secondary peaks and we now believe that the small secondary peaks may instead be due to an ionic exclusion effect. This is where the sample accumulates partial negative charges due to the presence of polar carbonyl groups. The carbonyl groups induce charge in the eluent and therefore at the surface of the packing material. The polymer charges interact with partial charges on the surface of the packing material and result in "ionic exclusion", where the sample is repelled from the column media surface and is ejected from the column before the exclusion limit of the column. The addition of a little acetic acid suppresses the formation of charge and reduces ionic interaction, leading the sample to elute normally.
