3.5. Comparison of the work with previous reports
In previous reports, various serum albumin (HSA and BSA) or
cellulase based CSPs have been successfully applied for
enantioseparation research. It would be meaningful to com-
pare the analytical feature of the present method with other
previous reports. As shown in Table 2, an obvious wider
range of chiral recognition ability was obtained on the HSA–
cellulase@poly(GMA–EDMA) monolith with high column effi-
ciency and low reagent consumption except for research.18
In research,18 the introduction of graphene oxide (GO)
improved the chiral selectivity and the scope of the chiral
drugs that could be separated by HSA was extended. However,
without GO, there were only three enantiomers that could be
resolved on the HSA based silica monolith, much less than on
the HSA–cellulase@poly(GMA–EDMA) monolith. Furthermore,
it is worth mentioning that the results acquired from the
enantiomeric separation of tryptophan and warfarin in this
work were better than the related research18 considering the
resolution and separation efficiency. This implied that the
HSA–cellulase@poly(GMA–EDMA) monolith could be expected
to be a promising microscale enantioseparation device.

4. Conclusions
In this work, a novel HSA–cellulase@poly(GMA–EDMA) mono-
lith was successfully prepared and used as a stationary phase
for enantioseparation by CEC. The prepared column exhibited
powerful enantioseparation capability towards different
chemical classes and there were ten chiral compounds that
could be separated on this column. Compared with the
individual HSA or cellulase based CSPs, the HSA–cellulase@
poly(GMA–EDMA) monolith has an even wider range of
applications. These results indicated that mixed selector CSPs
combining the enantioselectivities of individual CSPs could
be a useful tool for chiral separation, particularly in the
simultaneous analysis of racemic mixtures that can only be
resolved on different stationary phases. Further study will
include covalently bonding other proteins onto the monolith
to create other CSPs for the separation of different kinds
of chiral compounds in the same capillary. Additionally,
the strategy used here could be extended to immobilize
different enzymes in one microreactor for proteomic analysis
as well as fabricating dual-enzymatic systems used as a plat-
form to discover multitargeted enzyme-inhibitor drug lead
compounds.
