The microstructure of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) beads for affinity chromatography bioseparations was studied by TEM of stained ultramicrotomed thin-sections. Microstructural aspects such as overall pore size distribution, the distribution of pores within the beads, and surface coverage of functionalized beads affect performance properties. Stereological methods are used to quantify the internal structure of these chromatographic supports. Details of the process for making the PAN beads are given elsewhere. TEM specimens were obtained by vacuum impregnation with a low-viscosity epoxy and sectioning with a diamond knife. The beads can be observed unstained. However, different surface functionalities can be made evident by selective staining. Amide surface coverage was studied by staining in vapor of a 0.5.% RuO4 aqueous solution for 1 h. RuO4 does not stain PAN but stains, amongst many others, polymers containing an amide moiety.
