The object of the present invention is to provide a packing material and a separation method that manifest excellent hydrophilic interactions.
The present invention provides a packing material for hydrophilic interaction chromatography consisting of a modified support treated with the surface modifier represented by the following formula (6) or (7).
(In this formula, m denotes 2-6 and n denotes 1-4. X1, X2, and X3, independent of each other, denote a methoxy group, ethoxy group, or halogen. Up to two of X1, X2, and X3 can be any of the following groups: a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, isopropyl group, butyl group, or isobutyl group.)
