Example 2 Weak Affinity Chromatography WAC

Due to the only moderate separation power, very few examples of WAC have been described in the literature, apart from enantioselective separations of racemates by molecular imprints (MIP), which typically require the separation of only two species. 

In Fig. 4, the separation of some monosaccharides is illustrated [21]. For WAC this is a relatively complex sample. Wheatgerm agglutinin, a lectin (sugar-binding
