A composite chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from bovine serum albumin (BSA) and β-cyclodextrin (CD)-bonded silica was prepared. 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine was used as a cross-linker. The obtained CSP was applied to the enantioseparation of tryptophan, hydrobenzoin, phenylalanine and mandelic acid. The influences of eluent pH value, organic modifier and column temperature on the retention and enantioseparation were discussed. Tryptophan and hydrobenzoin achieved excellent resolution on the composite CSP. For tryptophan, the highest selectivity, 2.79, was achieved with 1% of methanol at pH 8.0. For hydrobenzoin, the selectivity could reach 1.42. The chromatographic results were compared with that on β-CD-bonded or BSA-immobilized CSP.
