The development of new home‐made stationary phases involves their packaging procedure and is crucial to obtain satisfactory working parameters. The parameter that illustrates the quality of the packed bed is its efficiency measured as the height equivalent to the theoretical plate. According to the Van Deemetr's equation, it depends on three factors, but only one of them, eddy diffusion, does not depend on the linear flow velocity. Therefore, in order to obtain it as low as possible, it is necessary to focus on a good filling of the column. Among many parameters affecting the quality of column packing, in our work we have focused on the choice of slurry solvent. Novel stationary phases with an embedded phosphodiester group were investigated. The suspensions in 16 solvents and solvent mixtures were studied for their stability, aggregation, sedimentation, and viscosity comparison. The efficiency of the packed microcolumns and its comparison was determined by chromatographic analyses using a polar (thymidine) and a nonpolar compound (naphthalene). The results obtained led to the conclusion that for these stationary phases, the best slurry solvent is the one that aggregates the phase while maintaining stability and having high viscosity.
