Next, separately from the oil phase, 10.0 g of PVA-224 (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of saponification of 87.0% to 89.0%) as a dispersion stabilizer and 10.0 g of sodium chloride as a salting-out agent were dissolved in 480 g of ion exchanged water to provide an aqueous phase.
The aqueous phase and the oil phase were placed in a separable flask and dispersed at a rotation speed of 430 rpm for 20 minutes using a stirring rod equipped with a half-moon stirring blade, then the inside of the reactor was purged with nitrogen, and the reaction was carried out at 60° C. for 16 hours.
After that, the resulting polymer was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with hot water at about 50 to 80° C., denatured alcohol, and water in the order presented to obtain 100.4 g of a porous particle (carrier al).
The amount of glycidyl methacrylate used was 79.8 mol % based on the total amount of the monomers, and the amount of glycerin-1,3-dimethacrylate used was 20.2 mol % based on the total amount of the monomers.
<Step (B): Introduction reaction of alkylene group>
98 g of the carrier α1 was weighed onto a glass filter and thoroughly cleaned with diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. After cleaning, the carrier α1 was placed in a 1 L separable flask, 150 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and 150 g (920 mol % based on glycidyl methacrylate) of 1,4-butanediol were placed in the separable flask, and stirring and dispersion were carried out.
After that, 1.5 ml of a boron trifluoride diethyl ether complex was added, the temperature was raised to 80° C. while stirring at 200 rpm, and the resulting mixture was subjected to the reaction for 4 hours.
The mixture was cooled, then the porous particle (carrier β1) bonded to a diol compound including an alkylene group in the structure thereof was collected by filtration and then washed with 1 L of ion exchanged water to obtain 152 g of a carrier β1.
The progress of the reaction was confirmed by the following procedure.
A part of the dry porous particle into which an alkylene group had been introduced was mixed with potassium bromide, and the resulting mixture was pelletized by applying a pressure and then measured using FT-IR (trade name: Nicolet (registered trademark) iS10, manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) to check the height of an absorbance peak at 908 cm−1 due to the glycidyl group in the infrared absorption spectrum.
As a result, no absorbance peak at 908 cm−1 was observed by FT-IR.
<Step (C): Introduction Reaction of Glycidyl Group>
150 g of the carrier β1 was weighed onto a glass filter and thoroughly cleaned with dimethylsulfoxide.
After cleaning, the carrier β1 was placed in a separable flask, 262.5 g of dimethyl sulfoxide and 150 g of epichlorohydrin were added, the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature, 37.5 ml of a 30% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (manufactured by KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC.) was further added, and the resulting mixture was heated to 30° C. and stirred for 6 hours.
After completion of the reaction, the obtained product was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with water, acetone, and water in the order presented to obtain 172 g of a porous particle into which a glycidyl group had been introduced (carrier γ1).
The introduction density of the glycidyl group in the obtained carrier γ1 was measured by the following procedure.
5.0 g of the carrier γ1 was sampled, and the dry mass thereof was measured and as a result, found to be 1.47 g. Next, the same amount of the carrier γ1 was weighed into a separable flask and dispersed in 40 g of water, 16 mL of diethylamine was added while stirring at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with water to obtain a porous particle A into which diethylamine had been introduced.
The obtained porous particle A was transferred into a beaker and dispersed in 150 mL of a 0.5 mol/L potassium chloride aqueous solution, and titration was carried out using 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid with the point at which the pH reached 4.0 as the neutralization point.
From this, the amount of diethylamine introduced into the porous particle A into which diethylamine had been introduced was calculated, and the density of the glycidyl group of the carrier γ1 was calculated from the following expression.
As a result, the density of the glycidyl group was 880 μmol/g.
Density(μmol/g) of glycidyl group={0.1×volume(μL) of hydrochloric acid at neutralization point/dry mass(g) of porous particle into which glycidyl group has been introduced}<Step (D): Introduction Reaction of Polyol>
150 g of the carrier γ1, 600 mL of water, and 1000 g (13000 mol % based on glycidyl group) of D-sorbitol (log P=−2.20, manufactured by KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC.) were placed in a 3 L separable flask and stirred to form a dispersion.

The mixture was cooled, and then the reaction product was collected by filtration and washed thoroughly with water to obtain 152 g of a porous particle into which polyol had been introduced (carrier 61).
The obtained carrier 61 was classified into 16 to 37 μm using a sieve to obtain 140.5 g of a packing material 1.
<Evaluation of Alkali Resistance>
The alkali resistance was evaluated by calculating the amount of a carboxy group produced by hydrolysis of sodium hydroxide according to the following procedure.
First, 4 g of the packing material was dispersed in 150 mL of a 0.5 mol/L potassium chloride aqueous solution, and titration was carried out using 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with the point at which the pH reached 7.0 as the neutralization point. From this, the amount of a carboxy group before hydrolysis included in the packing material was calculated from the following expression.
Amount(μmol/mL) of carboxy group=0.1×volume(μL) of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at the time of neutralization/apparent volume (mL) of packing material
Here, the apparent volume of the packing material is the volume of the packing material phase measured after preparing a slurry liquid by dispersing 4 g of the packing material in water, transferring the slurry liquid to a graduated cylinder, and then allowing the same to stand for a sufficient time.
Subsequently, 4 g of the packing material was weighed into a separable flask, 20 mL of a 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added, and the resulting mixture was treated at 50° C. for 20 hours while stirring at 200 rpm. The mixture was cooled, then the packing material was collected by filtration, then washed with a 0.1 mol/L HCl aqueous solution and water in the order presented, and the amount of a carboxy group contained in the obtained packing material was calculated by the same method as above. From the difference between the amount of a carboxy group before and that after the reaction with the 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, the amount of a carboxy group produced by the reaction with the 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was calculated. As a result, the amount of a carboxy group produced was 21 μmol/mL.
If the amount of a carboxy group produced is 40 μmol/mL or less, the alkali resistance is considered to be high.
<Evaluation of Non-Specific Adsorption>
The obtained packing material was packed into a stainless steel column (manufactured by Sugiyama Shoji Co., Ltd.) having an inner diameter of 8 mm and a length of 300 mm by a balanced slurry method. Using the obtained column, a non-specific adsorption test was carried out by the method shown below.

The elution time of each observed using the photodiode array detector at a wavelength of 280 nm was compared to confirm that there was no contradiction between the order of elution volume and the order of molecular weight size.

Results of the above Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 1.
From the above results, by adopting the configuration of the present invention, a packing material having suppressed non-specific adsorption and high alkali resistance can be obtained.
When no hydrophobic portion is provided or when the alkylene chain is short, the alkali resistance is low as shown in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In addition, it was found that when the alkylene chain is too long or when no hydrophilic portion is provided, the hydrophobicity is strong, and non-specific adsorption is induced as shown in Comparative Examples 3 and 4. In addition, in Comparative Example 5 having many repeating units derived from a polyfunctional monomer, it was found that non-specific adsorption was induced, and in Comparative Example 6 having fewer repeating units derived from a polyfunctional monomer, it was found that the back pressure applied to the apparatus was high, making column packing difficult.
