A micro‐column packed with PDDA‐wrapped MWNTs in sequential injection system facilitates selective sorption of acidic protein species. Proteins adsorbed onto the PDDA‐MWNT composites are afterwards collected by elution with a citrate buffer as stripping reagent. With a sample loading volume of 2.0 mL and an eluent volume of 200 µL, a retention efficiency of 100% and a recovery of 90% are achieved for BSA in the range 6–120 µg, resulting in an enrichment factor of 14. A sampling frequency of 15 h −1 is achieved, along with a precision of 4.5% at 25 µg · mL −1 BSA. The practical applicability of this system is demonstrated by processing human whole blood for successive isolation of acidic proteins.
