Hey Matt,
it seems to me that what you're asking for is chromatofocusing. See the
official GE documentation:

The proprietary buffers are a bit expensive, but as you found out,
they're a bit complicated to make. I don't know if you'd ruin your Mono
Q with a pH gradient. If in doubt, buy one of the dedicated Mono P column.
Hope that helps.
