Abstract
It is well known that high-speed/high-efficiency separations in nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) are very sensitive to the quality of the connections between the column and the rest of the instrument. In the present study, two types of connection errors (capillary misalignment and the occurrence of an inter-capillary gap) have been investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Interestingly, it has been found that large degrees of capillary misalignment (assuming an otherwise perfect contact between the capillary end-faces) can be afforded without introducing any significant dispersion over the entire range of investigated relative misalignment errors (0 ≤ ε/dcap ≤ 75%), even at the largest flow rates considered in nano-LC. On the other hand, when an inter-capillary gap is present, the dispersion very rapidly increases with the radial width Dc of this gap (extra variance ∼Dcn with n even reaching values above 4). The dependency on the gap length Lc is however much smaller. Results show that, when Dc ≤ 30 μm and Lc ≤ 200 μm, dispersion losses can be limited to the order of 1 nL2 at a flow of 1.5 μL/min, which is generally very small compared to the dispersion in the capillaries (20 μm i.d.) themselves. This result also reconfirms that zero-dead volume connectors with a sufficiently narrow bore can in theory be used without compromising peak dispersion in nano-LC, at least when the capillaries can be matched perfectly to the connector in- and outlet faces. The results are also indicative of the extra dispersion occurring inside microfluidic chips or in the connections between a microfluidic chip and the outer world.

Abstract
We report on a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study of the extra dispersion caused by the change in diameter when coupling two pieces of capillary tubing with different diameter. In this first investigation into the problem, the focus is on the typical flow rates (0.25≤F≤2μL/min) and diameters (d≤40μm) used in nano-LC, considering both the case of either a doubling or halving of the diameter. The CFD simulations allow to study the problem from a fundamental point of view, i.e., under otherwise perfect conditions (perfect alignment, zero dead-volume). Flow rates, capillary diameters, diffusion coefficients and liquid viscosities have been varied over a range relevant for nano-LC (Reynolds-numbers Re ≤ 1), with also an excursion made towards high-temperature nano-LC conditions (Re ≥ 10 and more). The extra dispersion caused by the change in diameter has been quantified via a volumetric variance σ2conn, defined in such a way that the overall dispersion across the entire capillary system can be easily reconstructed from the known analytical solutions in the individual segments. When the two capillaries are longer than their diffusion entry length, covering most of the practical cases, σ2conn converges to a limiting value σ2conn,∞ which varies to a close approximation with the square of flow rate. Under the investigated nano-LC conditions, the σ2conn,∞-values are surprisingly small (e.g., on the order of 0.01 to 0.15 nL2 in a 20 to 40μm connection) compared to the dispersion occurring in the remainder of the capillaries.

Abstract
Types of particles have been fundamental to LC separation technology for many years. Originally, LC columns were packed with large-diameter (>100 μm) calcium carbonate, silica gel, or alumina particles that prohibited fast mobile-phase speeds because of the slow diffusion of sample molecules inside deep pores. During the birth of HPLC in the 1960s, superficially porous particles (SPP, ≥30 μm) were developed as the first high-speed stationary-phase support structures commercialized, which permitted faster mobile-phase flowrates due to the fast movement of sample molecules in/out of the thin shells. These initial SPPs were displaced by smaller totally porous particles (TPP) in the mid-1970s. But SPP history repeated when UHPLC emerged in the 2000s. Stationary-phase support structures made from sub-3-μm SPPs were introduced to chromatographers in 2006. The initial purpose of this modern SPP was to enable chromatographers to achieve fast separations with high efficiency using conventional HPLCs. Later, the introduction of sub-2-μm SPPs with UHPLC instruments pushed the separation speed and efficiency to a very fast zone. This review aims at providing readers a comprehensive and up-to-date view on the advantages of SPP materials over TPPs historically and theoretically from the material science angle.

Abstract
A new, trilobal-shaped capillary-channeled polymer fiber is under development to address the issues of poor A-term performance of the previous eight-channeled form. The trilobal geometry should provide better packing homogeneity due to the fewer potential orientations of the symmetric fiber geometry. Comparisons of separation efficiency and peak shape were made between the two fiber shapes through several dynamic parameters. Column hydrodynamics were investigated with two marker compounds, uracil and bovine serum albumin, with van Deemter plots of those two compounds revealing differences in the packing qualities between the different fiber shapes. Parametric fitting to the van Deemter, Knox, and Giddings equations provides insights into the column physical structures. Separation quality for both shapes was evaluated across differences in fiber packing density, gradient rate, and mobile phase linear velocity for the reversed phase separation of a four protein mixture, containing ribonuclease A, cytochrome c, lysozyme, and myoglobin. The results of this study lay the ground work for future efforts in the use of trilobal fibers for the separation of biomacromolecules.

Abstract
A templating strategy using crosslinked and functionalized polymeric beads to synthesize silica microspheres with a broad pore size distribution has been developed. The polymer/silica hybrid microspheres were prepared by utilizing the combination of a templating weak cation exchange resin, a structure-directing agent N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride, and a silica precursor tetraethyl orthosilicate. The silica microspheres were then obtained after calcinating the hybrid microspheres. The as-prepared materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, mercury intrusion porosimeter, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results showed that the starting templating beads were about 5 μm in diameter and the formed silica microspheres were less than 3 μm with a pore size range of 10-150 nm, some pores were even extended to beyond 250 nm. It was demonstrated that cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) was readily coated onto the surface of the as-synthesized silica microspheres without any additional surface pretreatment. The coated silica microspheres were uniformly dispersed even with high loading of the chiral stationary phase, which exhibited high resolution chiral separations in high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Background: Polypharmacy is a common practice in schizophrenia. Consequently, therapeutic drug monitoring is usually adopted to maintain the concentrations of the drugs in the plasma within a targeted therapeutic range, to maximize therapeutic efficiency and to diminish adverse side effects. Methodology: This study reports on a column switching UHPLC–MS/MS method to determine psychotropic drugs in plasma samples simultaneously. Results: The method was linear from 0.025 to 1.25 ng ml-1 with R2 above 0.9950 and the lack of fit test (p > 0.05). The precision values presented coefficients of variation lower than 12%, and the relative standard error of the accuracy were lower than 14%. Conclusion: The column switching UHPLC–MS/MS method developed herein successfully determined drugs in schizophrenic patients’ plasma samples for therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
In this work we characterize the development of a method to enhance temperature-assisted on-column solute focusing (TASF) called two-stage TASF. A new instrument was built to implement two-stage TASF consisting of a linear array of three independent, electronically controlled Peltier devices (thermoelectric coolers, TECs). Samples are loaded onto the chromatographic column with the first two TECs, TEC A and TEC B, cold. In the two-stage TASF approach TECs A and B are cooled during injection. TEC A is heated following sample loading. At some time following TEC A's temperature rise, TEC B's temperature is increased from the focusing temperature to a temperature matching that of TEC A. Injection bands are focused twice on-column, first on the initial TEC, e.g. single-stage TASF, then refocused on the second, cold TEC. Our goal is to understand the two-stage TASF approach in detail. We have developed a simple yet powerful digital simulation procedure to model the effect of changing temperature in the two focusing zones on retention, band shape and band spreading. The simulation can predict experimental chromatograms resulting from spatial and temporal temperature programs in combination with isocratic and solvent gradient elution. To assess the two-stage TASF method and the accuracy of the simulation well characterized solutes are needed. Thus, retention factors were measured at six temperatures (25-75°C) at each of twelve mobile phases compositions (0.05-0.60 acetonitrile/water) for homologs of n-alkyl hydroxylbenzoate esters and n-alkyl p-hydroxyphenones. Simulations accurately reflect experimental results in showing that the two-stage approach improves separation quality. For example, two-stage TASF increased sensitivity for a low retention solute by a factor of 2.2 relative to single-stage TASF and 8.8 relative to isothermal conditions using isocratic elution. Gradient elution results for two-stage TASF were more encouraging. Application of two-stage TASF increased peak height for the least retained solute in the test mixture by a factor of 3.2 relative to single-stage TASF and 22.3 compared to isothermal conditions for an injection four-times the column volume. TASF improved resolution and increased peak capacity; for a 12-min separation peak capacity increased from 75 under isothermal conditions to 146 using single-stage TASF, and 185 for two-stage TASF.

Abstract
In recent years, neuropeptides and their receptors have received an increased interest in neuropharmacological research. Although these molecules are considered relatively small compared with proteins, their in vivo quantification using microdialysis is more challenging than for small molecules. Low microdialysis recoveries, aspecific adsorption and the presence of various multiply charged precursor ions during ESI-MS/MS detection hampers the in vivo quantification of these low abundant biomolecules. Every step in the workflow, from sampling until analysis, has to be optimized to enable the sensitive analysis of these compounds in microdialysates.

Abstract
Solvent-based on-column focusing is a powerful and well known approach for reducing the impact of pre-column dispersion in liquid chromatography. Here we describe an orthogonal temperature-based approach to focusing called temperature-assisted on-column solute focusing (TASF). TASF is founded on the same principles as the more commonly used solvent-based method wherein transient conditions are created that lead to high solute retention at the column inlet. Combining the low thermal mass of capillary columns and the temperature dependence of solute retention TASF is used effectively to compress injection bands at the head of the column through the transient reduction in column temperature to 5°C for a defined 7mm segment of a 6cm long 150μm I.D. column. Following the 30s focusing time, the column temperature is increased rapidly to the separation temperature of 60°C releasing the focused band of analytes. We developed a model to simulate TASF separations based on solute retention enthalpies, focusing temperature, focusing time, and column parameters. This model guides the systematic study of the influence of sample injection volume on column performance. All samples have solvent compositions matching the mobile phase. Over the 45-1050nL injection volume range evaluated, TASF reduces the peak width for all solutes with k' greater than or equal to 2.5, relative to controls. Peak widths resulting from injection volumes up to 1.3 times the column fluid volume with TASF are less than 5% larger than peak widths from a 45nL injection without TASF (0.07 times the column liquid volume). The TASF approach reduced concentration detection limits by a factor of 12.5 relative to a small volume injection for low concentration samples. TASF is orthogonal to the solvent focusing method. Thus, it can be used where on-column focusing is required, but where implementation of solvent-based focusing is difficult.
