Abstract
Oxylipins are important low abundant signaling molecules in living organisms. In platelets they play a primary role in platelet activation and aggregation in the course of thrombotic events. In vivo, they are enzymatically synthesized by cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, or cytochrome P450 isoenzmes, resulting in diverse polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) metabolites including hydroxy-, epoxy-, oxo-FAs, and endoperoxides with pro-thrombotic or anti-thrombotic effects. In a recent study, it was reported that hemin induces platelet death which was accompanied by enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (measured by flow cytometry) and lipid peroxidation (as determined by proxy using flow cytometry with BODIPY-C11 as sensor). Lipidomic studies further indicated significant changes of the platelet lipidome upon ex vivo hemin treatment, amongst others oxylipins were increased. The effect could be (at least partly) reversed by riociguat/diethylamine NONOate diethylammonium salt (DEA/NO) which modulates the soluble guanylate cyclase(sGC)-cGMP-cGMP-dependent protein kinase I(cGKI) signaling axis. In the original work, oxylipins were measured by a non-enantioselective UHPLC-tandem-MS assay which may not give the full picture whether oxylipin elevation is due to ROS or by enzymatic processes. We present here the study of the stereochemical disposition of hemin-induced platelet lipidome alterations using Chiralpak IA-U column with amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral selector immobilized on 1.6 µm silica particles. It was found that the major platelet oxylipins 12-HETE, 12-HEPE and 14-HDoHE (from 12-LOX) and 12-HHT (from COX-1) were present in S-configuration indicating their enzymatic formation. On the other hand, both R and S enantiomers of 9- and 13-HODE, 11- and 15-HETE were detected, possibly due to enzyme promiscuity rather than non-specific oxidation (by ROS or autoxidation), as confirmed by multi-loop based two-dimensional LC-MS using selective comprehensive mode with achiral RPLC in the 1st dimension and chiral LC in the 2nd using a multiple heart-cutting interface. For 12-HETrE, a peak at the retention time of the R-enantiomer was ruled out as isobaric interference by 2D-LC-MS. In particular, arachidonic acid derivates 12(S)-HHT, 11(R)-HETE and 15(S)-HETE were found to be sensitive to hemin and cGMP modulation.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction (liquid) chromatography (HILIC) has become the first choice LC mode for the separation of hydrophilic analytes. Numerous studies reported the poor retention time repeatability of HILIC. The problem was often ascribed to slow equilibration and insufficient re-equilibration time to establish the sensitive semi-immobilized water layer at the interface of the polar stationary phase and the bulk mobile phase. In this study, we compare retention time repeatability in HILIC for borosilicate glass and PFA (co-polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkoxyethylene) solvent bottles. During this study, we observed peak patterns shifting towards higher retention times (for metabolites and peptides) and lower retention times (oligonucleotide sample) with ongoing analysis time when standard borosilicate glass bottles were used as solvent reservoirs. It was hypothesized that release of ions (sodium, potassium, borate, etc.) from the borosilicate glass bottles leads to alterations (thickness and electrostatic screening effects) in the semi-immobilized water layer which is adsorbed to the polar stationary phase surface under acetonitrile-rich eluents in HILIC with concomitant shifts in retention. When PFA solvent bottles were employed instead of borosilicate glass, retention time repeatability was greatly improved and changed from average 8.4 % RSD for the tested metabolites with borosilicate glass bottles to 0.14 % RSD for the PFA solvent bottles (30 injections over 12 h). Similar improvements were observed for peptides and oligonucleotides. This simple solution to the retention time repeatability problem in HILIC might contribute to a better acceptance of HILIC, especially in fields like targeted and untargeted metabolomics, peptide and oligonucleotide analysis.

Niezen LE, Desmet G. A new chromatographic response function with automatically adapting weight factor for automated method development. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1727:465008.

Abstract
A critical factor for automated method development in chromatography is the maximization or minimization of an objective function describing the quality (and speed) of the separation. In chromatography, this function is commonly referred to as a chromatographic response function (CRF). Many CRFs have previously been introduced, but many have unfavourable properties such as featuring multiple optima, insufficient discriminatory power, and a too strong dependence on the weight factors needed to balance resolution and time penalty components. To overcome these problems, the present study introduces a new type of CRF wherein the relative weight of the time penalty term is a self-adaptive function of the separation quality. The ability to unambiguously identify the optimal gradient settings of this newly proposed CRF is compared to that of some of the most frequently used CRFs in a study covering 100 randomly composed in silico samples. Doing so, the new CRF is found to flawlessly lead to the correct solution (=linear gradient parameters providing the highest resolution in the shortest potential time) in 100 % of the cases, while the most frequently used literature CRFs were off-target for about 50 to 60 % of the samples, even when considering the availability of spectral peak shape data. Some slight alterations to the proposed CRF are introduced and discussed as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography generates complex data sets, and numerous baseline correction and noise removal algorithms have been proposed in the past decade to address this challenge. However, evaluating their performance objectively is currently not possible due to a lack of objective data. RESULT To tackle this issue, we introduce a versatile platform that models and reconstructs single-trace two-dimensional chromatography data, preserving peak parameters. This approach balances real experimental data with synthetic data for precise comparisons. We achieve this by employing a Skewed Lorentz-Normal model to represent each peak and creating probability distributions for relevant parameter sampling. The model's performance has been showcased through its application to two-dimensional gas chromatography data where it has created a data set with 458 peaks with an RMSE of 0.0048 or lower and minimal residuals compared to the original data. Additionally, the same process has been shown in liquid chromatography data. SIGNIFICANCE Data analysis is an integral component of any analytical method. The development of new data processing strategies is of paramount importance to tackle the complex signals generated by state-of-the-art separation technology. Through the use of probability distributions, quantitative assessment of algorithm performance of new algorithms is now possible. Therefore, creating new opportunities for faster, more accurate, and simpler data analysis development.

Abstract
Despite the high gain in peak capacity, online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC × LC-HRMS) has not yet been widely applied to the analysis of complex protein digests. One reason is the method's reduced sensitivity which can be linked to the high flow rates of the second separation dimension (2D). This results in higher dilution factors and the need for flow splitters to couple to ESI-MS. This study reports proof-of-principle results of the development of an RPLC × RPLC-HRMS method using parallel gradients (2D flow rate of 0.7 mL min-1) and its comparison to shifted gradient methods (2D of 1.4 mL min-1) for the analysis of complex digests using HRMS (QExactive-Plus MS). Shifted and parallel gradients resulted in high surface coverage (SC) and effective peak capacity (SC of 0.6226 and 0.7439 and effective peak capacity of 779 and 757 in 60 min). When applied to a cell line digest sample, parallel gradients allowed higher sensitivity (e.g., average MS intensity increased by a factor of 3), allowing for a higher number of identifications (e.g., about 2600 vs 3900 peptides). In addition, reducing the modulation time to 10 s significantly increased the number of MS/MS events that could be performed. When compared to a 1D-RPLC method, parallel RPLC × RPLC-HRMS methods offered a higher separation performance (FHWH from 0.12 to 0.018 min) with limited sensitivity losses resulting in an increase of analyte identifications (e.g., about 6000 vs 7000 peptides and 1500 vs 1990 proteins).

Impact of conditioning runs on hydrophilic interaction chromatography repeatability and its application as a second dimension in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography.

Abstract
A common separation approach for polar compounds involves coupling reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) in two-dimensional chromatography. The higher proportion of acetonitrile used in the HILIC mobile phase, which enhances mass spectrometry detection, encourages its use in the second dimension. Previous studies demonstrated that the HILIC column can be partially equilibrated within very short timeframes without compromising retention time stability, rendering it suitable in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) setups. In addition, a specific number of conditioning cycles seems necessary to establish stable retention times. Here, the repeatability of HILIC when employed as second dimension in LC×LC was investigated, with a focus on determining the required number of conditioning cycles to achieve repeatable retention times. Various parameters influenced by the LC×LC online modulation system were studied, such as steep gradient slopes up to 8%, and very short equilibration times, less than or equal to dead time, as well as injection volume and solvent, which depend on the first dimension. Finally, the use of HILIC as a second dimension with tailored conditioning runs was applied to the analysis of hyaluronic acid hydrogel digests. The application of an RPLC×HILIC method using five conditioning runs yielded exceptional stability in second-dimension retention times.

Abstract
Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC), and in particular comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC), offers increased peak capacity, resolution and selectivity compared to one-dimensional liquid chromatography. It is commonly accepted that the technique produces the best results when the separation mechanisms in the two dimensions are completely orthogonal; however, the use of similar separation mechanisms in both dimensions has been gaining popularity as it helps avoid difficulties related to mobile phase incompatibility and poor column efficiency. The remarkable advantages of using reversed phase in both dimensions (RPLC×RPLC) over other separation mechanisms made it a promising technique in the separation of complex samples. This review discusses some physical and practical considerations in method development for 2D-LC involving the use of RP in both dimensions. In addition, an extensive overview is presented of different applications that relied on RPLC×RPLC and 2D-LC with reversed phase column combinations to separate components of complex samples in different fields including food analysis, natural product analysis, environmental analysis, proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics.

Abstract
Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LCxLC) represents a valuable alternative to conventional single column, or one-dimensional, liquid chromatography (1D-LC) for resolving multiple components in a complex mixture in a short time. However, developing LCxLC methods with trial-and-error experiments is challenging and time-consuming, which is why the technique is not dominant despite its significant potential. This work presents a novel shortcut model to in-silico predicting retention time and peak width within an RPLCxRPLC separation system (i.e., LCxLC systems that use reversed-phase columns (RPLC) in both separation dimensions). Our computationally effective model uses the hydrophobic-subtraction model (HSM) to predict retention and considers limitations due to the sample volume, undersampling and the maximum pressure drop. The shortcut model is used in a two-step strategy for sample-dependent optimization of RPLCxRPLC separation systems. In the first step, the Kendall's correlation coefficient of all possible combinations of available columns is evaluated, and the best column pair is selected accordingly. In the second step, the optimal values of design variables, flow rate, pH and sample loop volume, are obtained via multi-objective stochastic optimization. The strategy is applied to method development for the separation of 8, 12 and 16 component mixtures. It is shown that the proposed strategy provides an easy way to accelerate method development for full-comprehensive 2D-LC systems as it does not require any experimental campaign and an entire optimization run can take less than two minutes.

Abstract
Online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (online LC x LC) has become increasingly popular. Among the different chromatographic modes that can be combined, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) are particularly interesting because they offer a high degree of orthogonality. However, this combination remains complex due to the incompatibility of the solvents in the two dimensions. To avoid this problem, it is possible to dilute the first dimension (1D) effluent with (zdilution -1) volumes of a weaker solvent added to one volume of 1D-effluent, where zdilution represents the extent to which the fraction volume has been multiplied. This can be done using either active solvent modulation technology or an additional pump, prior to the second dimension analysis. The objective of this study was to develop theoretical models to predict whether or not dilution can be effective, and, if so, what is the minimum zdilution value required. This approach is based on the calculation of the ratio (called xdilution) between the peak standard deviation due to the injection process and the peak standard deviation in the absence of extra-column dispersion. xdilution was calculated from theoretical relationships and plotted as a function of zdilution, to predict the value required to obtain good peak shapes for the compound of interest. The maximum xdilution value was found to be of the order of 1 for chromatographically acceptable peak shapes. The proposed theoretical approach was experimentally validated on a number of representative small molecules and peptides. Agreement between experimental results and theoretical models was very high, especially for small molecules. Finally, it is shown that this approach helps to predict the most appropriate set of conditions in HILIC x RPLC, depending on the compounds to be separated.

Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography with high resolution mass spectrometry to investigate the photoelectrochemical degradation of environmentally relevant pharmaceuticals and their degradation products in water. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:120023.

Abstract
The widespread presence of organic micropollutants in the environment reflects the inability of traditional wastewater treatment plants to remove them. In this context, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as promising quaternary wastewater treatment technologies since they efficiently degrade recalcitrant components by generating highly reactive free radicals. Nonetheless, the chemical characterization of potentially harmful byproducts is essential to avoid the contamination of natural water bodies with hazardous substances. Given the complexity of wastewater matrices, the implementation of comprehensive analytical methodologies is required. In this work, the simultaneous photoelectrochemical degradation of seven environmentally relevant pharmaceuticals and one metabolite from the EU Watch List 2020/1161 was examined in ultrapure water and simulated wastewater, achieving excellent removal efficiencies (overall >95%) after 180 min treatment. The reactor unit was linked to an online LC sample manager, allowing for automated sampling every 15 min and near real-time process monitoring. Online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC) coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was subsequently used to tentatively identify degradation products after photoelectrochemical degradation. Two reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) columns were used: an SB-C18 column operated with 5 mM ammonium formate at pH 5.8 (1A) and methanol (1B) as the mobile phases in the first dimension and an SB-Aq column using acidified water at pH 3.1 (2A) and acetonitrile (2B) as the mobile phases in the second dimension. This resulted in a five-fold increase in peak capacity compared to one-dimensional LC while maintaining the same total analysis time of 50 min. The LC x LC method allowed the tentative identification of 12 venlafaxine, 7 trimethoprim and 10 ciprofloxacin intermediates. Subsequent toxicity predictions suggested that some of these byproducts were potentially harmful. This study presents an effective hybrid technology for the simultaneous removal of pharmaceuticals from contaminated wastewater matrices and demonstrates how multidimensional liquid chromatography techniques can be applied to better understand the degradation mechanisms after the treatment of micropollutants with AOPs.

Detailed comparison of in-house developed and commercially available heart-cutting and selective comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography systems. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1713:464565. [PMID: 38096685 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Recently, two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has become a popular approach to analyze complex samples. This is partly due to the introduction of commercial 2D-LC systems. In the past, 2D-LC was carried out on in-house developed setups, typically consisting of several switching valves and sample loops as the interface between the two dimensions. Commercial systems usually offer different 2D-LC modes in combination with specialized software to operate the instrument and analyze the data. This makes them highly user-friendly, however, at an increased cost compared to in-house developed setups. This study aims to make a comparison between an in-house developed 2D-LC setup and a commercially available 2D-LC instrument. The comparison is made based on experimental differences, in addition to more general differences, including cost price, flexibility, and ease of operation. Special attention is also paid to the different strategies to deal with the mobile phase incompatibility between the highly orthogonal separation mechanisms considered in this work: hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase LC (RPLC). For the commercial 2D-LC instrument, this is done using active solvent modulation (ASM), a valve-based approach allowing the on-line dilution of the effluent eluting from the first dimension column before transfer to the second dimension (2D) column. For the in-house developed setup, a combination of restriction capillaries and a trap column is used. Using a sample of 28 compounds with a large polarity range, peak shapes and recoveries of the 2D-chromatograms are compared for both setups. For early eluting compounds, the selective comprehensive approach, currently only possible on the commercial 2D-LC instrument, results in the best peak shapes and recoveries, however, at the cost of an increased analysis time. In general, depending on the analytical goal (single heart-cut versus full-comprehensive 2D-LC), an in-house developed system can be satisfactory for the analysis of specific target compounds/samples. For more complex problems, it can be interesting to use a more specialized commercial 2D-LC instrument. Overall, this comparison study provides advice for analytical scientists, who are considering to use 2D-LC, on the type of equipment to consider, depending on the needs of their particular applications.

Talanta 2024; 266:124918. [PMID: 37454518 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is currently the gold-standard technique for the analysis of non-volatile small organic molecules. However, one-dimensional liquid chromatography (1D-LC) cannot efficiently deal with mixtures of analytes with different physicochemical properties and, thus, specific chromatographic behaviour. As an alternative, this work proposes a two-dimensional liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (2D-LC-HRMS) approach for the simultaneous analysis of compounds with different polarities. It is based on the combination of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) in the first dimension (1D) and reversed-phase chromatography (RPLC) in the second dimension (2D), employing the heart-cutting methodology. The coupling between 1D and 2D was performed by a multiple heart-cutting (MHC) interface equipped with an active solvent modulation (ASM) valve. The aim of the study was the development of a 2D-LC methodology able to (i) acquire the 1D and 2D content by MS in a single analytical run, avoiding the loss of information caused by the MHC algorithm for filling the sampling loops; (ii) overcome the breakthrough problem caused by solvent incompatibility, modifying the 2D gradient during the ASM phase for this purpose. To evaluate the 2D-LC approach, pesticide residue analysis was proposed, selecting 20 pesticides covering a wide range of polarities (log Kow from -3.2 to 4.3) and including some of the so-called single residue method pesticides because of the difficulty of including them in 1D-LC multi-residue methods with satisfactory chromatographic resolution. The proposed strategy was to transfer in a single cut the void volume from the HILIC separation (consisting of the nonpolar pesticides) to the 2D for analysis under RPLC conditions. The developed assembly was assessed in a vegetable matrix (tomato) employing a hybrid QuEChERS/QuPPe sample treatment based on acetonitrile and methanol extraction. The proposed setup may be extended for 2D-LC applications where it is essential to acquire the entire content of both dimensions in a single data file just by coupling a selection valve to the MHC interface.

Abstract
While the advent of modern analytical technology has allowed scientists to determine the complexity of mixtures, it also spurred the demand to understand these sophisticated mixtures better. Chemical transformation can be used to provide insights into properties of complex samples such as degradation pathways or molecular heterogeneity that are otherwise unaccessible. In this article, we explore how sample transformation is exploited across different application fields to empower analytical methods. Transformation mechanisms include molecular-weight reduction, controlled degradation, and derivatization. Both offline and online transformation methods have been explored. The covered studies show that sample transformation facilitates faster reactions (e.g. several hours to minutes), reduces sample complexity, unlocks new sample dimensions (e.g. functional groups), provides correlations between multiple sample dimensions, and improves detectability. The article highlights the state-of-the-art and future prospects, focusing in particular on the characterization of protein and nucleic-acid therapeutics, nanoparticles, synthetic polymers, and small molecules.

Abstract
Various everyday areas such as agriculture, wood industry, and wastewater treatment yield residual biowastes in large amounts that can be utilised for the purpose of sustainability and circular economy. Depending on the type of biowaste, they can be used to extract valuable chemicals or converted into alternative fuels. However, for efficient valorisation, these processes need to be monitored, for which thorough chemical characterisation can be highly beneficial. For this aim, two-dimensional (2D) chromatography can be favourable, as it has a higher peak capacity and sensitivity than one-dimensional (1D) chromatography. Therefore, here we review the studies published since 2010 involving gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) as one of the dimensions. For the first time, we present the 2D chromatographic characterisation of various biowastes valorised for different purposes (chemical, fuels), together with future prospects and challenges. The aspects related to the 2D chromatographic analysis of polar, poorly volatile, and thermally unstable compounds are highlighted. In addition, it is demonstrated how different 2D setups can be applied for monitoring the biowaste conversion processes.

Abstract
Correlation of elution performance between reversed phase countercurrent chromatography and liquid chromatography was investigated using five selected natural components. Theoretical guidance for orthogonality of two-dimensional countercurrent chromatography and liquid chromatography was proposed. The difference in retention behavior between countercurrent chromatography and liquid chromatography was studied when the mobile phase was composed of methanol and water by measuring the partition behavior of five selected compounds in two typical biphasic solvent systems composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water and chloroform-methanol-water. An orthogonal diagram between countercurrent chromatography and liquid chromatography was obtained by normalized treatment of the measured partition coefficients and capacity factors. The experimental results showed that each biphasic solvent system used for countercurrent chromatography had a high orthogonality with liquid chromatography when a specific volume ratio was used.

Abstract
Method development in comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC) is a complicated endeavor. The dependency between the two dimensions and the possibility of incorporating complex gradient profiles, such as multi-segmented gradients or shifting gradients, renders method development by "trial-and-error" time-consuming and highly dependent on user experience. In this work, an open-source algorithm for the automated and interpretive method development of complex gradients in LC × LC-mass spectrometry (MS) was developed. A workflow was designed to operate within a closed-loop that allowed direct interaction between the LC × LC-MS system and a data-processing computer which ran in an unsupervised and automated fashion. Obtaining accurate retention models in LC × LC is difficult due to the challenges associated with the exact determination of retention times, curve fitting because of the use of gradient elution, and gradient deformation. Thus, retention models were compared in terms of repeatability of determination. Additionally, the design of shifting gradients in the second dimension and the prediction of peak widths were investigated. The algorithm was tested on separations of a tryptic digest of a monoclonal antibody using an objective function that included the sum of resolutions and analysis time as quality descriptors. The algorithm was able to improve the separation relative to a generic starting method using these complex gradient profiles after only four method-development iterations (i.e., sets of chromatographic conditions). Further iterations improved retention time and peak width predictions and thus the accuracy in the separations predicted by the algorithm.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapies have been a major advance in oncology patient care, even though they represent a significant healthcare cost. Biosimilars, launched in Europe in 2004 are an economically attractive alternative to expensive originator biological drugs. They also increase the competitiveness of pharmaceutical development. This article focuses on the case of Erbitux® (cetuximab). This anti-EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) monoclonal antibody is indicated for metastatic colorectal cancer (2004) and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (2006). However, despite the expiration of the patent in Europe in 2014 and estimated annual sales of 1.681 million US dollars in 2022, Erbitux® has not yet faced any approved biosimilar challenges in the United States or in Europe. Here, we outline the unique structural complexity of this antibody highlighted by advanced orthogonal analytical characterization strategies resulting in risks to demonstrate biosimilarity, which may explain the lack of Erbitux® biosimilars in the European and US markets to date. The development of Erbitux® biobetters are also discussed as alternative strategies to biosimilars. These biologics offer expected additional safety and potency benefits over the reference product but require a full pharmaceutical and clinical development as for New Molecular Entities.

Abstract
Analysis of complex environmental matrices poses an extreme challenge for analytical chemists due to the vast number of known and unknown compounds, with very diverse chemical and physical properties. The need for a holistic characterisation of this complexity has sparked the development of effective tools to unravel the chemical composition of such environmental samples. Multidimensional chromatographic methods, namely comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) gas and liquid chromatography (GC × GC and LC × LC, respectively), coupled to different detection systems have emerged as powerful tools with the capability to address this challenge. While GC × GC has steadily gained popularity in environmental analysis, LC × LC is surprisingly less attractive in this research field. This critical review article explores the potential reasons why LC × LC is not the dominant technique used in environmental analysis as compared to GC × GC, while simultaneously highlighting the quite unique role of LC × LC for the target and untargeted analysis of complex environmental matrices. The possible combinations of stationary phases, the important role of the interfacing valve as the heart of an LC × LC assembly, the existing optimization strategies for improving the separation power in the 2D chromatographic space, and the need for user-friendly mathematical tools for multidimensional data handling are also discussed. Finally, a set of practical measures are suggested to increase the use and secure the success of LC × LC in environmental analysis.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of liquid chromatography (LC) in recent decades, it remains a challenge to achieve the desired chromatographic separation of complex matrices using a single column. Multi-column LC techniques, particularly serially coupled column LC (SCC-LC), have emerged as a promising solution to overcome this challenge. While more attention has been focused on heart-cutting or comprehensive two-dimensional LC, reviews specifically focusing on SCC-LC, which offers advantages in terms of precision and facile instrumentation, are scarce. Here, our concerns are devoted to the progress summary regarding the instrumentation and applications of SCC-LC. Emphasis is placed on column selection aiming to enlarge peak capacity, selectivity, or both through the optimization of combination types (e.g. RPLC-RPLC, -RPLC-HILIC, and achiral-chiral LC), connection devices (e.g. zero dead volume connector, tubing, and T-type connector), elution program (i.e. isocratic or gradient) and detectors (e.g. mass spectrometer, ultraviolet detector, and fluorescence detector). The application of SCC-LC in pharmaceutical, biological, environmental, and food fields is also reviewed, and future perspectives and potential directions for SCC-LC are discussed. We envision that the review can give meaningful information to analytical scientists when facing heavy chromatographic separation tasks for complicated matrices.

Abstract
This work describes a comprehensive achiral × chiral two-dimensional liquid chromatography separation for enantioselective amino acid analysis coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry detection using data-independent acquisition. Flow splitting after the first and second dimension separation was utilized for volumetric flow reduction and for enabling a multi-detector approach (with ultraviolet, fluorescence, charged aerosol, and MS detection), respectively. Derivatization with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate provided a chromophore, a fluorophore, and an efficient mass tag for efficient ionization in positive electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Chiral columns often have limitations in terms of their chemoselectivity, which may be a problem when complex sample mixtures with structurally related compounds need to be separated. It can be alleviated by a reversed-phase×chiral two-dimensional-liquid chromatography setup, in which the first dimension provides the chemoselectivity and a chiral tandem column constituted of quinine-carbamate derived weak anion-exchanger and zwitterionic ion-exchanger in the second dimension separation of D- and L-amino acid enantiomers. The method was used to control the stereointegrity of the therapeutic peptide octreotide. After hydrolysis, all amino acid constituents were detected with the correct configuration and composition. Some options for flow splitting and integration of destructive detectors in the first dimension separation are outlined.

Abstract
The time required for method development in gradient-elution liquid chromatography (LC) may be reduced by using an empirical modelling approach to describe and predict analyte retention and peak width. However, prediction accuracy is impaired by system-induced gradient deformation, which can be especially prominent for steep gradients. As the deformation is unique to each LC instrument, it needs to be corrected for if retention modelling for optimization and method transfer is to become generally applicable. Such a correction requires knowledge of the actual gradient profile. The latter has been measured using capacitively coupled "contactless" conductivity detection (C4D), featuring a low detection volume (approximately 0.05 μL) and compatibility with very high pressures (80 MPa or more). Several different solvent gradients, from water to acetonitrile, water to methanol, and acetonitrile to tetrahydrofuran, could be measured directly without the addition of a tracer component to the mobile phase, exemplifying the universal nature of the approach. Gradient profiles were found to be unique for each solvent combination, flowrate, and gradient duration. The profiles could be described by convoluting the programmed gradient with a weighted sum of two distribution functions. Knowledge of the exact profiles was used to improve the inter-system transferability of retention models for toluene, anthracene, phenol, emodin, sudan-I and several polystyrene standards.

Abstract
The typical phenolic profile in grapes is characterized by its complexity both in terms of number of diverse chemical structures and their variation during ripening. Besides, the specific phenolic composition of grapes directly influences the presence of those components in the resulting wine. In this contribution, a new method based on the application of comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled to a diode array detector and tandem mass spectrometry has been developed to obtain the typical phenolic profile of Malbec grapes cultivated in Brazil. Moreover, the method has been demonstrated to be useful to study how the phenolic composition in grapes evolved during a 10-week ripening period. Main detected compounds in grapes and in the wine derived from them were anthocyanins, although a good number of polymeric flavan-3-ols were also tentatively identified, among other compounds. Results show how the amount of anthocyanins present in grapes was increased during ripening up to 5-6 weeks and then decreased towards week 9. The two-dimensional approach applied was demonstrated to be useful for the characterization of the complex phenolic profile of these samples, involving more than 40 different structures and has the potential to be further applied to the study of this important fraction is different grapes and wines systematically.

Enzyme activity- and chemometrics-assisted comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the analysis of honeysuckle.

Abstract
A unique and effective comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography system was established and applied for the analysis of bioactive components in honeysuckle. Under the optimal conditions, Eclipse Plus C18 (2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 μm, Agilent) and SB-C18 (4.6 × 50 mm, 1.8 μm, Agilent) columns were chosen for the first dimension (1D) and the second dimension (2D) separation. The optimal flow rates of 1D and 2D were 0.12 mL/min and 2.0 mL/min, respectively. Additionally, the proportion of organic solution was optimized to enhance orthogonality and integrated shift, and full gradient elution mode was adopted to improve chromatographic resolution. Furthermore, a total of 57 compounds were identified by molecular weight, retention time and collision cross-section value obtained from ion mobility mass spectrometry. Based on the data obtained from the principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis, the categories of honeysuckle in different regions were significantly different. Moreover, the half maximal inhibitory concentration values of most samples were between 0.37 and 1.55 mg/mL, and most samples were potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, which is better for the evaluation of the quality of drugs from two aspects of substance content and activity.

Optimizing transfer and dilution processes when using active solvent modulation in on-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1252:341040. [PMID: 36935135 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) is becoming increasingly popular for the analysis of complex samples, which is partly due to the recent introduction of commercial 2D-LC systems. To deal with the mobile phase incompatibility between highly orthogonal retention mechanisms, such as hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase LC (RPLC), several strategies have been introduced over the years. One of these strategies is active solvent modulation (ASM), a valve-based approach allowing the on-line dilution of the effluent eluting from the first dimension before transfer to the second dimension. This strategy has gained a lot of attention and holds great potential, however, no clear guidelines are currently in place for its use. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the ASM process can be optimized when using highly incompatible LC combinations, such as HILIC and RPLC, in a simplified selective comprehensive 2D-LC set-up (sHILIC x RPLC) to suggest guidelines for future users. Using a representative sample, the dilution factor (DF), the duration of the ASM phase, the filling percentage of the sample loops, and their unloading configuration are investigated and optimized. It is observed that a DF of 10 with an optimal ASM phase duration, a sample loop filling of maximum 25%, and an unloading configuration in backflush mode, result in the best peak shapes, intensities, and recoveries for early eluting compounds, while keeping the total analysis time minimal. Based on these results, some general recommendations are made that could also be applied in other 2D-LC modes, such as comprehensive 2D-LC (LC x LC), heart-cutting 2D-LC (LC-LC), and other chromatographic combinations with mobile phase incompatibility issues.

Abstract
Vitamin B6 is an indispensable micronutrient in organisms and is widely distributed in blood, tissues, and organs. Changes in the content and ratio of vitamin B6 can affect the entire physiological condition of the body, so it becomes particularly important to reveal the relationship between changes in its content and disease by monitoring vitamin B6 levels in the organism. In this study, a two-dimensional liquid chromatography-UV detector (2D-LC-UV) was used to establish a method for the simultaneous detection of PLP, PA, and PL for the first time. First, PLP, PA, and PL were extracted with plasma: 0.6 M TCA: ultrapure water = 1:2:3 (v/v/v) and then derivatized. Enrichment and preliminary separation were performed on a one-dimensional column and automatically entered into a two-dimensional column for further separation. This method exhibited good selectivity, and the correlation coefficients for the analyte calibration curves were >0.99. The detection limits for PLP, PA, and PL were 0.1, 0.2, and 4 nmol/L, respectively. The results showed that the system has high loading capacity, excellent resolution, and a good peak shape. This method is expected to provide applicability for the determination of PLP, PA, and PL in pharmacological, pharmaceutical, and clinical research.

Abstract
In food analysis, conventional one-dimensional liquid chromatography methods sometimes lack sufficient separation power due to the complexity and heterogeneity of the analyzed matrices. Therefore, the use of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) turns out to be a powerful tool to consider, especially when coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). This review presents the most remarkable 2D-LC-MS food applications reported in the last 10 years, including a critical discussion of the multiple approaches, modulation strategies as well as the importance of the optimization of the different analytical aspects that will condition the 2D-LC-MS performance. The presence of contaminants in food (food safety), the food quality, and authenticity or the relationship between the beneficial effects of food and human health are some of the fields in which most of the 2D-LC-MS applications are mainly focused. Both heart-cutting and comprehensive applications are described and discussed in this review, highlighting the potential of 2D-LC-MS for the analysis of such complex samples.

Abstract
Typical chromatographic analysis of chiral compounds requires the use of achiral methods to evaluate impurities or related substances along with separate methods to evaluate chiral purity. The use of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) to support simultaneous achiral-chiral analysis has become increasingly advantageous in the field of high-throughput experimentation where low reaction yields or side reactions can lead to challenging direct chiral analysis. Advancements in multi-dimensional chromatography have led to the development of robust 2D-LC instrumentation with reversed phase solvent systems (RPLC-RPLC) enabling this simultaneous analysis, eliminating the need to purify crude reaction mixtures to determine stereoselectivity. However, when chiral RPLC cannot separate a chiral impurity from the desired product, there are few viable commercial options. The coupling of NPLC to RPLC (RPLC-NPLC) continues to remain elusive due to solvent immiscibility between the two solvent systems. This solvent incompatibility leads to lack of retention, band broadening, poor resolution, poor peak shapes, and baseline issues in the second dimension. A study was conducted to understand the effect of various water-containing injections on NPLC and applied to the development of robust RPLC-NPLC methods. Following thoughtful consideration and modifications to the design of a 2D-LC system in regards to mobile phase selection, sample loop sizing, targeted mixing, and solvent compatibility, proof of concept has been demonstrated with the development of reproducible RPLC-NPLC 2D-LC methods to perform simultaneous achiral-chiral analysis. Second dimension NPLC method performance proved comparable to corresponding 1D-NPLC methods with excellent percent difference in enantiomeric excess results ≤ 1.09% and adequate limits of quantitation down to 0.0025 mg/mL for injection volumes of 2 µL, or 5 ng on-column.

Abstract
Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) hyphenated to pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) has been demonstrated as a powerful tool in polymer analysis. A main limitation to the wider application of the method are the long second-dimension Py-GC analysis times, resulting in limited first-dimension sampling and/or long overall run times. Therefore, we set out to develop an online hyphenated SEC×Py-MS/FID method, removing the GC separation and allowing for a drastically reduced second-dimension analysis time compared to SEC-Py-GC. The pyrolysis method had a cycle time of 1.31 min, which was facilitated by liquid nitrogen cooling of the programmable temperature vaporizer (PTV) used for pyrolysis. The developed method featured no molar mass discrimination for masses above ±1.3 kDa, rendering it applicable to most commercial polymer systems. The method was demonstrated on multiple samples, including a complex industrial sample, yielding chemical composition heterogeneity and in some cases sequence heterogeneity information over the molar mass distribution.

[PMID: 36731333 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
The separation in liquid chromatography is defined either by the space domain where it proceeds until the least retained analyte reaches the outlet of the column or by the time when individual analytes elute out of the column. These two approaches lead to the four possible combinations of two-dimensional liquid chromatography with online space x time coupling being the least experimentally feasible. Here, we show the development of a novel two-dimensional liquid chromatography method combining separation defined by space and the conventional elution-based separation. First-dimension column consisted of four capillary segments coupled serially via two-position six-port valves allowing an online and comprehensive transfer of analytes from the first to the second dimension. After initial experiments using homemade monolithic capillary columns, we tested commercially available columns in both dimensions. We ended with the combination of packed capillary columns in the first dimension and monolithic capillary column in the second dimension. We used a reversed-phase retention mechanism in the first spatial dimension, while HILIC was in the second, time-based dimension. We also developed a theoretical model to describe the proposed two-dimensional separation that was further confirmed by utilizing both an isocratic and gradient elution in the second dimension. Finally, we applied our experimental setup to separate neurotransmitters contained in human urine.

Online hyphenation of size-exclusion chromatography and pyrolysis-gas chromatography for polymer characterization. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1690:463800. [PMID: 36681003 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
An understanding of the composition and molecular heterogeneities of complex industrial polymers forms the basis of gaining control of the physical properties of materials. In the current work we report on the development of an online method to hyphenate liquid polymer chromatography with pyrolysis-GC (Py-GC). The designed workflow included a 10-port valve for fractionation of the first-dimension effluent. Collected fractions were transferred to the Py-GC by means of a second LC pump, a 6-port valve was used to control injection in the Py-GC, allowing the second pump to operate continuously. The optimized large volume injection (LVI) method was capable of analyzing 117 µL of the LC effluent in a 6 min GC separation with a total cycle time of 8.45 min. This resulted in a total run time of 2.1 h while obtaining 15 Py-GC runs over the molar mass separation. The method was demonstrated on various real-life samples including a complex industrial copolymer with a bimodal molar mass distribution. The developed method was used to monitor the relative concentration of 5 different monomers over the molar mass distribution. Furthermore, the molar mass-dependent distribution of a low abundant comonomer (styrene, <1% of total composition) was demonstrated, highlighting the low detection limits and increased resolving power of this approach over e.g. online NMR or IR spectroscopy. The developed method provides a flexible and widely applicable approach to LC-Py-GC hyphenation without having to resort to costly and specialized instrumentation.

Packed modulation loops to reduce band broadening in two-dimensional liquid chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1690:463802. [PMID: 36681005 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Modulation interfaces employing sample loops are applied in many hyphenated separations such as two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC). When the first-dimension effluent in 2D-LC is eluted from the modulation loop, dispersion effects occur due to differences in the laminar flow velocity of the filling and emptying flow. These effects were recently studied by Moussa et al. whom recommended the use of coiled loops to promote radial diffusion and reduce this effect. In the 1980s, Coq et al. investigated the use of packed loops, which also promote radial diffusion, in large volume injection 1D-LC. Unfortunately, this concept was never investigated in the context of 2D-LC modulation. Our work evaluates use of packed loops in 2D-LC modulation and compares them to unpacked coiled and uncoiled modulation loops. The effect of the solvents, loop volume, differences in filling and emptying rates, and loop elution direction on the elution profile was investigated. Statistical moments were used as a pragmatic tool to quantify elution profile characteristics. Decreased dispersion was observed in all cases for the packed loops compared to unpacked loops and unpacked coiled loops. In particular for larger loop volumes the dispersion was reduced significantly. Furthermore, countercurrent elution resulted in narrower elution profiles in all cases compared to concurrent elution. We found that packed modulation loops are of high interested when analytes are not refocussed in the second-dimension separation (e.g. for size-exclusion chromatography). Moreover, our work suggests that the use of packed loops may aid in prevention of loop overfilling.

Abstract
Infrared ion spectroscopy (IRIS) can be used to identify molecular structures detected in mass spectrometry (MS) experiments and has potential applications in a wide range of analytical fields. However, MS-based approaches are often combined with orthogonal separation techniques, in many cases liquid chromatography (LC). The direct coupling of LC and IRIS is challenging due to the mismatching timescales of the two technologies: an IRIS experiment typically takes several minutes, whereas an LC fraction typically elutes in several seconds. To resolve this discrepancy, we present a heartcutting LC-IRIS approach using a setup consisting of two switching valves and two sample loops as an alternative to direct online LC-IRIS coupling. We show that this automated setup enables us to record multiple IR spectra for two LC-features from a single injection without degrading the LC-separation performance. We demonstrate the setup for application in drug metabolism research by recording six m/z-selective IR spectra for two drug metabolites from a single 2 μL sample of cell incubation extract. Additionally, we measure the IR spectra of two closely eluting diastereomeric biomarkers for the inborn error of metabolism pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE-ALDH7A1), which shows that the heartcutting LC-IRIS setup has good sensitivity (requiring ∼μL injections of ∼μM samples) and that the separation between closely eluting isomers is maintained. We envision applications in a range of research fields, where the identification of molecular structures detected by LC-MS is required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Screening and analysis of bioactive components from natural products is a fundamental part of new drug development and innovation. Two-dimensional (2D) chromatography has been demonstrated to be an effective method for screening and preparation of specific bioactive components from complex natural products. OBJECTIVE To collect details of application of 2D chromatography in screening of natural product bioactive components and to outline the research progress of different separation mechanisms and strategies. METHODOLOGY Three screening strategies based on 2D chromatography are reviewed, including traditional separation-based screening, bioactivity-guided screening and affinity chromatography-based screening. Meanwhile, in order to cover these aspects, selections of different separation mechanisms and modes are also presented. RESULTS Compared with traditional one-dimensional (1D) chromatography, 2D chromatography has unique advantages in terms of peak capacity and resolution, and it is more effective for screening and identifying bioactive components of complex natural products. CONCLUSION Screening of natural bioactive components using 2D chromatography helps separation and analysis of complex samples with greater targeting and relevance, which is very important for development of innovative drug leads.

Abstract
Chiral carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) represent a rapidly evolving area of research for optical and biomedical technologies. Similar to small molecules, applications of CNPs as well as fundamental relationships between their optical activity and structural asymmetry would greatly benefit from their enantioselective separations by chromatography. However, this technique remains in its infancy for chiral carbon and other nanoparticles. The possibility of effective separations using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with chiral stationary phases remains an open question whose answer can also shed light on the components of multiscale chirality of the nanoparticles. Herein, we report a detailed methodology of HPLC for successful separation of chiral CNPs and establish a path for its future optimization. A mobile phase of water/acetonitrile was able to achieve chiral separation of CNPs derived from L- and D-cysteine denoted as L-CNPs and D-CNPs. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the teicoplanin-based stationary phase has a higher affinity for L-CNPs than for D-CNPs, in agreement with experiments. The experimental and computational findings jointly indicate that chiral centers of chiral CNPs are present at their surface, which is essential for the multiple applications of these chiral nanostructures and equally essential for interactions with biomolecules and circularly polarized photons.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to provide an unbiased comparison of one-dimensional reversed-phase liquid chromatography (1D-RPLC) and comprehensive two-dimensional RPLC (RPLC × RPLC), through calculations and experimental verifications. For this purpose, various quality descriptors were evaluated, including peak capacity, analysis time, dilution factor, number of runs in the second dimension, and injection volume. The same strategy was applied to small pharmaceuticals and peptides. Whatever the analysis time between 30 and 200 min, short columns of only 30 × 2.1 mm packed with sub-2-µm particles should be selected in both dimensions of the 2D-LC setup to obtain the best compromise in terms of peak capacity and sensitivity. The peak capacity in RPLC × RPLC vs. RPLC was significantly improved for analysis times beyond 5 min. However, extra-column volume located after the second-dimension column was found to be particularly critical for peptides, and up to 50% lower peak capacity was observed with MS vs. UV detection. Contrary to common belief, higher dilution is not always observed in RPLC × RPLC. With adequate analytical conditions, better sensitivity (in theory fivefold and in practice three- to fivefold) could be achieved in RPLC × RPLC compared to 1D-RPLC, regardless of the analysis time.

Abstract
AbstractIn the last decade, chip-based separations have become a major area of interest in the field of separation science, especially for the development of “spatial” two-dimensional liquid chromatography (xLC × xLC). In xLC × xLC, the analytes are first separated by migration to different positions in a first-dimension (1D) channel and subsequently transferred with the aid of a flow distributor in a perpendicular direction to undergo a second-dimension (2D) separation. In this study, several designs for 2D separations are explored with the aid of computational fluid dynamics simulations. There were several aims of this work, viz. (1) to investigate the possible anomalies arising from the location of analyte bands in the first-dimension channel before transfer to the second dimension induced by the flow distributor, (2) to study the distribution ratio of the analytes across the different outlets of the 1D channel, and (3) to study the flow behaviour confinement in the flow distributor. In all designs, the simulated absolute flow velocity was not equal in all regions of the 1D channel. The extreme segments showed higher velocities compared to the central zones. This will eventually influence the migration times (first moments) and the variances (second moments), as confirmed by CFD results. The study has contributed to the understanding of the effects of the peak locations and, ultimately, to progress in spatial 2D-LC separations.

Abstract
Tea is a complex food matrix comprising of many structurally diverse compounds, of which catechins and their oxidised derivatives are of particular interest due to their nutritional functionality. However, these catechins and derivatives exist in various isomeric forms with few or no pure standards available, rendering their analysis challenging. A method combining multi-dimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was developed for the characterisation of these compounds using Ceylon tea as a model. Based on a Plackett-Burman (PB) design, flow rate and initial methanol percentage were identified as the most significant factors (p < 0.05) affecting chromatogram coverage and resolution (Rs) for comprehensive two-dimensional LC (LCxLC) and heart-cutting two-dimensional LC (LC-LC) respectively. Central composite design (CCD) was then applied using these parameters for method optimisation and to identify second-order relationships between screened parameters. The optimised LCxLC (flow rate: 2.18 mL/min and initial methanol percentage: 28.0%) and LC-LC (flow rate: 0.86 mL/min and initial methanol percentage for different cuts: A- 10.0%; B- 15.8%; and C- 18.7%) methods were applied to the analysis of Ceylon tea samples from seven regions of Sri Lanka and demonstrated an improved separation of co-eluting isomeric compounds. Finally, with the mass spectral information from HRMS, a total of 31 compounds (eight monomers, 17 dimers, five trimers and one tetramer) were detected and putatively identified in Ceylon tea.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most significant and abundant post-translational modifications in cells. Glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses involve the characterization of oligosaccharides (glycans) conjugated to proteins. Glycomic and glycoproteomic analysis is highly challenging because of the large diversity of structures, low abundance, site-specific heterogeneity, and poor ionization efficiency of glycans and glycopeptides in mass spectrometry (MS). MS is a key tool for characterization of glycans and glycopeptides. However, MS alone does not always provide full structural and quantitative information for many reasons, and thus MS is combined with some separation technique. This review focuses on the role of separation techniques used in glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses, liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. The most important separation conditions and results are presented and discussed. Graphical abstract
