Abstract
Continuous C8 stationary phase gradients are created on commercial Waters Symmetry Shield RP8 columns by strategically cleaving the C8 moieties in a time-dependent fashion. The method relies on the controlled infusion of a trifluoroacetic acid/water/acetonitrile solution through the column to cleave the organic functionality (e.g., C8) from the siloxane framework. The bond cleavage solution is reactive enough to cleave the functional groups, even with polar groups embedded within the stationary phase to protect the silica. Both the longitudinal and radial heterogeneity were evaluated by extruding the silica powder into polyethylene tubing and evaluating the percent carbon content in the different sections using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA analysis shows the presence of a stationary phase gradient in the longitudinal direction but not in the radial direction. Two different gradient profiles were formed with good reproducibility by modifying the infusion method: one exhibited an 'S'-shaped gradient while the other exhibited a steep exponential-like gradient. The gradients were characterized chromatographically using test mixtures, and the results showed varied retention characteristics and an enhanced ability to resolve nicotine analytes.

Abstract
Based on the adhesion of polyethyleneimine (PEI), a novel PEI/zein co-modified core-shell stationary phase (PEI/Zein@SiO2) was prepared by doping zein to form a composite modification layer. The stationary phase achieved effective separation of nucleosides, bases and antibiotics in hydrophilic interaction mode on account of the hydrophilic groups of composite coating. With the hydrophobicity of zein, the flavones could be separated in reversed-phase mode. In short, the separation and analysis of hydrophilic/hydrophobic compounds were accomplished excellently by the PEI/Zein@SiO2 column with mixed double mode. The prepared chromatographic stationary phase not only avoided the dissolution of zein, but also covered the strong adsorption of some analytes caused by silica hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica spheres. The morphological structure and specific surface area of the material were reflected by various characterization techniques. Hydrophilic/hydrophobic compounds were used as tested analytes to research separation performance and retention mechanisms of PEI/Zein@SiO2 column. The stability and reproducibility of the PEI/Zein@SiO2 stationary phase were satisfied. Therefore, the modification of zein could improve the separation selectivity of stationary phase effectively for complex samples, which had the potential to be one of the significant potential application materials in stationary phase packing.

Abstract
Multimodal chromatography has emerged as a powerful method for the purification of therapeutic antibodies. However, process development of this separation technique remains challenging because of an intricate and molecule-specific interaction towards multimodal ligands, leading to time-consuming and costly experimental optimization. This study presents a multiscale modeling approach to predict the multimodal chromatographic behavior of therapeutic antibodies based on their sequence information. Linear gradient elution (LGE) experiments were performed on an anionic multimodal resin for 59 full-length antibodies, including five different antibody formats at pH 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 that were used for parameter determination of a linear adsorption model at low loading density conditions. Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling was utilized to correlate the adsorption parameters with up to 1374 global and local physicochemical descriptors calculated from antibody homology models. The final QSPR models employed less than eight descriptors per model and demonstrated high training accuracy (R² > 0.93) and reasonable test set prediction accuracy (Q² > 0.83) for the adsorption parameters. Model evaluation revealed the significance of electrostatic interaction and hydrophobicity in determining the chromatographic behavior of antibodies, as well as the importance of the HFR3 region in antibody binding to the multimodal resin. Chromatographic simulations using the predicted adsorption parameters showed good agreement with the experimental data for the vast majority of antibodies not employed during the model training. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of sequence-based prediction for determining chromatographic behavior in therapeutic antibody purification. This approach leads to more efficient and cost-effective process development, providing a valuable tool for the biopharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Zwitterions are a promising choice to prepare separation materials because of their hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. We described the preparation of two zwitterionic polymer functionalized stationary phases and evaluation under mixed-mode chromatography. A zwitterionic monomer, S-(4-vinylbenzyl) cysteine (SVC), was synthesized and bonded to silica via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to afford a zwitterionic stationary phase, Sil-SVC. A hydrophobic monomer, N-(4-phenylbutan-2-yl) acrylamide (NPA), was copolymerized with SVC onto the stationary phase (Sil-SVCNPA) for comparison. The stationary phases were characterized with FT-IR, TGA, EA, and zeta-potential measurements. Mobile phase composition (ACN content, pH and salt concentration) was varied to study the retention property. Linear solvation energy relationship and Van't Hoff plot were used to investigate the retention mechanism and how chromatographic conditions influenced it. Both stationary phases showed a mixed-mode of RPLC/HILIC/IEC and satisfactory performance in separating hydrophobic analytes (alkylbenzenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), hydrophilic nucleotide and bases, and anions, high column efficiency of 60,000 plates·m-1 was achieved. In summary, zwitterionic polymers are attractive options to prepare stationary phases and the retention property can be easily regulated by copolymer.

Abstract
Monitoring the central carbon metabolism (CCM) network using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis is hampered by the diverse chemical nature of its analytes, which are extremely difficult to analyze using single chromatographic conditions. Furthermore, CCM-related compounds present non-specific adsorption on metal surfaces, causing detrimental chromatographic effects and sensitivity loss. In this study, polar reversed-phase, mixed-mode (MMC), and zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) featuring low-adsorption hardware were investigated towards untargeted analysis of biological samples with a focus on energy metabolism-related analytes. Best results were achieved with sulfoalkylbetaine HILIC with different supports, where polymeric option featured the highest coverage and inert hybrid silica facilitated best throughput and kinetic performance at a cost of less selectivity for small carboxylic acids. MMC demonstrated excellent performance for strongly anionic analytes such as multiresidue phosphates. The obtained experimental data also suggested that an additional hydrophilic modulation might be necessary to facilitate better resolution of carboxylic acids in zHILIC mode, as found during the application of the developed method to study the effect of two different mutations on the energy metabolism of S. aureus.

Abstract
The development of new home-made stationary phases involves their packaging procedure and is crucial to obtain satisfactory working parameters. The parameter that illustrates the quality of the packed bed is its efficiency measured as the height equivalent to the theoretical plate. According to the Van Deemetr's equation, it depends on three factors, but only one of them, eddy diffusion, does not depend on the linear flow velocity. Therefore, in order to obtain it as low as possible, it is necessary to focus on a good filling of the column. Among many parameters affecting the quality of column packing, in our work we have focused on the choice of slurry solvent. Novel stationary phases with an embedded phosphodiester group were investigated. The suspensions in 16 solvents and solvent mixtures were studied for their stability, aggregation, sedimentation and viscosity comparison. The efficiency of the packed microcolumns and its comparison was determined by chromatographic analyses using a polar (thymidine) and a non-polar compound (naphthalene). The results obtained led to the conclusion that for these stationary phases, the best slurry solvent is the one that aggregates the phase while maintaining stability and having high viscosity.

Abstract
Porous silica particles were prepared by sol–gel method with some modification to get wide-pore particles. These particles were derivatized with N-phenylmaleimide-methylvinylisocyanate (PMI) and styrene by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to prepare N-phenylmaleimide embedded polystyrene (PMP) stationary phases. Narrow bore stainless steel column (100 × 1.8 mm i.d) was packed by slurry packing method. The chromatographic performance of PMP column was evaluated for the separation of synthetic peptides mixture composed of five peptides (Gly-Tyr, Gly-Leu-Tyr, Gly-Gly-Tyr-Arg, Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg, Leucine enkephalin) and tryptic digest of human serum albumin (HAS) respectively. Number of theoretical plates as high as 280,000 plates/m were obtained for peptides mixture at optimum elution condition. Separation performance of the developed column was compared with commercial Ascentis Express RP-Amide column and it was observed that separation performance of PMP column was better than commercial column in terms of separation efficiency and resolution.

Abstract
Analysis of the dipicolinic acid (DPA) released from Clostridium botulinum spores during thermal processing is crucial to obtaining a mechanistic understanding of the factors involved in spore heat resistance and related food safety applications. Here, we developed a novel mixed-mode liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for detection of the DPA released from C. botulinum type A, nonproteolytic types B and F strains, and nonpathogenic surrogate Clostridium sporogenes PA3679 spores. DPA was retained on a mixed-mode C18/anion exchange column and was detected using electrospray ionization (ESI) positive mode within a 4-min analysis time. The intraday and interday precision (%CV) was 1.94-3.46% and 4.04-8.28%, respectively. Matrix effects were minimal across proteolytic type A Giorgio-A, nonproteolytic types QC-B and 202-F, and C. sporogenes PA3679 spore suspensions (90.1-114% of spiked DPA concentrations). DPA recovery in carrot juice and beef broth ranged from 105 to 118%, indicating limited matrix effects of these food products. Experiments that assessed the DPA released from Giorgio-A spores over the course of a 5-min thermal treatment at 108 °C found a significant correlation (R = 0.907; P < 0.05) between the log reduction of spores and amount of DPA released. This mixed-mode LC-MS/MS method provides a means for rapid detection of DPA released from C. botulinum spores during thermal processing and has the potential to be used for experiments in the field of food safety that assess the thermal resistance characteristics of various C. botulinum spore types.

Abstract
In biopharmaceutical process development time, cost and reliability are the relevant keywords. During the development of chromatographic processes these targets are challenged by many possible scaffolds, ligands and process parameters. The common response to this diversity is the establishment of platform processes in the development of chromatographic unit operations. However, while developing a platform library to simplify and accelerate chromatographic processes, the potential combination of scaffold, ligands and process parameters need to be characterized. This challenge is addressed in a case study on novel mixed mode (MM) adsorber for the removal of monoclonal antibody (mAb) aggregates. We propose a rigorous strategy to reduce the various experimental design space resulting from possible combinations in scaffolds, backbones and ligands. This strategy is based on theoretical considerations, identification of adsorber selectivity and capacity for the identification of a suitable membrane system. For this system, each potential MM membrane adsorber (MA) candidate is investigated in its high molecular weight species (HMWS) reduction potential for a given mAb feed stream and referenced to the performance of Capto™ Adhere. The introduced strategy can reduce the developmental effort in an early stage from three to two possible stationary phases. Thereafter, initial examinations at different ionic capacities enlighten one favorable stationary phase. Finalizing the development strategy procedure by studying five different MM ligands by HTS and confirming the study with a 2-3 MV higher dynamic breakthrough capacity in benchtop experiments and provides an insight in the benefits of a living process platform library.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mixed-mode reversed-phase/anion exchange liquid chromatography is useful for separations of mixtures containing anions (e.g. ionized acids). However, when using this form of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection, the bleed of amine-containing hydrolysis products from the columns may cause ion suppression or enhancement. METHODS Using electrospray ionization tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry detection, we determined the ion suppression or enhancement caused by column bleed for three mixed-mode reversed-phase/weak anion-exchange columns containing stationary phases that differ in chemical structure. Two of the stationary phases are based on silica particles, while the third uses ethylene-bridged hybrid organic/inorganic particles, which have improved hydrolytic stability. Mixtures of acidic and basic analytes were combined with the chromatography flow postcolumn, both with and without a column, and their mass spectrometry ion signal responses (peak areas) were determined. The ratio of signal response with and without a column is the matrix factor. Positive ion electrospray measurements were carried out using 0.1% formic acid (pH ~ 2.7) as a mobile phase additive, and 10mM ammonium formate (pH ~ 6.4) was used for negative ion electrospray detection. RESULTS The matrix factors under both positive and negative ionization modes were closest to 1 (0.74-1.16) for the hybrid particle-based columns, showing minimal ion suppression or enhancement. In contrast, the silica-based columns gave matrix factors ranging from 0.04 to 1.86, indicating high levels of ion suppression or enhancement. These results may be explained by the differences in the structures of the stationary phases, which affect the relative amounts of hydrolysis products that elute from the columns. CONCLUSIONS The low levels of mass spectrometry ion suppression or enhancement caused by column bleed from the hybrid particle-based columns should allow for accurate quantitative mass spectrometric detection combined with mixed-mode reversed-phase/weak anion-exchange chromatography.

Abstract
The regularities of the retention of alkanoic and alkanesulfonic acids homologues were investigated for the set of 36 anion-exchange columns produced by various manufacturers. The role of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions in the retention and separation of organic anions was studied. The methylene selectivity increments α(CH2) were measured for the studied columns with 10 mM sodium hydroxide eluent. The influence of matrix, surface area, polar group structure, ion-exchange capacity, the density of charged functional groups on the surface and other characteristics of anion-exchangers on resin hydrophobicity was considered. A unified approach for the measurements of hydrophobic properties of anion-exchange resins is proposed and the ratio of chloride retention factor (k Cl) to α(CH2) was introduced as mixed-mode factor. The synergetic effect of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions was observed.

Abstract
In this work, the conventional reactions were used to functionalize the silica surface with amide and hydrocarbon chain groups affording two different mixed-mode stationary phases (Sil-amide-C11 and Sil-C12-amide). The prepared stationary phases were analyzed by elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The retention of benzene, phenol, pyridine, and aniline was investigated and compared with synthesized and commercial columns, and this led to prove the existence of different interactions on the synthesized stationary phases. The mixed-mode stationary phases showed multiple interactions, and different chromatography modes were found under distinct chromatographic conditions. According to the type of amide group (either free or within the hydrocarbon chain), different interactions can be made on the columns. The alkylbenzenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as nonpolar hydrocarbons, were chromatographed under reversed-phase liquid chromatography modes, in which amide groups on the silica could efficiently separate polar analytes under hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode in both prepared stationary phases. The performance of the columns was compared by the separation of the carboxylic acid group and biological samples. The bonding method and the type of amide group showed different interactions leading to different separation and performance.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography is an alternative liquid chromatography mode for separation of polar compounds. In the recent years, this liquid chromatography mode has been recognized as an important solution for the analysis of compounds not amenable to reverse phase chromatography. In this work, we evaluated three different hydrophilic liquid chromatography stationary phases for the determination of 14 highly polar anionic molecules including pesticides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, ethephon and fosetyl, their main metabolites, and bromide, chlorate, and perchlorate. Several mobile phase compositions were evaluated combined with different gradients for the chromatographic run. The two columns that presented the best results were used to assess the performance for the determination of the 14 compounds in challenging highly complex feed materials. Very different matrix effects were observed for most of the compounds in each column, suggesting that different interactions can occur. Using isotopically labeled internal standards, acceptable quantitative performance and identification could be achieved down to 0.02 mg kg-1 (the lowest level tested) for most compounds. While one column was found to be favorable in terms of scope (suited for all 14 compounds), the other one was more suited for quantification and identification at lower levels, however, not for all analytes tested.

Abstract
Nucleotides fulfill many essential functions in plants. Compared to non-plant systems, these hydrophilic metabolites have not been adequately investigated in plants, especially the less abundant nucleotide species such as deoxyribonucleotides and modified or damaged nucleotides. Until recently, this was mainly due to a lack of adequate methods for in-depth analysis of nucleotides and nucleosides in plants. In this review, we focus on the current state-of-the-art of nucleotide analysis in plants with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and describe recent major advances. Tissue disruption, quenching, liquid-liquid and solid-phase extraction, chromatographic strategies, and peculiarities of nucleotides and nucleosides in mass spectrometry are covered. We describe how the different steps of the analytical workflow influence each other, highlight the specific challenges of nucleotide analysis, and outline promising future developments. The metabolite matrix of plants is particularly complex. Therefore, it is likely that nucleotide analysis methods that work for plants can be applied to other organisms as well. Although this review focuses on plants, we also discuss advances in nucleotide analysis from non-plant systems to provide an overview of the analytical techniques available for this challenging class of metabolites.

Abstract
We have characterized Atlantis ethylene‐bridged hybrid C18 anion‐exchange, a mixed‐mode reversed‐phase/weak anion‐exchange stationary phase designed to give greater retention for anions (e.g., ionized acids) compared to conventional reversed‐phase materials. The retention and selectivity of this stationary phase were compared to that of three benchmark materials, using a mixture of six polar compounds that includes an acid, two bases, and three neutrals. The compatibility of the ethylene‐bridged hybrid C18 anion‐exchange material with 100% aqueous mobile phases was also evaluated. We investigated the batch‐to‐batch reproducibility of the ethylene‐bridged hybrid C18 anion‐exchange stationary phase for 27 batches across three different particle sizes (1.7, 2.5, and 5 μm) and found it to be comparable to that of one of the most reproducible C18 stationary phases. We also characterized the acid and base stability of the ethylene‐bridged hybrid C18 anion‐exchange stationary phase and the results show it to be usable over a wide pH range, from 2 to 10. The extended upper pH limit relative to silica‐based reversed‐phase/weak anion‐exchange materials is enabled by the use of ethylene‐bridged hybrid organic/inorganic particles. The improved base stability allows Atlantis ethylene‐bridged hybrid C18 anion‐exchange to be used with a wider range of mobile phase pH values, opening up a greater range of selectivity options.

Abstract
Eight different stationary phases based on two aminopropyl silicas of different brands suitable for multimodal chromatography applications have been prepared by a four-component Ugi reaction. The intention was to synthesize stationary phases significantly differing in their properties hereby demonstrating flexibility of the Ugi synthetic protocol. Diverse functional groups including a nonpolar long aliphatic chain, phenyl moiety, cholic acid scaffold, phenylboronic and monosaccharide units, charged betaine, and arginine moieties were immobilized on a silica surface. The novel sorbents were extensively characterized by elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and chromatography. Considering the anchored chemical structures covalently bonded to the silica surface, reversed-phase, hydrophilic, and ion-exchange separation modes were expected. The chromatographic evaluation was performed directed to map the potential of the individual columns specifically in the mentioned chromatographic modes. The Ugi synthetic protocol has proven to be a simple, feasible, and versatile tool for the synthesis of sorbents of variable properties. The newly prepared stationary phases differed considerably in hydrophobicity and ion-exchange ability. A significant influence of the supporting aminopropyl silica on the final chromatographic behavior was observed. Finally, one practical example confirming applicability of the newly prepared sorbents was demonstrated in separation of cytarabine.

Abstract
Recent years showed a boost in knowledge about the presence and fate of micropollutants in the environment. Instrumental and methodological developments mainly in liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry hold a large share in this success story. These techniques soon complemented gas chromatography and enabled the analysis of more polar compounds including pesticides but also household chemicals, food additives, and pharmaceuticals often present as traces in surface waters. In parallel, sample preparation techniques evolved to extract and enrich these compounds from biota and water samples. This review article looks at very polar and ionic compounds using the criterion log P ≤ 1. Considering about 240 compounds, we show that (simulated) log D values are often even lower than the corresponding log P values due to ionization of the compounds at our reference pH of 7.4. High polarity and charge are still challenging characteristics in the analysis of micropollutants and these compounds are hardly covered in current monitoring strategies of water samples. The situation is even more challenging in biota analysis given the large number of matrix constituents with similar properties. Currently, a large number of sample preparation and separation approaches are developed to meet the challenges of the analysis of very polar and ionic compounds. In addition to reviewing them, we discuss some trends: for sample preparation, preconcentration and purification efforts by SPE will continue, possibly using upcoming mixed-mode stationary phases and mixed beds in order to increase comprehensiveness in monitoring applications. For biota analysis, miniaturization and parallelization are aspects of future research. For ionic or ionizable compounds, we see electromembrane extraction as a method of choice with a high potential to increase throughput by automation. For separation, predominantly coupled to mass spectrometry, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography applications will increase as the polarity range ideally complements reversed phase liquid chromatography, and instrumentation and expertise are available in most laboratories. Two-dimensional applications have not yet reached maturity in liquid-phase separations to be applied in higher throughput. Possibly, the development and commercial availability of mixed-mode stationary phases make 2D applications obsolete in semi-targeted applications. An interesting alternative will enter routine analysis soon: supercritical fluid chromatography demonstrated an impressive analyte coverage but also the possibility to tailor selectivity for targeted approaches. For ionic and ionizable micropollutants, ion chromatography and capillary electrophoresis are amenable but may be used only for specialized applications such as the analysis of halogenated acids when aspects like desalting and preconcentration are solved and the key advantages are fully elaborated by further research.

Abstract
![]()
A new
class of cationic ion-interaction reagents for reversed-phase
chromatography is introduced in the present work. Compounds belonging
to a homologous series of linear fluoroalkyl chains including trifluoroethylamine
(TFEAm), pentafluoropropylamine (PFPAm), heptafluorobutylamine
(HFBAm), and nonafluoropentylamine (NFPAm) were
tested and compared with ammonia and triethylamine (TEA) for the separation
of selected organic acids of general interest such as the herbicides
glyphosate, ethephon, and fosamine and arsenic metabolites methylarsonic
acid and dimethylarsinic acid as well as other compounds. Depending
on the carbon and fluorine atom number, the fluoroalkylamines were
shown to be effective cationic ion-interaction reagents, significantly
enhancing the retention of organic acids on a C18 reversed-phase column.
Contrary to the general behavior of ion-interaction reagents (a broader
term than ion-pairing reagent), significant (up to 5-fold) and consistent
enhancement in the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry signal
(ESI-MS) was observed relative to ammonia and triethylamine. Overall,
among the tested series HFBAm was found to offer the best overall
properties among the tested series as it provided a good compromise
between column equilibration time (ca. 25 column volumes) and retention
behavior (up to a 10-fold increase in the retention factor of acids
relative to ammonia) while providing the same general advantages found
for the fluoroalkylamines such as fast washout times from the ESIMS
system (ca. 30 min) and a 3–5-fold signal enhancement. The
fluoroalkylamines are a new class of cationic ion-interaction reagents
with clear advantages over the currently employed alkylamines and
may revive the general interest in ion-interaction chromatography.

Abstract
Poly(ionic liquid)-modified stationary phases can have multiple interactions with solutes. However, in most stationary phases, separation selectivity is adjusted by changing the poly(ionic liquid) anions. In this work, two poly(ionic liquid)-modified silica stationary phases were prepared by introducing the cyano or tetrazolyl group on the pendant imidazolium cation on the polymer chains. Various analytes were selected to investigate their mechanism of retention in the stationary phases using different mobile phases. Two poly(ionic liquid)-modified stationary phases can provide various interactions toward solutes. Compared to the cyano-functionalized poly(ionic liquid) stationary phase, the tetrazolyl-functionalized poly(ionic liquid) stationary phase provides additional cation-exchange and π-π interactions, resulting in different separation selectivity toward analytes. Finally, applicability of the developed stationary phases was demonstrated by the efficient separation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Viruses still pose a significant threat to human and animal health worldwide. In the fight against viral infections, high-purity viral stocks are needed for manufacture of safer vaccines. It is also a priority to ensure the viral safety of biopharmaceuticals such as blood products. Chromatography techniques are widely implemented at both academic and industrial levels in the purification of viral particles, whole viruses and virus-like particles to remove viral contaminants from biopharmaceutical products. This paper focuses on polysaccharide adsorbents, particulate resins and membrane adsorbers, used in virus purification/removal chromatography processes. Different chromatographic modes are surveyed, with particular attention to ion exchange and affinity/pseudo-affinity adsorbents among which commercially available agarose-based resins (Sepharose®) and cellulose-based membrane adsorbers (Sartobind®) occupy a dominant position. Mainly built on the development of new ligands coupled to conventional agarose/cellulose matrices, the development perspectives of polysaccharide-based chromatography media in this antiviral area are stressed in the conclusive part. Chromatography has been and is still extensively implemented in virus purification/removal downstream processes. Typical application fields are the manufacturing of purified viral vaccines and virus-free biopharmaceuticals. Agarose and cellulose remain the primary polysaccharide bases for chromatography adsorbents in such virus-related applications. Present R&D studies mainly focus on multimodal chromatography and affinity ligands.

Abstract
The unique properties of covalent triazine-based organic framework/polymers, including large surface area, hydrophilic-lipophilic-balanced adsorption, and economical preparation, make it a promising candidate as a stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography. However, irregular shapes and wide size distributions of such particles hinder column packing, resulting in a low column efficiency or a high back pressure. Herein, we describe the fabrication of SiO2@ covalent triazine-based organic polymer (CTP) core-shell microspheres with a distinct sphere-coating-sphere appearance using aminosilica as the supporting substrate to grow the CTP shell. By adjusting the amount of reactants, the thickness of the CTP shell, which consists of triazine and 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene monomers, was easily controlled. The developed core-shell microspheres were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, and N2 adsorption experiments. The synergism of the triazine and aromatic moieties on CTP provides the new stationary phase with multiple retention mechanisms, including hydrophobic, π-π, electron donor-acceptor, hydrogen-bonding interactions, and so forth. On the basis of these interactions, successful separation and higher shape selectivity were achieved among several analytes that vary in polarity under both reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography conditions. Therefore, SiO2@CTP microspheres combine the advantages of good column packing properties of the uniform monodisperse silica microspheres and the recognition performance of CTP, generating flexible selectivity and application prospect for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic analytes.

Alzahrani E. Organic Boronate Affinity Sorbent for Capture of cis-Diol Containing Compounds

Abstract
Boronate affinity chromatography (BAC) is argued to be a critical tool in specific capture and separation of cis-diol containing compounds. In present study, organic boronate affinity monolith poly(3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) (AAPBA-co-EDMA) is prepared through one-step in situ polymerization procedure within a micropipette through the application of a pre-polymerization mixture which contains functional monomer (3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid), cross-linker (ethylene dimethacrylate), porogenic solvent (methanol with poly ethylene glycol) and initiator (2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-acetophenone). Following the optimization of time exposure to UV lamp with 365 nm, the macroporous organic boronate monolith was selected. Several approaches including SEM and BET analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and measuring contact angle were applied in the characterization of the morphology of the monolith. Several cis-diol compounds that include catechol and galactose are applied in the assessment of the boronate affinity of the organic monolithic material. Additionally, the capture of glucose from urine sample is also conducted. The basic principle of the
approach is that boronic acid forms covalent bond with cis-diols in basic solutions whereas the ester bonds are dissociated under acidic media. By using the study results, monolith demonstrate good selectivity towards cis-diol containing compounds. Due to the hydrophilic property of monolith, the affinity chromatography monolith can be performed for several cis-diol compounds including glycoproteins and nucleosides. Also, fabrication of the organic boronate monolithic in microfluidic equipment is essential in facilitating the extraction of boronate affinity using small-volume samples.

Abstract
The development of a stationary phase material for high-performance liquid chromatography based on a surface of silica hydride as opposed to silanols on ordinary silica is discussed including synthetic approaches, characterization, and applications. There are several synthetic approaches available to create a silica hydride surface. Modification of the Si–H moiety on the silica surface can be accomplished through the use of a hydrosilation reaction. Both the intermediate silica hydride and the material modified with an organic moiety can be characterized by a number of spectroscopic as well as a variety of other methods. Further insights into the retention mechanism are provided through chromatographic measurements. The ultimate utility of any chromatographic stationary phase material is determined by its success in solving challenging analytical problems. A broad range of applications is reviewed to illustrate the versatility and usefulness of silica hydride-based stationary phases.

Abstract
A new water-soluble tetra-proline-modified calix[4]arene-bonded silica stationary phase was prepared straightforwardly by an indirect method and characterized by elemental analysis, energy dispersive Spectrometry, solid-state 13 C NMR spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Due to the simultaneous introduction of polar tetra-proline and nonpolar calix[4]arene, the developed column possessing a double retention mode of reverse-phase liquid chromatography and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. A series of hydrophobic and hydrophilic test samples, including nucleosides and nucleotides, amines, monosubstituted benzenes, chiral compounds, and phenols, were used to evaluate the developed stationary phase. A rapid separation capability, high separation efficiency, and selectivity were achieved based on the multiple interactions between solutes and tetra-proline-modified calix[4]arene-bonded silica stationary phase. Moreover, the developed stationary phase was further used to detect and separate hexamethylenetetramine in rice flour. All the results indicated the potential merits of the developed stationary phase for simultaneous separation of complex hydrophobic and hydrophilic samples with high selectivity.
