Abstract
Microfluidic and capillary devices are increasingly being used in analytical applications while their overall size keeps decreasing. Detection sensitivity for these microdevices gains more importance as device sizes and consequently, sample volumes, decrease. This paper reviews optical, electrochemical, electrical, and mass spectrometric detection methods that are applicable to capillary scale and microfluidic devices, with brief introduction to the principles in each case. Much of this is considered in the context of separations. We do consider theoretical aspects of separations by open tubular liquid chromatography, arguably the most potentially fertile area of separations that has been left fallow largely because of lack of scale-appropriate detection methods. We also examine the theoretical basis of zone electrophoretic separations. Optical detection methods discussed include UV/Vis absorbance, fluorescence, chemiluminescence and refractometry. Amperometry is essentially the only electrochemical detection method used in microsystems. Suppressed conductance and especially contactless conductivity (admittance) detection are in wide use for the detection of ionic analytes. Microfluidic devices, integrated to various mass spectrometers, including ESI-MS, APCI-MS, and MALDI-MS are discussed. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of each detection method and compare the best reported limits of detection in as uniform a format as the available information allows. While this review pays more attention to recent developments, our primary focus has been on the novelty and ingenuity of the approach, regardless of when it was first proposed, as long as it can be potentially relevant to miniature platforms.

Talanta 2024; 270:125617. [PMID: 38176250 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125617] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
As a novel class of stationary phase materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have shown great promise in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. However, the current preparation of COFs coating capillaries heavily relies on tedious and time-consuming covalent bond methods. In this work, a novel, simple and rapid adsorption method was developed for fabrication of TPB-DMTP COF (fabricated from 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TPB) and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldehyde (DMTP)) coated capillary. Due to the crystallization process of the COF is greatly shortened because pre-modification capillary does not require silane coupling agent, this method enables the rapid preparation of COFs-coated capillaries. The organic molecular building units only need 25 min to form a stable COFs coating on the inner wall of a capillary by this method. To our knowledge, this is the shortest method for preparing COFs coated capillary up to now. The performance of the TPB-DMTP COF coated capillary was evaluated by using phthalate esters as model analytes. The results demonstrated that the TPB-DMTP COF coated capillary has excellent repeatability and stability. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the analyte's retention time of intra-day, inter-day and column-to-column were in the range of 0.05 %-0.27 %, 0.31 %-0.63 % and 0.31 %-0.88 %, respectively. And, no significant changes were observed in separation efficiency and retention time after over 200 runs. Finally, the TPB-DMTP COF coated capillary was applied for the determination of phthalates in marketed plastic bag and the recovery ranged from 88.0 % to 114.0 %.

A bioinspired approach for the modulation of electroosmotic flow and protein-surface interactions in capillary electrophoresis using silylated amino-amides blocks and covalent grafting. Electrophoresis 2024; 45:557-572. [PMID: 38161236 DOI: 10.1002/elps.202300168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
We explore a bioinspired approach to design tailored functionalized capillary electrophoresis (CE) surfaces based on covalent grafting for biomolecules analysis. First, the approach aims to overcome well-known common obstacles in CE protein analysis affecting considerably the CE performance (asymmetry, resolution, and repeatability) such as the unspecific adsorption on fused silica surface and the lack of control of electroosmotic flow (EOF). Then, our approach, which relies on new amino-amide mimic hybrid precursors synthesized by silylation of amino-amides (Si-AA) derivatives with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane, aims to recapitulate the diversity of protein-protein interactions (π-π stacking, ionic, Van der Waals…) found in physiological condition (bioinspired approach) to improve the performance of CE protein analysis (electrochromatography). As a proof of concept, these silylated Si-AA (tyrosinamide silylation, serinamide silylation, argininamide silylation, leucinamide silylation, and isoglutamine silylation acid) have been covalently grafted in physiological conditions in different amount on bare fused silica capillary giving rise to a biomimetic coating and allowing both the modulation of EOF and protein-surface interactions. The analytical performances of amino-amide functionalized capillaries were assessed using lysozyme, cytochrome C and ribonuclease A and compared to traditional capillary coatings poly(ethylene oxide), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and sodium poly(styrenesulfonate). EOF, protein adsorption rate, protein retention factor k, and selectivity were determined for each coating. All results obtained showed this approach allowed to modulate the EOF, reduce unspecific adsorption, and generate specific interactions with proteins by varying the nature and the amount of Si-AA in the functionalization mixture.

Abstract
Fabricating polymeric coatings that are responsive to multiple/dual stimuli is crucial and remains a major challenge in the development of highly efficient open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC). In this study, a pH and temperature-responsive block copolymer, poly(styrene-maleic anhydride 2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate), P(St-MAn-DMAEMA), was designed and synthesized. Using P(St-MAn-DMAEMA) as the coating, an OT-CEC protocol was constructed for the analysis of chromones. The morphology and hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity of the polymeric coating could change via varying the environmental conditions, affecting the separation efficiency of OT-CEC. Interestingly, the best performance of OT-CEC was achieved at pH 9.7 and 45 °C via tuning the interactions between the coating and the analytes. Additionally, the proposed OT-CEC method exhibited a good linear range for the detection of the three test chromones from 10.0 to 100.0 μM, with all correlation coefficients (R2) >0.997. The coatings also had good stability and reusability. This work provides an approach for the preparation of new multiple-stimuli-responsive polymeric coatings for the establishment of OT-CEC systems.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), which are salts in a molten state below 100 °C, have become a hot topic of research in various fields because of their negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, and tunable viscosity. Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) can be applied in chromatography and capillary electrophoresis fields to improve the performance of enantiomeric separation, such as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and mobile phase additives in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); CSPs in gas chromatography (GC); and background electrolyte additives (BGE), chiral ligands and chiral selectors (CSs) in capillary electrophoresis (CE). This review focuses on the applications of CILs in HPLC and CE for the separation of enantiomers in the past five years. The mechanism for separating enantiomers was explained, and the prospect of the application of CILs in chiral liquid chromatography (LC) and CE analysis was also discussed.

Abstract
Silica nanospheres (SNS) were grown on the inner walls of silica capillaries through a dynamic in situ nucleation process to prepare a highly porous and large accessible surface area substrate. The SNS were then functionalized with octadecyl (C18), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and amino groups to develop robust and efficient chromatographic stationary phases. The modified silica capillaries were exploited for open-tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC) and open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) applications. The prepared stationary phases were compared to conventional capillaries in terms of separation performance. The synthesis process was optimized, and the bonded-phase stationary phases were characterized by the electron microscopy technique. The effects of different solvents, additives, and functional groups on the geometry and chromatographic resolving power of the SNS were envisaged. The capillaries modified with octadecyl groups were evaluated for the separation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenones, alkenylbenzenes, and enantiomers of chlorophenoxy herbicides. As an application instance, an SNS-C18-coated capillary was utilized for the separation of alkenylbenzenes from clove extract and protein digest medium, through OT-LC and OT-CEC techniques, respectively. The β-CD functionalized capillary was applied for the OT-CEC separation of a dichlorprop racemic mixture.

Abstract
A chiral metal-organic framework L-Histidine-Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (L-His-ZIF-67) was synthesized by the mixture of chiral organic ligand L-histidine and non-chiral organic ligand 2-methylimidazole directly, and to the author's knowledge, the chiral L-His-ZIF-67 coated capillary column we prepared has still not been reported to date in the field of capillary electrophoresis. This chiral metal-organic frameworks material was used as the chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation of drugs by open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. The separation conditions such as pH value, buffer concentration and proportion of organic modifier were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the established enantioseparation system achieved good separation effect, and the resolution of five chiral drugs: esmolol (7.93), nefopam (3.03), salbutamol (2.42), scopolamine (1.08) and sotalol (0.81). In addition, the chiral recognition mechanism of L-His-ZIF-67 was elucidated by a series of mechanism experiments, and the specific interaction force was preliminarily speculated.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive block copolymers have exhibited their feasibility for drug delivery and analysis of biomolecules. However, study of the electrophoretic behavior of antibiotics by open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) based on smart block copolymers coatings is still a substantial challenge. Herein, we reported an OT-CEC protocol for analysis of cephalosporin antibiotics with pH-responsive block copolymers as coatings. By using the reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfers radical polymerisation technique, the smart poly(styrene-maleic anhydride-acrylic acid) (P(St-MAn-AA)) was synthesized and subsequently chemical bonded onto the inner walls of amino-grafted capillaries. The pH induced changes in the stretch/curl states of P(St-MAn-AA) chains were used to generate an adjustable hydrophobic/hydrophilic interaction and hydrogen bonds between the polymer coatings and the analytes. The OT-CEC performance was evaluated by varying the monomer ratios, polymer coating amounts and layers, buffer concentrations and pH values. Baseline separation of the three-test antibiotics was achieved at pH 8.0. The proposed OT-CEC technique was further applied to the determination of rat serum antibiotics in the metabolic processes. The present work demonstrates an enhancement in antibiotics separation efficiency, and shows a great potential for the preparation of stimuli-responsive block copolymers coatings and in OT-CEC analysis of real samples in living bio-systems.

Abstract
The facile preparation of a monolithic capillary column with surface bound polar ligands for use in hydrophilic interaction capillary electrochromatography is described. It involved the conversion of poly(carboxyethyl acrylate[CEA]-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate[EDMA]) precursor monolith (the so-called carboxy monolith) into a Tris bonded monolith by a post-polymerization functionalization process in the presence of a water soluble carbodiimide, namely N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N´-ethylcarbodiimidehydrochloride. The carbodiimide assisted conversion, allowed the covalent attachment of the carboxyl group of the precursor monolith to the amino group of the Tris ligand via a stable amide linkage. This resulted in the formation of Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith, which exhibited the typical retention behavior of hydrophilic interaction stationary phase when analyzing polar and slightly polar neutral or charged compounds. In fact, neutral polar species such as dimethylformamide, formamide and thiourea were retained in the order of increased polarity with acetonitrile rich mobile phase. Also, neutral p-nitrophenyl maltooligosaccharides (PNP-maltooligosaccharides) served as a polar homologous series for gauging the hydrophilicity of the Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith, thus forming a versatile testing homologous series for other hydrophilic columns. Other polar anionic species (e.g., hydroxy benzoic acids and nucleotides) and weakly polar anionic compounds (e.g., dansyl amino acids and phenoxy acid herbicides) as well as polar weak bases namely nucleobases and nucleosides were used to probe the hydrophilic characters of the Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith. The various polar and weakly polar compounds just mentioned revealed the wide potentiality of the hydrophilic interaction column under investigation.

Abstract
Characterization of proteomes aims to comprehensively characterize proteins in cells or tissues via two main strategies: (1) bottom-up strategy based on the separation and identification of enzymatic peptides; (2) top-down strategy based on the separation and identification of intact proteins. However, it is challenged by the high complexity of proteomes. Consequently, the improvements in peptide and protein separation technologies for simplifying the sample should be critical. In this feature article, separation columns for peptide and protein separation were introduced, and peptide separation technologies for bottom-up proteomic analysis as well as protein separation technologies for top-down proteomic analysis were summarized. The achievement, recent development, limitation and future trends are discussed. Besides, the outlook on challenges and future directions of chromatographic separation in the field of proteomics was also presented.

Abstract
A 25 µm i.d x 1.2 m length PS-DVB porous layer open tubular column (PLOT) was prepared and assessed in the configuration of a nano liquid chromatography coupled to an electron ionization mass spectrometry system (OT-nanoLC-EI-Ms), via the direct insertion of the column outlet into the ionization source. The developed system's operational parameters were comprehensively studied, and the setup performance was investigated employing both unidimensional and column switching configurations. As a result, the OT-nanoLC-EI-MS system demonstrated competitive applicability in separating non-amenable ESI compounds, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and non-amenable GC compounds such as thermolabile pesticides. Furthermore, with excellent chromatographic performance, the PLOT columns can work under more compatible EI-detection conditions - such as the elution with 100% organic solvent. For example, PAHs retention factors ranged between 1.5 and 2.2 for 100% MeCN mobile phase, and more than 33,000 plates per meter for naphthalene at 50 nL/min flow rate. In analyzing thermolabile pesticides, the column switching PLOT-nanoLC-EI-MS system provided LODs of 25 µg/L, demonstrating suitable intra e interday reproducibility (% RSD < 13%, n = 3), and possibilities the direct injection of raw samples with suitable robustness.

Abstract
So far, the potential of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in the application fields has been increasingly excavated due to the advantages of simple operation, short analysis time, high-resolution, less sample consumption and low cost. This review examines the implementations and advancements of CE in different application fields (environmental, pharmaceutical, clinical and food analysis) covering the literature from 2019 to 2021. In addition, ultrasmall sample injection volume (nanoliter range) and short optical path lead to relatively low concentration sensitivity of the most frequently used UV-absorption spectrophotometric detection, so the pretreatment technology being developed has been gradually utilized to overcome this problem. Despite the review is focused on the development of CE in the fields of environmental, pharmaceutical, clinical and food analysis, the new sample pretreatment techniques of microextraction and enrichment which fit excellently to CE in recent three years are also described briefly.

Abstract
Chromatography is one of the most important separation techniques in analytical chemistry. In which, the separation materials are the core for good separation results. Poly (amide-amine) dendrimers with regular three-dimensional structure, abundant terminal groups, controllable molecule chains, and unique cavities appear to have a positive impact on chromatographic separation materials. In the past decades, poly (amide-amine) grafted adsorbents and stationary phases have presented high grafting efficiency, controllable surface structure, good dispersion, and wide practical applications. In this review, the prepared poly (amide-amine) functionalized separation materials and their applications are systematically summarized. Functions, significance, structure-actvity relationships and benefits of poly (amide-amine) dendrimers in the proposed separation materials are discussed in detail. And we hope to provide a useful reference for the future development of chromatographic separation materials and inspire new discoveries in the study of poly (amide-amine) functionalized materials.

Abstract
The chiral separation of various analytes (dichlorprop, mecoprop, ibuprofen, and ketoprofen) was demonstrated with different cyclodextrins as mobile phase additives in open‐tubular liquid chromatography using a stationary pseudophase semipermanent coating. The stable coating was prepared by a successive multiple ionic layer approach using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), polystyrene sulfonate, and didodecyldimethyl ammonium bromide. Increasing concentrations (0–0.2 mM) of various native and derivatized cyclodextrins in 25 mM sodium tetraborate (pH 9.2) were investigated. Chiral separation was achieved for the four test analytes using 0.05–0.1 mM β‐cyclodextrin (resolution between 1.11 and 1.34), γ‐cyclodextrin (resolution between 0.78 and 1.27), carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (resolution between 1.64 and 2.59), and 2‐hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (resolution between 0.71 and 1.76) with the highest resolutions obtained with 0.1 mM carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin. %RSD values were <10%. This is the first demonstration of chiral open‐tubular liquid chromatography using achiral chromatographic coatings and cyclodextrins as mobile phase additives.

Abstract
In-line sample concentration by micelle to cyclodextrin stacking (MCDS) in open-tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC) with UV detection is described. OT-LC of two sets of analytes (small-molecule drugs and neutral alkenylbenzenes) was by the use of a fused-silica capillary that was coated with admicelles of didodecyldimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB). These admicelles acted as a stationary chromatographic pseudophase. The mobile phase was 25 mM sodium tetraborate in 10% methanol, pH 9.2. MCDS was by long pressure injection of samples prepared in 10 mM hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in 25 mM sodium tetraborate, pH 9.2 (buffer), followed by injection of 50 mM α-CD in buffer (CD solution). Stacking was by application of voltage at -20 kV prior to pressure-driven OT-LC. The factors that influenced MCDS such as type and concentration of CD, concentration of CTAB in the sample, injection time ratio of the sample and the CD solution and stacking time were studied. Under optimised conditions, sensitivity enhancement factors (SEFs) were between 19 and 23, linear ranges were between 0.5 and 10 µg/mL with r2 > 0.99 and inter-day/intra-day repeatability in retention time and peak area were ≤5.6% for the model small-molecule drugs. Application to real samples was by the determination of potentially toxic alkenylbenzenes (SEFs = 10 to 12) in basil-leaf and whole-clove extracts. The assay results were comparable to those obtained from an in-house high-performance liquid chromatography-UV method.

Abstract
We describe the chromatographic and electrochromatographic separation of small neutral and charged analytes using a fused silica capillary with a stationary pseudophase semi-permanent coating of didodecyldimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) aggregates. The coating was prepared by flushing the capillary with a DDAB solution that was rinsed out with the mobile phase. Our studies (i.e., electroosmotic flow measurements by capillary electrophoresis, chromatographic retention of a neutral probe and atomic force microscopy) suggested the formation of DDAB patchy admicelle, complete admicelle, or larger aggregates at the solid surface - liquid interface inside the capillary, depending on the concentration of DDAB used in coating the capillary. The analytical figures of merit for open tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC, pressure driven) and open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC, voltage driven) using a capillary coated with 0.5 mM DDAB and mobile phase/background solution of 25 mM borate buffer at pH 9.5 with 10% MeOH were the following: LOD = 3.0-5.0 µg/mL (OT-LC) and 2.5-5.0 µg/mL (OT-CEC); linearity R2 > 0.99 (peak area (OT-LC) and corrected peak area (OT-CEC)), intraday and interday repeatability%RSD < 5% (n = 12) for retention/migration time, peak area (OT-LC) and corrected peak area (OT-CEC). The reversed-phase and anion-exchange property of the stationary pseudophase was studied by the addition of organic solvents and sodium chloride to the mobile phase, respectively. We also demonstrate the increase in the ks of the tested analytes by implementing successive multiple ionic layer (SMIL) coating strategies with DDAB in combination with a cationic and/or anionic polyelectrolyte. The use of a stationary pseudophase coating is potentially an easy alternative way to conduct open-tubular liquid chromatography and electrochromatography.

Evaluation of homochiral zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 supported open-tubular column by miniaturized capillary electrochromatography with amperometric detection. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:375.

Abstract
A novel kind of chiral open-tubular (OT) column was established with homochiral zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanomaterials using L-histidine as the chiral carbon center (L-His-ZIF-8). The morphologies of L-His-ZIF-8 nanoparticles and chiral OT column were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of L-His-ZIF-8 concentrations, pH values, and concentrations of the running buffer on the resolution of the selected chiral compounds were investigated based on miniaturized capillary electrochromatography with amperometric detection system (mini-CEC-AD), respectively. The separation performances of the prepared L-His-ZIF-8@OT chiral columns were explored under the optimal conditions, and the RSDs of run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column reproducibility were less than 6.7% using salbutamol raceme as the model enantiomers. The prepared chiral OT columns have been successfully applied to the enantioseparation of one pair of amino acid enantiomers, two pairs of racemic drugs, and three pairs of neurotransmitter enantiomers. Under the optimum conditions, the prepared OT columns were applied to real-world sample analysis of salbutamol aerosol. The limits of detection of salbutamol raceme were 0.90 μg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), and the recovery was 80.4-82.7%. The assay results indicated that this kind of chiral OT column modified with homochiral L-His-ZIF-8 possesses good reproducibility and stability. This developed mini-OT-CEC-AD system has some attractive characteristics of sensitivity and low cost, providing a potential way for the separation of chiral compounds.

Abstract
Enhancing the specific surface area of stationary phase is important in chromatographic science, especially in open-tubular column in which the coating only exists on the inner surface. In this work, a porous layer open-tubular (PLOT) column with stationary phase of styrene and itaconic acid-copolymerized polymer was developed. Thermal-initiated polymerization method with strategies like controlling the ratio of reaction reagents to solvents and reaction time, confinement by the narrow inner diameter of capillary were used for preparing the stationary phase with uniform structure and relatively thick layer. Due to the high separation efficiency and capacity, the PLOT column was used for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separation of multiple groups of analytes like alkylbenzenes, phenyl amines, phenols, vanillins, and sulfonamides with theoretical plates (N) up to 1,54,845 N/m. In addition, due to high permeability of the CEC column and large electroosmotic flow mobility generated by abundant carboxyl groups in the coating material, the PLOT-CEC column was successfully coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) through a sheath flow interface. The developed PLOT-CEC-MS method was used for the analysis of antiseptics like parabens and herbicides like pyridines.

Abstract
A large number of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited increasingly wide utilization in the field of chromatographic separation owing to their intrinsic fascinating properties. However, the previous studies on supported MOF coating-based chromatographic separation focused only on the synthesis and chromatographic performance of a certain kind of supported MOF coatings as stationary phases using the multiple-step, complicated, and time-consuming modification methods, which severely impeded the widespread application of MOFs in separation science. Herein, a high-efficiency and versatile methodology toward diverse supported MOF coating-based stationary phases to achieve high-efficiency chromatographic separation was first reported based on the immobilized cysteine (Cys)-triggered in situ growth (ICISG) strategy. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, four types of MOF crystals consisting of different ligands and metal ions (Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Zr4+) were conveniently and firmly grown on a Cys-modified capillary using the ICISG strategy and employed as the functional stationary phase for electrochromatographic separation. A broad variety of neutral, acidic, and basic compounds were all separated in a highly efficient manner on the developed four MOF-coated columns. The maximum theoretical plate number for Cys-MIL-100(Fe)@capillary was close to 1.0 × 105 plates/m, and the intraday, interday, and column-to-column repeatabilities of retention times for the four MOF-modified columns were all less than 5.25%. More interestingly, the diversified separation performance of the developed MOF-coated columns indicated that the preparation strategy and the skeletal structure of the MOF coating-based stationary phases have a significant influence on the electrochromatographic separation performance and column capacity. Benefiting from the strong universality and high applicability of the developed ICISG strategy, the present study provides an effective route to facilitate the design and fabrication of novel functional MOF-based chromatographic stationary phases.

Preparation of a polydopamine/β-cyclodextrin coated open tubular capillary electrochromatography column and application for enantioseparation of five proton pump inhibitors. J Sep Sci 2021; 44:3295-3304. [PMID: 34185396 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
An open tubular capillary electrochromatography column was prepared by immobilizing β-cyclodextrin on the inner wall of pretreated capillary via noncovalent adsorption of polydopamine. The resulting coating layer on the capillary was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Electroosmotic flow was studied to evaluate the variation of the immobilized columns. The prepared columns showed good chiral separation performance toward five proton pump inhibitors including lansoprazole, pantoprazole, tenatoprazole, rabeprazole, and omeprazole. The influences of β-cyclodextrin concentration, coating time, buffer pH, buffer concentration, and applied voltage on separation were investigated. In the optimum conditions, the enantiomers of five analytes were fully resolved within 15 min with high resolutions of 4.57 to 8.13. The method was extensively validated in terms of accuracy, precision, and linearity and proved to be robust. The relative standard deviation values for migration times and peak areas of the analytes representing intraday and interday were less than 1.9 and 3.6%, respectively. Further, the polydopamine/β-cyclodextrin coated capillary column could be successively used over 100 runs without showing significant decrease in the separation efficiency.

[PMID: 34071244 PMCID: PMC8228529 DOI: 10.3390/toxins13060387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Alkenylbenzenes are potentially toxic (genotoxic and carcinogenic) compounds present in plants such as basil, tarragon, anise star and lemongrass. These plants are found in various edible consumer products, e.g., popularly used to flavour food. Thus, there are concerns about the possible health consequences upon increased exposure to alkenylbenzenes especially due to food intake. It is therefore important to constantly monitor the amounts of alkenylbenzenes in our food chain. A major challenge in the determination of alkenylbenzenes in foods is the complexity of the sample matrices and the typically low amounts of alkenylbenzenes present. This review will therefore discuss the background and importance of analytical separation methods from papers reported from 2010 to 2020 for the determination of alkenylbenzenes in foods and related products. The separation techniques commonly used were gas and liquid chromatography (LC). The sample preparation techniques used in conjunction with the separation techniques were various variants of extraction (solvent extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, liquid-phase microextraction, solid phase extraction) and distillation (steam and hydro-). Detection was by flame ionisation and mass spectrometry (MS) in gas chromatography (GC) while in liquid chromatography was mainly by spectrophotometry.

Abstract
Miniaturization of column diameter in liquid chromatography is one of the major trends in separation sciences toward single-cell proteomics and metabolomics. Micro/nanoscale open tubular (OT) capillaries are promising tools for efficient separation analyses of the ultra-small volume of samples. However, highly sensitive and label-free on-column detection is still challenging for such ultra-small capillaries. In this study, we developed a photothermal detector using optical diffraction phenomena by a single nanocapillary. Our detection method realized concentration determination of unlabeled sample solutions in a nanocapillary with 460 nm inner diameter. The calculated limit of detection was 0.12 µM, which corresponds to 16 molecules in a detection volume of 0.23 fL. Furthermore, normal-phase chromatography was performed on a 12 cm long nanocapillary, and femtoliter sample injection, efficient separation, and label-free detection of dye molecules were demonstrated. Our photothermal detector will be widely used as a universal tool for chemical/biological analyses using capillaries with micro/nanoscale diameters.

Abstract
A uniform Schiff base network (SNW) film was synthesized in situ in a controllable way through continuous flow of reactants inside the capillary. The properties and application of the as-prepared capillary was investigated in capillary electrochromatography. The effects of reaction monomer concentration and reaction time on coating thickness were studied by SEM. The results show that the reaction condition has a significant influence on the morphology and thickness of the SNW films. The thickness of the film can be controlled by changing the concentration of reaction solution and reaction time. Capillaries coated under different conditions were employed to separate four nucleotides by capillary electrochromatography, which demonstrated significant variation of migration time, peak order, and separation efficiency. Analytes containing nitrogen heterocycle structures, such as nucleotides, methylimidazole isomers, and β-lactam antibiotics, were successfully separated with the prepared open-tubular columns. Under the selected separation conditions, theoretical plate number of four nucleotides is in a range 45,237-104,505 plates·m-1, and the resolutions are 1.98-8.07. A resolution of 1.75 is obtained for methylimidazole isomers. The nucleotides in a real sample, chicken essence seasoning, were determined using the prepared capillary column with satisfactory recoveries in the range 95 to 105%.

Abstract
Open tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC) can provide superior chromatographic performance and more favorable mass spectrometry (MS) detection conditions. These features could provide enhanced sensitivity when coupled with electrospray ionization sources (ESI-) and lead to unprecedented detection capabilities if interfaced with a highly structural informative electron ionization (EI) source. In the past, the exploitation of OT columns in liquid chromatography evolved slowly. However, the recent instrumental developments in capillary/nanoLC-MS created new opportunities in developing and applying OT-LC-MS. Currently, the analytical advantages of OT-LC-MS are mainly exploited in the fields of proteomics and biosciences analysis. Nevertheless, under the right conditions, OT-LC-MS can also offer superior chromatographic performance and enhanced sensitivity in analyzing small molecules. This review will provide an overview of the latest developments in OT-LC-MS, focusing on the wide variety of employed separation mechanisms, innovative stationary phases, emerging column fabrication technologies, and new OT formats. In the same way, the OT-LC's opportunities and shortcomings coupled to both ESI and EI will be discussed, highlighting the complementary character of those two ionization modes to expand the LC's detection boundaries in the performance of targeted and untargeted studies.

Abstract
This review summarizes the progress in open tubular ion chromatography (OTIC) over the period from 1981 to 2020. Although OTIC columns provide superior column efficiency, require very little sample volumes, and consume a minimum level of eluents compared to regular packed columns, not many reports can be found from the literature mainly due to the difficulties in the preparation of OTIC columns and the harsh system requirements, such as pL-nL injections and extremely small detection volumes. However, technical advances, e.g., capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors (C4Ds), hydroxide eluent compatible polymer-based OTIC columns, electrodialytic capillary suppressors, and nanovolume gas-free hydroxide eluent generators (EGs), have removed the obstacles to OTIC. As such, in this review, the author focused on the development of the key components in an OTIC system from the perspective of instrument development. A brief revisit of open tubular (OT) column theory is first presented, followed by a discussion of the system configuration and component development. Attention is given to the advances in the development of the suppressed open tubular ion chromatography (SOTIC) system.

A comparison of 2 micron inner diameter open tubular column liquid chromatography with pressure-driven isocratic, slip-flow, and electrochromatographic modes of operation: a theoretical study. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1638:461818.

Abstract
Modifications to the flow profile used in open tube capillary liquid chromatography (OT-CLC) include using slip-flow walls and using electroosmosis as a fluid pump as practiced in electrochromatography. These modifications are implemented experimentally by changing the capillary surface and solvent conditions which results in the change of boundary conditions at the capillary wall. In this paper we employ a theory-based study and compare the zone broadening of simple solutes using parabolic flow from a liquid pump, slip-flow from a highly hydrophobic inner surface with water eluent, and electroosmosis for the conditions of pure water and dilute salt utilizing 2 µm inner diameter OT capillaries. In general, the two types of flow other than parabolic exhibit thin zones in the early part of the chromatogram, consistent with previous studies of slip-flow and electroosmotic flow used in electrochromatography. Electrochromatography is shown to yield higher efficiency and less zone broadening than parabolic and slip-flow conditions used in this study. Nonetheless, it is found that the zone standard deviations are shown to be similar for these flow profiles as is the number of plates for these different flow profiles under the conditions utilized here. It is revealed that these modifications do not warrant the effort to maintain the special solvent conditions when compared to gradient elution OT-CLC, which gives a nearly constant peak width throughout the chromatogram, is easiest to implement, and is the method of choice for complex analysis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely applied in a variety of fields. However, most of the developed MOFs are micrometer scale in crystal size and contain only micropores, which will limit the mass transport and diffusion of various analytes into their internal interaction sites, severely restricting the potential of MOFs in separation science. Herein, nanoscale hierarchically porous MOFs (NHP-MOFs) were first explored as a novel MOF-based stationary phase with excellent mass transfer performance and abundant accessible interaction sites for high-performance chromatographic separation. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, the nanoscale hierarchically micro- and mesoporous UiO-66 (NHP-UiO-66) was firmly immobilized on the capillary inner surface and utilized as the porous stationary phase for high-resolution and high-efficiency electrochromatographic separation. A wide range of low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight analytes, including substituted benzenes, chlorobenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nucleosides, polypeptides, and proteins were all separated well on a NHP-UiO-66-coated column with excellent resolution and repeatability, exhibiting significantly improved column efficiency and separation ability compared to those of a microporous UiO-66-modified column. The maximum column efficiencies for all the six kinds of analytes reached up to 1.2 × 105 plates/m, and the relative standard deviations of the migration times of substituted benzenes for intraday, interday, and column-to-column were all lower than 5.8%. These results reveal that NHP-MOFs can effectively combine the advantages of the high specific surface area of microporous MOFs and the excellent mass transfer performance and abundant accessible interaction sites of NHP materials, possessing great prospect for high-performance chromatographic separation.

Abstract
A graphene oxide-molybdenum disulfide (GO-MoS2) composite was synthesized and utilized as the highly efficient stationary phase of open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC). The characterization results indicated that GO-MoS2 composite was successfully synthesized. The GO-MoS2-coated capillary column was prepared by covalent immobilization method for the determination of seven sulfonamides. The baseline separation of seven sulfonamides was achieved by GO-MoS2-coated capillary column. The linear range was 0.05-100 μg/mL for sulfisomidine, sulfathiazole, sulfamerazine, phthalylsulfathiazole and sulfacetamide, 0.1-100 μg/mL for sulfamonomethoxine and sulfachloropyridazine with a satisfactory correlation coefficients (R2) > 0.9994. This developed OT-CEC method was successfully applied to determinate of seven sulfonamides in environmental water and milk samples with good recoveries of 85.77% - 109.10% and 80.03% - 109.97%, respectively. These results indicated that GO-MoS2-coated capillary column possessed good stability and repeatability.

Abstract
This article describes a possible combination of two promising fields of analytical chemistry-the preparation of sol-gel matrices with varying additives and their application in capillary electrochromatography. The inner surfaces of capillaries were coated with the sol-gel solution containing either pure synthetic chemical additive-alliin or capsaicin-or an extract of their natural sources-garlic and chilli pepper, respectively. The modified capillaries were tested for interaction with two neurotransmitters, oligopeptides and nucleotides under conditions of open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. Because both of the natural extracts also contain vitamin C and saccharose, the capillaries with sol-gel modifiers containing each of these substances were also tested. The obtained results from the perspective of changes in the electrochromatograms and the effective mobilities of analytes are discussed with respect to mild conditions both in the preparation process of the sol-gel matrix and during the separations.

Abstract
In this work, a class of novel and eco-friendly open-tubular (OT) chiral column was presented for the first time by one step preparation with zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and bovine serum album (BSA) based on electrostatic adsorption and adsorption affinity. This stationary phase materials combined the features of large surface areas and adsorption affinity of ZIF-8, and also the multiple chiral binding sites of BSA, which contributes to the π-interaction and hydrophobic interaction with the analytes. The separation performance of BSA@ZIF-8-OT chiral columns was evaluated with a miniaturized capillary electrochromatography and amperometric detection (mini-CEC-AD) system; in particular, nine groups of model molecules, including homologues, structural isomers, and chiral compounds, were baseline separated under the certain optimum conditions. The RSDs of run-to-run, day-to-day, column-to-column, and batch-to-batch reproducibility were less than 13.8 %. Furthermore, the prepared OT columns were successfully applied to fast analysis of ephedrine isomers in Chinese herb ephedra, and the LODs achieved 1.5-2.0 ng mL-1 (S/N=3) by an electrophoretic stacking technique of moving chemical reaction boundary. This mini-CEC-AD system with BSA@ZIF-8-OT chiral columns provides a promising potential in pharmaceutical analysis due to its fast, sensitive, enantioselective, and low-cost characteristics.
