Abstract
A second-dimension temperature programming system (2DTPS) for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) is introduced, and its performance is characterized. In the system, a commercial stainless-steel capillary column was used for the separation, as a heating element, and as a temperature sensor. The second dimension (2D) column was resistively heated and controlled using an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller. Temperature measurement was accomplished by measuring the overall 2D column's electrical resistance. A diesel sample was used to compare the 2D peak capacity (2nc) and resolution (2Rs), while a perfume sample was used to compare the reproducibility of the system for within-day (n = 5) and day-to-day (n = 5) results. The 2nc improved by 52% with the 2DTPS compared to the secondary oven. The GC × GC system utilizing the 2DTPS had an average within-day and day-to-day relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.02 and 0.12% for the 1D retention time (1tR), 0.56 and 0.58% for the 2D retention time (2tR), and 1.18 and 1.53% for the peak area, respectively.

Abstract
Cryogenic methods - those that employ cryogenic fluids/gases but also other approaches to generate reduced temperature - are versatile, functional and relatively easily implemented as part of a total gas chromatographic method. The general utility of a cold region is almost invariably as a trapping or focussing step, to collect analyte into a sharp zone. The success in effectively trapping analyte depends on analyte volatility and the temperature of the cold region. Analytes collection into a sorbent phase supported by cryotrapping usually provide a greater capacity trapping for the sorption step. Stripping analyte from a sample into a cryogenic trap, with subsequent introduction to GC as in a purge-and-trap method, sample introduction into an injector with incorporation of a cooling zone, manipulation and management of chromatographic bands during chromatography elution such as employed in multidimensional gas chromatography, and focussing analyte just prior to the detector, all have the same goal of concentrating the band, reducing its dispersion, and maximising response. This review summarises various approaches that demonstrate how cryogenic methods have been incorporated into gas chromatographic analysis.

Abstract
To prove drug-related crimes, it is important to estimate the date on which a specific drug was ingested. Previously, we developed a method, "micro-segmental hair analysis," to estimate the day of ingestion of a single-dose drug by segmenting a hair strand into 0.4-mm segments, which correspond to daily hair growth. In this study, the method was improved to estimate the days of continuous drug ingestion. The subjects ingested four hay-fever medicines (fexofenadine, epinastine, cetirizine, and loratadine) continuously (1-18 days) and chlorpheniramine as a single dose at intervals of several weeks as an internal temporal marker (ITM). The hair strands of the subjects were collected and subjected to a micro-segmental analysis. The distribution curves of each hay-fever medicine in a hair strand had broad peaks reflecting the number of days of drug ingestion. The positions on the curves corresponding to the first and final ingestion days of hay-fever medicines were identified using the ITM. The positions were near the hair segments on both ends of full width at half maximum (W2 ) of the broad peak. When the first and final days of continuous ingestion were estimated using W2 , independent of peak shape, the absolute average error from the actual ingestion days was approximately 2 days. Overall, we established a method to estimate the days of both single-dose and continuous drug ingestions. Furthermore, the method would be useful to investigate drug ingestion history in various scenes such as drug-related crimes and therapeutic drug monitoring.

J Chromatogr A 2017; 1536:16-26.

Abstract
The relationship between the phase ratio, β, of the primary (1D) and secondary (2D) separation dimensions of comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography (GC×GC) separations, and the implications of β on realization of maximal 2D peak capacity, nc,2D, are examined. A GC×GC chromatographic system with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, TOFMS, was otherwise held constant for the separation of a multi-component test mixture spanning a range of chemical functionalities, while only the β of the two analytical columns were changed, 1β for 1D and 2β for 2D. Six column sets were studied using common, commercially available β values. The β ratio, βR=1β/2β, is defined as a quantitative metric to facilitate this study. It is demonstrated that βR plays a key role in maximizing nc,2D. Overall, βR substantially affected nc,2D by influencing retention factors on the 2D column, 2k, and thereby changing the modulation period, PM, necessary for proper 2D column separations. The necessary changes to PM modify the modulation ratio, MR, which affects the 1D column peak widths and 1nc due to the impact of undersampling. Through changes to 1β, the range of 2k can be controlled, with subsequent effects to both 2nc and 1nc. These effects were opposite in direction, such that improvements to 2nc may result in declines in 1nc. It is observed that due to the pseudo-isothermal nature of the 2D separation, there are diminishing returns to extending the 2nc at the cost of 1nc. In this particular study, column set 3 (1D: 20m length, 250μm i.d., 0.25μm film; 2D: 2m, 180μm i.d., 0.2μm film; βR=1.11) with a PM of 3s provided the highest theoretical nc,2D of ∼8200, though this was at a relatively low MR of ∼1.8. Column set 2 (1D: 20m length, 250μm i.d., 0.5μm film; 2D: 2m, 180μm i.d., 0.2μm film; βR=0.56) with a PM of 1.5s provided a high theoretical nc,2D of ∼5800, at a much higher MR of ∼3.7. Though column set 2 had a lesser total peak capacity than column set 3, its higher MR suggests that by improving the 1D column efficiency (i.e., narrowing the 1D column peak widths) to improve 1nc, can result in an increased theoretical nc,2D.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) separations are able to generate significantly higher peak capacities than their one-dimensional counterparts. Unfortunately, current hyphenated 2D separations are limited by the speed of the second dimension separation and the consequent loss of peak capacity due to under sampling of peaks as they elute from the first dimension separation. Continuous micro free flow electrophoresis (μFFE) separations eliminate under sampling as a limitation when incorporated as the second dimension of a 2D separation. In the current manuscript we describe the first coupling of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with μFFE to perform 2D CE × μFFE separations. The CE separation capillary was directly inserted into the μFFE separation channel using an edge on interface. Analyte peaks streamed directly into the μFFE separation channel as they migrated off the CE capillary. No complicated injection, valving, or voltage changes were necessary to couple the two separation modes. 2D CE × μFFE generated an ideal peak capacity of 2 592 in a 9 min separation of fluorescently labeled peptides (7.6 min separation window, 342 peaks/min). Data points were recorded every 250-500 ms (>8 data points/peak), effectively eliminating under sampling as a source of band broadening. CE × μFFE generated an ideal peak capacity of 1885 in a 2.7 min separation of fluorescently labeled small molecule bioamines (1.8 min separation window, 1053 peaks/min). Peaks in the 2D CE × μFFE separation of peptides covered 30% of the available separation space, resulting in a corrected peak capacity of 778 (102 peaks/min). The fractional coverage of the 2D CE × μFFE separation of small molecule bioamines was 20%, resulting in a corrected peak capacity of 377 (209 peaks/min).

Abstract
We developed a fully automated portable 2-dimensional (2-D) gas chromatography (GC x GC) device, which had a dimension of 60 cm × 50 cm × 10 cm and weight less than 5 kg. The device incorporated a micropreconcentrator/injector, commercial columns, micro-Deans switches, microthermal injectors, microphotoionization detectors, data acquisition cards, and power supplies, as well as computer control and user interface. It employed multiple channels (4 channels) in the second dimension (2D) to increase the 2D separation time (up to 32 s) and hence 2D peak capacity. In addition, a nondestructive flow-through vapor detector was installed at the end of the 1D column to monitor the eluent from 1D and assist in reconstructing 1D elution peaks. With the information obtained jointly from the 1D and 2D detectors, 1D elution peaks could be reconstructed with significantly improved 1D resolution. In this Article, we first discuss the details of the system operating principle and the algorithm to reconstruct 1D elution peaks, followed by the description and characterization of each component. Finally, 2-D separation of 50 analytes, including alkane (C6-C12), alkene, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, cycloalkane, and aromatic hydrocarbon, in 14 min is demonstrated, showing the peak capacity of 430-530 and the peak capacity production of 40-80/min.

Abstract
The investigation of naturally volatile and derivatized metabolites in biological tissues by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) can provide highly complex and information-rich data for comprehensive metabolomics analysis. The addition of the second separation dimension with GC × GC provides additional chemical selectivity, and the fast scanning time of TOFMS offers benefits in chemical selectivity and overall peak capacity compared to traditional one-dimensional (1D) GC. Furthermore, methods of derivatization to facilitate volatility and thermal stability, the most prominent being the silylation of organic compounds, have extended the use of GC as an important metabolomics tool. The highly information-rich data from GC × GC-TOFMS benefits from sophisticated comprehensive targeted and nontargeted algorithmic software methods. Herein, we detail a robust derivatization and instrumental method for metabolomics analysis and provide a brief overview of possible methods for data analysis.
