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
Polymer modified silica materials are widely used as stationary phases in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), whereas a stationary phase with excellent performance is highly desired. In this study, vinyl modified silica was first synthesized through a silane coupling reaction, and then a polyacrylamide modified silica (PAM-SIL) stationary phase was successfully prepared using acrylamide as a copolymer monomer via free radical polymerization. The retention behaviors of polar analytes on the stationary phase under various chromatographic conditions, including acetonitrile content, buffer concentration and pH values were investigated, and a typical hydrophilic interaction retention mechanism was inferred. Exceptionally, the separation performance of the stationary phases could be regulated by controlling the polymer structure. Model analytes separated rapidly on the stationary phase which has an optimal grafting amount of vinyl, with the highest number of theoretical plates of orotic acid reaching 119,966/m. While the stationary phases with high acrylamide concentrations exhibited enhanced retention behavior and higher resolution for analytes. The adjustable separation performance will have huge potential in future separation and analysis applications.

In-Capillary Photodeposition of Glyphosate-Containing Polyacrylamide Nanometer-Thick Films. ACS APPLIED POLYMER MATERIALS 2023; 5:223-235. [PMID: 36660253 PMCID: PMC9841503 DOI: 10.1021/acsapm.2c01461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The present research reports on in-water, site-specific photodeposition of glyphosate (GLP)-containing polyacrylamide (PAA-GLP) nanometer-thick films (nanofilms) on an inner surface of fused silica (fused quartz) microcapillaries presilanized with trimethoxy(octen-7-yl)silane (TMOS). TMOS was chosen because of the vinyl group presence in its structure, enabling its participation in the (UV light)-activated free-radical polymerization (UV-FRP) after its immobilization on a fused silica surface. The photodeposition was conducted in an aqueous (H2O/ACN; 3:1, v/v) solution, using UV-FRP (λ = 365 nm) of the acrylamide (AA) functional monomer, the N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) (BAA) cross-linking monomer, GLP, and the azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) UV-FRP initiator. Acetonitrile (ACN) was used as the porogen and the solvent to dissolve monomers and GLP. Because of the micrometric diameters of microcapillaries, the silanization and photodeposition procedures were first optimized on fused silica slides. The introduction of TMOS, as well as the formation of PAA and PAA-GLP nanofilms, was determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) spectroscopy, and confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy. Particularly, AFM and SEM-EDX measurements determined nanofilms' thickness and GLP content, respectively, whereas in-depth confocal (micro-Raman spectroscopy)-assisted imaging of PAA- and PAA-GLP-coated microcapillary inner surfaces confirmed the successful photodeposition. Moreover, we examined the GLP impact on polymer gelation by monitoring hydration in a hydrogel and a dried powder PAA-GLP. Our study demonstrated the usefulness of the in-capillary micro-Raman spectroscopy imaging and in-depth profiling of GLP-encapsulated PAA nanofilms. In the future, our simple and inexpensive procedure will enable the fabrication of polymer-based microfluidic chemosensors or adsorptive-separating devices for GLP detection, determination, and degradation.

Abstract
Electroosmotic flow (EOF) plays a pivotal role in optimization of capillary electrophoresis (CE) separations of (bio)molecules and (bio)particles. EOF velocity is directly related to analysis time, peak resolution and separation efficiency. Here, we report a concept of charged polymer coatings of the inner fused silica capillary wall, which allows anodic EOF with mobility ranging from 0 to ∼(30-40) × 10-9 m2V-1s-1. The capillary wall is modified by covalently bound cationic copolymer poly(acrylamide-co-(3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride) (PAMAPTAC) containing variable ratio of the charged monomer in the 0-60 mol. % interval. The EOF mobility showed minor variability with composition of background electrolyte (BGE) and pH in the 2-10 interval. The coatings were evaluated by CE-UV and nanospray CE-MS in the counter-EOF arrangement for a series of basic drug molecules in acetic acid based acidic BGE. Tunable EOF velocity was demonstrated as a useful tool for optimization of peak resolution, separation efficiency and migration time of analytes. Electrostatic repulsion of positively charged capillary surface was shown as beneficial for suppression of analyte adsorption, notably for hydrophobic cationic analytes.

Abstract
A novel amide functionalized polar stationary phase has been described by grafting acrylamide polymer coating onto hydrolysed poly (glycidyl methacrylate-divinylbenzene) (GMA-DVB) microsphere. The grafting of acrylamide coating is performed via free radical polymerization of acrylamide with pendant double bonds of hydrolysed GMA-DVB microsphere. The obtained stationary phase (G-pAM) possesses favorable hydrophilicity, as proved by strong retention and good separation ability towards several types of model polar analytes (e.g. 71913 plates/m plate count of sucrose), and excellent hydrolytically stability, as indicated by extremely low bleed level (much superior to commercial ones, ~23.7-fold-~77.4-fold lower). Negligible baseline drift under gradient elution (water fraction even up to 50%) was observed. It also exhibits good selectivity in the separation of isomers and homologue sugars.

Performance of functionalized monolithic silica capillary columns with different mesopore sizes using radical polymerization of octadecyl methacrylate. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1651:462282.

Abstract
We report on the possibility to enhance the phase ratio and retention factor in silica monoliths. According to pioneering work done by Núñez et al. [1], this enhancement is pursued by applying a stationary phase layer via radical polymerization with octadecyl methacrylate (ODM) as an alternative to the customary octadecylsilylation (C18-derivatization). The difference in band broadening, retention factor and separation selectivity between both approaches was compared. Different hydrothermal treatment temperatures for the column preparation were applied to produce monolithic silica structures with three different mesopore sizes (resp. 10, 13, and 16 nm, as determined by argon physisorption) while maintaining similar domain size (sum of through-pore and skeleton size). It has been found that the columns with the poly(octadecyl methacrylate)-phase (ODM columns) provided a 60 to 80% higher retention factor in methanol-water mixture compared to the octadecylsilylated (ODS) columns produced by starting from similar silica backbone structures. In acetonitrile-water mixture, the enhancement is smaller (15 to 30% times higher), yet significant. By adjusting the fabrication conditions (for both the preparation of the monolithic backbones and the surface functionalization), the achieved retention factors (up k = 4.89 for pentylbenzene in 80:20% (v/v) methanol/water) are obviously higher than obtained in the pioneering study on ODM monoliths of Núñez et al. [1], and column clogging could be completely avoided. In addition, also separation efficiencies were significantly higher than shown in Ref. [1], with plate heights as low as 5.8 μm. These plate heights are however inferior to those observed on the ODS-modified sister columns. The difference can be explained by the slower intra-skeleton diffusion displayed by the ODM-modified columns, in turn caused by the larger obstruction to diffusion originating from the thicker stationary phase layer.

Abstract
Monolithic silica and polymer capillary columns with ultrahigh column efficiencies were prepared. Permeability and electrochromatography performances of these two kinds of columns were compared. Monolithic silica columns bear higher permeability than polymer counterparts by two orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the van Deemter plots of alkylbenzenes on these two kinds of columns demonstrate that monolithic silica columns produce much lower plate heights of alkylbenzes than polymer columns do. Within the range of electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity investigated, no uptrend of plate height with the increase of EOF was observed suggesting the great capacity of fast separation and high efficiency. The plate height of thiourea on monolithic silica columns is as low as 2.67 μm, representing its corresponding column efficiency is over 430,000 plates/m. As far as we know, it is the highest ever column efficiency reported in the literature. Moreover, the separation of butylbenzene isomers was obtained on the monolithic silica column.

Abstract
Asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginines are toxic non-coded amino acids. They are formed by post-translational modifications and play multifunctional roles in some human diseases. Their determination in human blood plasma is performed using capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection. The separations are performed in a capillary covered with covalently bonded PAMAPTAC polymer, which generates anionic electroosmotic flow and the separation takes place in the counter-current regime. The background electrolyte is a 750 mM aqueous solution of acetic acid with pH 2.45. The plasma samples for analysis are treated by the addition of acetonitrile and injected into the capillary in a large volume, reaching 94.5% of the total volume of the capillary, and subsequently subjected to electrophoretic stacking. The attained LODs are 16 nm for ADMA and 22 nM for SDMA. The electrophoretic resolution of both isomers has a value of 5.3. The developed method is sufficiently sensitive for the determination of plasmatic levels of ADMA and SDMA. The determination does not require derivatization and the individual steps in the electrophoretic stacking are fully automated. The determined plasmatic levels for healthy individuals vary in the range 0.36-0.62 µM for ADMA and 0.32-0.70 µM for SDMA.

Abstract
Electrophoretic stacking is developed for sensitive determination of three zwitterionic antiepileptics, namely vigabatrin, pregabalin and gabapentin, in human serum. CE separation is performed in a 25 μm fused silica capillary covalently coated with the copolymer of acrylamide with 5% content of permanently charged 3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride (PAMAPTAC). In background electrolyte of 500 mM acetic acid, the 5% PAMAPTAC generates an anodic electro-osmotic flow with a magnitude of (-18.6 ± 0.5) · 10-9 m2V-1s-1, which acts against the direction of the electrophoretic migration of the analytes. A sample of the antiepileptic prepared in a 25% v/v infusion solution and 75% v/v acetonitrile is injected into the capillary in a large volume attaining a zone length of up to 270 mm. After turning on the separation voltage, the antiepileptics are isotachophoretically focussed behind the zone of Na+ ions with a sensitivity enhancement factor of 78. For the clinical determination of antiepileptics, the human serum is diluted with acetonitrile in a ratio of 1:3 v/v and a zone with a length of 90 mm is injected into the capillary. The method is linear in the 0.025-2.5 μg/mL concentration range; the attained limit of quantification is in the range 18.3-22.8 nmol/L; the within-day precision for the migration time is 0.8-1.2% and for the peak area 1.5-2.4%.

Separation of anaesthetic ketamine and its derivates in PAMAPTAC coated capillaries with tuneable counter-current electroosmotic flow. Talanta 2020; 217:121094. [PMID: 32498904 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Capillary electrophoretic separation of ketamine, norketamine, hydroxynorketamine, and dehydronorketamine was performed in the counter-current regime under the influence of oppositely-directed electroosmotic flow. For this purpose, the fused silica capillaries were covalently coated with the poly(acrylamide-co-3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride) copolymer (PAMAPTAC). The content of the cationic monomer APTAC in the polymerization mixture varied in the range 0-6 mol. % and the generated electroosmotic flow increased continuously in the 0-20 · 10-9 m2V-1s-1 interval. Importantly, it resulted in improved electrophoretic resolution of ketamine/norketamine, which increased from 0.8 for neutral PAM coating (i.e. 0% PAMAPTAC) to 3.0 for 6% PAMAPTAC. The determination of ketamine and its derivates in rat serum was performed in a 4% PAMAPTAC capillary with an inner diameter of 25 μm. The separation was performed in a 500 mM aqueous solution of acetic acid (pH 2.3). The clinical sample was deproteinized by the addition of acetonitrile to the serum and a large volume of the treated sample was injected directly into the capillary. The achieved limit of detection ranged from 2.2 ng/mL for dehydronorketamine to 4.1 ng/mL for hydroxynorketamine; the intra-day repeatability was 1.0-1.5% for the migration time and 2.8-3.3% for the peak area. The developed methodology was employed for time monitoring of ketamines in rat serum after intra venous administration of low doses of anaesthetic at a level of 2 μg per g of body weight.

Abstract
Removal of Cr(VI) from the environment represents a stringent issue because of its tremendous effects on living organisms. In this context, design of sorbents with high sorption capacity for Cr(VI) is getting a strong need. For this purpose, poly(vinylbenzyl chloride), impregnated into porous silica (PSi), was cross-linked with either N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,2-ethylenediamine (TEMED) or N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine, followed by the reaction of the free -CH2Cl groups with N,N-diethyl-2-hydroxyethylamine to generate strong base anion exchangers (ANEX) inside the pores. The PSi/ANEX composite sorbents were deeply characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, SEM-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and water uptake. The sorption performances of composites against Cr(VI) were investigated as a function of pH, contact time, initial concentration of Cr(VI), and temperature. It was found that the cross-linker structure and the silica morphology are the key factors controlling the sorption capacity. The adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic and well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Sips isotherm models. The maximum sorption capacity of 311.2 mg Cr(VI)/g sorbent was found for the composite prepared with mesoporous silica using TEMED as cross-linker. The PSi/ANEX composite sorbents represent an excellent alternative for the removal of Cr(VI) oxyanions, being endowed with fast kinetics, equilibrium in about 60 min, and a high level of reusability in successive sorption/desorption cycles.

Abstract
A polyacrylamide (PAM)-coated silica packing as a novel stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was produced firstly by thermal immobilization. The coated layer was formed by a simple and facile physical method that dipping silica spheres into a PAM solution and then stirring the mixture until the solution was evaporated absolutely, leaving a certain amount of PAM on the silica particles. Although there are no chemical bonds involved, the bleeding measurement and the background noise are acceptable. Polyacrylamide coated silica (PAM-Sil, mean diameter: 5 μm) demonstrated a good hydrophilic property and excellent separation efficiency, which was observed especially for several high polar analytes such as saccharides. It is much higher than bare silica or amino columns under the same conditions. Moreover the obtained stationary phase demonstrated good stability under our operation conditions. The specific preparing method offers an easy and economical way to manipulate the thickness of PAM coating and can be extended as a universal way to produce various polymer coated stationary phases with dipping-heating/stirring-evaporating procedure.

Abstract
CE has been a continuously evolving analytical methodology since its first introduction in the 1980s of the last century. The development of new CE separation procedures, the coupling of these systems to more sensitive and versatile detection systems, and the advances in miniaturization technology have allowed the application of CE to the resolution of new and complex analytical problems, overcoming the traditional disadvantages associated with this method. In the present work, different recent trends in CE and their application to the determination of high complexity samples (as biological fluids, individual cells, etc.) will be reviewed: capillary modification by different types of coatings, microfluidic CE, and online microextraction CE. The main advantages and disadvantages of the different proposed approaches will be discussed with examples of most recent applications.

Abstract
A hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) stationary phase was prepared by a two-step synthesis method, immobilizing polyacrylamide on silica sphere particles. The stationary phase (named PA, 5μm dia) was evaluated using a mixture of carbohydrates in HILIC mode and the column efficiency reached 121,000Nm-1. The retention behavior of carbohydrates on PA stationary phase was investigated with three different organic solvents (acetonitrile, ethanol and methanol) employed as the weak eluent. The strongest hydrophilicity of PA stationary phase was observed in both acetonitrile and methanol as the weak eluent, when compared with another two amide stationary phases. Attributing to its high hydrophilicity, three oligosaccharides (xylooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide and chitooligosaccharides) presented good retention on PA stationary phase using alcohols/water as mobile phase. Finally, PA stationary phase was successfully applied for the purification of galactooligosaccharides and saponins of Paris polyphylla. It is feasible to use safer and cheaper alcohols to replace acetonitrile as the weak eluent for green analysis and purification of polar compounds on PA stationary phase.

Abstract
A hybrid monolith exhibiting almost retention independent separation performance in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was obtained by one-pot photoinitiated thiol-methacrylate polymerization. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane containing methacrylate units (POSS-MA) was used as the main monomer and crosslinking agent, together with a hydrophilic ligand with two carboxyl groups, mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) as the thiol agent and chromatographic ligand. The isocratic separation of nucleosides, nucleotides and organic acids on MSA attached-poly(POSS-MA) monolith was investigated in HILIC mode. The van-Deemter plots for obtained for nucleosides, nucleotides and benzoic acids clearly showed that there were two regions in each graph with two different slopes in the studied range of linear flow rate (i.e. 0.2-4.3mm/s). The slope of plate height-linear velocity curve was so small in the low linear velocity region between 0.2-2.1mm/s while the slope in high linear velocity region between 2.1-4.3mm/s was so higher with respect to the first region. The van-Deemter plots sketched for all analyte grous used in HILIC mode obeyed this tendency Almost "retention independent plate height behavior" was demonstrated in HILIC, using nucleotides, nucleotides or benzoic acids as the analytes in the linear velocity range of 0.2-2.1mm/s. This behavior was explained by the porous structure of the synthesized monolith facilitating the convective transport of analytes. The variation of plate height was not retention-independent within high linear velocity range (>3.2mm/s) when nucleosides were separated in HILIC mode.

Abstract
Mixed-mode chromatographic stationary phases require functionalization with at least two functional groups to yield multiple interactions with analytes. Departing from reported methods, a mixture of two different monomers, glycidyl methacrylate and 2-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate, was grafted onto the surface of silica by a one-step surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization to prepare a novel hydrophilic interaction/anion-exchange mixed-mode chromatographic stationary phase. The grafted amounts of functional groups were controlled via varying the ratio of monomers in the polymerization system. The influences of water content, salt concentration and pH in the mobile phase were investigated to illustrate the mixed interaction between the stationary phase and analytes. The retention of various solutes on three columns, especially acidic and basic solutes, showed an obvious dependence on the ratio of the two monomers in the polymerization system. The results indicated that the strategy proposed in this work was beneficial to develop various types of mixed-mode chromatographic stationary phases with adjustable selectivity to meet the needs of complex samples. Finally, the column was successfully employed in the isolation of melamine in liquid milk.

Abstract
Monolithic silica columns have greater (through-pore size)/(skeleton size) ratios than particulate columns and fixed support structures in a column for chemical modification, resulting in high-efficiency columns and stationary phases. This review looks at how the size range of monolithic silica columns has been expanded, how high-efficiency monolithic silica columns have been realized, and how various methods of silica surface functionalization, leading to selective stationary phases, have been developed on monolithic silica supports, and provides information on the current status of these columns. Also discussed are the practical aspects of monolithic silica columns, including how their versatility can be improved by the preparation of small-sized structural features (sub-micron) and columns (1 mm ID or smaller) and by optimizing reaction conditions for in situ chemical modification with various restrictions, with an emphasis on recent research results for both topics.

Abstract
Different synthesis routes have been implemented to prepare macroporous monoliths with vinyl pendant groups and micrometric skeletons and through-pore sizes. A standard process combining the synthesis of a widely used (methyltrimethoxysilane/tetramethoxysilane) (MTMS/TMOS) hybrid silica monolith and the postsilanization with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) was used as reference material (Vgr-MTMS). An alternative "one-pot" procedure was used to obtain vinylized hybrid monoliths. Two VTMS/TMOS hybrid based monoliths were successfully prepared starting from 20% (w) and 80% (w/w) of VTMS, respectively, called 20-VTMS and 80-VTMS. Monoliths were characterized by SEM, nitrogen-adsorption isotherm, and (29)Si MAS NMR spectroscopy. One-pot synthesis allowed to obtain higher vinyl contents (15.9 and 61.5 mol % of Si atoms bonded to vinyl groups respectively for 20-VTMS and 80-VTMS) than for the postgrafted one (7.1%). Accessibility of vinyl groups was determined by the extent of bromination reactions followed by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. Bromination with reaction yields were higher than 80% for all materials (80%, 85%, and 100% for 80-VTMS, 20-VTMS, and Vgr-MTMS respectively), with no diffusion issues The chemical reactivity of the pendant vinyl groups was investigated through radical-mediated thiol-ene reaction and radical-initiated bisulfite addition. Reaction yields for the two VTMS hybrid monoliths were quite lower (4-6%) than those obtained (about 50%) for the Vgr-MTMS monolith. The difference in reactivity was attributed to the steric hindrance of the vinyl moieties at the surface of hybrid materials. However, the lower reactivity of vinyl groups is compensated by their considerably higher surface density. Thus, hybrid monoliths are advantageous over their grafted counterparts, due to their higher hydrolytic stability and to the greater simplicity of the one-pot process. A chromatographic application exemplifies their interest and performances in separation science.

In-line coupling of an aptamer based miniaturized monolithic affinity preconcentration unit with capillary electrophoresis and Laser Induced Fluorescence detection. J Chromatogr A 2015; 1406:109-17. [PMID: 26113415 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2015.05.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2015] [Revised: 05/26/2015] [Accepted: 05/29/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
A composite 30-cm capillary was prepared. The head of the capillary was a 1.5-cm original and miniaturized aptamer-based monolithic affinity support that was in-line coupled to the end of the capillary used for capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. The device was used for the preconcentration, separation and quantification of ochratoxin A (OTA) as a test solute. The 1.5-cm preconcentration unit consists of a fritless affinity monolithic bonded with 5'-SH-modified oligonucleotide aptamers. A vinyl spacer was used for thiol-ene photoclick chemistry with a 5min irradiation at 365nm. Photografting allowed to confine the binding reaction to the desired silica monolithic segment, upstream the empty section of the CE capillary using an UV mask. The photografting procedure was optimized preparing 10-cm capillary monoliths for nano-LC. The retention factors of cationic solutes in ion-exchange nano-LC allowed to follow the aptamer binding on the monolith. The reproducibility of the photografting process was satisfactory with inter-capillary variation lower than 10%. The aptamer bonding density can be increased by successive graftings of 100μM aptamer concentration solution (5pmol/cm/grafting). The optimal conditions to successfully perform the in-line coupling (preconcentration, elution and separation of OTA) with the composite capillary were adjusted depending on individual requirements of each step but also insuring compatibility. Under optimized conditions, OTA was successfully preconcentrated and quantified down to 0.1pg (percolation of 2.65μL of a 40ng/L OTA solution). A quantitative recovery of OTA (93±2%) was achieved in a single elution of 30pg percolated OTA amount. The reproducibility of the overall process was satisfactory with a relative standard deviation lower than 10% with negligible non-specific adsorption. This device was applied for the preconcentration and analysis of OTA in beer and wine at the ppb level within a total analysis time of 30min.

Synthesis of a reactive polymethacrylate capillary monolith and its use as a starting material for the preparation of a stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2015; 1396:86-97. [PMID: 25900740 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2015.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2014] [Revised: 04/01/2015] [Accepted: 04/02/2015] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Poly(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate), poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) capillary monolith was proposed as a reactive starting material with tailoring flexibility for the preparation of monolithic stationary phases. The reactive capillary monolith was synthesized by free radical copolymerization of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA-Cl) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA). The mean pore size, the specific surface area and the permeability of poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) monoliths were controlled by adjusting porogen/monomer volume ratio, porogen composition and polymerization temperature. The porogen/monomer volume ratio was found as the most effective factor controlling the porous properties of poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) monolith. Triethanolamine (TEA-OH) functionalized polymethacrylate monoliths were prepared by using the reactive chloropropyl group of poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) monolith via one-pot and simple post-functionalization process. Poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) monolith reacted with TEA-OH was evaluated as a stationary phase in nano-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (nano-HILIC). Nucleotides, nucleosides and benzoic acid derivatives were satisfactorily separated with the plate heights up to 20μm. TEA-OH attached-poly(HPMA-Cl-co-EDMA) monolith showed a reproducible and stable retention behaviour in nano-HILIC runs. However, a decrease in the column performance (i.e. an increase in the plate height) was observed with the increasing retention factor. Hence "retention-dependent column efficiency" behaviour was shown for HILIC mode using the chromatographic data collected with the polymer based monolith synthesized.

Abstract
The capability of employing synthesized zwitterionic silica-based monolithic capillary columns (140 mm × 0.1mm) for separation of highly polar and hydrophilic nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides in hydrophilic interaction chromatography is reported. The suitability of the columns for on-line conjunction with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was explored. Our results show that the grafted layer of zwitterionic monomer ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium hydroxide or 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) on the silica monolithic surface significantly improved the separation selectivity and reproducibility, as compared to the bare silica monolith. The stepwise elution from 90% to 70% of acetonitrile enabled separation of a complex sample mixture containing 21 compounds with a total analysis time less than 40 min.
