Abstract
Method development in comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) is a challenging process. The interdependencies between the two dimensions and the possibility of incorporating complex gradient profiles, such as multi-segmented gradients or shifting gradients, make trial-and-error method development time-consuming and highly dependent on user experience. Retention modeling and Bayesian optimization (BO) have been proposed as solutions to mitigate these issues. However, both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. On the one hand, retention modeling, which approximates true retention behavior, depends on effective peak tracking and accurate retention time and width predictions, which are increasingly challenging for complex samples and advanced gradient assemblies. On the other hand, Bayesian optimization may require many experiments when dealing with many adjustable parameters, as in LC×LC. Therefore, in this work, we investigate the use of multi-task Bayesian optimization (MTBO), a method that can combine information from both retention modeling and experimental measurements. The algorithm was first tested and compared with BO using a synthetic retention modeling test case, where it was shown that MTBO finds better optima with fewer method-development iterations than conventional BO. Next, the algorithm was tested on the optimization of a method for a pesticide sample and we found that the algorithm was able to improve upon the initial scanning experiments. Multi-task Bayesian optimization is a promising technique in situations where modeling retention is challenging, and the high number of adjustable parameters and/or limited optimization budget makes traditional Bayesian optimization impractical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of analytical techniques in the field of liquid chromatography has brought new frontiers in performance and analytical speed for the technique. The proper evaluation of the analytical boundaries achieved with those developments was not addressed in the literature, since different liquid chromatography (LC) techniques have not yet received any classification regarding their chromatographic speed. Defining chromatographic analysis speed based simply on analysis time is an outdated concept since it is sample and analyte-dependent. In this context, the application of the Average Theoretical Peak Time concept (ATPT) is proposed as a unified metric for chromatographic speed classification. RESULTS This metric was evaluated using PCA analysis in a group of more than 50 publications, which generated the classification of LC methods in normal, high, hyper, and ultra-high-speed separations using ATPT. Normal speed (ATPT values greater than 18000 ms/peak) was found in HPLC, nano-LC, SFC, and CEC methods. Therefore, high-speed methods (ATPT values between 4000 and 18000 ms/peak) were found in UHPLC techniques, while LC × LC methods presented higher ATPT values between 1000 and 4000 ms/peak being classified as hyper-speed separations. ATPT can also be used as an optimization parameter, since older methods show higher ATPT values, while recent published papers show lower values of this metric. This behavior is justified due to the improvement of the LC methods over the years. SIGNIFICANCE This work fulfills the gap in chromatographic definitions and metrics, regarding analytical speed in one-dimensional and multidimensional liquid chromatographic techniques and shows that ATPT metrics is a robust parameter that can be used to classify the separation speed as well as a metric to evaluate the LC Method optimization. It also corrects the historical application of separation time as a metric for chromatographic speed.

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

Abstract
Analytical data processing often requires the comparison of data, i.e. finding similarities and differences within separations. In this context, a peak-tracking algorithm was developed to compare multiple datasets in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) chromatography. Two application strategies were investigated: i) data processing where all chromatograms are produced in one sequence and processed simultaneously, and ii) method optimization where chromatograms are produced and processed cumulatively. The first strategy was tested on data from comprehensive 2D liquid chromatography and comprehensive 2D gas chromatography separations of academic and industrial samples of varying compound classes (monoclonal-antibody digest, wine volatiles, polymer granulate headspace, and mayonnaise). Peaks were tracked in up to 29 chromatograms at once, but this could be upscaled when necessary. However, the peak-tracking algorithm performed less accurate for trace analytes, since, peaks that are difficult to detect are also difficult to track. The second strategy was tested with 1D liquid chromatography separations, that were optimized using automated method-development. The strategy for method optimization was quicker to detect peaks that were still poorly separated in earlier chromatograms compared to assigning a target chromatogram, to which all other chromatograms are compared. Rendering it a useful tool for automated method optimization.

Abstract
Automation and digitalization solutions in the field of small molecule synthesis face new challenges for chemical reaction analysis, especially in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Chromatographic data remains locked in vendors' hardware and software components, limiting their potential in automated workflows and data science applications. In this work, we present an open-source Python project called MOCCA for the analysis of HPLC-DAD (photodiode array detector) raw data. MOCCA provides a comprehensive set of data analysis features, including an automated peak deconvolution routine of known signals, even if overlapped with signals of unexpected impurities or side products. We highlight the broad applicability of MOCCA in four studies: (i) a simulation study to validate MOCCA's data analysis features; (ii) a reaction kinetics study on a Knoevenagel condensation reaction demonstrating MOCCA's peak deconvolution feature; (iii) a closed-loop optimization study for the alkylation of 2-pyridone without human control during data analysis; (iv) a well plate screening of categorical reaction parameters for a novel palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl halides employing O-protected cyanohydrins. By publishing MOCCA as a Python package with this work, we envision an open-source community project for chromatographic data analysis with the potential of further advancing its scope and capabilities.

Packed modulation loops to reduce band broadening in two-dimensional liquid chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1690:463802.

Abstract
Modulation interfaces employing sample loops are applied in many hyphenated separations such as two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC). When the first-dimension effluent in 2D-LC is eluted from the modulation loop, dispersion effects occur due to differences in the laminar flow velocity of the filling and emptying flow. These effects were recently studied by Moussa et al. whom recommended the use of coiled loops to promote radial diffusion and reduce this effect. In the 1980s, Coq et al. investigated the use of packed loops, which also promote radial diffusion, in large volume injection 1D-LC. Unfortunately, this concept was never investigated in the context of 2D-LC modulation. Our work evaluates use of packed loops in 2D-LC modulation and compares them to unpacked coiled and uncoiled modulation loops. The effect of the solvents, loop volume, differences in filling and emptying rates, and loop elution direction on the elution profile was investigated. Statistical moments were used as a pragmatic tool to quantify elution profile characteristics. Decreased dispersion was observed in all cases for the packed loops compared to unpacked loops and unpacked coiled loops. In particular for larger loop volumes the dispersion was reduced significantly. Furthermore, countercurrent elution resulted in narrower elution profiles in all cases compared to concurrent elution. We found that packed modulation loops are of high interested when analytes are not refocussed in the second-dimension separation (e.g. for size-exclusion chromatography). Moreover, our work suggests that the use of packed loops may aid in prevention of loop overfilling.

Abstract
The history of multidimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) has been dominated by methods that have been developed using highly empirical, experience-driven, trial-and-error approaches. These approaches have been sufficient in progressing the field forward scientifically, primarily in academic research laboratories. However, more widespread usage of multidimensional separations will require more systematic approaches to method development that rely less on user experience and lower the barriers to development and use of methods by a wider community of users. In this mini-review, we discuss recent research aimed at developing such systematic, model-driven approaches to streamline method development and speculate about likely advances in the same direction in the near future. It seems likely that such model-driven approaches would be particularly helpful for methods developed for analyzing biopharmaceutical molecules, which tend to be very sensitive to slight changes in method conditions (for example, mobile phase composition).
