Abstract
Even at low concentrations in environmental waters, some viruses are highly infective, making them a threat to human health. They are the leading cause of waterborne enteric diseases. In agriculture, plant viruses in irrigation and runoff water threat the crops. The low concentrations pose a challenge to early contamination detection. Thus, concentrating the virus particles into a small volume may be mandatory to achieve reliable detection in molecular techniques. This paper reviews the organic monoliths developments and their applications to concentrate virus particles from waters (waste, surface, tap, sea, and irrigation waters). Free-radical polymerization and polyaddition reactions are the most common strategies to prepare the monoliths currently used for virus concentration. Here, the routes for preparing and functionalizing both methacrylate and epoxy-based monoliths will be shortly described, following a revision of their retention mechanisms and applications in the concentration of enteric and plant viruses in several kinds of waters.

Abstract
This paper describes the fabrication of a novel microbore monolithic column modified with magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared in a poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (EFTE) tubing, and its application as stationary phase for the chromatographic separation of phosphorylated compounds. In order to obtain the composite column, a two-step procedure was performed. The formation of a glycidyl methacrylate-based monolith inside the activated ETFE tube was firstly carried out. Then, two incorporation approaches of MNPs in monoliths were investigated. The generic polymer was modified with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) to be subsequently attached to MNP surfaces. Alternatively, APTMS-coated MNPs were firstly prepared and subsequently used for attachment onto the monolith surface through reaction of epoxy groups present in the generic monolith. This last strategy gave a reproducible layer of MNPs coated onto the polymer monolith as well as robust and permeable chromatographic columns. The retention behaviour of this MNP-based composite monolithic column was studied by using small phosphorylated compounds (adenosine phosphates). It was found that the retention of model analytes was ruled by partitioning and adsorption HILIC mechanisms. The columns also exhibited satisfactory performance in the separation of these target compounds, showing good chromatographic behaviour after two months of continued use. These composite monolithic columns were also successfully applied to the extraction of a tryptic digest of β-casein.

Magnetic hydrophobic solids prepared from Pickering emulsions for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from chamomile tea. Talanta 2021; 224:121915.

Abstract
Two types of magnetic hydrophobic solids were prepared by Pickering emulsion photopolymerization using polystyrene-modified magnetic nanoparticles (PS-MNPs) as emulsion stabilizers. Additionally, PS-MNPs provided magnetic character to the final solids. W/O Pickering emulsions were produced with high amounts of oily phase (above 50 wt%), while O/W Pickering emulsions were formed with higher amounts of aqueous phase (above 60 wt%). These two types of emulsions led to two kind of solids with very different structures despite being formed by the same components. In this way, W/O Pickering emulsions produced monolithic solids, while O/W Pickering emulsions formed magnetic microparticles. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were also added to the emulsions to provide higher hydrophobic character to the final solids. The structure and morphology of both magnetic solids containing the MWCNTs was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, their extraction efficiency was evaluated using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as target analytes, both qualitatively (visually by the fluorescence emitted before and after the extraction) and quantitatively (using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry). Therefore, the LODs ranged from 1 to 4 μg L-1 and the LOQs were between 3 and 12 μg L-1. The reproducibility of the extraction procedure with different batches of emulsions was acceptable with RSD values <13%. Finally, a recovery study was carried out in complex matrices such as chamomile tea, obtaining excellent recovery values which ranged from 99 to 108%.

Abstract
Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-co-(ethylene dimethacrylate) [poly(GMA-co-EDMA)] monoliths were prepared, and used as a support to attach gold nanoparticles (AuNP) via Au-S bond. Pepsin, acting as a chiral selector, was linked to the surface of the carboxyl-modified AuNP through a hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling reaction. The material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The pepsin@AuNP@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith showed preferable enantioselectivity for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), chloroquine (CHQ), hydroxyzine (HXY), labetalol (LAB), nefopam (NEF), clenbuterol (CLE), amlodipine (AML) and chlorpheniramine (CHL) in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). These racemic drugs were monitored at the maximum absorption wavelength (220 nm for HXQ, CHQ, HXY, LAB, NEF; 240 nm for AML; 215 nm for CLE, CHL). In comparison with the pepsin@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith loaded with 5 nm AuNP, the pepsin@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith loaded with 13 nm AuNP shows significantly enhanced enantiomeric resolution (HCQ: 0.62 → 3.45; CHQ: 0.60 → 2.11; HXY: 0.49 → 2.30; LAB: 1.03 → 2.45, 1.45 → 3.46, 0 → 0.67; NEF: 0.53 → 1.29; CLE: 0.42 → 0.56; AML: 0 → 0.83; CHL: 0.24 → 0.55). Pepsin concentration, buffer pH value, buffer concentration and applied voltage were investigated in detail with (±) HCQ and (±) HXY as model analytes. The reproducibility of intra-day, inter-day and column-to-column were explored, and found to be satisfactory.

Abstract
Background:
In recent times many new uses have been found for nanomaterials that have
undergone homogenous immobilization within porous supports. For this paper, immobilization of
SNPs on a thiol-functionalized silica monolith using a fast, easy, environmentally friendly and costeffective
process was performed. This was achieved by modifying the surface of a silica-based
monolith using thiol groups, and then we fabricated green SNPs in situ, reducing an inorganic precursor
silver nitrate solution (AgNO3) by employing tangerine peel extract as a reducing reagent,
with Ag-thiol bonds forming along the monument. Doing this allows monoliths to be prepared in
such a way that, as TEM analysis demonstrated, SNPs are evenly distributed along the rod's length.
Once the materials had been fabricated, they were employed as a sorbent by being placed in a centrifuge.
The SNP-thiol functionalized silica monolith was then tested using a standard protein (HSA).
Methods:
The process involves creating monolithic materials by employing a two-part sol-gel technique
before modifying the surface of the silica-based monolith using thiol groups for hosting purposes.
Homogenous surface coverage was achieved through the use of a non-toxic "green" reducing
reagent (tangerine peel extract) to reduce a silver nitrate solution in place to create SNPs joined to the
pore surface of a thiol-functionalized silica monolith, employing bonds of Ag-thiol. Once these materials
were synthesized, they were classified by utilizing a number of methods based on SEM coupled
with EDAX, TEM, AFM and BET analysis. The silica-based monolith, embedded with constructed
SNPs, was employed as a sorbent in the preconcentration of human serum albumin (HSA).
Results:
The performance of the fabricated materials was measured against a silica-based monolith
with no SNPs. Also, a silica monolith with constructed SNPs embedded was employed to capture
HSA within a sample of human urine mixed with a double detergent concentrate (SDS). Such a
monolith containing functionalized SNPs can be a highly effective sorbent for preconcentration of
proteins in complex samples.
Conclusion:
It was shown to have superior performance compared to a bare silica-based monolith.
Additionally, it was shown that a monolithic column modified by SNPs could preconcentrate spiked
HSA in urine samples.

Abstract
The preparation of an organic polymer monolithic column modified with an amino acid ionic liquid and graphene oxide (AAIL-GO) and its application to capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was described. The AAIL tetramethylammonium-L-arginine was bonded to a monolithic column that was previously modified with graphene oxide by using an hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling reaction. The morphology of a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The incorporation of AAIL and graphene oxide was detected by infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The resulting monolithic column produced a strong and stable electroosmotic flow from the anode to the cathode in the pH range from 3 to 9. Compared with a column modified with AAIL or graphene oxide only, the AAIL-GO-modified column has a better separation ability for amino acids, β-blockers, and nucleotides (the resolution of three amino acids: 2.231 and 2.036, β-blockers: 2.779 and 2.470 and nucleotides: 8.345 and 3.321). Molecular modeling was applied to demonstrate the separation mechanism of small molecules which showed a good support for experimental results. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) systems with an amino acid ionic liquid-graphene oxide modified organic polymer monolithic column as stationary phases for separation of amino acids, β-blockers, and nucleotides.

Abstract
In this article we survey 256 references (with an emphasis on the papers published in the past decade) on monolithic columns for intact protein separation. Protein enrichment and purification are included in the broadly defined separation. After a brief introduction, we describe the types of monolithic columns and modes of chromatographic separations employed for protein separations. While the majority of the work is still in the research and development phase, papers have been published toward utilizing monolithic columns for practical applications. We survey these papers as well in this review. Characteristics of selected methods along with their pros and cons will also be discussed.

J Sep Sci 2018; 41:1923-1929. [PMID: 29368444 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.201701369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2017] [Revised: 01/09/2018] [Accepted: 01/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
An ionic-liquid-based polymer monolithic column was synthesized by free radical polymerization within the confines of a stainless-steel column (50 mm × 4.6 mm id). In the processes, ionic liquid and stearyl methacrylate were used as dual monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linking agent, and polyethylene glycol 200 and isopropanol as co-porogens. Effects of the prepolymerization solution components on the properties of the resulting monoliths were studied in detail. Scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to investigate the morphology and pore size distribution of the prepared monoliths, which showed that the homemade ionic-liquid-based monolith column possessed a relatively uniform macropore structure with a total macropore specific surface area of 44.72 m2 /g. Compared to a non-ionic-liquid-based monolith prepared under the same conditions, the ionic-liquid-based monolith exhibited excellent selectivity and high performance for separating proteins from complex biosamples, such as egg white, snailase, bovine serum albumin digest solution, human plasma, etc., indicating promising applications in the fractionation and analysis of proteins from the complex biosamples in proteomics research.

Abstract
This review provides a broad look on the recent investigations on the synthesis, characterization and physico-chemical properties of noble metal nanoparticles, mainly gold and silver nanoparticles, stabilized with ligands of different chemical nature. A comprehensive review of the available literature in this field may be far too large and only some selected representative examples will be reported here, together with some recent achievements from our group, that will be discussed in more detail. Many efforts in finding synthetic routes have been performed so far to achieve metal nanoparticles with well-defined size, morphology and stability in different environments, to match the large variety of applications that can be foreseen for these materials. In particular, the synthesis and stabilization of gold and silver nanoparticles together with their properties in different emerging fields of nanomedicine, optics and sensors are reviewed and briefly commented.

Abstract
A double-functionalized polymer monolithic column was fabricated within the confines of a stainless-steel column (50 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.) via a facile method using iron porphyrin, ionic liquid (1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) and 1,10-decanediol dimethacrylate as tri-monomers; ethylene dimethacrylate as a crosslinker; polyethylene glycol 400 and N,N-dimethylformamide as co-porogens; benzoyl peroxide and N,N-dimethyl aniline as the redox initiation system. Results obtained from scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and mercury intrusion porosimetry confirmed the uniform pore structure and the pore size distribution of macro-pores. The home-made monolith was further characterized by elemental analysis to investigate the elemental composition of Fe supplied by iron porphyrin, confirming the synthetic process. The resulting optimized monolithic column was used as the stationary phase in high performance liquid chromatography for separating proteins, such as mixture of standard proteins, egg white, and human plasma, exhibiting good selectivity and high performance. It is worth noting that the home-made double-functionalized polymer monolithic column shows excellent selectivity for fractionation separation of human plasma proteins, and it is a promising separation tool for complex bio-samples in proteomic research.

Abstract
This review summarizes the development of methacrylate-based polymer monoliths for separation science applications. An introduction to monoliths is presented, followed by the preparation methods and characteristics specific to methacrylate monoliths. Both traditional chemical based syntheses and emerging additive manufacturing methods are presented along with an analysis of the different types of functional groups, which have been utilized with methacrylate monoliths. The role of methacrylate based porous materials in separation science in industrially important chemical and biological separations are discussed, with particular attention given to the most recent developments and challenges associated with these materials. While these monoliths have been shown to be useful for a wide variety of applications, there is still scope for exerting better control over the porous architectures and chemistries obtained from the different fabrication routes. Conclusions regarding this previous work are drawn and an outlook towards future challenges and potential developments in this vibrant research area are presented. Discussed in particular are the potential of additive manufacturing for the preparation of monolithic structures with pre-defined multi-scale porous morphologies and for the optimization of surface reactive chemistries.

Abstract
Mixed-mode chromatography (MMC) is a fast growing area in recent years, thanks to the new generation of mixed-mode stationary phases and better understanding of multimode interactions. MMC has superior applications in the separation of compounds that are not retained or not well resolved by typical reversed-phase LC methods, especially for polar and charged molecules. Due to the multiple retention modes that a single MMC column can offer, often MMC provides additional dimension to a separation method by adjusting the mobile phase conditions. Mixed-mode media is also an effective way to clean up complex sample matrices for purification purposes or for sensitive detection of trace amounts of analytes. In this article, we discuss mixed-mode stationary phases and separation mechanisms and review recent advances in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications including the analysis and/or purification of counterions, small molecule drugs, impurities, formulation excipients, peptides and proteins.

Abstract
The surface of nanoporous gold (np-Au) monoliths was modified via a flow method with the lectin Concanavalin A (Con A) to develop a substrate for separation and extraction of glycoproteins. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of α-lipoic acid (LA) on the np-Au monoliths were prepared followed by activation of the terminal carboxyl groups to create amine reactive esters that were utilized in the immobilization of Con A. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the surface coverages of LA and Con A on np-Au monoliths which were found to be 1.31×10(18) and 1.85×10(15)moleculesm(-2), respectively. An in situ solution depletion method was developed that enabled surface coverage characterization without damaging the substrate and suggesting the possibility of regeneration. Using this method, the surface coverages of LA and Con A were found to be 0.989×10(18) and 1.32×10(15)moleculesm(-2), respectively. The selectivity of the Con A-modified np-Au monolith for the high mannose-containing glycoprotein ovalbumin (OVA) versus negative control non-glycosylated bovine serum albumin (BSA) was demonstrated by the difference in the ratio of the captured molecules to the immobilized Con A molecules, with OVA:Con A=2.3 and BSA:Con A=0.33. Extraction of OVA from a 1:3 mole ratio mixture with BSA was demonstrated by the greater amount of depletion of OVA concentration during the circulation with the developed substrate. A significant amount of captured OVA was eluted using α-methyl mannopyranoside as a competitive ligand. This work is motivated by the need to develop new materials for chromatographic separation and extraction substrates for use in preparative and analytical procedures in glycomics.
