Lawlor K, Clausen J, Johnston A, Edge A, Wolff K, Castrignanò E, Couchman L. A review of analytical parameters in 'rapid' liquid chromatographic methods for bioanalysis: Can we do better? J Chromatogr A 2024; 1721:464803. [PMID: 38547680 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Rapid bioanalysis is beneficial to many applications. However, how 'rapid' a method is, or could be, is often an unanswered question. In this statistical review, the authors have assessed multiple pre-analytical (i.e. sample preparation), and analytical method parameters specifically for liquid chromatography to assist researchers in developing and validating 'rapid' bioanalytical methods. We restricted the search to urine and plasma matrices only. Data were extracted from over 2,000 recent studies and evaluated to assess how these parameters affected the 'on-instrument' analysis time. In addition to methods using ultra-violet (UV) detection, there were a large number of mass spectrometric (MS) methods, allowing additional review of the differences between high- and low-resolution MS on analysis time. We observed that most (N = 922, 70 %) methods used 5 or 10 cm columns, and that whilst uptake of ultra-high performance (U)HPLC columns was good, the use of sub-5 cm columns and/or flow rates in excess of 1 mL/min was incredibly rare (N = 25, 3 %). The detector of choice for quantitative (U)HPLC-MS remains the triple quadrupole, although a number of groups report the use of high-resolution MS for such methods.

Abstract
The design aspects of microfluidic chips for spatial three-dimensional chromatography featuring an interconnected channel network and targeting protein analysis are discussed, and the corresponding kinetic performance limits have been established using a Pareto-optimality approach. The pros and cons to integrate different separation mechanisms (IEF, CE, SEC, RPLC, HILIC, HIC, and IEX) are discussed considering development stages in the spatial domain (xLC) in the first and second dimension and time domain (tLC) for the third dimension. Based on Pareto-optimization, we discuss the considerations of the channel length, particle diameter, and the effect of number of second- and third-dimension channels on the resulting peak capacity of a spatial xIEF × xSEC × tRPLC device. Novel equations are proposed to determine the peak capacity in xSEC and to account for sample modulation affected by the number of second- and third-dimension channels. The corresponding Pareto fronts have been constructed demonstrating the resolving power, in terms of peak capacity and analysis time, considering current state-of-the-art prototyping methodologies. A microfluidic spatial prototype chip with an integrated channel layout (64 2D and 4096 3D channels) has been created, which has the potential to yield a peak capacity of 32,600 within only 44 min of the total analysis time, by implementing xIEF × xSEC × tRPLC separation stages.

Peak broadening caused by using different micro-liquid chromatography detectors. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:6107-6114. [PMID: 35705858 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04170-9] [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: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Advancements in column technology resulted in smaller particles and more efficient phases. In parallel, the use of columns with reduced dimensions is becoming more common. This means the effective column volume is also decreased, thereby making the systems more susceptible to effects of band broadening due to extra-column volume. Despite these trends and the fact that a growing number of miniaturized liquid chromatography systems are being offered commercially, manufacturers often stick to the modular concept with dedicated units for pumps, column oven, and detectors. This modular design results in long connection capillaries, which leads to extra-column band broadening and consequently prevents the exploitation of the intrinsic efficiency of state-of-the-art columns. In particular, band broadening post column has a considerable negative effect on efficiency. In this study, mass flow and concentration-dependent detectors were examined for their influence on band broadening using a micro-LC system. A mass spectrometric detector, an evaporative light scattering detector, two UV detectors, and a previously undescribed fluorescence detector were compared. The influence on efficiency is compared using plate height vs linear velocity data and peak variance. It is shown that an increase in the inner diameter after the post-column transfer capillary leads to significant loss in plate height. Comparing the UV detectors, it could be shown that the dispersion was reduced by 38% by the reduction of the post-column volume. The largest variance was found for the evaporative light scattering detector, which was 368% higher compared to the variance of the detector with the least effect on band broadening.

Abstract
A stationary phase based on sub-2 μm ground silica monolith particles was fabricated by in situ polymerization and applied in micro-column for separation of peptides. The sub-2 μm silica particles were obtained from monolith using sol-gel process followed by grinding and sedimentation to remove the fines. Initially, the silica monolith particles were pretreated with 3-trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate to attach double-bonded ligands onto the surface, then a network structure was formed onto the surface of the particle using styrene, N-isopropylacrylamide, and ethylene glycoldimethacrylate. The effect of the flow rate of the mobile phase on the separation performance was investigated. The stationary phase was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, particle size distribution, and element analysis. The resultant phase was packed in glass-lined stainless steel micro-columns (2.1 mm × 50 mm) and evaluated for fast separation. An average number of theoretical plates as high as 9800 plates/column (5.10 μm plate height) was achieved for five synthetic peptides under the optimized flow rate of 0.15 mL/min. The repeatabilities of column-to-column, intraday, and interday through relative standard deviation were found better than 4%, exhibiting satisfactory repeatability of the developed micro-column for fast separation of peptides.

Column-in-valve designs to minimize extra-column volumes. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1637:461779.

Abstract
We report on the design and performance of in-house built column cartridges that can be directly screwed into the ports of a commercial rotor-stator valve to minimize extra-column band broadening and pressure-drop losses when pursuing ultra-fast separations such as those needed in 2D and 3D-LC separations. Two basic designs were evaluated and were compared with the results obtained with a commercial screw-in column cartridge. The system produces an extra-column band broadening as low as 0.05 to 0.1 μL2 for the employed UV-detector set-up. Despite these very low values, the obtained separation efficiency of the in-house fabricated cartridge columns was very low, corresponding to a reduced minimal plate height around h=7 at the very best, which, for the 1.7 μm particle and 26.4 mm long columns corresponds to a number of theoretical plates of N=2200 under isocratic conditions. A similar poor performance was obtained with a commercial column cartridge with similar dimensions using the same set-up. One possible explanation of the observed performance could be found in the inner diameter of the column cartridges (i.d. =0.75 mm and 1 mm) which, for the employed sub 2-μm particles, falls into a region of column diameters that, according to literature models, is most likely to suffer from inherent packing problems.

Abstract
By combining separation efficiency data as a function of flow rate with the column permeability, the kinetic plot method allows to determine the limits of separation power (time vs. efficiency) of different chromatographic techniques and methods. The technique can be applied for all different types of chromatography (liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid), for different types of column morphologies (packed beds, monoliths, open tubular, micromachined columns), for pressure and electro-driven separations and in both isocratic and gradient elution mode. The present contribution gives an overview of the methods and calculations required to correctly determine these kinetic performance limits and their underlying limitations.

Abstract
Characterization of silver-associated proteins is important to elucidate underlined mechanisms of silver-containing materials against microbes. Gel electrophoresis based methods are the most popular and basic strategy for the analysis of biomolecules, i.e., proteins and nucleic acids. It solely provides molecular weights of analytes. Extending the method from molecular weight to elemental composition is highly desired when investigating metal-containing molecules. Herein, a gel electrophoresis based method combining native sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (native SDS-PAGE), fluorescent staining, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) strategy was developed for separation and detection of silver-associated proteins. Two home-made silver-labeled proteins, carbonic anhydrase and ovalbumin, were used for validation of the strategy performance. Silver-associated proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus treated with silver nanoparticles were further characterized by this method. Some well-known and new proteins were identified to associate to silver in both P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, demonstrating the feasibility of the developed strategy. In conclusion, the current study provides a convenient method for readily identification of silver-associated proteins in biological samples.

Development and validation of ultra-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of meloxicam and its impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract
The main objective was to develop a suitable and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for the quantitative determination of meloxicam and its impurities. Starting from data in literature, we calculated the new parameters to translate a high performance liquid chromatography method used for the analysis of meloxicam with its major degradation products to UPLC method, and then we switched on many trials to optimize and improve its analytical performance. Chromatographic separation was achieved on ACQUITY UPLC HSS-T3 (2.1×100mm, 1.8μm). The eluted compounds were monitored at 260nm and 350nm. The flow rate was set at 0.4mL/min, injection volume at 0.8μl, and the column oven temperature was maintained at 45°C. The developed method was validated according to the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, quantification limit, detection limit; and then applied to stability study of meloxicam subjected to different ICH prescribed stress conditions (hydrolysis, oxidation, heat and photolysis). The results show that the new UPLC method enables separation of meloxicam from its impurities in only 5min with a total mobile phase consumption of 1.8mL. All impurities get separated with good peak shapes and resolution factor greater than 2. The new method indicates stability and proved to be specific, precise accurate with linear correlation between concentrations and peak areas, allowing gain of more than six times analysis and more than twenty times solvent consumption, so in cost. Therefore, it can be beneficial for pharmaceutical industrial output.

Abstract
In the twenty years since its initial demonstration, capillary ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) has proven to be one of most powerful separation techniques for the analysis of complex mixtures. This review focuses on the most recent advances made since 2010 towards increasing the performance of such separations. Improvements in capillary column preparation techniques that have led to columns with unprecedented performance are described. New stationary phases and phase supports that have been reported over the past decade are detailed, with a focus on their use in capillary formats. A discussion on the instrument developments that have been required to ensure that extra-column effects do not diminish the intrinsic efficiency of these columns during analysis is also included. Finally, the impact of these capillary UHPLC topics on the field of proteomics and ways in which capillary UHPLC may continue to be applied to the separation of complex samples are addressed.

Abstract
The impact of viscous friction on eluent temperature and column efficiency in liquid chromatography is of renewed interest as the need for pressures exceeding 1000bar to use with columns packed with sub-2μm particles has grown. One way the development of axial and radial temperature gradients that arise due to viscous friction can be affected is by the thermal environment the column is placed in. In this study, a new column oven integrated into an ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatograph that enables both still-air and forced-air operating modes is investigated to find the magnitude of the effect of the axial thermal gradient that forms in 2.1×100mm columns packed with sub-2μm particles in these modes. Temperature increases of nearly 30K were observed when the generated power of the column exceeded 25W/m. The impact of the heating due to viscous friction on the repeatability of peak capacity, elution time, and peak area ratio to an internal standard for a gradient UHPLC-MS/MS method to analyze neurotransmitters was found to be limited. This result indicates that high speed UHPLC-MS/MS gradient methods under conditions of high viscous friction may be possible without the negative effects typically observed with isocratic separations under similar conditions.

Abstract
Large-size (4–5 µm) superficially porous particles yield lower plate heights (e.g., the minimal reduced plate height or hmin ≈ 1.5) than fully porous particles of a similar size when packed into large-bore columns. This property allows for better chromatographic performance without the higher pressures required for smaller particles. This study explores the use of such particles in microfluidic LC columns where materials and fitting pressure limits can constrain the size of particle used. The theoretically predicted performance improvements compared to fully porous particles were not demonstrated in capillary columns (with hmin ≈ 2 for both particle types), in agreement with previous studies that examined smaller superficially porous particles. Microfluidic columns were then compared to capillary columns. Capillary columns significantly outperformed microfluidic columns due to imperfections imposed by microfluidic channel asymmetry and world-to-chip connection at the optimal flow rate; however, superficially porous particles packed in microfluidic LC columns had flatter plate height versus flow rate curves indicating potential for better performance at high reduced velocities.
