Abstract
Polymer monoliths can be polymerised within different molds, but limited options are available for the preparation of free-standing polymer monoliths for analytical sample preparation, and in particular, solid-phase extraction (SPE). Commercial melamine-formaldehyde sponges can be used as supports for the preparation of polymer monoliths, due its flexibility, giving various shapes to monoliths. Herein, the crosslinker/porogen ratio of highly porous sponge-nested divinylbenzene (DVB) polymer monoliths has been evaluated. Monoliths prepared using different crosslinker/porogen ratios were applied to the extraction of bisphenol F, bisphenol A, bisphenol AF, and bisphenol B. Monoliths containing 50 wt % DVB and 50 wt % porogens presented the highest recovery of bisphenols. Under the optimised conditions, the developed method showed a linear range between 2.5 µg L-1 and 150 µg L-1 for BPA and BPAF, and between 5 µg L-1 and 150 µg L-1 for BPB and BPF. The limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and limits of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) ranged from 0.36 µg L-1 to 1.09 µg L-1, and from 1.20 µg L-1 to 3.65 µg L-1, respectively. The recoveries for spiked bisphenols (10 µg L-1) in tap water and water contained in a polycarbonate containers were between 82 % and 114 %.

A new approach towards highly sensitive detection of endogenous N-acetylaspartic acid, N-acetylglutamic acid, and N-acetylaspartylglutamic acid in brain tissues based on strong anion exchange monolith microextraction coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:360.

Abstract
A novel in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled with an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method has been established for simultaneous quantification of three crucial brain biomarkers N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA), N-acetylglutamic acid (NAG), and N-acetylaspartylglutamic acid (NAAG). A polymer monolith with quaternary ammonium as the functional group was designed and exhibited efficient enrichment of target analytes through strong anion exchange interaction. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed method displayed wide linear ranges (0.1-80 nM for NAA and NAG, 0.2-160 nM for NAAG) with good precision (RSDs were lower than 15%) and low limits of detection (0.019-0.052 nM), which is by far the most sensitive approach for NAA, NAG, and NAAG determination. Furthermore, this approach has been applied to measure the target analytes in mouse brain samples, and endogenous NAA, NAG, and NAAG were successfully detected and quantified from only around 5 mg of cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus. Compared with existing methods, the newly developed method in the current study provides highest sensitivity and lowest sample consumption for NAA, NAG, and NAAG measurements, which would potentially be utilized in determining and tracking these meaningful brain biomarkers in diseases or treatment processes, benefiting the investigations of pathophysiology and treatment of brain disorders.

Abstract
Polymer monolithic stationary phases were prepared based on a cyclic anhydride as a reactive and tunable platform via ring-opening post-polymerization using primary amines, octadecylamine and benzylamine. The characterization techniques indicated the insertion of the functional groups into the original monoliths and confirmed the amidation reactions. The post-polymerization modification also improved the monolith's thermal and mechanical stability and induced significant improvement in their surface area. The stationary phases were synthesized inside small dimension stainless-steel columns (2.1 mm i.d. × 50 mm length). The prepared columns before and after modifications have been tested for the separation of the alkylbenzene series and some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as model compounds. In all cases, the chromatographic performance in terms of the height equivalent to a theoretical plate on the functionalized monoliths was remarkably improved when compared with that on the unmodified monolith, which was between 9.59-39.49 μm and 4.08-31.50 μm using monoliths modified with octadecylamine and benzylamine, respectively. Under the same chromatographic conditions, the functionalization of monoliths with octadecylamine provided more hydrophobic interactions and enhanced the retention of alkylbenzenes, while the modification of monoliths with benzyl groups improved the separation and the retention of the PAHs through the strong π-π interactions. However, post-modification polymerization with octadecylamine and benzylamine enhanced the separation efficiency of the prepared columns toward all studied compounds. The repeatability of the injections on the same column and the reproducibility of the prepared columns have been studied for some selected parameters and estimated in terms of percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) for some of the studied compounds. The repeatability of the prepared columns was ≤9.42% (n = 5) based on run-to-run injections and ≤9.48% based on day-to-day injections for five successive days. The reproducibility levels, on the other hand, were ≤20.95% for all studied parameters in all cases. To assess their performance for the analysis of real samples, the applicability of the prepared columns was examined for the separation of the active ingredients extracted from some commercial pharmaceutical formulations and for the separation of tea water extract constituents. The validation data show the suitability of the columns for practical use in the routine analysis of these samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, such that the need for a rapid and accurate assessment for PTB risk is critical. Here, we developed a 3D printed microfluidic system that integrated solid-phase extraction (SPE) and microchip electrophoresis (μCE) of PTB biomarkers, enabling the combination of biomarker enrichment and labeling with μCE separation and fluorescence detection. RESULTS Reversed-phase SPE monoliths were photopolymerized in 3D printed devices. Microvalves in the device directed sample between the SPE monolith and the injection cross-channel in the serpentine μCE channel. Successful on-chip preconcentration, labeling and μCE separation of four PTB-related polypeptides were demonstrated in these integrated microfluidic devices. We further show the ability of these devices to handle complex sample matrices through the successful analysis of labeled PTB biomarkers spiked into maternal blood serum. The detection limit was 7 nM for the PTB biomarker, corticotropin releasing factor, in 3D printed SPE-μCE integrated devices. SIGNIFICANCE This work represents the first successful demonstration of integration of SPE and μCE separation of disease-linked biomarkers in 3D printed microfluidic devices. These studies open up promising possibilities for rapid bioanalysis of medically relevant analytes.

Abstract
Four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies are revolutionizing the fabrication of stimuli-responsive devices. To advance the analytical performance of conventional solid-phase extraction (SPE) devices using 4DP technology, in this study, we employed N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-incorporated photocurable resins and digital light processing three-dimensional printing to fabricate an SPE column with a [H+]/temperature dual-responsive monolithic packing stacked as interlacing cuboids to extract Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions. When these metal ions were eluted using 0.5% HNO3 solution as the eluent at a temperature below the lower critical solution temperature of polyNIPAM, the monolithic packing swelled owing to its hydrophilic/hydrophobic transition and electrostatic repulsion among the protonated units of polyNIPAM. These effects resulted in smaller interstitial volumes among these interlacing cuboids and improvements in the elution peak profiles of the metal ions, which, in turn, demonstrated the reduced method detection limits (MDLs; range, 0.2-7.2 ng L-1) during analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We studied the effects of optimizing the elution peak profiles of the metal ions on the analytical performance of this method and validated its reliability and applicability by analyzing the metal ions in reference materials (CASS-4, SLRS-5, 1643f, and Seronorm Trace Elements Urine L-2) and performing spike analyses of seawater, groundwater, river water, and human urine samples. Our results suggest that this 4D-printed elution-peak-guided dual-responsive monolithic packing enables lower MDLs when packed in an SPE column to facilitate the analyses of the metal ions in complex real samples.

Abstract
The increasing demand for highly pure biopharmaceuticals has put significant pressure on the biotechnological industry to innovate in production and purification processes. Nucleic acid purification, crucial for gene therapy and vaccine production, presents challenges due to the unique physical and chemical properties of these molecules. Meeting regulatory standards necessitates large quantities of biotherapeutic agents of high purity. While conventional chromatography offers versatility and efficiency, it suffers from drawbacks like low flow rates and binding capacity, as well as high mass transfer resistance. Recent advancements in continuous beds, including monoliths and cryogel-based systems, have emerged as promising solutions to overcome these limitations. This review explores and evaluates the latest progress in chromatography utilizing monolithic and cryogenic supports for nucleic acid purification.

Immobilization of controlled Pu:Am ratio on actinide-specific affinity monolith support developed in capillary and coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to develop an actinide-specific monolithic support in capillary designed to immobilize precise Pu:Am ratios and its coupling to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for immobilized metal affinity chromatography applications. This format offers many advantages, such as reducing the sample amount and waste production, which are of prime importance when dealing with highly active radioelements. Four organic phosphorylated-based monoliths were synthesized in situ through UV photo-polymerization in capillary and characterized. The capillary coupling to ICP-MS was set up in conventional laboratory using Th and Sm as chemical analogues of Pu and Am. A dedicated method was developed to quantify online Th and Sm amounts immobilized on the monolithic capillaries, allowing to select the best monolith candidate poly(BMEP-co-EDMA)adp. By precisely adjusting the elemental composition in the loading solutions and applying the developed quantification method, the controlled immobilization of several Th:Sm molar ratios onto the monolith was successful. Finally, the capillary ICP-MS coupling was transposed in a glove box and by applying the strategy developed to design the monolithic support using Th and Sm, the immobilization of a 10.5 ± 0.2 (RSD = 2.3%, n = 3) Pu:Am molar ratio reflecting Pu ageing over 48 years was achieved in a controlled manner on poly(BMEP-co-EDMA)adp. Hence, the new affinity capillary monolithic support was validated, with only hundred nanograms or less of engaged radioelements and can be further exploited to precisely determine differential interactions of Pu and Am with targeted biomolecules in order to better anticipate the effect of Am on Pu biodistribution.

Abstract
A monolithic adsorbent was designed aiming to the structure of osthole and columbianadin, and fabricated using diallyl phthalate as the monomer and ethylene dimethacrylate as the crosslinker with the addition of bamboo biochar, via polymerization reaction in a stainless-steel tube. The prepared composite adsorbent packed in the tube was used as a solid-phase extraction column for the extraction and determination of two coumarins (osthole and columbianadin) in Angelicae Pubescentis Radix, combing with a C18 analytical column through an HPLC instrument, which show excellent matrix-removal ability and good selectivity to osthole and columbianadin. Furthermore, the present adsorbent shows good applicability, which was used for the extraction of osthole from Duhuo Jisheng Pill. Compared to the commercial C18 and phenyl adsorbent, the present adsorbent own better selectivity and higher resolution. These results attributed to the enhanced specific surface area (141 m2/g) and enriched interaction sites of the resulting composite adsorbent, due to the doping of bamboo biochar, which can produce hydrogen bond, dipole-dipole, π-π and hydrophobic force interactions with the osthole and columbianadin. The methodology validation indicated that the present method showed good precision and good accuracy, and the composite adsorbent showed good preparative repeatability, which can be reused for no less than 100 times with the relative standard deviation ≤4.6 % (n = 100). The present work provided a simple and efficient method for the extraction and determination osthole and columbianadin from Angelicae Pubescentis Radix.

Abstract
Here, we report the preparation and application of two new chiral monoliths for the enantioseparation of chiral drugs in nano-LC. Using 3‑chloro-2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA-Cl, 2) as a precursor monomer, two different chiral monomers namely, Nα-Boc-Lys-HPMA (3A) and Nα-Fmoc-Lys-HPMA (3B) were synthesized and used for the preparation of chiral polymer monoliths. The first monolithic column (referred to as monolith I) was prepared by an in-situ polymerization of Nα-Boc-Lys-HPMA as the chiral monomer and ethylene dimethacrylate while the second monolithic column (referred to as monolith II) was prepared by an in-situ polymerization of Nα-Fmoc-Lys-HPMA as the chiral monomer and ethylene dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. Methanol and 1-propanol were used as the porogenic solvents. The prepared chiral monoliths were investigated for the enantioseparation of chiral drugs, including β-blockers (e.g., atenolol, propranolol, metoprolol) and anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ketoprofen, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, naproxen, etodolac). The enantioseparation could be achieved via the formation of π-π interactions on the aromate-rich and aromate-poor chiral molecules while enantioseparation mechanism of chiral drugs included mostly π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding. Monolith II showed better enantioselectivity than Monolith I and the resolution values up to 2.12 were successfully achieved.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important participants in numerous pathophysiological processes, and could be used as valuable biomarkers to detect and monitor various diseases. However, facile EV isolation methods are the essential and preliminary issue for their downstream analysis and function investigation. In this work, a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) based hybrid monolith combined metal affinity chromatography (MAC) and distearoyl phospholipid ethanolamine (DSPE) function was developed via photo-initiated thiol-ene polymerization. This synthesis process was facile, simple and convenient, and the obtained hybrid monolith could be applied to efficiently isolate EVs from bio-samples by taking advantages of the specific bond of Ti4+ and phosphate groups on the phospholipid membrane of EVs and the synergistic effect of DSPE insertion. Meanwhile, the eluted EVs could maintain their structural integrity and biological activity, suggesting they could be used for downstream application. Furthermore, 75 up-regulated proteins and 56 down-regulated proteins were identified by comparing the urinary EVs of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and healthy donors, and these proteins might be used as potential biomarkers for early screening of CRC. These results demonstrated that this hybrid monolith could be used as a simple and convenient tool for isolating EVs from bio-samples and for wider applications in biomarker discovery.

Morales N, Thickett SC, Maya F. Sponge-nested polymer monoliths: Versatile materials for the solid-phase extraction of bisphenols. J Sep Sci 2023; 46:e2300378. [PMID: 37528734 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202300378] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
Polymer monoliths are promising materials for sample preparation due to their high porosity, pH stability, and simple preparation. The use of melamine formaldehyde foams has been reported as an effective support to prepare highly robust silica and polymer monoliths. Herein, divinylbenzene monoliths based on a 50:50 (%, w/w) crosslinker/porogen ratio have been nested within a melamine-formaldehyde sponge, resulting in monoliths with a surface area higher than 400 m2 /g. The extraction performance of these monoliths was evaluated for the extraction of endocrine-disrupting bisphenols from aqueous solutions. We evaluated for the first time the versatility of sponge-nested polymer monoliths by comparing three different extraction modes (vortex mixing, magnetic stirring, and orbital shaking). Vortex mixing showed a comparable recovery of bisphenols (39%-81%) in a shorter extraction time (30 min, instead of 2 h). In addition, the robustness of the sponge-nested polymer monoliths was demonstrated for the first time by reshaping a larger monolithic cube (0.125 cm3 ) into four smaller pieces (4 × 0.03125 cm3 ) leading to a 16%-21% increase in extraction efficiency. This effect was attributed to an increase in the effective contact area with the sample, obtaining a higher analyte extraction capacity.

Abstract
Post-printing functionalization can enhance the functionality and applicability of analytical devices manufactured using three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies. In this study we developed a post-printing foaming-assisted coating scheme-through respective treatments with a formic acid (30%, v/v) solution and a sodium bicarbonate (0.5%, w/v) solution incorporating titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs; 1.0%, w/v)-for in situ fabrication of TiO2 NP-coated porous polyamide monoliths in 3D-printed solid phase extraction columns, thereby enhancing the extraction efficiencies of Cr(III), Cr(VI), As(III), As(V), Se(IV), and Se(VI) for speciation of inorganic Cr, As, and Se species in high-salt-content samples when using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. After optimizing the experimental conditions, the 3D-printed solid phase extraction columns with the TiO2 NP-coated porous monoliths extracted these species with 5.0- to 21.9-fold enhancements, relative to those obtained with the uncoated monolith, with absolute extraction efficiencies ranging from 84.5 to 98.3% and method detection limits ranging from 0.7 to 32.3 ng L-1. We validated the reliability of this multi-elemental speciation method through determination of these species in four reference materials [CASS-4 (nearshore seawater), SLRS-5 (river water), 1643f (fresh water), and Seronorm Trace Elements Urine L-2 (human urine); relative errors between certified and measured concentrations: 5.6 to +4.0%] and spike analyses of seawater, river water, agriculture waste, and human urine samples (spike recoveries: 96-104%; relative standard deviations of these measured concentrations all below 4.3%). Our results demonstrate that post-printing functionalization has great potential for future applicability in 3DP-enabling analytical methods.

A monolithic composite based on zeolite-like metal-organic framework@divinylbenzene polymer separates azeotropic fluorocarbon mixture efficiently. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1694:463922. [PMID: 36931139 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463922] [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: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Organic monolithic columns are mainly used to separate macromolecules; however, many attempts to extend their performance toward small molecules were examined by incorporating micro- and nanoparticles. The incorporation technique enabled utilizing organic monoliths in gas chromatography (GC) for small molecules, which are still scarce. Here, we prepared a composite matrix of capillary monolithic columns of a zeolite-like metal-organic framework with a sodalite topology (sod-ZMOF) and Divinylbenzene polymer (DVB) for GC separations under 0.5 MPa. Relatively short DVB monolithic columns (18 cm long × 0.25 mm i.d.) incorporated with a tiny amount of sod-ZMOF nanoparticles (0.7 and 1.17 wt%) with an average particle size of 225 nm were successfully fabricated and used to separate linear alkanes and polar probes mixtures with increasing resolution up to 3.7 and 5.1 times, respectively, compared to a blank DVB monolithic column. A high-performance separation of linear alkanes series mixture (methane to decane) was exhibited in less than 2 min. McReynolds constants revealed that sod-ZMOF provided the composite monolith with a nonpolar character yielding a negative average polarity value smaller than the standard squalene column. An Excellent retention time of pentane and octane day-to-day reproducibility was achieved during 16 days and over more than 500 runs with RSD% of 2.25% and 3.3% using a composite monolithic column with 5 mg mL-1 sod-ZMOF (5-ZMOF@DVB). In addition, a qualitative determination of the gas mixture content of three commercially available Lighter gas cartridges was performed via the 5-ZMOF@DVB column. Finally, successfully separating an azeotropic freon mixture of difluoromethane (R-32) and pentafluoroethane (R-125) was achieved with a selectivity of up to 4.84. A further thermodynamic study related the preferential adsorption of R-125 to entropic factors rather than enthalpic while trapping inside ZMOF pores. This work sheds light on utilizing the infinite diversity of MOFs and combining their properties with high permeability and easily fabricated organic monoliths for GC separations of light molecules and gasses. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of GC as an easy and fast approach for the preliminary evaluation of the separation efficiency of porous polymers.

Montmorillonite-based polymethacrylate composite monoliths as stationary phase materials for food and pharmaceutical analysis in capillary liquid and gas chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1690:463695.

Abstract
This work relates to the preparation of novel and promising stationary phases containing inorganic-organic composites for capillary liquid and gas chromatography. A naturally occurring montmorillonite was introduced to polymethacrylate monoliths, then used under different conditions of GC and HPLC at the same time. The performance of the columns was evaluated for the separation of alkane and alkylbenzene series in GC and capillary HPLC, respectively. While the bare monoliths failed to separate the model analytes, montmorillonite-based polymethacrylate allowed a full separation of the mixtures with Rs≥1.42. The columns were applied for the determination of myrcene and limonene isomers in the peel extracts of some fruits using GC, and for the analysis of active ingredients including aspirin, vitamin-C, caffeine, and ibuprofen extracted from common drugs using capillary HPLC. In GC, fast separation was achieved in 1.0 min with Rs of 6.53. The columns exhibited the best efficiency for myrcene with 20,900 plates/m. Using the capillary HPLC columns, the active ingredients were resolved in 10 min with Rs≥5.72. The efficiency values located between 12,800-21,700 plates/m in all cases. The developed methods were found to be linear in the range of 0.10-10.0 and 0.20-180 μg/mL for GC and HPLC, respectively. In comparison with commercial columns, the results in GC methods reveal that, despite their much shorter length, the prepared columns proved a faster separation with higher efficiency and comparable detection limits and chromatographic resolution. The prepared HPLC capillaries exposed lower run times and detection limits with comparable efficiency and resolution, and consume fewer samples and mobile phase solvents. The results demonstrate that the montmorillonite-based polymethacrylate composites are applicable as stationary phases for routine analysis and quality control of important fields such as food and pharmaceutical samples.

Abstract
Polymer monoliths are an alternative to traditional particle-packed supports used in solid-phase extraction because of their ease of preparation, high porosity, and pH stability. They often required the attachment of monoliths to a support, such as the internal walls of a column to enable their use for sample preparation. Applications of free-standing polymer monoliths are rarely found because of their limited mechanical stability. Herein, divinylbenzene monoliths were polymerised within a commercial melamine-formaldehyde sponge using different polymerisation times. The sponge-nested polymer monoliths are highly robust, and their size and shape can be easily adjusted for desired applications. The prepared sponge-nested polymer monoliths had surface areas in the range of 237 m2 g-1 to 369 m2 g-1. A melamine-formaldehyde sponge cut into 1 cm3 cubes were used to template the polymer monoliths. Miniaturized monoliths with a size of 0.125 cm3 were directly cut from the larger cubes without compromising the integrity of the porous monolith structure. The resulting nested monolith sorptive extraction (NMSE) supports were applied for the extraction of the endocrine disruptors bisphenol A, 4-tert-butylphenol, and 4-tert-octylphenol. The prepared sponge-nested monoliths are low-cost (40 monoliths/AU$). NMSE was carried out by the direct immersion of the monoliths in the aqueous standards/samples, requiring only an orbital shaker for the extraction procedure. Best performance was obtained for polymer monoliths polymerized for 6 h, enabling limits of detection of 5.6 to 6.5 µg L-1 for the selected analysis using HPLC-UV.

Abstract
The performance of the current bottom-up liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses has undoubtedly been fueled by spectacular progress in mass spectrometry. It is thus not surprising that the MS instrument attracts the most attention during LC-MS method development, whereas optimizing conditions for peptide separation using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) remains somewhat in its shadow. Consequently, the wisdom of the fundaments of chromatography is slowly vanishing from some laboratories. However, the full potential of advanced MS instruments cannot be achieved without highly efficient RPLC. This is impossible to attain without understanding fundamental processes in the chromatographic system and the properties of peptides important for their chromatographic behavior. We wrote this tutorial intending to give practitioners an overview of critical aspects of peptide separation using RPLC to facilitate setting the LC parameters so that they can leverage the full capabilities of their MS instruments. After briefly introducing the gradient separation of peptides, we discuss their properties that affect the quality of LC-MS chromatograms the most. Next, we address the in-column and extra-column broadening. The last section is devoted to key parameters of LC-MS methods. We also extracted trends in practice from recent bottom-up proteomics studies and correlated them with the current knowledge on peptide RPLC separation.

Abstract
This work is associated with the preparation of capillary chromatographic columns containing inorganic-organic composites comprised of naturally occurring montmorillonite (MMT) clay mineral and polymethacrylate monolithic material. The prepared composites combine the best qualities of both constituents, offering desirable properties for use under the disparate conditions of both GC and HPLC at the same time. The stationary phases were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the specific surface area, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and examined in terms of various conditions utilized for GC and HPLC methods. The prepared columns demonstrated an excellent permeability and stability against common chromatographic conditions, such as the eluent type, flow rate, pressure, and temperature. The results confirmed that the addition of small amounts of MMT into the monolith induced significant improvement in the specific surface area, which contributed to the formation of more active sites and enhanced the retention of analytes. The registered column backpressures did not exceed 980 kPa and 16,500 kPa for the prepared GC and HPLC columns, respectively. The prepared columns were subjected to the separation of various interesting compounds possessing different chemistries and polarities, including alkanes, alkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alcohols, ketones, phenols, some common organic solvents, and isomeric mixtures. Under the optimal conditions, the efficiency of the columns fell between 4900–38,500 plates m−1 for GC and 3400–58,800 plates m−1 for capillary HPLC applications. In all cases, the measured chromatographic resolution was more than 1.38, with excellent an peak symmetry and low tailing factors. In comparison with the most commonly used commercial columns, the polysiloxane open tubular column for GC and silica-based C18 packed column for HPLC, the prepared GC columns demonstrated a faster separation with a higher efficiency, comparable resolution and tailing factors, and lower consumption of carrier gas. Regarding the capillary columns prepared for HPLC, the chromatographic experiments exposed a much lower run time with a comparable efficiency and resolution and drastically lower consumption of mobile phase solvents and samples. The results demonstrate that the MMT-based polymethacrylate monolith composites are applicable as novel and promising separation media for analyzing various mixtures of interest in different fields, such as petrochemical and environmental samples.

Abstract
A new feature of hydrophobic fumed silica nanoparticles (HFSNPs) when they apply to the preparation of monolithic nano-columns using narrow monolithic fused silica capillary columns (e.g., 50-µm inner diameter) was presented. The monolithic nano-columns were synthesized by an in-situ polymerization using butyl methacrylate (BMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) at various concentrations of AEROSIL®R972, called HFSNPs. Dimethyl formamide (DMF) and water were used as the porogenic solvents. These columns (referred to as HFSNP monoliths) were successfully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and reversed-phase nano-LC using alkylbenzenes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons as solute probes. The reproducibility values based on run-to-run, column-to-column and batch-to-batch were found as 2.3%, 2.48% and 2.99% (n = 3), respectively. The optimized column also indicated promising hydrophobic interactions under reversed-phase conditions, while the feasibility of the column allowed high efficiency and high throughput nano-LC separations. The potential of the final HFSNP monolith in relation to intact protein separation was successfully demonstrated using six intact proteins, including ribonuclease A, cytochrome C, carbonic anhydrase isozyme II, lysozyme, myoglobin, and α-chymotrypsinogen A in nano-LC. The results showed that HFSNP-based monolithic nanocolumns are promising materials and are powerful tools for sensitive separations.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an effective antibiotic with broad spectrum against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, while it is used to treat various infections in animals. Although CAP is banned for usage in the livestock products including, milk, honey, seafood, and royal jelly, CAP is still often detected in foods of animal origin, posing a threat to consumer health. The use of CAP is restricted in many countries due to its side effect in human metabolic process according to the Expert Committee on Food Additives (ECFA) recommendation. Chloramphenicol glucuronide (CAPG) is also a metabolic product of CAP, which may be a hazardous chemical for human health. Therefore, the development of sensitive separation and quantification method is an important issue, especially for food safety. Herein, we reported the preparation and application of a monolithic nano-column for CAP and CAPG analyses in foods by ProFlow Nano liquid chromatography (ProFlow Nano LC). The monolithic nano-column was prepared by an in situ polymerization using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA-Cl) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) and followed graphene oxide (GO) modification. After characterization, the monolithic nano-column was used for the analysis of CAP and CAPG in honey and milk samples by ProFlow Nano LC. The whole method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, precision, recovery, and repeatability, while it led to obtain high sensitivity with limit of quantification was found as 0.02 µg/kg for CAP. Limit of quantification for CAPG was found as 0.08 µg/kg. The developed method with monolithic nano-column was optimized to achieve very sensitive analyses of CAP and CAPG in the food samples. The applicability of the nano-column was successfully demonstrated by the analysis of CAP and CAPG in milk and honey samples. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This article describes the preparation and application of a monolithic nano-column for the separation and determination of chloramphenicol and chloramphenicol glucuronide in food samples by ProFlow Nano LC. The use of new and advanced techniques is a crucial issue in the food science and technology. In this sense, this study demonstrated a new food analysis method using advanced instrumental technique with a homemade monolithic nano-column.

Abstract
Herein, we report the preparation and application of a new nano-structured monolithic nanocolumn based on modified graphene oxide using narrow fused silica capillary column (e.g., 50 μm internal diameter). The nanocolumn was prepared by an in situ polymerization using butyl methacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, and methacryloyl graphene oxide nanoparticles. Dimethyl formamide and water were used as the porogenic solvent. After polymerization, the obtained nanocolumn was coated with dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane in order to enhance the hydrophobicity. Both isocratic and gradient nano-liquid chromatographic separations for small molecules (e.g., alkylbenzenes) and macromolecules (e.g., intact proteins) were performed. Theoretical plates number up to 3600 plates/m in isocratic mode for propylbenzene were achieved. It was demonstrated that the feasibility of graphene oxide modified monolithic nanocolumn for high-efficiency and high-throughput nanoscale proteomics analysis. The high resolving power of monolithic nanocolumn yielded sensitive protein separation with narrower peak width while a high-resolution analysis of peptides from trypsin-digested cytochrome C could be obtained. Graphene oxide based monolithic nanocolumns are promising and can allow to powerful tools for trace proteom sample analysis.

Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide-octadecylsilane incorporated monolithic nano-columns were developed for protein analysis by nano liquid chromatography (nano LC). The monolithic column with 100 μm id was first prepared by an in situ polymerization using ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA-Cl), and methacryloyl graphene oxide nanoparticles (MGONPs). MGONPs were synthesized by the treatment of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (TMSPM) and GO. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dodecanol were used as the porogenic solvent. The resulting column was functionalized by dimethyloctadecylch lorosilane (DODCS) for the enhancement of hydrophobicity. The functionalization greatly improved the baseline separation of hydrophobic compounds such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The optimized monolith with respect to total polymerization mixture was characterized by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chromatographic analyses. The blank monoliths without functionalization exhibited poor separation while a good separation performance of MGONPs functionalized monoliths was achieved. The monolith with 100 μm id was evaluated in protein separation in nano LC using RNase A, Cytochrome C, Lysozyme, Trypsin, and Ca isozyme II as the test proteins. It was shown that protein separation mechanism was based on large π-system of GO and hydrophobicity of the monolithic structure. Theoretical plates number up to 57 600 plates were achieved. The nano-column with 50 μm id was also prepared using the same polymerization mixture under the same chemical conditions. These nano-columns were employed for protein separation by nano LC, and the dependence of both nano-column performance on the internal diameter was also discussed.

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
Enantioseparation of chiral products has become increasingly important in a large diversity of academic and industrial applications. The separation of chiral compounds is inherently challenging and thus requires a suitable analytical technique that can achieve high resolution and sensitivity. In this context, CE has shown remarkable results so far. Chiral CE offers an orthogonal enantioselectivity and is typically considered less costly than chromatographic techniques, since only minute amounts of chiral selectors are needed. Several CE approaches have been developed for chiral analysis, including chiral EKC and chiral CEC. Enantioseparations by EKC benefit from the wide variety of possible pseudostationary phases that can be employed. Chiral CEC, on the other hand, combines chromatographic separation principles with the bulk fluid movement of CE, benefitting from reduced band broadening as compared to pressure-driven systems. Although UV detection is conventionally used for these approaches, MS can also be considered. CE-MS represents a promising alternative due to the increased sensitivity and selectivity, enabling the chiral analysis of complex samples. The potential contamination of the MS ion source in EKC-MS can be overcome using partial-filling and counter-migration techniques. However, chiral analysis using monolithic and open-tubular CEC-MS awaits additional method validation and a dedicated commercial interface. Further efforts in chiral CE are expected toward the improvement of existing techniques, the development of novel pseudostationary phases, and establishing the use of chiral ionic liquids, molecular imprinted polymers, and metal-organic frameworks. These developments will certainly foster the adoption of CE(-MS) as a well-established technique in routine chiral analysis.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of polymer monoliths inside polypropylene tubes from ink pens. These tubes are cheap, chemically stable, and resistant to pressure. UV-initiated grafting with 5 wt% benzophenone in methanol for 20 min activated the internal surface, thus enabling the covalent binding of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, also via photografting. The pendant vinyl groups attached a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith prepared via photopolymerization. These tubes measured 100-110 mm long, with 2 mm of internal diameter. The parent monoliths were functionalized with Na2 SO3 or iminodiacetate to produce strong and weak cation exchangers, respectively. The columns exhibited permeabilities varying from 2.7 to 3.3 × 10-13 m2 , which enabled the separation of proteins at 500 µL/min and back pressures <2.8 MPa. Neither structure collapse nor monolith detachment occurred at flow rates as high as 2.0 mL/min, which produced back pressures between 6.9 and 9.0 MPa. The retention times of ovalbumin, ribonuclease A, cytochrome C, and lysozyme in salt gradient at pH 7.0 followed the order of increasing isoelectric points, confirming the cation exchange mechanism. Separation and determination of lysozyme in egg white proved the applicability of the columns to the analysis of complex samples.

Abstract
Over the past years, a great effort has been devoted to the development of new sorbents that can be used to pack or to coat extractive capillaries for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME). Many of those efforts have been focused on the preparation of capillaries for miniaturized liquid chromatography (LC) due to the reduced availability of capillary columns with appropriate dimensions for this kind of system. Moreover, many of the extractive capillaries that have been used for IT-SPME so far are segments of open columns from the gas chromatography (GC) field, but the phase nature and dimensions are very limited. In particular, polar compounds barely interact with stationary GC phases. Capillary GC columns may also be unsuitable when highly selective extractions are needed. In this work, we provide an overview of the extractive capillaries that have been specifically developed for capillary LC (capLC) and nano LC (nanoLC) to enhance the overall performance of the IT-SPME, the chromatographic separation, and the detection. Different monolithic polymers, such as silica C18 and C8 polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), polymers functionalized with antibodies, and polymers reinforced with different types of carbon nanotubes, metal, and metal oxide nanoparticles (including magnetic nanoparticles), and restricted access materials (RAMs) will be presented and critically discussed.

Incorporation of silver stearate nanoparticles in methacrylate polymeric monoliths for hemeprotein isolation. OPEN CHEM 2020.

Abstract
AbstractA unique method was used to synthesize extremely stable silver stearate nanoparticles
(AgStNPs) incorporated in an organic-based monolith. The facile strategy was then
used to selectively isolate hemeproteins, myoglobin (Myo) and hemoglobin (Hb). Ethyl
alcohol, silver nitrate, and stearic acid were, respectively, utilized as reducing
agents, silver precursors, and capping agents. The color changed to cloudy from
transparent, indicating that AgStNPs had been formed. AgStNP nanostructures were then
distinctly integrated into the natural polymeric scaffold. To characterize the
AgStNP–methacrylate polymeric monolith and the silver nanoparticles,
energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were used. The results of the SEM
analysis indicated that the AgStNP–methacrylate polymeric monolith’s
texture was so rough in comparison with that of the methacrylate polymeric monolith,
indicating that the extraction process of the monolith materials would be more
efficient because of the extended surface area of the absorbent. The comparison
between the FT-IR spectra of AgStNPs, the bare organic monolith, and
AgStNP–methacrylate polymeric monolith confirms that the AgStNPs were
immobilized on the surface of the organic monolith. The EDX profile of the built
materials indicated an advanced peak of the Ag sequence which represented an Ag atom
of 3.27%. The results therefore established that the AgStNPs had been successfully
integrated into the monolithic materials. Extraction efficiencies of 92% and 97% were
used to, respectively, recover preconcentrated Myo and Hb. An uncomplicated method is
a unique approach of both fabrication and utilization of the nanosorbent to
selectively isolate hemeproteins. The process can further be implemented by using
other noble metals.

Abstract
In this study, poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) polymeric monoliths were in situ developed within 0.75 mm i.d. poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) tubing by UV polymerization via three different free-radical initiators (α,α'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA) and 2-methyl-4'-(methylthio)-2-morpholinopropiophenone (MTMPP). The influence of the nature of each photo-initiator and irradiation time on the morphological features of the polymer was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, and the chromatographic properties of the resulting microbore columns were evaluated using alkyl benzenes as test substances. The beds photo-initiated with MTMPP gave the best performance (minimum plate heights of 38 μm for alkyl benzenes) and exhibited a satisfactory reproducibility in the chromatographic parameters (RSD < 11%). These monolithic columns were also successfully applied to the separation of phenylurea herbicides, proteins and a tryptic digest of β-casein.
