Abstract
Packed capillary columns have become the standard front-end separation device for mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The development of simple, fast, and robust capillary column technology, especially that with mass-fabrication capacity, can greatly improve analytical throughput and reproducibility in omics research. In this technical note, we report a centrifugal packing technology, which has the capability to mass fabricate high quality capillary columns with a 2886 columns/day fabrication throughput. The centrifugally packed columns presented significantly improved efficiency (reduced plate height hmin = 1.6, 37%-40% improvement compared with slurry packed columns), advanced kinetic performance limit, and excellent column-to-column reproducibility (2.0% RSD for retention time, 50 columns). Such columns enabled ∼5300 HeLa proteins identified in single-shot proteomic analysis, displaying both intercolumn and inter-run retention time stability (retention time RSD = 0.94% between nine replicates on three columns for probing peptide sequence). The mass-fabrication technology reported in this technical note may support disposable use of high quality chromatographic columns in large-scale bioanalysis.

Abstract
Miniaturization is an important trend in modern analytical instrument development, including miniaturized gas chromatography and liquid chromatography, as well as micro bore columns and capillary-to-microfluidics-based platforms. Apart from the miniaturization of the separation column, which is the core part of a chromatographic system, other parts of the system, including the sampler, pumping system, gradient generation, and detection systems, have been miniaturized. Miniaturized liquid chromatography significantly reduces solvent and sample consumption while providing comparable or even better separation efficiency. When liquid chromatography is coupled with mass spectroscopy, a low flow rate can increase the ionization efficiency, leading to enhanced sensitivity of the mass spectrometer. In contrast, normal-scale liquid chromatography suffers from its relatively high volumetric flow rate, which challenges the scanning frequency of the mass spectrometer. On the other hand because of the small sample size, other detection strategies such as spectrometric methods cannot provide sufficient sensitivity and limits of detection. In this sense, mass spectrometry has become the detection method of choice for micro-scale liquid-phase chromatography. Miniaturized liquid chromatography can diminish sample dilution efficiently when extremely small amounts of samples are used. The main driving force for this miniaturization trend, especially in liquid-phase separations, is the desperate need for microscale analyses of biological and clinical samples, given these samples are precious and the sample size is usually very small. At present, microscale liquid-phase chromatography is the only method of choice for such small, precious, and highly informative samples. The miniaturization of liquid chromatography systems, especially chromatographic columns, would be advantageous to the modularization and integration of liquid chromatography instrumental systems. Chip liquid chromatography is an integration of chromatography columns, liquid control systems, and detection methods on a single microfluidic chip. Chip liquid chromatography is an excellent format for the miniaturization of liquid chromatography systems, and it has already attracted significant attention from academia and industry. However, this attempt is challenging, and great effort is required on fundamental techniques, such as the substrate material of the microfluidic chip, structure of the micro-chromatography column, fluid control method, and detection methods, in order to make the chips suitable for liquid chromatography. Currently, the major problem in chip liquid chromatography is that the properties of the chip substrate materials cannot meet the requirements for further miniaturization and integration of chip liquid chromatography. The strength of the existing chip substrate materials is generally below 60 MPa, and the material properties limit further advances in the miniaturization and integration of chromatographic chips. Therefore, new chip substrate materials and the standard of chip channel design such as channel size and channel structure should be the key for further development of chip liquid chromatography. Mainstream instrumentation companies as well as new start-up innovation companies are now undertaking efforts toward the development of microchip liquid chromatographic products. Agilent, the first instrumentation company that introduced commercial microchip liquid chromatographic columns to the market, has led this field. Apart from microchip-based columns, Agilent introduced trap columns for different kinds of biological molecules as well as gradient generation systems for microchip-based liquid phase chromatography. Recently, another start-up company introduced microchip columns based on the in situ microfabrication of the column bed rather than packing the column with a particulate material. Such developments in microfabrication may further propel the advancement of micro-scale liquid-phase chromatography to an unprecedented level, which is beyond the conventional components and materials employed in normal-scale liquid chromatography. This review introduces the recent research progress in microchip liquid chromatography technologies, and briefly discusses the current state of commercialization of microchips for liquid chromatography by major instrumentation companies.

Trace multi-class organic explosives analysis in complex matrices enabled using LEGO®-inspired clickable 3D-printed solid phase extraction block arrays. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1629:461506.

Abstract
The development of a new, lower cost method for trace explosives recovery from complex samples is presented using miniaturised, click-together and leak-free 3D-printed solid phase extraction (SPE) blocks. For the first time, a large selection of ten commercially available 3D printing materials were comprehensively evaluated for practical, flexible and multiplexed SPE using stereolithography (SLA), PolyJet and fused deposition modelling (FDM) technologies. Miniaturised single-piece, connectable and leak-free block housings inspired by Lego® were 3D-printed in a methacrylate-based resin, which was found to be most stable under different aqueous/organic solvent and pH conditions, using a cost-effective benchtop SLA printer. Using a tapered SPE bed format, frit-free packing of multiple different commercially available sorbent particles was also possible. Coupled SPE blocks were then shown to offer efficient analyte enrichment and a potentially new approach to improve the stability of recovered analytes in the field when stored on the sorbent, rather than in wet swabs. Performance was measured using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry and was better, or similar, to commercially available coupled SPE cartridges, with respect to recovery, precision, matrix effects, linearity and range, for a selection of 13 peroxides, nitramines, nitrate esters and nitroaromatics. Mean % recoveries from dried blood, oil residue and soil matrices were 79 ± 24%, 71 ± 16% and 76 ± 24%, respectively. Excellent detection limits between 60 fg for 3,5-dinitroaniline to 154 pg for nitroglycerin were also achieved across all matrices. To our knowledge, this represents the first application of 3D printing to SPE of so many organic compounds in complex samples. Its introduction into this forensic method offered a low-cost, 'on-demand' solution for selective extraction of explosives, enhanced flexibility for multiplexing/design alteration and potential application at-scene.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is one of the most powerful tools in identifying and quantitating molecular species. Decreasing column diameter from the millimeter to micrometer scale is now a well-developed method which allows for sample limited analysis. Specific fabrication of capillary columns is required for proper implementation and optimization when working in the nanoflow regime. Coupling the capillary column to the mass spectrometer for electrospray ionization (ESI) requires reduction of the subsequent emitter tip. Reduction of column diameter to capillary scale can produce improved chromatographic efficiency and the reduction of emitter tip size increased sensitivity of the electrospray process. This improved sensitivity and ionization efficiency is valuable in analysis of precious biological samples where analytes vary in size, ion affinity, and concentration. In this review we will discuss common approaches and challenges in implementing nLC-MS methods and how the advantages can be leveraged to investigate a wide range of biomolecules.

Abstract
The fabrication of effective microchip liquid chromatography (LC) systems tends to be limited by the availability of suitable chromatographic columns. Herein, we developed a glass microchip LC system in which porous single-particle silica was adopted as frits and a freeze-thaw valve was utilized to achieve sample injection without interfering with sampling. The fabrication of single-particle-frit-based packed columns did not require an additional packing channel, thus avoiding dead volumes within the channel interface that can influence chromatographic separation. Further, the length of the packed column could be adjusted using the location of single-particle frits within the column channel. The fabricated frits exhibited high mechanical strength, good permeability, and tolerance for high pressures during chromatographic separation. In particular, the developed microchip LC system was able to withstand high separation pressures of more than 5000 psi. The microchip LC system was applied to the separation of neurotransmitters. Three different monoamine neurotransmitters were completely separated within 5 min with theoretical plate numbers on the order of 100,000 plates m-1. The microchip LC system has a potential for application in a variety of fields including environmental analysis, food safety, drug analysis, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Although capillary liquid chromatography married with tandem mass spectrometry (cLC-MS/MS) has become a powerful technique for proteomics and metabolomics research, it is still a great challenge to fabricate durable capillary-based analytical columns coupling continuous nanoflow (<1 000 nL/min) electrospray ionization (ESI) with MS, owing to the issue of clogging and fragile of emitters. Here, we proposed a simple approach to integrate microstructured photonic fibers (MPFs) into wide bore capillaries with 150 μm i.d., serving as an integral bifunctional frit or/and ESI emitter of packed columns. Two kinds of MPFs containing 126 homogeneous microchannels with different inner diameter, 3.2 μm for MPF-1 and 2.6 μm for MPF-2, were explored for preparation. The octadecylsilicate (ODS) silica-packed column using MPF-1 as a frit exhibited the lowest plate heights of 14.2-19.7 μm for five alkylbenzenes at the velocity of 1.5 mm/s, which were slightly lower than those of packed column with porous polymer monolith (PPM)-based frit by cLC coupling with ultraviolet (UV) detection. Additionally, the packed columns with integral MPF frit-emitters were further applied in analysis of a complex biological sample of digest of Hela cells by cLC-MS. An average of 7109 unique peptides could be identified in a single analysis by using MPF-1 emitter, and 7110 unique peptides were identified by using the MPF-2 emitter, which were superior to the identified result of packed column with an integral tapered tip emitter (6894 peptides). It is obvious that this novel integral MPF-based frit-emitter does not easily suffer from the issues of cracking owing to the silica cladding around independent microchannels (>100), which always encumbers both independent and integral tapered tip emitters for cLC-MS.

Abstract
Column preparation in capillary chromatography commonly relies upon the generation of on-column porous frits. Here, we report a simple, robust and low-cost approach for preparing polymer frits on-column, in a rapid and spatially controlled manner using thermal free-radical initiated polymerization. In this approach, a simple, temperature-controlled heating apparatus is positioned adjacent to a 100 μm i.d. fused-silica capillary for a defined duration. Frits were synthesized in 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate modified capillaries using a monomer solution of 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile, glycidyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and decanol. Frit length and stability were investigated as a function of polymerization time and temperature. Frit length was easily controlled via a combination of polymerization time and temperature and position was readily controlled using a simple mechanical placement jig. Thermal initiated frits were stable throughout column packing and did not require removal of the capillary polyimide coating. The thermal initiation approach offers higher throughput, with polymerization times of < 2 min compared to ≥ 30 min for UV-initiated polymerization and significantly reduces the cost, enabling broader access to on-column frit technology for a variety of capillary separation applications.

Abstract
Development of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) largely depends on column technology. The past ten years or so have seen a great number of CEC works performed on monolithic columns, due to simplicity and robustness in column fabrication. Monolithic columns eliminate the issue of column fritting, which conventionally made particle-packed capillary columns fragile and introduced nonuniformity to the chromatographic bed. The particulate packing material, however, is still a popular type of stationary phase widely used in CEC, as the rich library of HPLC packing material provides a wide range of choices for chromatographic separations performed in electrodriven mode. In this study, we investigated a purely physical fritting method, single particle fritting technology, to immobilize particulate chromatographic material inside capillary tube in a sinter-free manner to produce robust capillary columns. Single particle fritted columns present significantly improved column-to-column reproducibility (n=10) in peak efficiency, retention factor, peak area and asymmetry (%RSD=5.4, 7.7, 6.2 and 6.1, respectively, at 26 kV), enabling their practical application in high throughput parallel analysis using multiple columns.

Abstract
Since its development in the early 1970s, CEC has been studied quite extensively, but unfortunately its use is still mostly located at an academic level. Reasons for this are the limited availability of commercially available stationary phases (SPs) and columns, along with some practical limitations, such as column fragility, lack of column robustness and reproducibility. Nevertheless, CEC maintains a place among the separation techniques, probably because of its unique feature to combine two separation principles. Also in the field of chiral separations, CEC is often used as a separation technique and already showed its potential for this kind of analyses. This overview will focus on the recent applications, i.e. between 2006 and 2010, in enantioselective analysis by means of CEC. For the selected applications, the used SPs (chiral selectors) and their potential for future method development or screening purposes will be evaluated and critically discussed.

Abstract
As a novel micro-separation technique, capillary electrochromatography (CEC) has the merits of high efficiency, high selectivity, high resolution and rapid analysis. However, the small-volume injection manipulated in capillary dimensions poses a great challenge for detectors in achieving high sensitivity. Currently, one of the major researches into CEC involves the development of some sensitive detection modes. The general introduction, which includes the historical perspectives and the principles of CEC, is briefly described. The recent advances about CEC coupled with various detectors and its applications in the separation of complex samples are summarized. A total of 141 references are reviewed.
