We describe for the first time the direct quantitative analysis of human C-peptide from urine by isotope dilution assay. Implementation of 2-D reverse phase-reverse phase chromatography (2-D RP-RP) with SIM detection resulted in high assay sensitivity (LOQ= 5 pg on column), accuracy, and method ruggedness. Our experiments demonstrate the strong resolving capability of our proposed 2-D RP-RP platform which significantly reduces strong matrix effects and their resulting quantitation error over a wide range of urine concentrations. In contrast, single column methods (both SIM and multiple reaction monitoring) were found acceptable only for strongly diluted urine samples.

Chinese medicine formulas represent an excellent illustration for "complex matrix". The complexity lies in a big array of small molecules with high chemical diversity. The present paper describes a novel chemical profiling solution for complex matrix by combining comprehensive and multiple heart-cutting two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2DLC/qTOF-MS).

Quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with affinity purification approaches allows for an unbiased study of protein-protein and peptide-protein interactions. In shotgun approaches that are based on proteolytic digestion of complex protein mixtures followed by two-dimensional liquid-phase chromatography, the separation effort prior to MS analysis is focused on tryptic peptides. Here we developed an improved offline 2-D liquid chromatography-MS/MS approach for the identification and quantification of binding proteins utilizing reversed-phase capillary columns with acidic acetonitrile-containing eluents in both chromatographic dimensions.

Herein, we describe the development of a fully automatable technology that features online coupling of high-pH RP separation with conventional low-pH RP separation in a two-dimensional capillary liquid chromatography (2-D LC) system for shotgun proteomics analyses. The complete analysis comprises 13 separation cycles, each involving transfer of the eluate from the first-dimension, high-pH RP separation onto the second RP dimension for further separation. The solvent strength increases across the 13 fractions (cycles) to elute all peptides for further resolution on the second-dimension, low-pH RP separation, each under identical gradient-elution conditions.
