The feasibility of using a monolithic column as the analytical column in conjunction with high-flow direct-injection liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to increase productivity for quantitative bioanalysis has been investigated using plasma samples containing a drug and its epimer metabolite. Since the chosen drug and its epimer metabolite have the same selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transitions, chromatographic baseline separation of these two compounds was required. The results obtained from this monolithic column system were directly compared with the results obtained from a previously validated assay using a conventional C18 column as the analytical column. Both systems have the same sample preparation, mobile phases and MS conditions. The eluting flow rate for the monolithic column system was 3.2 mL/min (with 4:1 splitting) and for the C18 column system was 1.2 mL/min (with 3:1 splitting). The monolithic column system had a run time of 5 min and the conventional C18 column system had a run time of 10 min. The methods on the two systems were found to be equivalent in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity and chromatographic separation. Without sacrificing the chromatographic separation, sensitivity, accuracy and precision of the method, the reduced run time of the monolithic column method increased the sample throughput by a factor of two.

s: This study aimed to prepare a new separation medium, silane coupling agent KH570- modified halloysite nanotube (MPS-HNT) monolithic column, with excellent separation performance for small molecular compounds and macromolecular proteins. This was prepared using the principle of redox polymerization with modified HNTs as monomers. The optimal monomer proportion was obtained by optimizing the ratio of monomer, cross-linker, and pore-forming agent, which was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and mercury intrusion.

A new composite material with enhanced sorption-selective properties for uranium recovery from liquid media has been obtained. Sorbents were synthesized through a polycondensation reaction of a mixture of 4-amino-N'-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide (hereinafter referred to as amidoxime) and SiO in an environment of organic solvents (acetic acid, dioxane) and highly porous SiO. To establish optimal conditions for forming the polymer sorption-active part and the synthesis as a whole, a series of composite adsorbents were synthesized with varying amidoxime/matrix ratios (35/65, 50/50, 65/35).

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a fast and simple sample preparation technique that enables the enrichment of analytes, and it is used in combination with other detection techniques to provide accurate and sensitive analytical methods. SPME is widely used in environmental monitoring, food safety, life analysis, biomedicine, and other applications. The extractive coating is the core of the SPME technique, and the properties of the extractive coating greatly influence extraction selectivity and efficiency, as well as the enrichment effect.

Understanding the interactions between lipid membranes and nucleotide drugs is crucial for nucleic acid therapy. Although several methods have been employed to evaluate nucleotide-lipid membrane interactions, these interactions can be complex; this complexity arises from how external factors, such as ionic strength or temperature, influence the lipid membrane's overall properties. In this study, we prepared a lipid membrane-immobilized monolithic silica (LMiMS) column for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to understand interactions between the lipid membrane and nucleic acid.

Due to the distinct difference in chemical properties, analysis of organic pollutants and heavy metals generally employs different sample preparation and measurement techniques, resulting in low analytical efficiency and high cost. To this end, a strategy for the co-extraction and then simultaneous quantification of organic pollutants and heavy metals was proposed by the on-line hyphenation of magnetic field-assisted in-tube solid phase microextraction (MA/IT-SPME) and HPLC technique. Simultaneous analysis of triazoles and chromium species were adopted as paradigm to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
