In order to reduce the analysis time and maintain good efficiency in liquid chromatography, it is advisable to simultaneously decrease the column length and the particle size of the chromatographic support. Therefore, several manufacturers have developed and commercialized short columns filled with particles that have a diameter smaller than 2 microm. The focus of this work was to check the chromatographic performance of such columns and compare possibilities offered by sub-2 microm supports with conventional columns in terms of analysis time reduction and efficiency improvements. For this purpose, different parameters were discussed namely: separation impedance (E), Knox curves (h,v), and number of plates by time unit (N/t0). Kinetic plots were also drawn. It appeared that sub-2 microm supports were well adapted to improve chromatographic performance and to reduce the analysis time. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that the best chromatographic performances were reached with high pressure systems (up to 1000 bar).

Ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems operating at very high pressures and using sub-2 microm packing columns have allowed a remarkable decrease in analysis time and increase in peak capacity, sensitivity, and reproducibility compared to conventional HPLC. This technology has rapidly been widely accepted by the analytical community and is being gradually applied to various fields of plant analysis such as QC, profiling and fingerprinting, dereplication, and metabolomics. For many applications, an important improvement of the overall performances has been reported.

Fused-core superficially porous particles have recently created considerable interest for high-performance liquid chromatography separations because of their unusual high column efficiency and much lower back pressure when compared to sub-2-microm particles. With superficially porous particles, larger solutes can move rapidly in and out of a thin porous shell, resulting in reduced band broadening at higher mobile phase velocities for greater separation speeds. The original silica fused-core particles were 2.

The objective of this study was to evaluate various chromatographic approaches for peptide analysis. Initially, the ultra-HPLC (UHPLC) strategy, which consists of using columns packed with sub-2 microm particles at a maximal pressure of 1000 bar, was tested. To limit the backpressure generated by small particles, columns packed with superficially porous sub-3 microm particles (fused-core technology) that should theoretically improve mass transfer, particularly beneficial for large biomolecules, were investigated.

Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) is a method of liquid chromatography utilizing sub-2-microm particles packed into capillary columns 25 to 100 cm long. Columns of this length packed with particles this fine require operation with pressures from 1,000 to 7,000 bar (15,000 to 100,000 psi). The advantages of this technique are high separation powers (theoretical plate counts from 100,000 to 300,000) and run times from a few minutes (isocratic) to a few hours (long gradients).
