We analyzed the chromatographic performance of particle-packed, all-polyimide high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) microchips in terms of their hydraulic permeabilities and separation efficiency under isocratic and gradient elution conditions. The separation channels of the chips (with ca 50 microm x 75 microm trapezoidal cross-section and a length of 43 mm) were slurry packed with either 3.5 or 5 microm spherical porous C18-silica particles. A custom-built holder enveloped the chip during packing to prevent channel deformation and delamination from high pressures. It is shown that the packing conditions significantly impact the packing density of the HPLC/MS chips, which determines their performance in both, isocratic and gradient elution modes. Even with steep solvent gradients, peak shape and chromatographic resolution for the densely packed HPLC/MS chips are much improved. Our data show that the analytical power of the HPLC/MS chip is limited by the quality of the chromatographic separation.

Silica-based monoliths offer higher separation efficiency per unit pressure drop compared to particle-packed columns. Their application is limited by the commercial availability of different column chemistries. Pentafluorophenyl ligands enable hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, π-π, and hydrophobic interactions, facilitating the separation of various compounds.

Article Synopsis
- Glucuronic acid (GlcA) and its methylated form (MeGlcA) are key components of hardwood xylan that can impact digestibility.
- Current methods for detecting these acids from synthetic substrates are effective, but analyzing them in natural substrates like xylan presents challenges.
- This study proposes new gradient elution protocols using HPAEC-PAD to enhance the separation and quantification of GlcA and MeGlcA in hardwood samples, demonstrating excellent reproducibility and reliable results.

The estimation of ion-exchange chromatography model parameters is crucial to enable efficient model-assisted biopharmaceutical downstream process development. Model calibration methods can be hindered by model limitations combined with parameter correlations, leading to time-consuming repeated parameter estimations. While Steric Mass Action isotherm estimation methods exist, there is a need for a systematic approach to estimate model parameters for an emerging Colloidal Particle Adsorption (CPA) model proposed by Briskot et al.

We performed multiscale simulations of analyte sorption and diffusion in hierarchical porosity models of monolithic silica columns for reversed-phase liquid chromatography to investigate how the mean mesopore size of the chromatographic bed and the analyte-specific interaction with the chromatographic interface influence the analyte diffusivity at various length scales. The reproduced experimental conditions comprised the retention of six analyte compounds of low to moderate solute polarity on a silica-based, endcapped, C stationary phase with water‒acetonitrile and water-methanol mobile phases whose elution strength was varied via the volumetric solvent ratio. Detailed information about the analyte-specific interfacial dynamics received from molecular dynamics simulations was incorporated through appropriate linker schemes into Brownian dynamics diffusion simulations in three hierarchical porosity models received from physical reconstructions of silica monoliths with a mean macropore size of 1.
