Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC), a liquid-liquid preparative chromatography using two immiscible solvent systems, benefits from numerous advantages for the separation or purification of synthetic or natural products. This study presents the on-line hyphenation of CPC-Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (CPC-ELSD) with High Performance Liquid Chromatography-UV (HPLC-UV) for the fractionation of flavonols from a solvent-free microwave extract of sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L., Elaeagnaceae) berries. An Arizona G system was used for the fractionation of flavonoids by CPC and a fused core Halo C18 column allowed the on-line analyses of collected fractions by HPLC. The on-line CPC/HPLC procedure allowed the simultaneous fractionation step at preparative scale combined with the HPLC analyses which provide direct fingerprint of collected fractions. Thus the crude extract was simplified and immediate information on the composition of fractions could be obtained. Furthermore, this methodology reduced the time of post-fractionation steps and facilitated identification of main molecules by Mass Spectrometry (MS). Rutin, isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin-rhamnoside, quercetin and isorhamnetin were identified. CPC-ELSD/HPLC-UV could be considered as a high-throughput technique for the guided fractionation of bioactive natural products from complex crude extracts.

Caffeine is present in a large number of beverages and is an additive used in dietary supplements. Therefore, the concern about its quality and safety for consumers has been increasing and hence requires faster and simpler analytical methods to determine the caffeine amount. The high-throughput analysis is an appropriate solution to pharmaceuticals, bioanalysis, forensic and food laboratory routines.

Quantification of proteins is still predominantly done by the traditional bottom-up approach. Targeting of intact proteins in complex biological matrices is connected with multiple challenges during the sample pretreatment, separation, and detection step of the analytical workflow. In this work, we focused on the development of an on-line hyphenated capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method employing off-line microscale solid-phase extraction based on hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) sorbent as a sample pretreatment step for the analysis of low molecular mass intact proteins (<20 kDa) spiked in various biological fluids (human serum, plasma, urine, and saliva).

Article Synopsis
- A new method was created to accurately measure the most stable form of Technetium ([Tc]Tc) using anion-exchange chromatography combined with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for better detection.
- Because there are no commercial standards for Technetium, researchers used an innovative approach called isobaric dilution analysis (IBDA) to quantify it by utilizing a Ruthenium spike for comparison.
- The method was successfully demonstrated by quantifying [Tc]Tc in the raw urine of a patient who had undergone a scan with a Technetium tracer, revealing a concentration of 19.6 ± 0.5 ng L and showcasing the method's potential for analyzing Tc-based radiopharmaceuticals

Monitoring a synthesis reaction in real time could allow not only the detection of the intermediates involved in the synthesis, to better understand its mechanisms, but also the impurities. Spectroscopic methods could be performed but are not so performant when analyzing complex mixtures and could require specific properties for the detection of the molecules of interest, the presence of a chromophore moiety for example. Mass spectrometry (MS) may overcome these limitations and is able to reach the accuracy and sensitivity required to efficiently detect, quantify, identify, and characterize the reagents and species produced during the synthesis.

Indoxyl sulfate (INDS) and p-cresol sulfate (pCS) are two of the most relevant uremic toxins that are recognized to have an essential role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and associated cardiovascular risk. Thus, it is crucial to accurately assess their circulating levels in the body. Aiming at establishing an analytical strategy for quantification of INDS and pCS in human plasma, an automatic on-line micro-solid-phase extraction (μSPE) procedure hyphenated to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detection without previous chromatographic separation was herein developed.
