The regeneration of ion-pairing reagent distribution on liquid chromatography columns after gradient elution has been well recognized as the cause for long column equilibration time, a major drawback associated with gradient elution reverse phase ion-pair chromatography. To date, the majority of studies have focused on optimizing the separation conditions to shorten the equilibration time. There is limited understanding of the ion-pairing reagent distribution process between the mobile phase and stationary phase in the course of gradient elution, and subsequent column re-equilibration. The focus of this work is to gain a better understanding of this process. An ion-pair chromatographic system, equipped with a YMC ODS C(18) column and a mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium (TBA) hydroxide as the ion-pairing reagent, was used in the study. The TBA distribution profile was established by measuring its concentration in the eluent fractions collected during the gradient cycle using different column equilibration times with an ion chromatographic method. Furthermore, the analyte retention time was evaluated as the function of the column equilibration time and TBA concentration in the mobile phase. The column equilibration and its impact on the method robustness will also be discussed.

Background: Microcystins (MCs) and nodularins (NODs) produced by cyanobacteria occur in ambient freshwaters and across the freshwater-marine continuum, and pose health threats through drinking and recreational waters, as well as food resources. Approximately 300 MC and NOD toxins have been published, but less than 15 of them are commercially available as toxin standards. Our aim herein was to rapidly identify and quantify all toxin congeners, including those without standards, in water samples even at low abundance by reversed-phase solid phase extraction (SPE)-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to provide insights into toxin levels and potential toxicity.

Trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) play a crucial role in many biochemical processes within diverse organisms including animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. Studies have linked these metabolites with cardiovascular and kidney diseases; however, emerging evidence demonstrates their protective properties. Owing to these controversies and co-existence of these metabolites in biological samples, it is crucial to accurately quantify these metabolites to associate their concentrations with various physiological and pathophysiological conditions to elucidate their potential roles.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are negatively charged polysaccharides found on cell surfaces, where they regulate transport pathways of foreign molecules toward the cell. The structural and functional diversity of GAGs is largely attributed to varied sulfation patterns along the polymer chains, which makes understanding their molecular recognition mechanisms crucial. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, thanks to their unmatched microscopic resolution, have the potential to be a reference tool for exploring the patterns responsible for biologically relevant interactions.
