The successful off-line coupling of asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for separation of nanoparticles (NPs) with different surface coatings was shown. We could successfully demonstrate that, in a certain NP size range, hyphenation of both techniques significantly improved the separation of differently coated NPs. Three mixtures of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with comparable core sizes but different coatings (no coating/carboxyl-coated) were studied. Separation in either method resulted in non-baseline resolved or non-separated peaks. In contrast, two-dimensional off-line coupling of AF4 and CE resulted in clearly separated regions in their 2 D plots in case of 20 and 50 nm particle mixtures, whereas the 100 nm NP mixture could not be separated at all. Various factors affecting the separation like hydrodynamic diameter or SDS concentration were discussed.

We developed a new method for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic (δC and δN) analysis of underivatized amino acid (AA) enantiomers simultaneously, based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and off-line isotopic measurement. l- and d-Enantiomers of each AA were isolated using a ReproSil Chiral-AA column, purified by wet chemical procedure, and analyzed for δC and δN values with a nanomol-scale elemental analyzer/isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (nano-EA/IRMS) system. We successfully achieved the separation of l- and d-enantiomers of 15 proteinogenous AAs, with all l-enantiomers eluting before respective d-enantiomers.

Article Synopsis
- * The study successfully enriched HBPs from plasma samples of AD patients and controls, identifying 2865 proteins and observing correlations between specific plasma proteins and AD brain biomarkers, revealing complex relationships between blood and brain changes.
- * Key plasma proteins that showed elevated levels in AD, including SMOC1 and APOE4, could effectively distinguish AD from controls, with a 0.85 accuracy, and when combined with plasma pTau181, enhanced diagnostic capability.
High Performance Liquid chromatography - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Coupling: A Comprehensive Review.
Crit Rev Anal Chem

Faculty of Natural Science, Department of Analytical Chemistry, Comenius University in Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovak Republic.
This review presents a critical examination of the interface for coupling high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) since 2010. This coupling offers a robust analytical approach characterized by exceptional chemical specificity and the capacity to analyze complex multi-component mixtures qualitatively and quantitatively with high sensitivity, particularly in low limit of detection ranges. This coupling enables the identification of individual components of a mixture by IR after their separation by HPLC, although challenges arise from the potential distortion of infrared spectra by mobile phase components.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) has gained an essential role in environmental analytical chemistry. Classic off-line SPE coupled with LC-MS/MS systems creates powerful analytical procedures for ultratrace analysis of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water. But, being associated with tedious work and large consumption of materials, alternative SPE modes are becoming interesting.
