Recent advances in microflow ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) systems offer higher sensitivity with robustness to meet the routine bioanalytical demands. Modern high-resolution mass spectrometers (HRMS) enable the development of highly selective methods with broad dynamic range. The quantitative performances of tandem quadrupole MS and HRMS were comprehensively compared using seven intact peptide hormones up to 9.4 kDa. Results show comparable performance between two platforms in sensitivity, accuracy and linearity. For some peptides, HRMS provided lower background interference. The benefit of increased sensitivity using microflow UPLC was also demonstrated. HRMS is a versatile platform capable of both basic characterization and reliable quantitation in complex matrices. Microflow UPLC provides lower LLOQs than conventional flow systems, even with less sample volume injected.

Olean is the chiral spiroacetal sex pheromone of the female olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that the (R)-(-)-olean enantiomer is active on males, whereas females respond to (S)-(+)-olean. Here we present the first HPLC enantioseparation of olean using polysaccharide derivatives as chiral stationary phases and a polarimetric detector equipped with a micro-flow cell capable of detecting optical rotation at six different wavelengths.

Introduction And Objectives: The application of untargeted metabolomics assays using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) to study metabolism in biological systems including humans is rapidly increasing. In some of these studies there is a requirement to collect and analyse low sample volumes of biofluids (e.g.

The last few years have seen a rise in the identification and development of bio-therapeutics through the use of cutting-edge delivery methods or bio-formulations, which has created bio-analytical difficulties. Every year, new bio-pharmaceutical product innovations come out, but the analytical development of these products is challenging. Quantifying the products and components of conjugated molecular structures is essential for preclinical and clinical research in order to guide therapeutic development, given their intrinsic complexity.

High-throughput tissue proteomics has great potential in the advancement of precision medicine. Here, we investigated the combined sensitivity of trap-elute microflow liquid chromatography with a ZenoTOF for DIA proteomics and phosphoproteomics. Method optimization was conducted on HEK293T cell lines to determine the optimal variable window size, MS2 accumulation time and gradient length.

Autonomous process optimization (APO) is a technology that has recently found utility in a multitude of process optimization challenges. In contrast to most APO examples in microflow reactor systems, we recently presented a system capable of optimization in high-throughput batch reactor systems. The drawback of APO in a high-throughput batch reactor system is the reliance on reaction sampling at a predetermined static timepoint rather than a dynamic endpoint.
