In this paper, the development and application of a multiple heart-cutting achiral-chiral LC-LC method (mLC-LC) for the analysis of dansylated (Dns) branched-chain amino acids in commercial tablets are described. In the first dimension, a Waters Xbridge RP C18 achiral column was used under gradient conditions with buffered aqueous solution and acetonitrile. The elution order Dns-valine (Dns-Val) < Dns-isoleucine (Dns-Ile) < Dns-leucine (Dns-Leu) turned out with full resolution between adjacent peaks: 7.25 and 1.50 for the Val/Ile and the Ile/Leu pairs, respectively. A "research" validation study was performed, revealing high accuracy (Recovery%) and precision (RSD%) using two external set solutions, respectively, in the range 93.7%-104.1% and 0.4%-3.2%. The C18 column was connected via a two-position six-port switching valve to the quinidine-based Chiralpak quinidine-anion-exchange chiral column. A water/acetonitrile, 30/70 (v/v) with 50 mM ammonium acetate (apparent pH of 5.5) eluent allowed getting the three enantiomers' pairs resolved: R equal to 4.3 for Dns-Val and Dns-Ile, and 1.7 for Dns-Leu. The application of the mLC-LC method confirmed that the content of Val, Ile, and Leu in the tablets was compliant with that labeled by the producer. Only l-enantiomers were found in the food supplement, as confirmed by LC-MS/MS analysis.

Several oxylipins are regulators of inflammation. They are formed by enzymes such as lipoxygenases or cyclooxygenases, but also stereorandomly by autoxidation. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods for oxylipin quantification do not separate enantiomers.

The automated elucidation of the interplay between monoclonal antibody (mAb) structure and function using two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS) is reported. Charge variants, induced through forced degradation, are resolved by first-dimension (D) cation-exchange chromatography (CEX) and subsequently collected in loops installed on a multiple heart-cutting valve prior to transfer to second-dimension (D) neonatal crystallizable fragment receptor (FcRn) affinity chromatography coupled with MS. As such, binding affinity of the latter mAb variants can elegantly be assessed and a first glimpse of identity provided.

Sterols and triterpenic alcohol analyses are one of the officially established parameters for assessing the authenticity of virgin olive oil (VOO). Most of the applications described for sterol analysis, including the official method, only allow the determination of the total sterol content but not its distribution in free or esterified form. This work proposes a two-dimensional liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (2D-LC-HRMS) method for the simultaneous analysis of triterpenic alcohols, free sterols and steryl esters.

Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a simplified two-dimensional supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system designed for enhanced peak transfer in various modes, utilizing diode-array and mass spectrometric detection.
- The system features a single SFC instrument augmented with three external valves, enabling precise peak parking and transfer between dimensions, regardless of mobile phase composition.
- The effectiveness of the system is validated through the analysis of flavonoids in a natural product extract, showcasing excellent repeatability and high transfer rates between dimensions, which allows for accurate quantification of diastereomers.

Oxylipins are important low abundant signaling molecules in living organisms. In platelets they play a primary role in platelet activation and aggregation in the course of thrombotic events. In vivo, they are enzymatically synthesized by cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, or cytochrome P450 isoenzmes, resulting in diverse polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) metabolites including hydroxy-, epoxy-, oxo-FAs, and endoperoxides with pro-thrombotic or anti-thrombotic effects.
