Natural polysaccharides are important active biomolecules. However, the analysis and structural characterization of polysaccharides are challenging tasks that often require multiple techniques and maps to reflect their structural features. This study aimed to propose a new heart-cutting two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) method for separating and analyzing polysaccharides to explore the multidimensional information of polysaccharide structure in a single map. That is, the first-dimension liquid chromatography (D-LC) presents molecular-weight information, and the second-dimension liquid chromatography (D-LC) shows the fingerprints of polysaccharides. In this 2D-LC system, the size-exclusion chromatography-hydrophilic interaction chromatography (SEC-HILIC) model was established. Coupling with a charged aerosol detector (CAD) eliminated the need for the derivatization of the polysaccharide sample, allowing the whole process to be completed within 80 min. The methods were all validated in terms of precision, linearity, stability, and repeatability. The capability of the new 2D-LC method was demonstrated in determining various species of natural polysaccharides. Our experimental data demonstrated the feasibility of the whole systematic approach, opening the door for further applications in the field of natural polysaccharide analysis.

Background: Tissue metabolomics analysis, alongside genomics and proteomics, offers crucial insights into the regulatory mechanisms of tumorigenesis. To enhance metabolite detection sensitivity, chemical isotope labeling (CIL) techniques, such as dansylation, have been developed to improve metabolite separation and ionization in mass spectrometry (MS). However, the dissolution of hydrophobic derivatized metabolites in solvents with high acetonitrile content limits the use of liquid chromatography (LC) systems with small-volume reversed-phase (RP) columns.

The review focuses on the design of detection cells, the use of microcontrollers for processing and evaluation of the detection signal, and the development of multi-detection systems for electromigration, liquid chromatography, flow-through and microfluidic techniques. A separate section is the introduction of modern 3D printing techniques and the use of new printing materials for the design of multidetection systems. In addition to traditional utilisation in separation techniques, new versions of contactless conductivity detectors are finding applications in FIA, SIA, portable and paper based analytical systems or as independent sensors.
