Microfluidic and Capillary Electrophoresis Applications

A comprehensive orthogonal two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) based on the modification of mobile phases was developed with a sample loop–valve interface. To improve the compatibility of mobile phases and analysis speed, some special solvents were chosen as the mobile phases, and the column temperature was elevated to decrease the viscosity of mobile phases of reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Based on this principle, the first dimension was normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) with a SiO2 column, and the second dimension was reversed-phase liquid chromatography containing two tandem C18 columns. 1,4-Dioxane was used in the NPLC mobile phase, and isopropyl alcohol was employed in the RPLC mobile phase. Moreover, the elevated column temperature enabled the reduction of the backpressure and using tandem C18 columns to improve the resolving power in RPLC. The new comprehensive 2D-LC system and applied strategy offered a novel idea for construction of 2D-LC system. A traditional Chinese medicine, Zhengtian pill, was used as the test sample to evaluate the constructed 2D-LC system. 876 peaks were detected, and the peak capacity reached 1740.
