Doping control analysis predominantly utilises chromatography and mass spectrometry-based approaches to detect prohibited substances and methods of doping. The majority of the employed tools provides low resolving power. A selection of compounds, new challenges, and methods currently employed in doping control laboratories will be presented to the audience including, for example: new anabolic agents referred to as selective androgen receptor modulators SARMs ; insulins; so-called "releasing peptides" that stimulate the endogenous production of natural hormones; and ways of manipulating drug tests.

Watch now. Sample preparation is the most important, yet often most neglected area of chromatographic training and method development.

The world's finest gas and liquid chromatographs generally cannot overcome mistakes made prior to sample injection. Discussion will directed toward seeing the commonalities among all extraction techniques and toward choosing the best technique for a given analytical problem. Fundamentals of sample and glassware handling will also be reviewed. This webinar is directed toward analysts who use these techniques hands-on every day and to the laboratory managers who must teach, train and supervise them. This webinar will consist of 2 parts: 1. Answers to your questions asked in Professor Schoenmakers' Introduction to Liquid Chromatography webinar.

Chromedia, for a limited time only, will provide Dr Lee Polite's video tutorial Resolution in LC available completely for free! Professor Peter Schoenmakers. Often portrayed more as magic than science, popular television series such as CSI have aroused great interest in analytical chemistry. Forensic science relies on separation science. Peter Schoenmakers' webinar will also, in a light-hearted manner, put LC methods into the correct perspective for forensic science. Many experts will be involved, from university and industry.

We believe all chromatographers should actively take part in this: in teaching, telling their employees and students to take courses.

It has been shown that it is possible to substitute the empty loops of the modulation interface with trap columns. It allows reduction of the 2 D injection volume and manipulation of the solvent e. For this column combination, researchers have been designing modulation interfaces that allow for solvent exchange or enable a significant reduction of the volume injected. Each combination potentially benefits or suffers from various factors. We emphasize that the symbols should be interpreted as our advice to consider for a specific combination.

We do not want to discourage the pursuit of seemingly unfavorable combinations. In fact, the references provided for a number of combinations showcase how smart method development can alleviate many of the pitfalls. In the following sections, the feasibility of each combination of generic retention mechanisms plus a selection of interesting mechanisms is discussed. Where applicable, we refer the reader to useful applications and reviews which offer a great deal additional information Applications in life sciences 64 , 65 , food 66 - 69 , polymers 70 - 72 , and traditional Chinese medicine 73 are covered by recent reviews.

In RPLC, separation is achieved based on differences in hydrophobicity of the analytes. Specific structural features of analyte molecules may be targeted when using packing materials with additional functional groups e. Elevated temperatures can be used to further improve the separation performances 75 , Furthermore, partial equilibration using conditioning volumes down to a single column volume has been shown to provide reliable, repeatable separations in gradient elution Gradient elution is predominately used for RPLC separations to accommodate a broad range of analytes.

A particularly attractive property that explains the use of RPLC 2 D separations is their general compatibility with MS, provided that no ion pair is used. One potential challenge is the compatibility with the 1 D mobile phase. RPLC separations can also be employed in the 1 D if the opposite combination is not compatible.

Event Information

The seemingly endless number of RPLC selectivities have prompted researchers to develop tools to aid in characterizing and selecting appropriate options. The hydrophobic subtraction model allows improved understanding of the polar interactions by removing the hydrophobic contribution to the retention 89 , Despite the large array of options to manipulate RPLC selectivity in both dimensions, a degree of correlation is intrinsically unavoidable.

There is a broad choice of solvents, with the least polar eluent being most retentive. The polar solvent component is preferentially adsorbed on the column. In the extreme case in which the polar component is water in very low concentrations typically in acetonitrile an aqueous solvation layer is formed on the polar stationary phase we speak of HILIC.

Active modulation techniques e. Efforts to improve compatibility thus focus on the removal or replacing of the strong solvent fraction of the 1 D effluent. An example is the evaporation approach , which was recently applied for the analysis of toad skin In essence, the separation is based on differences in the extent and location s of unsaturation and its main application is to the analysis of lipids. A variety of stationary phase sorbents can be used to tailor the HILIC retention mechanism to the sample by improving specific retention for specific analytes.

For example, the use of zwitterionic moieties in HILIC packings give rise to additional ionic interactions, creating a contribution of analyte charge to retention, as in IEC. The latest development in this research area have recently been reviewed , Examples include separations of cocoa procyanidins , anthocyanins in red wine , phosphatidylcholine isomers , and surfactants While there was still room for improvement in terms of chromatographic efficiency, mainly in the 2 D, the authors did demonstrate the potential of the system in terms of orthogonality.

For separation purely on charge properties, several modes of IEC exist, depending on the stationary and mobile phases. In strong IEX, a permanently charged sorbent e. IEX combined with RP is a common approach for the analysis of biomolecules, such as proteins. If the charge of the analyte is its main sample dimension targeted by the 1 D separation, then it should preferentially not affect the 2 D separation. In IEX the key separation dimension is the number of charged moieties of the analytes.

In SEC, separation is based on the molecular size of the analyte molecules in solution. Large molecules are excluded from the pores and will travel faster through the chromatographic column in comparison with molecules that can partially permeate the pores.

In the case of charged polymers, buffers are added to inhibit electrostatic interactions. Large analytes that are excluded of the pores may be separated based on wall exclusion, through hydrodynamic chromatography HDC In LCCC, the mobile phase is chosen such that retention is independent of the molecular weight of the analyte polymers.

From a classical perspective, SEC benefits from large columns with large pore volumes and thus is easier to use in the 1 D in terms of achieving the highest possible resolution However, depending on the 2 D separation mechanism, breakthrough and other solvent incompatibility effects may occur.

On the other hand, 2 D SEC potentially suffers from limited resolution. More recently, the use of core—shell particles in 2 D SEC to improve resolution was demonstrated and this was later confirmed SEC is an intrinsically isocratic separation. In fact, overlapping injections allow cycle times much shorter than the 2 D analysis time Nevertheless, SEC has also been applied as 1 D separation. The dissolution of the particles by addition of tetrahydrofuran THF created good orthogonality i.

HIC finds its sole application in the separation of proteins. High salt concentrations e. Using a gradient toward lower salt concentrations, elution of the proteins is facilitated.

What is Chromatography?

The retention increases for buffers with higher molal surface tensions One critical advantage relative to RPLC is that the mobile phase used in HIC typically contains limited amount or no of organic modifiers, conditions that may leave the native structure of the proteins. However, HIC is not suitable as a 2 D technique since it requires to slow salt gradients.

Many bioactive compounds e. Other elements of chirality have been described e.

This class of selectors, which includes several different subtypes, does not cover all the applications. Therefore, chiral molecules are typically screened against different combinations of selectors and mobile phases to find the best candidate for a given molecule. Chiral separations are typically carried out under isocratic conditions, using mobile phases that depend on the type of selector and, thus, on the chemical groups available for interacting with the analyte and on the nature of the sample.

However, the application of ultrafast chiral separations may lead to interesting developments in the analysis of structurally related compound classes e. The term affinity chromatography AfC has been used in literature to cover different types of studies in which chromatographic selectors have a very specific chemical interaction with sample components with one or a combination of specific molecular features.

Typically, proteins are used as immobilized binding agents, because of the specificity of interaction with certain molecules. Examples are antibodies, recognizing specific peptide sequences, but also receptors or other proteins present in biological systems e. AfC studies may target either only the part of the sample that has interaction with a given target or aim to study the strength of interaction between immobilized binding agent and sample components The first approach typically yields just two bonded and unbonded fractions. Since this type of separation uses mostly immobilized proteins, it is typically performed under conditions that minimize degradation of the ligand and that can be representative of physiological conditions e.

The system presented good orthogonality and allowed the identification of six compounds with different degrees of interaction with HSA. Although AfC is typically slow and, therefore, has been used as first separation dimension, the progress in speed of analysis brought by monolithic AfC may also allow future application of AfC as 2 D separation.

Strictly speaking, when using modifiers subcritical conditions may prevail. One area in which SFC has been quite successful concerns chiral separations , Because SFC allows fast separations, it is potentially most attractive as 2 D technique. Having established a basic 2D separation through successful development and combination of the individual 1D separations, the analyst faces the decision whether to accept the result or to continue method development through what is typically referred to as optimization. The term optimization is, however, rather vague. It has been widely used to describe different procedures.

To judge whether optimization is necessary, a brief discussion regarding the definition and necessity of optimization is useful. In computer science, optimization often signifies rewriting a program so as to maximize its efficiency and speed. Enhancing the peak capacity of a method purely for the sake of peak capacity implies maximization rather than optimization.

Improving the quality descriptors generally does improve the quality of the separation and, thus, the odds of successfully answering the analytical question, but it is not the most efficient approach for all samples. The definition of optimization as used in mathematics implies establishing conditions that correspond to the maximum or minimum value of a specific, restricted function. Restrictions reflect decisions made at an earlier stage in the method development process e.
