Article Abstract

Monolithic columns of 2.7 mm I.D. have been prepared and used in electrochromatography (EC) separation. Although capillary electrochromatography (CEC) has higher separation efficiency, it displays some shortcomings, such as limited sample loadability and restricted concentration detectability etc. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of EC separation with millimeter diameter monolithic columns. By using a designed preparation method of monolithic column packed with about 150 microm quartz sand, the effect of Joule heating can be reduced, and the processes of frit making and column packing can be avoided. The concentration detectability of the EC is improved comparing with that of CEC. Moreover, the separation efficiency of 52,000 plates/m was achieved with a 70 mm length and 2.7 mm I.D. monolithic column.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals that contaminate global drinking water resources. Their ubiquity and potential impact on human health motivate large-scale remediation. Conventional materials used to remove PFASs during drinking water production are functionally inefficient or energetically expensive, motivating the discovery of new materials and technologies.

Developing on-line hyphenated technique for the sensitive and accurate monitoring of heavy metal ions (HMs) is significant and interesting. In this connection, magnetic field-enhanced in-tube solid phase microextraction technique (ME/IT-SPME) was on-line hyphenated with HPLC system for the simultaneously quantitative analysis of Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in various environmental samples. To enhance the ultraviolet sensitivity, the studied HMs were reacted with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (DDTC) to form HMs/DDTC complexes.

Driven by the need for smaller and more efficient continuous chromatographic systems, this study explores the feasibility of miniaturizing multi-column chromatography by integrating monolithic capillary columns directly into a 3D-printed valve rotor. First, monolith capillary ion-exchange columns were synthesized in PEEK capillaries with a diameter of 0.75 mm and a 3D-printed rotor system that can hold these capillary columns was developed.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as the most advanced drug delivery system for gene therapies and vaccines due to their ability to encapsulate a diverse range of payloads, including nucleic acids and proteins. LNPs provide many benefits, such as protection of payloads from enzymatic degradation, enhanced cellular uptake, and controlled release, making them promising candidates for therapeutic applications. The complex composition and inherent instabilities of LNPs present significant challenges for their characterization, especially in determining encapsulation efficiency, payload integrity, and size distribution.
