As chromatography technologies change, our approaches to using them in ways that value reliability, as well as the ways we should approach troubleshooting and fixing problems, should also change. In this installment, I continue the discussion started last month about how some specific troubleshooting topics have evolved over time, this time focusing on mobile phase degassing. Understanding how approaches to degassing have evolved is helpful for troubleshooting problems with pumps and detection, designing reliability into new methods, and when considering updates to legacy methods that have been in use for decades.

This installment of “Sample Prep Perspectives” reports the results obtained from a new survey on sample preparation techniques. This is our first survey since 2016 and its findings are compared with the results of previous surveys dating from 1991. Results involve undercover trends in the field over the last generation and their impact. The survey investigated trends in areas such as which technologies are currently being used, sample loads, sample sizes, automation, the use of solid-phase extraction (SPE) devices (cartridges, disks, plates, tips), SPE chemistries, selection criteria, and problems encountered. Respondents were also asked about sample preparation technologies on the horizon.

Complex multispecific antibodies overcome the limitations of standard monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and have complex three-dimensional structures, greater heterogeneity, and often novel disulfide linkages and unusual post-translational modifications. As a result, the comprehensive characterization essential to the development of cost-effective manufacturing processes and safe and efficacious cancer treatments is much more challenging using traditional analytical instruments and techniques. Fortunately, there are new solutions available that provide fast results, often with greater sensitivity and resolution, even for these novel, complex molecules. The application of various new methods and instruments for the analysis of multispecifics is discussed as a means of highlighting their ability to facilitate the development of these important new modalities.

In the past two decades, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has progressed from an interesting concept to the forefront of thinking and research in gas chromatography. Especially when combined with mass spectrometry detection, GC×GC provides high resolution, high sensitivity, and massive chromatographic data sets, which is useful in diverse fields such as petroleum analysis, metabolomics, food, flavor, fragrance, and environmental analysis. In this installment, recent developments in GC×GC that make it more amenable for routine use are discussed. These include advances in instrumentation, especially modulation, column sets, data analysis, and the range and types of samples amenable to GC×GC. We will ponder the question – are you ready to make the switch to GC×GC?

The authors evaluated a sampling and analytical system to measure differing modes of atmospheric per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) transmission. The sampling was conducted with the FM4 sampling module, which features particulate collection followed by polyurethane foam sorption followed by activated carbon disc adsorption, a configuration designed to capture PFAS-laden particulate matter (one-micron to ten-microns), as well as aerosol, volatile, and ionic PFAS species in a single sampling event. Individual sampling media fractions were subsequently analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for 33 ionic and 20 neutral PFAS species. A multi-day field sampling event conducted in an outdoor urban environment demonstrated that the system was able to capture and differentiate a number of airborne PFAS species. The study showed that simultaneous, multi-phase sample collection coupled with GC–MS/MS and LC–MS/MS analysis can be a useful approach to further elucidate the mode and manner of atmospheric PFAS transmission.

Phytotoxins, secondary metabolites synthesized by plants, are now recognized as a new category of environmental micropollutants. Only a limited number of phytotoxins have been detected and reported in terrestrial and aquatic environments, partially due to analytical challenges. In this article, a robust, reliable, and efficient approach, namely Source Supported Suspect Screening (4S), is introduced for high-throughput analysis of phytotoxins from their plant origin to the downstream environmental compartments. The approach was established on an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–quadrupole‑time‑of‑flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC–ESI–QTOF-MS) analytical platform where optimal sample preparation and chromatographic conditions were investigated and a new suspect screening protocol was suggested.
