Lactoferrin is a multifunctional protein with antimicrobial activity and others tohealth beneficial properties. The main aim of this work was to propose easy to usetechnique for lactoferrin isolation from cow colostrum samples. Primarily we utilizedsodium dodecyl sulphate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for isolation of lactoferrinfrom the real samples. Moreover we tested automated microfluidic Experionelectrophoresis system to isolate lactoferrin from the collostrum sample. The welldeveloped signal of lactoferrin was determined with detection limit (3 S/N) of 20 ng/ml. Inspite of the fact that Experion is faster than SDS-PAGE both separation techniques cannotbe used in routine analysis. Therefore we have tested third separation technique, ionexchange chromatography, using monolithic column coupled with UV-VIS detector (LCUV-VIS). We optimized wave length (280 nm), ionic strength of the elution solution (1.5M NaCl) and flow rate of the retention and elution solutions (0.25 ml/min and 0.75 ml/min.respectively). Under the optimal conditions the detection limit was estimated as 0.1 μg/mlof lactoferrin measured. Using LC-UV-VIS we determined that lactoferrin concentrationvaried from 0.5 g/l to 1.1 g/l in cow colostrums collected in the certain time interval up to 72 hours after birth. Further we focused on miniaturization of detection device. We testedamperometric detection at carbon electrode. The results encouraged us to attempt tominiaturise whole detection system and to test it on analysis of real samples of humanfaeces, because lactoferrin level in faeces is closely associated with the inflammations ofintestine mucous membrane. For the purpose of miniaturization we employed thetechnology of printed electrodes. The detection limit of lactoferrin was estimated as 10μg/ml measured by the screen-printed electrodes fabricated by us. The fabricatedelectrodes were compared with commercially available ones. It follows from the obtainedresults that the responses measured by commercial electrodes are app. ten times highercompared with those measured by the electrodes fabricated by us. This phenomenonrelates with smaller working electrode surface area of the electrodes fabricated by us(about 50 %) compared to the commercial ones. The screen-printed electrodes fabricatedby us were utilized for determination of lactoferrin faeces. Regarding to fact that sample offaeces was obtained from young and healthy man the amount of lactoferrin in sample wasunder the limit of detection of this method.
The carbon fiber and silver microwire were used as working and pseudoreference electrode, respectively, and inserted into the ending of capillary to prepare monolithic capillary column with an integrated electrochemical detector. Prepared capillary devices offered stable and robust results with relative standard deviations of retention, resolution, and detection signal lower than 1.5, 5.5, and 5.0%, respectively. To further increase sensitivity of developed electrochemical microdetector, multiple pulse amperometry detection mode has been used. Optimized integrated device provided reliable chromatographic separation of mixture of neurotransmitters with calibration curve for dopamine linear from 0.5 to 20.0mgL-1 and an instrumental limit of detection as low as 24pg of injected dopamine. Finally, developed capillary column was applied to successful determination of dopamine in a human urine. By using both calibration curve and standard addition method, the dopamine level was determined to be 0.74±0.03mgL-1 and 0.71±0.02mgL-1, respectively. Triplicates of dopamine analysis provided relative standard deviations lower than 2.7% for intraday analyses, while interday relative standard deviations were lower than 3.6% for five consecutive days.

A new monolithic capillary column with an iron oxide nanoparticle coating has been developed for selective and efficient enrichment of phosphopeptides. Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method and stabilized by citrate ions. A stable coating of nanoparticles was obtained via multivalent electrostatic interactions of citrate ions on the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles with a quaternary amine functionalized poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith. A high dynamic binding capacity of 86 μmol/mL column volume was measured with an adenosine-5'-triphosphate. Performance of the monolithic column was demonstrated with the efficient and selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from peptide mixtures of α-casein and β-casein digests and their MALDI/MS characterization in off-line mode.

Two chromatographic narrow-bore columns, a novel 2.6 μm particle-packed Kinetex™ C18 core-shell (50×2.1 mm id) and monolithic Chromolith(®) FastGradient RP-18e (50×2 mm id), were evaluated for the analysis of diastereoisomers of the flavonolignans silybin and 23-O-acetylsilybin under isocratic conditions. The main advantages of the core-shell column are markedly higher efficiency (hmin =2.8 versus 5.6 for silybin A) and better peak symmetry. The Kinetex column exhibits only a slight change in the height equivalent of the theoretical plate with a higher linear velocity of the mobile phase. The monolithic column shows notably higher selectivity in terms of selectivity factor (1.21 versus 1.12) in the analysis of critical-pair of diastereoisomers (silybin A and silybin B) and enables shorter run duration (approx. twofold) together with lower backpressure. The resolution power was found to be comparable, but the Kinetex column required a higher pressure of the mobile phase that, together with the higher chance of clogging, can be a disadvantage in the separation of biological samples. Successful baseline separation of silybin diastereoisomers in real pharmaceutical sample on monolithic column was accomplished.

At the turn of the millennium, the monolithic columns invoked new chances in HPLC. Even more than their organic polymer-based siblings, the inorganic silica-based monoliths targeted the territory of classical fully porous particle-packed columns, promising many benefits. Based on the number of published articles, the monoliths attracted academics just in the first few years after their introduction to the market. Lately, as superficially porous particles and sub-2-micron fully porous particles dominated the market, they stayed in the focus of routine laboratories and those who really appreciated the high porosity of the monolithic bed. The monoliths' practical benefits cannot be easily traced in the literature when they gradually lose academics' interest. Nevertheless, after more than 20 years of our experience, we still favor silica monoliths for their low back pressure and longevity when analyzing samples of clinical, pharmaceutical, and environmental origin. At the same time, the high permeability of monoliths enabled the birth of sequential injection chromatography, the medium-pressure separation technique based on the flexible flow manifold. This minireview aims to check, discuss, and summarize the practical aspects of monolithic silica columns in HPLC and medium-pressure sequential injection chromatography (SIC) that may not be visible at first sight but are evident retrospectively.
This study introduces a silica-based monolith in a capillary format (0.1 mm × 100 mm) as a support for immobilization of liposomes and its characterization in immobilized liposome chromatography. Silica-based monolithic capillary columns prepared by acidic hydrolysis of tetramethoxysilane in the presence of polyethylene glycol and urea were modified by (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane, whereby amino groups were introduced to the monolithic surface. These groups undergo reaction with glutaraldehyde to form an iminoaldehyde, allowing covalent binding of pre-formed liposomes containing primary amino groups. Two types of phospholipid vesicles were used for column modification; these were 2-oleoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidyl choline with and without 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine. The prepared columns were evaluated under isocratic separation conditions employing 20mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 as a mobile phase and a set of unrelated drugs as model analytes. The liposome layer on the synthesized columns significantly changed the column selectivity compared to the aminopropylsilylated monolithic stationary phase. Monolithic columns modified by liposomes were stable under the separation conditions, which proved the applicability of the suggested preparation procedure for the synthesis of capillary columns dedicated to study analyte-liposome interactions. The column efficiency originating from the silica monolith was preserved and reached, e.g., more than 120,000 theoretical plates/m for caffeine as a solute.

The synthesis and characterization of large-bore silica-based monolithic capillary columns (0.32mm×150mm) are presented. Columns were prepared by acidic hydrolysis of a mixture containing tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (BTME) in different molar ratios in the presence of polyethylene glycol and urea. The monoliths were modified by zwitterionic monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium hydroxide via 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. Prepared stationary phases were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and chromatographic separation of nucleobases and their derivatives in the HILIC mode. The best chromatographic results were obtained with the column prepared from the reaction mixture containing BTME and TMOS in a 1:4 molar ratio. The permeability of such column reached 1.68×10-14m2 and the efficiency, expressed as a height equivalent of the theoretical plate, did not exceed 10.5μm for the tested compounds. The columns were successfully applied to HILIC separation of native and labeled oligosaccharides and glycans released from bovine ribonuclease B and human immunoglobulin G.

In our project, ghrelin analogs possessing enhanced stability and potential to significantly increase food intake were used. Three newly synthesized ghrelin analogs with fatty acid residues consisting of 8, 10, and 14 carbon atoms were studied. The main goal of this work was to develop a suitable analytical method for the determination of the stability of the novel ghrelin analogs in plasma. An appropriate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method was developed and optimized. The results obtained were compared with the data measured by using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and a good correlation was found. A preparation strategy for plasma samples was optimized and consisted of simple dilution of the plasma samples followed by direct injection onto a very short monolithic column in combination with mass spectrometric detection. The developed analytical method was utilized for the determination of the stability of the prepared lipopeptides in plasma and for the quantification of the lipopeptides in a preliminary pharmacokinetic study. The feasibility of the developed separation method was clearly demonstrated. Accuracy and precision were within 80-120% and ±20% limits, respectively. Calibration curves were constructed in the range of 1-250 μg/mL.

A recently presented new type of "multilayered" organic-inorganic hybrid silica particle packed column YMC-Triart C18 (50 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used for the development of a sequential injection chromatography method for determination of five azo dyes (Sudan I, Sudan II, Sudan III, Sudan orange G, and para red) in selected food seasonings. The use of a novel sorbent brings attractive features, reduced backpressure, and broader chemical stability together with high separation performance, which are discussed and compared with that of three types of columns typically used in medium-pressure flow chromatography techniques (classic monolithic, narrow monolithic, and core-shell particle columns). The separation was performed in gradient elution mode created by the zone mixing of two mobile phases (acetonitrile/water 90:10, 1.5 mL + acetonitrile/water 100:0, 2.3 mL) at a flow rate of 0.60 mL/min and time of analysis <9.5 min. The spectrophotometric detection wavelengths were set to 400, 480, and 500 nm. The high performance of the developed method with multilayered particle column was well documented and the results indicate a broad capability of sequential injection chromatography.
