Unisol Technology • Surface Deactivation and Silanol Enrichment: SiO2---OH Si(OMe)4 SiO2---O-Si(OMe)3 Hydrolysis R-Si(Me)2-X SiO2-O-SiOSi(Me)2R SiO2---O-Si(OH)3
Results from the Unisol Process • Metal on silica surface----covered by fresh silanol of low acidity • High acidity of silanols caused by high temperature sintering---- covered by fresh silanol of low acidity • Surface irregularity caused by formation of micro-crystalline domains on surface ---- more uniform surface
Products from Unisol Technologies • Unisol C18: true versatile RP columns to cover the broadest range of applications; the most friendly towards basic or acid compounds; high Aq compatible • Venusil ASB C18: ASB-C8: extremely low bleed and high sensitivity for MS; extremely low pH and high temperature tolerance (pH=0.8, Temp=100oC); high Aq compatible • Unisol Amide: the highest retention for hydrophilic compounds in HILIC mode; more stable and reproducible than silica or amino columns • Durashell RP: the broadest pH range (1-12); symmetric peaks for acidic, basic and neutral compounds
Venusil ASB-C18 • Very polar C18 • pH range 0.8-7.0 (extremely stable at pH=1, up to 100oC) • Non-endcapped C18, • 150 A, 200 m2/g(compared to Zorbax 80A, 180m2/g) • Silanol pH=5.2(compared to Zorbax pH=3.5) • Compatible to 100% water(compared to Zobax SB, non-compatible) • Highest LC-MS Sensitivity : 2-3 times higher than many popular brands (low bleed, inert surface and high efficiency)

Quantitative Analysis of oleic acid and Its Metabolite Using SPE and LC-MS
Existing Issue Protein precipitation has low recovery: ~ 10% Poor linearity in the experimental range Oleic acid I.S. I.S. metabolite Oleic Acid Venusil ASB C18 4.6mm×150mm
Sample Preparation Two: 1 mL PEP SPE Columns Condition 1 mL Methanol Equilibration 1mL Water Load 500uL Sample Wash 1 1mL 1% formic acid Elute 1 mL 1% formic acid in ACN LC-MS Added 3% Phosphoric acid to break the protein-drug binding Still non-ideal recovery for Oleic Acid
Optimization of the Elution Solvents Recovery of compounds in Plasma The ACN:MeOH=70:30 solvent mixture gives the best recoveries for both oleic acid and its metabolite DHSA. Strong Interaction of the molecules with the SPE sorbent requires stronger elution solvent. Test concentration: 100ng/mL n = 12
