- smaller particles (2004)- higher operational pressure- low flow rate- low consumption of MP - short time of analysis- large sequences of samples ? Recent trends in chromatographic separation phases Monolithic columns Sub-2 m columns - monolithic rods (2001) • low operational pressure • high flow rate • relatively high consumption of MP - short time of analysis • large sequences of samples Low pressure separation (HPLC, SIA, …) High pressure for separation UHPLC Core-shell technology - porous shell on fused core (2009) - short time of analysis - low consumtion of MP - large sequences of samples ? Substantial decrease of analysis time !!!
Stationary phases - comparison B - Monoliths - Porosity 80 % A - Particle based columns - Porosity 65 % Monolithic column- made of a highly porous material with two types of pore structure—macropores (size of2µm) and mesopores (size of 13 nm). This special porous character allows relatively high mobile phase flow rates (1–9 ml/min) while keeping the backpressure low.. J.Sep.Sci., 2009, 32 (15-16) – special issue devoted to Monoliths

Bioanalyticalapplications ofmonolithiccolumns Determinationofretinoicacids (RA)
Determination of retinoic acids (RA) Most important RA are 13-cis RA, all-trans RA For treatment of hemato-oncological deseases, a formulation Tretinoin is used (contain RA) tzv. Retinoidal syndrom – found in many patients (about 25 %) treated by Tretinoin Retinoidal syndrom: - high temperatures of body - acute pulmonary complications - hypotensis - eodems need for monitoring of RA in patients treated with formulation Tretinoin

Bioanalyticalapplications ofmonolithiccolumns Determination of neopterin in urine
Neopterin = a diagnostic marker reflect the stage of activation of the cellular immune system and pathogenesis and progression of various diseases:- in viral infections (HIV…)- in autoimmune or inflammatory diseases- rejection episodes following allograft transplantation- in several malignant diseases- neopterin concentrations are very closely linked with the progression of these diseases !Therefore it is of interest for laboratory diagnosis to measure the degree of activation of the human immune system. This is possible in an easy but specific way by the determination of neopterin concentrations.
