  28. Monolithic Stationary Phases • Basic Idea: • Organic vs. inorganic

  29. Comprehensive 2D LC • 2D LC: two LC experiments run back-to-back, with the effluent from the first LC column broken into pieces and injected on a second LC column

  30. Micro-HPLC • Development of precision microfluidic systems for drug discovery and miniaturized medical devices • microfluidic flow control • microscale pumping • Microfabrication • In other words, miniaturize the entire LC system

Eksigent Technologies: “Express” • Advantages of Miniaturization: • Increase in the number of parallel analyses • Decrease in analysis time • Decrease in sample/reagent consumption • Increase in integrated system functionality • Barriers to Microscale HPLC • Poor control of low flow rates • Loss of separation efficiency from instrumental components • Low sensitivity for absorbance detection

  32. Microfluidic Flow Control • Precise control of flow rate (1 nl/min to 100 µl/min) • Ability to pump against substantial back pressures (to 10,000 psi or more) • Active feedback for identification -and prediction- of leaks or blockages • Virtually instantaneous response to step changes in flow rate setpoint
