Advances in ultra-high-pressure and multi-dimensional liquid chromatography instrumentation and workflows

Abstract

The present contribution discusses recent advances in ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and multi-dimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) technology. First, new developments in UHPLC column technology and system design are highlighted. The latter includes a description of a novel injector concept enabling method speed-up, emerging detectors, and instrument diagnostics approaches. Next, online MDLC workflows are reviewed and advances in modulation technology are highlighted. Finally, key applications published in 2020 are reviewed.
