Analytical potential of mid-infrared detection in capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography: a review.
2010
Literature published in the last decade concerning the use of mid-infrared spectrometry as a detection system in separation techniques employing a liquid mobile phase is reviewed. In addition to the continued use of isocratic liquid chromatographic (LC) techniques, advances in chemometric data evaluation techniques now allow the use of gradient techniques on a routine basis, thus significantly broadening the range of possible applications of LC-IR. The general trend towards miniaturized separation systems was also followed for mid-IR detection where two key developments are of special importance. Firstly, concerning on-line detection the advent of micro-fabricated flow-cells with inner volu…

Univariate method for background correction in liquid chromatography–Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
2007
An univariate method is proposed for background correction in on-line gradient liquid chromatography-Fourier transform infrared (LC-FTIR) spectrometry using acetonitrile:water as mobile phase components. The method is based on the calculation of the ratio of absorbances (AR) at two characteristic wavenumbers for each spectrum. This parameter is subsequently used to locate the most appropriated eluent spectrum within a reference spectra matrix (RSM) to be subtracted from each spectrum included in the sample chromatogram. To correct minor changes in eluent spectra intensity during the elution of analytes, a correction factor (Kf), defined as the ratio of the absorbance of the sample and the s…
Towards a Rapid Screening of Liver Grafts at the Operating Room Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy
2020
The estimation of steatosis in a liver graft is mandatory prior to liver transplantation, as the risk of graft failure increases with the level of infiltrated fat. However, the assessment of liver steatosis before transplantation is typically based on a qualitative or semiquantitative characterization by visual inspection and palpation and histological analysis. Thus, there is an unmet need for transplantation surgeons to have access to a diagnostic tool enabling an in situ fast classification of grafts prior to extraction. In this study, we have assessed an attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic method compatible with the requirements of an operatio…
Procedure for automated background correction in flow systems with infrared spectroscopic detection and changing liquid-phase composition
2009
This paper describes a partial least squares (PLS) based automatic procedure to correct for changes in the spectral contribution of the solvent or solvent mixtures from solute spectra recorded in these solvents. The procedure was developed for successful on-line Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) detection in gradient high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separations. It requires a reference FT-IR data set containing all possible combinations of the expected variation in solvent composition. Furthermore, a spectral region ( A) in these spectra is required where the solvents show absorption but the analytes do not. This is the case for the system ACN:H2O, an often-applied solvent mi…
On-Capillary Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: Determination of Glutathione in Whole Blood Microsamples.
2018
Oxidative stress monitoring in the neonatal period supports early outcome prediction and treatment. Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant antioxidant in most cells and tissues, including whole blood, and its usefulness as a biomarker has been known for decades. To date, the available methods for GSH determination require laborious sample processing and the use of sophisticated laboratory equipment. To the best of our knowledge, no tools suitable for point-of-care (POC) sensing have been reported. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), performed in a microvolume capillary measurement cell, is proposed in this study as a robust approach for the quantification of GSH in human whole blood…
Advanced Spectroscopic Detectors for Identification and Quantification
2013
The coupling of vibration spectroscopic detectors to liquid chromatography (LC) is an interesting analytical tool that allows combining high resolution from LC with molecular specific information accessible by infrared (IR) and Raman spectrometry. This chapter describes the basics of IR and Raman spectroscopy with a special emphasis on the advantages and pitfalls of these detection techniques in LC. Two fundamentally different coupling approaches, namely, off-line hyphenation involving the physical elimination of the mobile phase and on-line hyphenation through the use of flow cells, are discussed in detail, describing the most important interfaces and diverse practical applications. Strate…
Infrared biospectroscopy for a fast qualitative evaluation of sample preparation in metabolomics.
2014
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been increasingly used in biomedicine to study the dynamic metabolomic responses of biological systems under different physiological or pathological conditions. To obtain an integrated snapshot of the system, metabolomic methods in biomedicine typically analyze biofluids (e.g. plasma) that require clean-up before being injected into LC-MS systems. However, high resolution LC-MS is costly in terms of resources required for sample and data analysis and care must be taken to prevent chemical (e.g. ion suppression) or statistical artifacts. Because of that, the effect of sample preparation on the metabolomic profile during metabolomic method d…
First-order derivative resolution of overlapped PAH peaks with common mass spectra in gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
2007
Abstract First-order derivative of 15 points smoothed chromatograms of mixtures of benzo( b )fluoranthene (BbF) and benzo( k )fluoranthene (BkF) for the m / z 252 ion obtained using two microscans has been proposed as a simple alternative to the resolution of overlapped chromatographic peaks of these two compounds which have identical mass spectra. The procedure provides limits of detection of 12 and 29 ng g −1 for BbF and BkF, respectively and offers the possibility to use the 250 and 248 ions to confirm the identity of these analytes.
A rapid method for the differentiation of yeast cells grown under carbon and nitrogen-limited conditions by means of partial least squares discrimina…
2012
This paper shows the ease of application and usefulness of mid-IR measurements for the investigation of orthogonal cell states on the example of the analysis of Pichia pastoris cells. A rapid method for the discrimination of entire yeast cells grown under carbon and nitrogen-limited conditions based on the direct acquisition of mid-IR spectra and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) is described. The obtained PLS-DA model was extensively validated employing two different validation strategies: (i) statistical validation employing a method based on permutation testing and (ii) external validation splitting the available data into two independent sub-sets. The Variable Importa…
ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for the routine quality control of exosome isolations
2021
Abstract Exosomes are nanosized vesicles containing specific cargos of DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites, and intracellular and membrane lipids. Exosome isolation needs to be optimized carefully depending on the type of biofluid and tissue and the retrieved exosomes need to be characterized. The main objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of a multimodal analysis of Attenuated Total Reflectance – Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and UPLC–QqTOF-MSMS for the development of a routine quality control tool of isolated exosomes and the rapid characterization of their lipid profiles and total protein content. Using human milk as model example, exosomes were isolat…
