The use of particle beam interface (PBI) in LC-MS has faded because of its
poor resolutions and low sensitivity for a lot of compounds. It also does not
perform well in reversed phase systems with a high percentage of water.
This manuscript describes the method of two dimensional LC to overcome
the problems of PBI, both in the identification of unknown samples and in the
quantitative determination of metabolites of vitamin-D in human plasma. In
the identification of unknown components, the reverse phase solvent in first
dimensional liquid chromatography (LC) was transferred to an isocratic normal
solvent system in second dimensional LC by a column switch. Moreover, only
peaks of interest (components) in the first dimensional LC were transferred
into the second LC column for mass analysis. In the second dimensional LC for
the quantitative determination of the metabolite of vitamin-D, the peak width
of analyte was greatly narrowed and interference was excluded such that high
sensitivity and resolution resulted.. The detection limit can reach to 25 pg./ml for
test metabolite of vitamin D in human plasma with injection volume 50 μI.
