(PE) 744.6 18:1/18:1, 18:0/18:2 A novel comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatographic (LC×LC) system for characterization of phospholipid (PL) molecular species
746.6 18:0/18:1 belonging to six phospholipid classes was developed. To tackle such a task, a silica hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column
766.7 18:1/20:4 was used as the rst dimension (D1), and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) with a C18 column was used as the second dimension
768.5 18:1/20:3 (D2) in combination with mass spectrometric detection. Fraction transfer from the D1 to the D2 was performed by means of a two-position
770.6 18:0/20:3 ten-port switching valve, operated under stop-ow conditions. The capability of the investigated LC×LC approach was demonstrated in the
792.5 18:0/22:6 separation of phospholipid molecular species contained in two Folch-extracted cow’s milk and plasma samples.
