High‐throughput liquid chromatography ultraviolet/mass spectrometric analysis of combinatorial libraries using an eight‐channel multiplexed electrospray time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer

Abstract
We report a high-throughput liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) protocol for analyzing large combinatorial libraries using an eight-channel parallel LC/UV/MS (MUX-LCT) system. System configuration, linear response range in UV absorbance, LC column selection, and flow rate were optimized for 24 h/7 day unattended operations. Combinatorial libraries were analyzed on this system at a rate of 3200 compounds per day for a 3.5 min cycle time per injection. This parallel system is compared with a single-channel system in terms of performance and operation. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
