Abstract
The use of turbulent flow chromatography in conjunction with column switching isocratic focusing was used to perform on‐line sample cleanup and concentration of neat rat plasma for the identification of low‐level metabolites. The concentration was achieved by focusing multiple injections, which were cleaned by a turbulent flow column, onto an analytical column prior to elution into the mass spectrometer. In addition, the first application of turbulent flow chromatography for on‐line sample cleanup of neat bile samples is reported. The on‐line cleanup and concentration method extracts and concentrates a sample 20‐fold in 1 h, and is completely automated. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
