D ue to the considerably thinner porous layer stationary phase in fused-core particle columns, total column loading capacity is also considerably smaller when compared to standard fully porous particle columns. As a result, fused-core particle columns are more susceptible to sample overload and binding competition, which may occur when complex biological samples are used for analysis. These undesirable effects may impact peak shape, assay reproducibility, column performance and/or lifetime. We overcome these intrinsic limitations of fused core material by the development of a 2D RP-RP platform utilizing a fully porous C18 column in the first dimension and a fused-core C18 column in the second. Such a column switching 2D design eliminates typical drawbacks of fused-core columns, and maximizes their advantages in LC/MS analysis of complex biological samples. The main limitation factor of the Fused-Core material � low loading capacity was overcome by using 2D chromatography. We emphasize the importance of reducing post-column (extra column) volume.
