The present paper describes a novel two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) system, which is comprised of a first-dimensional ion exchange chromatography (IEX1) column, trap column, and second-dimensional reversed-phase chromatography (RP2) column system. The biological sample is separated by the first-dimensional LC using an IEX column to remove interferences. The analytes are transferred to the trap column after heart-cutting. Then, the analytes are transferred to the second-dimensional LC using an RP2 column for further separation and ...
