N2 - We describe a novel two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) method for fast and robust isolation and concentration of low abundant carbohydrates (sorbitol, glycerol) from biological matrices (plasma and urine). Off-line pre-purified fractions, enriched by analyte of interest, were analyzed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS-MS). Initial 2D-LC automated sample pre-purification improved MS detection, eliminated matrix effects, and achieved high sensitivity (picogram detection limit) with a 6 min runtime and increased column lifetime. Using this method we have analyzed more than 1300 samples from biological matrices without column replacement.
