Advances in stationary phase development for the analysis of target compounds in proteomics, phytomics and metabolomics

Abstract

Extraction, purification, preconcentration and separation are the classical steps for the analysis of plant materials. Although a huge number of different techniques are available, the design of novel materials and stationary phases is still needed. In fact, selective extraction, preconcentration and purification prior to analysis is often necessary owing to the complexity of samples. Additionally, analytes are often present in low concentrations, what makes successful analysis a challenge.
