There is a continuing need for increased throughput in the evaluation of new drug entities in terms of their pharmacokinetic parameters. One useful parameter that can be measured in vitro using liver microsomal preparations is metabolic stability. In this report, we describe an automated system that

Abstract
In the present contribution, a fully automated capillary comprehensive two‐dimensional LC (LC×LC) method, for proteomic analysis, was developed for the first time. The investigated platform was characterized by the coupling of high‐pH RP with low‐pH RP separations thus ensuring the generation of high peak capacity despite the employment of identical stationary phases. The use of capillary columns in both dimensions allowed to reduce mobile‐phase consumption and enhance sensitivity. Fraction transfer from the first to the second dimension was performed by means of two 2‐position 6‐port nano‐switching valves, under stop‐flow conditions. Values as high as 1208 and 955 were obtained for the theoretical and practical peak capacity, respectively. The investigated LC×LC system showed good retention time repeatibility with RSD values ranging from 0.8 to 6.0% for the first dimension and from 1.0 to 3.0% for the second dimension, respectively. RSD peak area values below 9.5% were also attained, thus demonstrating the precision of the LC×LC method employed.
