Abstract

Liquid chromatography (LC) has broad applicability in the pharmaceutical industry, from the early stages of drug discovery to reaction monitoring and process control. However, small footprint, truly portable LC systems have not yet been demonstrated and fully evaluated practically for on-line, in-line or at-line pharmaceutical analysis. Herein, a portable, briefcase-sized capillary LC fitted with a miniature multi-deep UV-LED detector has been developed and interfaced with a portable mass spectrometer for on-site pharmaceutical analysis. With this configuration, the combined small footprint portable LC-UV/MS system was utilized for the determination of small molecule pharmaceuticals and reaction monitoring. The LC-UV/MS system was interfaced directly with a process sample cart and applied to automated pharmaceutical analysis, as well as also being benchmarked against a commercial process UPLC system (Waters PATROL system). The portable system gave low detection limits (∼3 ppb), a wide dynamic range (up to 200 ppm) and was used to confirm the identity of reaction impurities and for studying the kinetics of synthesis. The developed platform showed robust performance for automated process analysis, with less than 5.0% relative standard deviation (RSD) on sample-to-sample reproducibility, and less than 2% carryover between samples. The system has been shown to significantly increase throughput by providing near real-time analysis and to improve understanding of synthetic processes.
