Abstract: Two dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has become an important analytical tool for the separation of complex samples due to enhanced peak capacity and selectivity compared to one-dimensional LC. The interface of the two dimensions is the key technology in 2D-LC system. The interface shall provide mobile phase removal from the 1st D-LC and solutes focusing before the fraction transfer into the 2nd D-LC. A comprehensive review on the interface is presented, and 51 references are cited.

Key words: complex samples, interface, two dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC)
