Hydrophilic interaction chromatography–mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS) offers a flexible and efficient alternative to ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography (IP-RPLC) for oligonucleotide analysis, with column selectivity and mobile phase pH being key factors in optimizing retention and detection.

This article highlights the use of a new HILIC zwitterionic phase on superficially porous particles. A study on the use of a novel mobile-phase additive to achieve superior peak shape and isomer separation is also discussed, as well as improved LC–MS detection capabilities for metabolomics analysis.
