The separation of the phenacyl esters of the fatty acids originating from a fish oil extract by means of a comprehensive analysis using silver-ion (SI) supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) in the first and second dimensions, respectively, is described. The combination ensured a high orthogonality and peak capacity, particularly when compared to the comprehensive RP-LC x 2RP-LC separation achieved by using a configuration with two columns in parallel in the second dimension. The construction of the SI-SFC x RP-LC interface consists of two two-position/ten-port switching valves, of which one is equipped with two loops packed with octadecyl silica (ODS) particles. Compared to the SFC x RP-LC configuration described in an earlier publication, the peak capacity in the second dimension was increased. Water was not only added as make-up fluid to the SFC effluent to ensure analyte focusing, but also as rinsing medium of the loops prior to the transfer of the fractions to the second dimension. In the SFC dimension, high efficiency and loadability were obtained by coupling two wide-bore columns (4.6 mm ID) in series. Evaporative light scattering (ELSD) and ultraviolet (UV) detection with standard and high-pressure flow cells were evaluated in terms of data acquisition speed and suppression of signal interferences originating from the supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) expansion.
