Multidimensional (MD) separations, especially comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) separations such as comprehensive 2D LC (LC x LC), and comprehensive 2D GC (GC x GC), are potentially powerful separation techniques. it is important to have a clear definition of MID techniques to better understand the scope and boundaries of the subject. Widely accepted definitions of MD Separations have their roots in the definition proposed by Giddings. Giddings also added several comments that clarified the scope of his definition. However, some researchers extend Giddings' definitions beyond their intended scope. Doing so disqualifies such comprehensive 2D techniques as LC x LC, GC x GC and 2D TLC from being considered as 2D techniques. In other instances, extended treatment of Giddings' definition is used as a basis to justify design-para meters of comprehensive 2D separations despite the fact that these parameters lead to sub-optimal implementations. We believe that the shortcomings in the definition and its popular interpretations are serious enough to warrant attention, especially by those interested in designing optimal instrumentation for MD separations like comprehensive 2D GC. After discussion of the weaknesses in the currently used definitions, we propose to define n-dimensional analysis as one that generates n-dimensional displacement information. We believe that this definition captures the spirit of Giddings' definition while avoiding the problems associated with its popular interpretations. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
