Semi HPLC using a column switching technique was used to determine the trace content of vitamin B12 in various foods. Total analytical time required less than 20 mins per sample and the recovery ratio was 99.9, 99.6, 100.1 and 99.8% for 1.0, 10.0, 100.0 and 1,000 g/kg, respectively. The content of vitamin B12 in various foods obtained using column switching method showed higher levels compared to labels in dried milk(0.5 g/100g) and in grain products(0.51~34.36 g/100g). Thus, this column switching method was more sensitive, effective and precise than the microbiological analysis currently used to determine the trace compounds like a vitamin B12.

Free amino acids were isolated from milk and their absolute amounts were determined by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography after derivatization with dansyl chloride. The determination of D- and L-amino acids was based on achiral separation on a C18 column. It was found that milk contained totally 41.00 mg DL-amino acids in 100 mL milk. The level of D-amino acids to L-amino acids was determined by a column-switching system combining an achiral reversed phase separation and chiral chelate additive. The chiral separation was carried out with addition of the chiral Cu(N-benzyl-L-proline)2 chelate to the mobile phase in reversed phase liquid chromatography. It was found that the determination of 16 different amino acids is feasible in the milk sample with a C18 column separation and 12 D-amino acids out of the 16 amino acids can be determined via the column-switching system with chiral separation. 2.05% of D-glutamic acid and 2.93% of D-alanine were found in milk.

A new high-performance liquid chromatographic method with column switching has been onto a Bondapak phenyl/corsil $(37-50{\;}{\mu}m)$ precolumn and polar plasma components were washed with 0.06 M borate burffer. After valve switching, the concentrated drug were eluted in the back-flush mode and separated on a ${\mu}-Bondapak$ C18 column with acetonitrilke-phosphate buffer as the mobile phae. The method showed excellent precision, accuracy and speed with detection limit of $0.01{\;}{\mug}/ml^{-1}$. Total analysis time per smaple was less than 20 min and the coefficients of variation for intra and inter-assay were less than 5.635. This method has been successfully applied to plasma smaples from eats after oral administration of omeprazole.

A column-switching high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of a fluconazole in human plasma. Each plasma sample was centrifuged for 10 min at 5000 g. After an aliqout of the supernatant was taken to nylon microcentrifuge filter, these samples were centrifuged for 10 min at 5000 g. An aliqout of the supernatant was injected directly onto the HPLC column. Deionized water was run for 2 min at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min to retain fluconazole in an extration column, while proteins and endogenous interferences were eluted to the waste. The analyte was then back-flushed onto an analytical column, $C_{18}$ reversed-phase column. The mobile phase for analytical column, 0.01 M sodium acetate (pH 5.0)-methanol (65:35, v/v), was run at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The column effluent was monitored by ultraviolet detection at 261 nm. The retention time for fluconazole was 11.76 min in human plasma. The detection limit for fluconazole in human plasma was $0.2\;{\mu}g/ml$. No interference from endogenous substances was observed.

Rapid and simple method was developed for simultaneous determination of vitamins $D_3\;and\;K_1$ contents in infant formula. Contents of vitamins $D_3\;and\;K_1$, extracted by column-switching HPLC with reversed phase column using enzymatic hydrolysis and organic solvent, in CRM determined by developed method were within certified ranges of standard values.

A coupled achiral-chiral high-performance liquid chromatographic system has been developed for the determination of the enantiomers of salmeterol, S-(+)-salmeterol and R-(-)-salmeterol in urine. THe salmeterol was separated from the interfering components in urine and quantified on the silica column, and the enantiomeric composition was determined on a Sumichiral OA-4700 chiral stationary phase. The two columns were connected by a switching valve equipped with a silica precolumn. The two columns wer connected by a switching valve equipped with a silica precolumn. The precolumn was used to concentrate the salmeterol in the eluent from the achiral column before backflushing onto the chiral phase. The coupled system was validated.

A fully automated high performance liquid chromatography with column-switching was developed for the simultaneous determination of KR60436, a new reversible proton pump inhibitor, and its active metabolite O-Demethyl-KR60436 from rat plasma samples. Plasma sample (50$\mu$l) was directly introduced onto a Capcell Pak MF Ph-1 column ($10{\times}4$ mm I.D.) where primary separation was occurred to remove proteins and concentrate target Substances Using acetonitrile-Potassium Phosphate (PH 7, 0.1 M) (2 : 8, v/v). The drug molecules eluted from MF Ph-1 column were focused in an intermediate column ($10{\times}2$ I.D.) by the valve switching step. The substances enriched in intermediate column were eluted and separated on a Vydac 218MR53 column ($250{\times}3.2$ I.D.) using acetonitrilepotassium phosphate (pH 7, 0.02 M) (47:53, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min when the valve status was switched back to A position. The method showed excellent sensitivity (detection limit of 2 ng/ml) with small volume of samples ($50{\mu}$l), good precision and accuracy, and speed (total analysis time 24 min) without any loss in chromatographic efficiency. The response was linear ($r^2{\geq}0.797$) over the concentration range of 5-500 ng/ml.

Column--swtiching technique with a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the routine analysis of radioiodinated insulin and its degadation products in biological fluids. The diluted biological samples were loaded onto a precolumn packed with LiChrosorb RP-8 $(25-40{\;}{\mu}m)$ using 0.1% trifuoroacetic acid (TFA) in water as a washing solvent. After valve switching, the concentrated insulins were eluted in the back-flush mode and separated by a W-Porex $C_{18}$ column with a gradient of 0.1% TFA in water and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The method showed good precision, accuracy and speed with the detection limit of 20 pg/ml. Total analysis time per sample was about 40 min and the coefficients of variation were less than 8, 2%.

A column switching HPLC assay was developed to allow the separation and quantitation of cetirizine in human plasma by ultraviolet (UV) detection. Plasma samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction. After drying, the residue was reconstituted in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.8) containing 15% acetonitrile. The samples were initially injected onto a clean-up Capcell Pak MF C18 column. (50 mm $\times$ 4.6 mm I.D.), and the chromatographic region containing the peaks of interest was followed in an analytical C18 microcolumn (250 mm$\times$1.5 mm I. D.) via column switching device.

Achiral-chiral column switching HPLC assay was developed to allow the separation and quantification of the enantiomers of terbutaline in human plasma by means of fluorescence detection. Plasma samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction with sep-pak silica, followed by HPLC assay. The enantiomers of terbutaline and the internal standard were separated from the biological matrix on a silica column, and the two enantiomers were resolved and quantified on a Sumichiral OA-4900 column. The two columns were connected by a switching valve equipped with silica trap column, The trap column was used to concentrate the terbutaline in the eluent from the achiral column before back flushing onto the chiral phase. For each enantiomers, the assay was linear between 2.5-125 ng/$m\ell$ (r=0.9999) and detection limit was 1.0 ng/$m\ell$ .
