Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) was evaluated and applied to process monitoring in chip-based high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). By stimulating the C≡N-vibration of acetonitrile via laser excitation at 1064 nm and 858.3 nm, solvent gradients can be monitored in real-time. The approach can also be applied to indirect detection, which is exemplarily shown for the separation of short chain alcohols with an eluent containing acetonitrile. CARS was also combined with epi-fluorescence detection by integrating a 365 nm LED as a third excitation source. This allows fluorescent analytes to be detected in parallel to tracing the acetonitrile fraction of the eluent by CARS. This was applied to separate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons within 120 s on custom HPLC glass chips using gradient elution. In this proof of concept study, presenting the first application of CARS in chromatography, the percentage of acetonitrile in the eluent or rather high amounts of alcohols can be traced. If combined with fluorescence, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected at the 1 μg·mL−1range.Graphical abstractParallel coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and epi-fluorescence detection is realized for microchip liquid chromatography (chip-HPLC) for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Solvent gradients and dead time (t0) can be monitored in real-time by stimulating the acetonitrile C≡N vibration.
