The preparation process involved three simple steps: preparation of silica monoliths, functionalization of the silica surface, and polymerization of the imprinting system onto the silica surface. The resulting MIMCs exhibited a homogeneous pore structure, high surface area (>100 m<sup>2</sup>/g), high porosity (ca. 74%), and good permeability (3.0 − 3.9 × 10<sup>−15</sup> m<sup>2</sup>). The chromatographic separation performance of the MIMCs prepared on amino-functionalized silica monoliths was significantly superior to those prepared on thiol and vinyl-functionalized silica monoliths. The MIMCs prepared on amino-functionalized silica monoliths (I.D. 4.6 × 20 mm) could nearly achieve baseline separation of four structurally similar flavonoids: genistein, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, and quercetin. In addition, these MIMCs exhibited excellent selectivity in the chromatographic separation of flavonoids from the hydrolysate of Ginkgo leaves. However, when used as SPE adsorbents, the MIMCs prepared on thiol and vinyl-functionalized silica monoliths were superior to those on amino-functionalized silica monoliths in terms of purification of flavonoids from the Ginkgo hydrolysate.

Cyanobacteria can produce multiple classes of cyanotoxins; therefore, to understand the full toxic load of algal blooms, it is necessary to perform analyses that quantify each class. These classes are generally monitored individually due to the challenges associated with the differing physicochemical properties of the cyanotoxins. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a form of chromatography capable of retaining multiple classes of cyanotoxins that differ in physicochemical properties. Here an HILIC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to detect 3 microcystins, 11 saxitoxins, and 2 anatoxins. The chromatographic conditions were optimized to allow for the separation of multiple pairs of saxitoxin epimers, and in-source fragmentation in the MS interface was used to develop unique MRMs between the pairs.
