Quality control in combinatorial chemistry: determination of the quantity, purity, and quantitative purity of compounds in combinatorial libraries. J Comb Chem. 5:2003;547-559 The authors critically evaluated and compared various analytical methods for measuring the identity, purity and quantity of combinatorial libraries, including MS, NMR, UV, ELSD and CLND. They examined different libraries in an attempt to identify the presence of 'invisible' impurities and determine their origins, and concluded that purification is the only way to ensure high-quality screening compounds.

J Comb Chem. 4:2002;622-629 To address issues related to the complexity of NMR data interpretation and analysis, the authors investigated the use of self-organizing maps (SOMs) to cluster together NMR spectra possessing common fingerprint patterns, thereby quickly and efficiently indicating the presence of 'problem' samples not possessing intended spectral signatures.

J Comb Chem. 4:2002;138-148 The authors developed a fully integrated analytical system to characterize combinatorial libraries comprised of HPLC linked to UV, ELSD, CLND and TOF-MS detectors. The use of the system for supporting synthesis optimization, surveying library quality, and prioritizing and identifying active leads from screening experiments was described.

J Comb Chem. 4:2002;600-611 A validated high-throughput process for purification of combinatorial libraries is described and evaluated in terms of the total sample throughput achievable for the entire process from sample submission to purified compound registration. A dual-column LC/MS was employed for both purification and analytical verification, and estimates regarding increases in throughput using additional columns were performed.

High-throughput purification of combinatorial libraries I: A high-throughput purification system using an accelerated retention window approach. J Comb Chem. 6:2004;255-261 The authors describe a high-throughput purification system capable of purifying combinatorial libraries on a 50-100 mg scale with a throughput of 250 samples/instrument/day. A 'prescreening' eight-channel LC/UV/MS analysis is performed to predict the target compound's retention time, after which compound-specific gradients are applied to facilitate the collection of a single purified fraction at a universal retention time.
