Liquid chromatography and Raman spectroscopy (LC-Raman system) were combined and developed with the aid of the vertical flow method that enhances the Raman signal intensity. The LC-Raman system enabled the online acquisition of the nonresonance Raman spectrum of LC eluates. We employed singular value decomposition (SVD) and subsequent reconstruction of the components for the analysis of two-dimensional (temporal and spectral) data. The obtained components were consistent with the Raman spectra and elution patterns of the samples, indicating the appropriateness of the SVD-based procedure. The rise and fall times of the elution band of the temporal component were considered as the instrumental function. D2O mixed with H2O exhibited increased full width at half maximum of the elution band of up to 30% in comparison to the calculated value because of diffusion. Band broadening was less significant in the case in which an immiscible solute (pentane) was mixed with H2O. The limits of detection and quantitation were 1.2 ± 0.1, 2.1 ± 0.1, and 2.7 ± 0.1 mM and 4.1 ± 0.1, 6.9 ± 0.1, and 9.1 ± 0.2 mM for the ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers of methoxyphenol, respectively. The nonresonance Raman experiment provides the molecular specificity to LC on the basis of the inherent properties of eluates.
