"Further Studies Into The Development Of A Micro-FIA (µFIA) System Based On Electroosmotic Flow For The Determination Of Phosphate As Orthophosphate"
Anal. Chim. Acta 1999 Volume 382, Issue 1-2 Pages 1-13

Abstract: Photolithographic and wet etching techniques were used to fabricate a µFIA manifold in a borosilicate glass substrate for the spectrophotometric determination of orthophosphate based on the molybdenum blue reaction, employing electroosmotic flow for both the mobilization of reagents and sample injection. The manifold channel dimensions were 200 µm wide and 50 µm deep. An evaluation of the electroosmotic flow characteristics (i.e. voltage, solution concentration/pH ranges and current-voltage relationships) for ascorbic acid, ammonium molybdate and orthophosphate standards, with and without berate buffer present, has been carried out. In addition, the effect that reaction precursors may have on the in situ spectrophotometric detection system is also discussed. Using the optimized operating conditions of 1.75% ascorbic acid and 0.6% ammonium molybdate in 10 mM berate buffer, the calibration model for phosphate standards was found to be linear (y = 0.0036x + 0.0155; correlation coefficient, r2 = 0.9952) over the working range 1-10 µg mL-1. A sampling rate of ~60 samples/h was achieved, with a detection limit of 0.1 µg mL-1 for orthophosphate, with RSDs <5%. The reagent consumption was very low with the total reactant volume in the system estimated to be 0.6 µL and a sample volume of 0.1 µL being required.

Abstract: A method of mixing sample and reagent in FIA based on electrophoretically-mediated microanalysis (cf. Bao and Regnier, J. Chromatogr. A., 1992, 608, 217) is presented. The new method, electroinjection analysis, injects sample and reagents at opposite ends of the capillary tube and the mixing is due to the differences in their electrophoretic mobilities. Electroinjection analysis and electrophoretically-mediated microanalysis are compared and discussed.

Abstract: A computer-assisted multicomponent analytical system, developed for comparative biochemical studies, was used for a clinical study of Crohn's disease in which 73 subjects, of comparable age and sex distribution, were considered: 40 with Crohn's disease, 16 with ulcerative colitis and 17 healthy volunteers as controls. Blood samples (5 ml) were taken to recover plasma and red cells. After extraction and fractionation of low- and high-molecular weight substances, the samples were analyzed by ion-exchange chromatography and electrophoresis. The contents of amino acids, sugars, polyamines and proteins in the plasma and the red cells from the three groups of individuals were compared using statistical (means, variance, principal components analysis) and graphical profile methods. The first results indicate that the content of red cells, in comparison with plasma, allows the best differentiation of the three groups of subjects considered. In particular, the amino acids (Asp, Thr, Ser, Glu, Gly, Ala and Leu), the polyamines (spermidine and spermine) and glucose, show the most significant differences. The methodology followed and the results obtained, together with possible uses of this computer-assisted multicomponent analytical system in problems concerning clinical research, are discussed.

Abstract: A improved setup for a previously described capillary electrophoresis system combined with an online enzymatic assay (cf. J. Chromatogr. A, 1994, 662, 275) was evaluated for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The old configuration involved a post-column reactor with a press-driven substrate flow; the new setup involved an electrically controlled substrate flow. The post-column reactor was coupled to the separation capillary by a liquid junction. Two different setups are described: (i) a high-voltage supply connected between the injector and the outlet of the reaction capillary; and (ii) two high-voltage supplies connected between the injector and the Tee and the Tee and the outlet of the reaction capillary, respectively (details given). The setup allowed capillaries of the same diameter to be used for the separation and the post-column reaction, which meant that dilution of solutes was minimized resulting in better detection sensitivity. Also, stopped-flow procedures could be carried out allowing enhanced reaction product formation. The method offers a high degree of freedom in optimizing the separation and enzymatic reaction conditions individually. Results are discussed.

Abstract: Since its introduction as an analytical technique capillary electrophoresis has been used for the separation of amino acids and their enantiomers; over 150 studies have been published to date. This review deals with their separation and detection. Amino acids have been resolved using both capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Pre-column derivatization schemes which are employed for the sensitive detection of amino acids are discussed. Criteria for the selection of the pre- or post-column derivatizing agent, chromophore or fluorophore, are presented. Detection systems, direct and indirect, that have been used are given with emphasis on fluorogenic reagents and laser induced fluorescence detection. Also, procedures for the separation of amino acid enantiomers are discussed and illustrated.

Abstract: The charged solute moves in three directions, flowing continuously downwards with the main buffer and migrating electrophoretically in two other perpendicular directions. Particles are fractionated in proportion to the squares of their electrophoretic mobilities. The method is expected to show good resolution for the separation of peptides, proteins and organelles.

Abstract: The application of plastified laser-printed poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)-toner microchips to capillary electrophoresis was investigated. Electroosmotic flow was observed in the direction of the cathode for the buffer system studied (phosphate, pH 3-10). Average electroosmotic mobilities of 1.71 x 10^-4 to 4.35 x 10^-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 were observed from pH 3 to 10. This variation suggests that silica fillers in the toner and on the surface of the polymer dominate the zeta potential of the material, which is also confirmed by XPS measurements. Dopamine and catechol were used as model analytes for microchip electrophoresis in combination with electrochemical detection. Results show that these two analytes can be efficiently separated and detected electrochemically with the plastified laser-printed PET-toner microchips.

Abstract: This paper reports low-leakage injection techniques to deliver sample plugs within double-T-form electrophoresis microchips. Experimental and numerical investigations are used to predict and evaluate the leakage behavior during electrokinetic driving of the sample plugs. The principal material transport mechanisms including traditional cross-form, electro-floating, diffusion sampling injection techniques are discussed in this study. A simple and precise double-L injection technique that employs electrokinetic manipulations to avoid sample leakage within the microchip is also reported. The method needs only one electrical control point during injection and separation, so the control system can be smaller and cheaper. Experimental and numerical results show the proposed injection technique is able to reduce sample leakage significantly. No leakage happens after 16 sample injections using the double-L injection method while leakage usually happens using the traditional cross-form injection technique. The double-L injection technique proposed in this study has a great potential for use in high-precision analysis applications utilizing chip-based capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract: A microchip-based capillary electrophoresis device supported by a microfluidic network made of poly(dimethylsiloxane), used for measuring target analytes from a continuous sample flow, is presented. The microsystem was fabricated by means of replica molding in combination with standard microfabrication technologies, resulting in microfluidic components and an electrochemical detector. A new hydrodynamic sample injection procedure is introduced, and the maximum number of consecutive measurements that can be made with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) capillary electrophoresis chip with amperometric detection is investigated with respect to reproducibility. The device features a high degree of functional integration, so the benefits associated with miniaturized analysis systems apply to it.
