Abstract
We have developed a microfluidic device consisting of a gold film working electrode modified with lactate oxidase and Os-poly(vinylpyridine) mediator containing horseradish peroxide, and reference and counter electrodes in a microflow detection channel separated by a microdialysis membrane from another microflow channel used for sample injection. The dialysis membrane is cellulose with a molecular weight cut off of 10 kDa. We achieved control over a wide recovery rate range of 3-94% because the device is capable of controlling both flow rates in the dual thin-layer channels. We were able to measure the lactate concentration in blood samples within a few minutes without any pretreatment because biomolecules are simultaneously separated by molecular weight and detected in the device. We achieved quantitative and reproducible measurements of the lactate concentration in blood samples, and obtained a relative standard deviation of 1.5% (n = 8). With our device, the lactate concentration in dog whole blood was measured with high stability without any pretreatment.

Abstract
We demonstrated the discrimination of volatile sulfur compound mixtures with different mixing ratios by using an array of the plasma-polymerized film (PPF)-coated quartz crystal resonators. The PPF sensor array, which contains PPFs prepared from amino acids and synthetic polymers, exhibited different response patterns to mono or mixed volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) (hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol) under a dry environment. The sensor array was installed in a desktop-size relative humidity controller. The relative humidity and temperature conditions of the sample flow to the sensor cell were equalized to those of the inner atmosphere of the sensor cell based on the concept of the two-separate-temperatures method. In this way, the baseline drift of PPF sensor response caused by the introduction of a highly humid sample was successfully suppressed. We compared the sensor array responses under the controlled humidity conditions. Presorption of water molecules by PPFs caused a decrease of sensor sensitivity, but the films still had the ability to discriminate sub-ppmv VSC mixtures having 6:1, 1:1, and 1:6 mixture ratios of hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol.

Abstract
The gas selectivities of highly ordered mesoporous silicates and commercially-obtained porous silicates with respect to benzene, toluene and xylene were studied. After studying the porosities, pore uniformities, and surface silanol structures of the silicates and their relationships to gas selectivity in detail, we found that we could achieve high benzene selectivity by controlling the micropore size (less than 1 nm). Concluding that mesoporous silicate has a suitable micropore size and structure for benzene selectivity, we also observed that mesoporous silicate SBA-16 exhibited a high (>6) benzene selectivity from toluene and xylene even in a pseudo-atmospheric environment. A benzene detection limit of about 100 ppb was achieved by introducing SBA-16 into a microfluidic device originally developed for the separate detection of benzene, toluene, and xylene gases.

Abstract
This paper proposes a very simple procedure for preparing a biocompatible sensor based on a protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), enzyme and vinylferrocene (VF) composite membrane modified electrode. The membrane was prepared simply by first casting vinylferrocene and then coating it with BSA and glucose oxidase immobilised with glutaraldehyde. The sensor response was independent of dissolved oxygen concentration from 3 to 10 ppm and showed good stability for serum sample measurement, unlike the commonly used BSA/enzyme modified electrode. The sensor response was almost unchanged over the measurement time (>10 h) whereas the responses of a BSA and glucose oxidase modified platinum electrode and an osmium-polyvinylpyridine wired horseradish peroxidase modified electrode (Ohara et al., 1993) fell to 68% of their initial value in a serum sample containing 10mM glucose.

Abstract
In interphase cells of fission yeast, the spindle pole body (SPB) is thought to be connected with chromosomal centromeres by an as yet unknown mechanism that spans the nuclear membrane. To elucidate this mechanism, we performed two-hybrid screens for proteins that interact with Kms1 and Sad1, which are constitutive membrane-bound components of the SPB that interact with each other. Seven and 26 genes were identified whose products potentially interact with Kms1 and Sad1, respectively. With the exception of Dlc1 (a homolog of the 14-kDa dynein light chain), all of the Kms1 interactors also interacted with Sad1. Among the genes identified were the previously known genes rhp9+ / crb2+, cut6+, ags1+ / mok1+, gst3+, kms2+, and sid4+. The products of kms2+ and sid4+ localize to the SPB. The novel genes were characterized by constructing disruption mutations and by localization of the gene products. Two of them, putative homologues of budding yeast UFE1 (which encodes a t-SNARE) and SFH1 (an essential component of a chromatin-remodeling complex), were essential for viability. Two further genes, which were only conditionally essential, genetically interact with sad1+. One of these was named sif1+ (for Sad1-interacting factor) and is required for proper septum formation at high temperature. Cells in which this gene was overexpressed displayed a wee -like phenotype. The product of the other gene, apm1+, is very similar to the medium chain of an adaptor protein complex in clathrin-coated vesicles. Apm1 appears to be required for SPB separation and spindle formation, and tended to accumulate at the SPB when it was overproduced. It was functionally distinct from its homologues Apm2 and Apm4. Other novel genes identified in this study included one for a nucleoporin and genes encoding novel membrane-bound proteins that were genetically related to Sad1. We found that none of the newly identified genes tested were necessary for centromere/telomere clustering.

Abstract
We achieved improved detection limits for sugars by developing a novel thin film containing 0.8% highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles in disordered graphite-like carbon (Ni-NDC) as a detection electrode for high-performance liquid chromatography. The Ni-NDC film was prepared in one step by a simple radio frequency (rf) sputtering method at a temperature below 200 degrees C. We characterized the film by XPS, TEM, and AFM analysis and found that the average Ni nanoparticle size was 3 nm and that the film consisted of a mixture of Ni, NiO, Ni2O3, and Ni(OH)2. We studied the electrochemical detection of sugars using the 0.8% Ni-NDC film electrode. The film electrode had excellent electrocatalytic ability and good stability compared with a Ni-bulk electrode with regard to the electrooxidation of sugars. We employed the Ni-NDC film as an HPLC detection electrode. We achieved a good separation of four sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose) at a relatively low constant detection potential (0.40 V vs Ag/AgCl) and a linearity of over 3 orders of magnitude. We obtained improved detection limits for the investigated sugars, namely, 20, 25, 50, and 37 nM for glucose, fructose, sucrose, and lactose, respectively. This is at least 1 order of magnitude lower than the detection limits obtained with a Ni-bulk electrode with the same measurement condition. The Ni-NDC film electrode also showed good reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 1.75% for 40 consecutive injections of glucose in a flow system.

Abstract
A microfluidic device integrated with a nanoliter volume enzyme pre-reactor and an enzyme-modified electrode was developed for the highly selective continuous measurement of glutamate (Glu). The device consists mainly of two glass plates. One plate incorporates an electrochemical cell that consists of working electrode (WE), reference electrode (RE) and counter electrode (CE). The WE is modified with a bilayer film of Os-polyvinylpyrridine-based mediator containing horseradish peroxidase (Os-gel-HRP). The WE was operated at -50 mV versus Ag. The other plate has a thin layer flow channel integrated with a pre-reactor. The reactor has a number of micropillars (20 microm in diameter, 20 microm high and separated from each other by a 20 microm gap) modified with ascorbate oxidase (AAOx) to eliminate L-ascorbic acid (AA). The enzymatic oxidation of AA is superior to that obtained with our previously reported pre-electrolysis type micro-reactor since electrochemically reversible transmitters such as catecholamines do not provide a cathodic current at the WE. In addition, the high operation potential of the pre-reactor causes unknown electroactive species, which also cause interference at the detection electrode. As a result, we were able to detect 1 microM Glu continuously at a low flow rate even when AA concentration was 100 microM.

Abstract
A method for the highly sensitive determination of acetylcholine (ACh) and choline (Ch) that employs a graphite-like carbon film electrode containing 6.5% platinum (Pt) nanoparticles was developed for use as a detector in microbore liquid chromatography (LC) with a postcolumn enzyme reactor. The film electrode was prepared by RF cosputtering carbon and Pt, which requires only a one-step formation process. This method can control the Pt content of the film at a relatively low deposition temperature (below 200 degrees C). The average size of the Pt nanoparticles was 2.5 nm. The film electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity, high sensitivity, and negligible baseline drift when detecting hydrogen peroxide. The electrode was modified with glucose oxidase and responded rapidly to glucose with a much more stable baseline current than at a Pt bulk electrode based sensor. Therefore, it is appropriate to employ the electrode to detect trace amounts of biomolecules, such as neurotransmitters and hormones combined with various oxidase enzymes. We used the electrode as a detector for microbore LC and observed a low detection limit of 2.5 and 2.3 fmol (10-microL injection) for ACh and Ch, respectively, which is approximately 1 order of magnitude lower than that of a Pt bulk electrode.

Abstract
We first measured the effects of trace levels of an endocrine disruptor, tributyltin (TBT), on the secretion response from nerve cells using a microfabricated biosensor designed for the continuous measurement of L-glutamate and hydrogen peroxide. We observed higher and long-lasting glutamate and hydrogen peroxide concentrations from the cells when cultured rat cortical neurons were exposed to TBT. Glutamate and hydrogen peroxide release was induced even when we reduced the TBT concentration to 10 nM. This concentration is about two orders of magnitude lower than the concentration that induced apoptosis-like cell death. We also report on the effects of NMDA and non-NMDA receptor antagonists, which can help us to understand the mechanism of TBT neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Two new types of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors that can determine the concentration of ammonium cations and urea were realized based on the previously reported theory of the absorption-based SPR measurement method. The change of the dielectric constant caused by the change of the light absorption characteristics of dyes incorporated in a sensing membrane phase is utilized in these SPR sensors. The determination of ions using the SPR sensor was realized by detecting the SPR signals of the minimum reflectance related to the change of absorption spectra of the dye in the ion optode membrane consisting of an ammonium-selective ionophore (TD19C6) and a lipophilic cationic dye (KD-M11) that shows absorption spectral changes due to protonation and deprotonation. A SPR enzyme sensor that can determine the concentration of urea was prepared by the combination of this ion optode membrane and an enzyme membrane based on urease. With the newly developed SPR sensors, the intensity changes of the reflectance at the fixed SPR resonance angle are monitored, which is different from conventional SPR sensors where usually the change of the SPR resonance angles is detected. In a continuous-flow experiment using the SPR ion sensor for NH4+ ion determination, a dynamic measurement range from 10(-5) to 10(-2) M was achieved. In the case of the enzyme-based SPR urea sensor, a dynamic range from 10(-4) to 10(-1) M was observed in a stopped-flow batch arrangement. It is expected that this sensing technique can be applied for the SPR-based detection of a wide range of low molecular weight analytes.

Abstract
We achieved separate detection of the components of 10 ppm of a benzene, toluene, and o-xylene mixture gas by using mesoporous silica powder incorporated in our microfluidic device. The device consists of concentration and detection cells formed of 3 cm x 1 cm Pyrex plates. We first introduced the mixture gas into the concentration cell where it was adsorbed on an adsorbent in a channel formed in the cell. We then raised the temperature using a thin-film heater and introduced the desorbed gas into the detection cell. Here, we measured the changes in the absorption spectra of the mixture gas in the detection cell. We found that the mixture ratio of the compounds in the desorbed gas varies with time because the thermal desorption property of each compound is different from that of the adsorbent. We analyzed the thermal desorption mechanism by comparing two types of silica adsorbents with different pore structures. We found that an adsorbent that has pores with a periodic and uniform nanosized column shape provides better component separation. We concluded that the uniform pore structure might cause the adsorbate molecules to exhibit a homogeneous adsorption state thus revealing the desorption properties of the gas more clearly.

Abstract
Three types of imaging, namely layer structure, electrochemical reaction, and enzyme sensor response, were achieved by applying surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement to an electrochemical biosensor. We constructed glucose oxidase based mediator type sensors on a gold electrode by spotting the mediator that contained horseradish peroxidase and spin coating the glucose oxidase film. The layer structure of the sensor was imaged by means of angle scanning SPR measurement. The single sensor spot (about 1 mm in diameter) consisted of about 100 x 100 pixels and its spatial structure was imaged. The multilayer structure of the enzyme sensor had a complex reflectance-incident angle curve and this required us to choose a suitable incident angle for mapping the redox state. We chose an incident angle that provided the most significant reflection intensity difference by using data obtained from two angle scanning SPR measurements at different electrode potentials. At this incident angle, we controlled the electrochemical states of the spotted mediator in cyclic voltammetry and imaged the degree to which the charged site density changed. Finally, we mapped the enzymatic activity around the mediator spot by the enzymatic reoxidation of pre-reduced mediator in the presence of glucose.

Abstract
In order to simplify the procedure for assembling a surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor, a refractive index matching polymer film was prepared as an alternative to the conventionally used matching oil. The refractive index matching polymer film, the refractive index of which was nearly equal to the prism and sensor chip material (a cover glass) of the SPR sensor, was prepared by casting a tetrahydrofuran solution of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) containing equal weights of dioctyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate. The refractive index matching polymer film was found to have a refractive index of 1.516, which is identical to that of the prism and the cover glass used for the present SPR sensor. The utility of the matching polymer film for the SPR sensor was confirmed by the detection of anti-human albumin, based on an antigen-antibody reaction.
