Abstract
Microfluidic and capillary devices are increasingly being used in analytical applications while their overall size keeps decreasing. Detection sensitivity for these microdevices gains more importance as device sizes and consequently, sample volumes, decrease. This paper reviews optical, electrochemical, electrical, and mass spectrometric detection methods that are applicable to capillary scale and microfluidic devices, with brief introduction to the principles in each case. Much of this is considered in the context of separations. We do consider theoretical aspects of separations by open tubular liquid chromatography, arguably the most potentially fertile area of separations that has been left fallow largely because of lack of scale-appropriate detection methods. We also examine the theoretical basis of zone electrophoretic separations. Optical detection methods discussed include UV/Vis absorbance, fluorescence, chemiluminescence and refractometry. Amperometry is essentially the only electrochemical detection method used in microsystems. Suppressed conductance and especially contactless conductivity (admittance) detection are in wide use for the detection of ionic analytes. Microfluidic devices, integrated to various mass spectrometers, including ESI-MS, APCI-MS, and MALDI-MS are discussed. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of each detection method and compare the best reported limits of detection in as uniform a format as the available information allows. While this review pays more attention to recent developments, our primary focus has been on the novelty and ingenuity of the approach, regardless of when it was first proposed, as long as it can be potentially relevant to miniature platforms.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) has the advantages of high throughput (simultaneous detection of multiple ions), high separation efficiency (higher than 105 theoretical plates) and rapid analysis capability (less than 5 min for common inorganic ions). A compact CE-C4D system is ideal for water quality control and on-site analysis. It is suitable not only for common cations (e.g. Na+, K+, Li+, NH4+, Ca2+, etc.) and anions (e.g. Cl-, SO42-, BrO3-, etc.) but also for some ions (e.g. lanthanide ions, Pb2+, Cd2+, etc.) that require complex derivatization procedures to be detected by ion chromatography (IC). However, an obvious limitation of the CE-C4D method is that its sensitivity (e.g. 0.3-1 μM for common inorganic ions) is often insufficient for trace analysis (e.g. 1 ppb or 20 nM level for common inorganic ions) without preconcentration. For this technology to become a powerful and routine analytical technique, the system should be made compact while maintaining trace analysis sensitivity. In this study, we developed an all-in-one version of the CE-C4D instrument with custom-made modular components to make it a convenient, compact and high-performance system. The system was designed using direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology to generate programmable sinusoidal waveforms with any frequency for excitation, a kilovolt high-voltage power supply for capillary electrophoresis separation, and an "effective" differential C4D cell with a low-noise circuitry for high-sensitivity detection. We characterized the system with different concentrations of Cs+, and even a low concentration of 20 nM was detectable without preconcentration. Moreover, the optimized CE-C4D setup was applied to analyse mixed ions at a trace concentration of 200 nM with excellent signal-to-noise ratios. In typical applications, the limits of detection based on the 3σ criterion (without baseline filtering) were 9, 10, 24, 5, and 12 nM for K+, Cs+, Li+, Ca2+, and Mg2+, respectively, and about 7, 6, 6 and 6 nM for Br-, ClO4-, BrO3- and SO42-, respectively. Finally, the setup was also applied for the analysis of all 14 lanthanide ions and rare-earth minerals, and it showed an improvement in sensitivity by more than 25 times.

Abstract
Drug binding to plasma proteins influences processes such as liberation, adsorption, disposition, metabolism, and elimination of drugs, which are thus one of the key steps of a new drug development. As a result, the characterization of drug-protein interactions is an essential part of these time- and money-consuming processes. It is important to determine not only the binding strength and the stoichiometry of interaction, but also the binding site of a drug on a protein molecule, because two drugs with the same binding site can mutually affect free drug concentration. Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis with mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis is one of the most used affinity capillary electrophoresis methods for the characterization of these interactions. In this study, a well-known sensitivity problem of most capillary electrophoresis-frontal analyses using ultraviolet detection is solved by its combination with contactless conductivity detection, which provided sixfold lower limits of quantitation and detection. Binding parameters of the human serum albumin-salicylic acid model affinity pair were evaluated by this newly developed approach and by the classical approach with ultraviolet detection primarily used for their mutual comparison. The results of both approaches agreed well and are also in agreement with literature data obtained using different techniques.

Abstract
现有自由流电泳(FFE)装置因不具备在线检测功能,其实用性仍然存在明显不足。针对这一问题,该工作发展了一种多通道电容耦合式非接触电导检测(MC-C4D)装置并开发了自动测量软件。MC-C4D装置采用了并行分时的非接触电导检测技术,即由多个同样的非接触电导检测模块并行排列,而单个电导检测模块又由多个非接触电导检测池组成,采用模拟开关切换这些检测池,能够分时检测流经相应检测池溶液的电导率。多个电导检测模块的检测池总数等于FFE的组分数,它们分别串行接入到FFE各流路中,这样MC-C4D装置就可在线并行分时在线测量各组分溶液的电导率。为验证所设计MC-C4D装置的检测性能,采用配制的氯化钾标准溶液作为检测对象对MC-C4D装置进行了标定和测试。实验数据表明,MC-C4D装置电导率检测范围为0.015~2.5 mS/cm,检出限(LOD)为0.002 mS/cm,日内相对标准偏差(RSD, n=3)为2.31%,测量相对误差(RE)为3.03%和通道间测量相对偏差为1.60%,这些参数表明该装置检测范围较大,LOD低,重复性好,准确性高,通道间测量相对偏差小。另外,将MC-C 4D装置应用于往复式自由流等电聚焦电泳(RFFIEF)在蛋白质聚焦过程中对各组分溶液电导率进行实时在线检测,结果表明,所开发的MC-C4D装置不仅可实现对FFE各组分溶液电导率的实时在线检测,而且还可在RFFIEF实验中辅助掌握分离的实验进度,提高FFE装置的实用性。

Abstract
The acquisition of nutrient data on a precise scale has played a vital role in nutrient management processes for soils. However, the lack of rapid precise and multi-index detection techniques for soil macronutrient contents hinders both rational fertilization and cost reduction. In this paper, a rapid detection method and device were devised, combining capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D), and presented to detect macronutrient contents of soil. The device consisted of a capillary channel, C4D detector, high-voltage system, etc. It separated macronutrient ions using capillary electrophoresis and then measured the ion concentration based on the C4D principle. Lime concretion black soil samples from a complete field were collected and detected. NO3−, NH4+, H2PO4− and K+ in sample solutions could be detected in 5 min with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 1.0 to 7.51%. The injection voltage was set to 10 kV for 5 s, and the separation voltage was set to 14 kV. This demonstrated the excellent performance of the C4D device on the detection of soil macronutrients, which could help to guide fertilization operations more effectively.

Abstract
Aside from HPLC and GC, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the most important techniques for high-performance separations in modern analytical chemistry. Its main advantages are the possibility of using different detection techniques, the possibility of in-capillary sample processing for preconcentration or derivatization, and ease of instrumental miniaturization down to the microfluidic scale. Those features are utilized in the separation of macromolecules in biochemistry and in genetic investigations, but they can be also used in determinations of inorganic ions in water analysis. This review, based on about 100 original research works, presents applications of CE methods in water analysis reported in recent decade, mostly regarding conductivity detection or indirect UV detection. The developed applications include analysis of high salinity sea waters, as well as analysis of other surface waters and drinking waters.

Abstract
In situ missions of exploration require analytical methods that are capable of detecting a wide range of molecular targets in complex matrices without a priori assumptions of sample composition. Furthermore, these methods should minimize the number of reagents needed and any sample preparation steps. We have developed a method for the detection of metabolically relevant inorganic and organic anions that is suitable for implementation on in situ spaceflight missions. Using 55 mM acetic acid, 50 mM triethylamine, and 5% glycerol, more than 21 relevant anions are separated in less than 20 min. The method is robust to sample ionic strength, tolerating high concentrations of background salts (up to 900 mM NaCl and 300 mM MgSO4 ). This is an important feature for future missions to ocean worlds. The method was validated using a culture of Escherichia coli and with high salinity natural samples collected from Mono Lake, California.

Abstract
This work introduces new hardware configurations for a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4 D) based on capacitance-to-digital conversion (CDC) technology for CE. The aim was to improve sensitivity, handling, price, and portability of CDC-based C4 D detectors (CDCD) to reach LODs similar to classic C4 Ds with more sophisticated electric circuits. To achieve this, a systematic study on the CDCDs was carried out including a direct comparison to already established C4 D setups. Instrumental setups differing in electrode lengths, measurement modes, and amplification of excitation voltages were investigated to achieve LODs for alkali metal ions of 4 to 12 μM, similar to LODs obtained by classic C4 D setups. Lowest LODs were achieved for a setup with two 10 mm electrodes at a distance of 0.2 mm and an excitation voltage of 24 V. The detection head was exceptionally lightweight with only 2.6 g and covered only 20 mm of the capillary on total. This allowed the use of multiple detectors along the separation path to enable spatial tracking of analytes during separation. The entirely battery-powered detector assembly weighs less than 200 g, and the data are transmitted wirelessly for possible portable applications. The freely accessible hardware and software were optimized for fully automated measurements with real time data plotting and allowed handling multidetector setups. The new developments were applied to quantify the potassium salt of glyphosate in its herbicide formulation.

Abstract
Seventeen inorganic and organic anions, that normally are insufficiently separated via ion chromatography, were completely separated by the addition of an organic solvent to a solution of BGE combined with an adjustment of the apparent pH via CE in combination with indirect UV absorbance detection. Methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile were examined for their utility in manipulating the selective separation of anions. Methanol and acetonitrile were better modifiers than ethanol at enhancing the resolution of anions comigrating in an aqueous solution of BGE. Methanol was selected as the modifier that provided the largest separation window that could achieve a complete separation of the target analytes. Via the use of methanol, manipulation of the selectivity between inorganic anions and that between inorganic and organic anions was enhanced, but the separation between organic anions remained difficult when only methanol was used. By varying the apparent pH of the BGE in the presence of 10% v/v methanol, however, the separation selectivity between organic anions was substantially improved. Eventually, 7 inorganic and 10 organic anions were simultaneously separated using BGE at a pH of 6.3 in the presence of 10% v/v methanol.

Abstract
Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a separation technique that hybridizes liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). The selectivity offered by LC stationary phase results in rapid separations, high efficiency, high selectivity, minimal analyte and buffer consumption. Chip-based CE and CEC separation techniques are also gaining interest, as the microchip can provide precise on-chip control over the experiment. Capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) offers the contactless electrode configuration, and thus is not in contact with the solutions under investigation. This prevents contamination, so it can be easy to use as well as maintain. This study investigated a chip-based CE/CEC with C4D technique, including silicon-based microfluidic device fabrication processes with packaging, design and optimization. It also examined the compatibility of the silicon-based CEC microchip interfaced with C4D. In this paper, the authors demonstrated a nanofabrication technique for a novel microchip electrochromatography (MEC) device, whose capability is to be used as a mobile analytical equipment. This research investigated using samples of potassium ions, sodium ions and aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

Abstract
This review summarizes the progress in open tubular ion chromatography (OTIC) over the period from 1981 to 2020. Although OTIC columns provide superior column efficiency, require very little sample volumes, and consume a minimum level of eluents compared to regular packed columns, not many reports can be found from the literature mainly due to the difficulties in the preparation of OTIC columns and the harsh system requirements, such as pL-nL injections and extremely small detection volumes. However, technical advances, e.g., capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors (C4Ds), hydroxide eluent compatible polymer-based OTIC columns, electrodialytic capillary suppressors, and nanovolume gas-free hydroxide eluent generators (EGs), have removed the obstacles to OTIC. As such, in this review, the author focused on the development of the key components in an OTIC system from the perspective of instrument development. A brief revisit of open tubular (OT) column theory is first presented, followed by a discussion of the system configuration and component development. Attention is given to the advances in the development of the suppressed open tubular ion chromatography (SOTIC) system.

Abstract
In this work, the design and characterization of a multi-cell capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection system are described. The operation and simultaneous acquisition from 3 detector cells are demonstrated, however, the system is capable of supplying 8 detection cells and can be easily upgraded to maintain 64 capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection cells. On performing flow-injection analysis, the system recorded as low as 0.01 mM of acetic acid, phosphoric acid, NaH2PO4, and Na2B4O7 solutions in water. The instrument was also capable of recording and distinguishing different mixtures of organic solvents: (a) methanol-acetonitrile, (b) hexane-acetone. The designed detection system is expected to be used coupled with multi-channel separation devices for monitoring simultaneous processes.

Zimmermann J, Distler T, Boccaccini AR, van Rienen U. Numerical Simulations as Means for Tailoring Electrically Conductive Hydrogels Towards Cartilage Tissue Engineering by Electrical Stimulation. Molecules 2020; 25:E4750. [PMID: 33081205 PMCID: PMC7587583 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25204750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Cartilage regeneration is a clinical challenge. In recent years, hydrogels have emerged as implantable scaffolds in cartilage tissue engineering. Similarly, electrical stimulation has been employed to improve matrix synthesis of cartilage cells, and thus to foster engineering and regeneration of cartilage tissue. The combination of hydrogels and electrical stimulation may pave the way for new clinical treatment of cartilage lesions. To find the optimal electric properties of hydrogels, theoretical considerations and corresponding numerical simulations are needed to identify well-suited initial parameters for experimental studies. We present the theoretical analysis of a hydrogel in a frequently used electrical stimulation device for cartilage regeneration and tissue engineering. By means of equivalent circuits, finite element analysis, and uncertainty quantification, we elucidate the influence of the geometric and dielectric properties of cell-seeded hydrogels on the capacitive-coupling electrical field stimulation. Moreover, we discuss the possibility of cellular organisation inside the hydrogel due to forces generated by the external electric field. The introduced methodology is easily reusable by other researchers and allows to directly develop novel electrical stimulation study designs. Thus, this study paves the way for the design of future experimental studies using electrically conductive hydrogels and electrical stimulation for tissue engineering.

Abstract
The developments of analytical contactless conductivity measurements based on capacitive coupling over the two years from mid-2018 to mid-2020 are covered. This mostly concerns applications of the technique in zone electrophoresis employing conventional capillaries and to a lesser extent lab-on-chip devices. However, its use for the detection in several other flow-based analytical methods has also been reported. Detection of bubbles and measurements of flow rates in two-phase flows are also recurring themes. A few new applications in stagnant aqueous samples, e.g. endpoint detection in titrations and measurement on paper-based devices, have been reported. Some variations of the design of the measuring cells and their read-out electronics have also been described.

Abstract
Silver ions (Ag+) have been proposed as a biocide to treat the water in NASA's next generation of human space exploration vehicles/habitats. One advantage of Ag+ is that it is effective as a biocide in a range (200 to 500 ppb) safe for human consumption. So, monitoring Ag+ is essential to ensure the safety and health of the crew. Here we present two analytical methods based on capillary electrophoresis and capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) to address the need to monitor Ag+ levels in water. Using 5 M acetic acid as a background electrolyte (BGE), 100 ppb of Ag+ could be detected in a simulant of the International Space Station (ISS) water. In addition to Ag+, other inorganic cations (K+, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) frequently found in the ISS potable water can be detected simultaneously using this BGE in less than 4.5 min. By using a BGE composed of 0.5 M acetic acid, levels of Ag+ as low as 25 ppb could be detected in the ISS water simulant in less than 2.5 min. Although in this condition none of the other cations interfered with the detection of Ag+, some of them co-migrated, which could prevent obtaining additional information about the sample composition.

Abstract
We report capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) of proteins separated by microfluidic capillary isoelectric focusing (μCIEF). To elucidate the evolution of negative conductivity peaks during focusing and seek IEF conditions for sensitive conductivity detection, numerical simulation was performed using a model protein GFP (green fluorescence protein) and hypothetical carrier ampholytes (CAs). C4D was successfully applied to the μCIEF by optimizing assay conditions using a simple and effective pressure-mobilization approach. The conductivity and fluorescence signals of a focused GFP band were co-detected, confirming that the obtained negative C4D peak could be attributed to the actual protein, not the non-uniform background conductivity profile of the focused CAs. GFP concentrations of 10 nM-30 μM was quantified with a detection limit of 10 nM. Finally, the resolving power was analyzed by separating a mixture of R-phycoerythrin (pI 5.01), GFP-F64L (pI 5.48), and RK-GFP (pI 6.02). The conductivities of the three separated fluorescence proteins were measured with average separation resolution of 2.06. We expect the newly developed label-free μCIEF-C4D technique to be widely adopted as a portable, electronics-only protein-analysis tool.

Abstract
This work presents a new dual-purpose detector for photometric and conductivity measurements in flow-based analysis. The photometric detector is a paired emitter-detector diode (PEDD) device, whilst the conductivity detection employs a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4D). The flow-through detection cell is a rectangular acrylic block (ca. 2 × 2 × 1.5 cm) with cylindrical channels in Z-configuration. For the PEDD detector, the LED light source and detector are installed inside the acrylic block. The two electrodes of the C4D are silver conducting ink painted on the PEEK inlet and outlet tubing of the Z-flow cell. The dual-purpose detector is coupled with a sequential injection analysis (SIA) system for simultaneous detection of the absorbance of the orange dye and conductivity of the dissolved oral rehydration salt powder. The detector was also used for sequential measurements of creatinine and the conductivity of human urine samples. The creatinine analysis is based on colorimetric detection of the Jaffé reaction using the PEDD detector, and the conductivity of the urine, as measured by the C4D detector, is expressed in millisiemens (mS cm-1).

Abstract
A flexible wireless dielectric sensor is presented here for noninvasively monitoring the permittivity and conductivity of fluids, based on resistor–inductor–capacitor (RLC) resonant circuit and capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) technique. The RLC sensor consists of one single-turn inductor and one interdigital capacitor. The resonant frequency of the device is sensitive to the surrounding environment, thanks to the electric field leaked out between the interdigital capacitor electrodes. Through the high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) simulation, and experiments on ethanol/water solutions and NaCl solutions, it was confirmed that a fluid’s permittivity and conductivity could be detected by the return loss curve (S11). With great repeatability and stability, the proposed sensor has potential for broad applications, especially in wearable low-cost smart devices.

Abstract
This work presents a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4D) etched out from a printed circuit board (PCB) as potential sensor for paper-based analytical systems. Two lines of any desirable pattern forming 35-μm thick planar copper electrodes were produced on a PCB plate (40 mm × 60 mm) by photolithography. The final PCB plate was covered with polypropylene film to serve as the insulating layer for the C4D detector. The film also protected the copper electrodes from corrosion. Electrodes made in this planar geometry make the PCB-C4D suitable as sensor for flat devices such as paper-based analytical devices. For this work, plain paper strips were employed as sample reservoir and as fluidic channel without hydrophobic pattern. A dried paper strip was first placed over the sensor, followed by dispensing a fixed volume of the liquid sample onto the paper. Entrapment of the liquid sample in the paper strip leads to reproducible size and position of the detection zone of the sample liquid for the capacitive coupling effect. High precision was obtained with %RSD ≤1% (n = 18) for standard solutions of KCl. Soil suspensions could be analyzed without prior filtration by placing a drop onto the paper strip extending away from the detector zone. The paper strip filtered out soil particles at the surface of the paper. Therefore, only soil filtrate moved towards the detection zone by lateral flow. The C4D detection using paper strip showed high tolerance to soil suspension with turbidity up to 6657 NTU, offering direct analysis of soil salinity. Cleaning with moist tissue paper between samples is adequate even for dirty samples such as soil suspension. We also monitored conductivity of acid-base reaction in the microfluidic paper channels, which was later applied to the quantification of bicarbonate in water and in antacid tablet ("Soda Mint Tablet").

Abstract
In recent years, advances in sensitive analytical techniques have encouraged the analysis of various compounds in biological fluids. While blood serum, blood plasma and urine still remain the golden standards in clinical, toxicological and forensic science, analyses of other body fluids, such as breast milk, exhaled breath condensate, sweat, saliva, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, or capillary blood in form of dried blood spots are becoming more popular. This review article focuses on capillary electrophoresis and microchip electrophoresis of small ions and molecules (e.g. inorganic cations/anions, basic/acidic drugs, small acids/bases, amino acids, peptides and other low molecular weight analytes) in various less conventional human body fluids and hopes to stimulate further interest in the field.

Abstract
A method of capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection has been developed for non-enantioselective monitoring the anaesthetic ketamine and its main metabolite norketamine. The separation is performed in a 15 μm capillary with an overall length of 31.5 cm and length to detector of 18 cm; inner surface of the capillary is covered with a commercial coating solution to reduce the electroosmotic flow. In an optimised background electrolyte with composition 2 M acetic acid + 1% v/v coating solution under application of a high voltage of 30 kV, the migration time is 97.1 s for ketamine and 95.8 s for norketamine, with an electrophoretic resolution of 1.2. The attained detection limit was 83 ng/mL (0.3 μmol/L) for ketamine and 75 ng/mL (0.3 μmol/L) for norketamine; the number of theoretic plates for separation of an equimolar model mixture with a concentration of 2 μg/mL was 683 500 plates/m for ketamine and 695 400 plates/m for norketamine. Laboratory preparation of rat blood plasma is based on mixing 10 μL of plasma with 30 μL of acidified acetonitrile, followed by centrifugation. A pharmacokinetic study demonstrated an exponential decrease in the plasma concentration of ketamine after intravenous application and much slower kinetics for intraperitoneal application.

Abstract
Two methods of capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection have been developed for monitoring the levels of glucose and lactate in clinical samples. The separations are performed in uncoated fused silica capillaries with inner diameter 10 or 20 μm, total length 31.5 cm, length to detector 18 cm, using an Agilent electrophoretic instrument with an integrated contactless conductivity detector. Glucose is determined in optimized background electrolyte, 50 mM NaOH with pH 12.6 and 2-deoxyglucose is used as an internal standard; the determination of lactate is performed in 40 mM CHES/NaOH with pH 9.4 and lithium cations as an internal standard. Both substances are determined in minimal volumes of (1) nutrient media after cell incubation, and (2) microdialysates of human adipose tissue; after dilution and filtration as the only treatment of the sample. The migration time of glucose is 2.5 min and that of lactate is 1.5 min with detection limits at the micromolar concentration level. The developed techniques are suitable for sequential monitoring of glucose and lactate over time during metabolic experiments.

Abstract
In this work, citrate-capped gold-nanoparticles (citrate-AuNPs) have been firstly used for selective extraction of trace polyamines, putrescine (Put) and cadaverine (Cad), followed by field-amplified sample stacking (FASS) coupled with capillary electrophoresis and capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (FASS-CE-C4D). Put and Cad were extracted by electrostatic attractions between the amine group of the polyamines and the citrate ligands adsorbed on the surfaces of AuNPs. AuNPs microextraction (AuNPs-ME) effectively shortened preparation time (50 min) by introducing ultrasound, and the required sample extraction volume was only 1 mL. Furthermore, a synergistic enrichment strategy based on off-line AuNPs-ME and on-line FASS significantly improved the detection sensitivity, making the enrichment factors up to 1726-1887 times. Under the optimum conditions, Put and Cad could be well separated from the potential coexisting substances and then directly determined by CE-C4D without derivatization. Due to its low sample consumption, high sensitivity (LODs: 0.070-0.17 ng mL-1), and acceptable recoveries (90-105%), this AuNPs-ME/FASS-CE-C4D method provides a rapid, economical and eco-friendly approach for direct determination of polyamines in human exhaled breath condensate, and has potential application prospects in preliminary noninvasive diagnosis of oral and respiratory inflammation.

Microchip electrophoresis based multiplexed assay for silver and mercury ions simultaneous detection in complex samples using a stirring bar modified with encoded hairpin probes for specific extraction. J Chromatogr A 2019; 1589:173-181.

Abstract
It is crucially important to rapidly, simultaneously, and sensitively determine trace amounts of heavy metal ions in complex samples. Herein, a stirring bar modified with two kinds of encoded hairpin DNA probes (H0 and H0') was used in a multiplexed strategy allowing for specific extraction of Hg2+ and Ag+ coupled to microchip electrophoresis (MCE) separation and LED induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. The extraction step utilizes stir bars, which are functionalized with designed hairpin DNA probes (H0 with TT and H0' with CC mismatches in stems). This allows the specific capture of Hg2+ and Ag+ through CAg+C and THg2+T interactions. These complexes are then enzymatically degraded by the action of exonuclease III (Exo III). The ions released during this enzymatic reaction can initiate a new cycle of interactions with hairpin structures and enzymatic reactions and so on. This cyclic step is specific to the presence of Hg2+ and Ag+ and represents the first round of amplification of the presence of the selected ions. The resulting single strand DNAs on the stirring bars after enzymatic degradation were used in the second step as primers to trigger the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) in the presence of a couple of hairpin structures in solution. Such a reaction allows producing duplexes that can be monitored by MCE-LIF. The fluorescence intensity of CHA products (IP) increased and that of hairpin DNAs (IR) decreased with the increase of target concentrations. The signal ratios (IP/IR and IP'/IR') consisted of targets. The assay was employed for Hg2+ and Ag+ detection in several mediums including water, milk, and fish samples with complex matrices. The results showed that the assay could avoid matrix interference to increase the sensitivity. Therefore, the multiplexed assay was ideal to simultaneously and quickly detect metal ions in complex samples.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with contactless conductivity detection (C4D) represents a strong tool for determining amino acids in clinical samples. This chapter provides detailed instructions for CE/C4D determination of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) valine, isoleucine, and leucine in human plasma, which can be readily employed in physiological studies. Baseline separation of all the BCAAs is achieved on a short separation length equal to 18 cm in optimized background electrolyte consisting of 3.2 M acetic acid dissolved in 20% v/v methanol with addition of 1.0% v/v INST-coating solution. The analysis time does not exceed 3 min and the limit of detection is 0.4 μM for all BCAAs. The pretreatment of human plasma is very simple and is based on fourfold plasma dilution by acetonitrile and subsequent filtration. Only 50 μL of plasma is used for the analysis. The high sensitivity of the CE/C4D method is achieved by injecting a large volume of sample, combined with application of negative pressure to flush the acetonitrile zone out of the capillary.

Abstract
The publications concerning capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection for the 2-year period from mid-2016 to mid-2018 are covered in this update to the earlier reviews of the series. Relatively few reports on fundamental investigations or new designs have appeared in the literature in this time interval, but the development of new applications with the detection method has continued strongly. Most often, contactless conductivity measurements have been employed for the detection of inorganic or small organic ions in conventional capillary electrophoresis, less often in microchip electrophoresis. A number of other uses, such as detection in chromatography or the gauging of bubbles in streams have also been reported.

Abstract
An improved method for the concurrent determination and separation of cations and anions by microchip electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (ME-C4 D) is described. Two kinds of microchip structures were designed. The first microchip has a long bent separation channel. And for the defects of the first microchip, the second microchip with a Y-type separation channel has been proposed. The background electrolyte (BGE) composed of 20 mm His/MES and 0.01 mm CTAB was optimized for inhibiting the electroosmotic flow (EOF). Due to the low electroosmotic flow, the cations and anions migrate in opposite directions and can be separated from each other. With the precisely controlled high-voltage, cations and anions can be migrated in microchannels according to our requirements and sequentially detected by a C4 D detector built in-house. Samples containing K+ , Na+ , Li+ , Cl- , F- and PO43- were analyzed simultaneously in a single run (within 140 s) by both methods. The reproducibility obtained by both methods remained below 5% for migration time and within 3.5-9.1% for peak areas. The proposed concurrent determination methods are inexpensive, simple, fast, ease of operation, high degree of integration.

Abstract
The review brings a comprehensive overview of recent developments and applications of high performance capillary and microchip electroseparation methods (zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography) to analysis, microscale isolation, purification, and physicochemical and biochemical characterization of peptides in the years 2015, 2016, and ca. up to the middle of 2017. Advances in the investigation of electromigration properties of peptides and in the methodology of their analysis (sample preseparation, preconcentration and derivatization, adsorption suppression and EOF control, and detection) are described. New developments in particular CE and CEC methods are presented and several types of their applications to peptide analysis are reported: qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex (bio)matrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid, sequence and chiral analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some micropreparative peptide separations are shown and capabilities of CE and CEC methods to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.
