Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 191:113387. [PMID: 34146970 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
This study first reported enzyme-free impedimetric biosensor-based molecularly imprinted polymers for selective and sensitive determination of L-hydroxyproline (L-hyp), a biomarker for the early diagnosis of bone diseases. In recent study, utilizing a single 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) to create imprinted surfaces could result in a strong interaction and difficulty in removal of a template molecule. Hence, a mixture of monomer solution containing 3-APBA and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) in the presence of the L-hyp molecule was co-electropolymerized onto the screen-printed electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV) to eradicate this mentioned limitation. The detection principle of this sensor is relied on alteration of mediator's charge transfer resistance (Rct) that could be obstructed by L-hyp occupied in imprinted surface. The successfully fabricated biosensor was explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and confocal scanning microscopy. Furthermore, the effect of polymer composition on the Rct response was systematically investigated. The result exhibited that the mixture of monomers could provide the highest change of Rct due to high selectivity from esterification of 3-APBA and from hydrogen bond of OPD surrounding the template. The sensor showed a significant increase in Rct in the presence of L-hyp, whereas no observable resistance change was detected in the absence thereof. The calibration curve was obtained in the range from 0.4 to 25 μg mL-1 with limits of detection (3SDblank/Slope) and quantification (10SDblank/Slope) of 0.13 and 0.42 μg mL-1, respectively. This biosensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity and was successfully applied to determine L-hyp in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Human urine plays a central role in clinical diagnostic being one of the most-frequently used body fluid for detection of biological markers. Samples from patients with different diseases display patterns of biomarkers that differ significantly from those obtained from healthy subjects. The availability of fast, reproducible, and easy-to-apply analytical techniques that would allow identification of a large number of these analytes is thus highly desiderable since they may provide detailed information about the progression of a pathological process. From among the variety of methods so far applied for the determination of urinary metabolites, capillary electrophoresis, both in the capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) modes, represents a robust and reliable analytical tool widely used in this area. The aim of the present article is to focus the interest of the reader on recent applications of MEKC and CZE in the field of urinary biomarkers and to discuss advantages and/or limitations of each mode.

Abstract
The precapillary derivatization of 20 amino acids with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) and CN(-) was investigated. All these derivatized amino acids could be oxidized on the carbon fiber microdisk bundle electrode except proline. Capillary zone electrophoresis with electrochemical detection was employed for the analysis of 19 amino acids. The optimum conditions of separation and detection were borate, pH 9.48, for the electrolyte, 18 kV for the separation voltage and 1.15 V versus a saturated calomel electrode for the detection potential. Limits of detection of concentration or mass for individual amino acids were between 1.7 x 10(-7) and 1.8 x 10(-6) mol/L or 84 and 893 amol (according to the signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for the injection voltage of 6 kV and injection time of 10 s. The relative standard deviations were between 0.80 and 2.3% for the migration times and 1.4 and 6.4% for the electrophoretic peak currents. From a mixture of 19 amino acids, 10 amino acids (Arg, Lys, Orn, Try, Ser, Ala, Gly, Cys, Glu, Asp) could be well separated. The other 9 amino acids appeared on three electrophoretic peaks. From the samples, in which the nine amino acids do not exist simultaneously, some of them could also be detected. The method was applied to the determination of amino acids in beer by the standard addition method. The recovery for the amino acids in beer was 91-109%.

Abstract
A new micelle capillary electrophoresis based on cyclodextrin micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) for the determination of bisphenol A and 10 alkylphenols in rat serum is reported. Several surfactants and dextrins were studied. Bisphenol A and alkylphenols were separated using a 50 microm x 50 cm capillary with 20 mM borate phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) containing 20 mM sodium dodecylsulfate and 5 mM gamma-cyclodextrin as carrier. The method could determine 0.6-2000 microg/mL of phenols in 100 microL serum by photometric detection at 214 nm. Using 2.0 mL serum, 1.0 ng/mL of phenols could be determined. The relative standards deviations were 6.3-7.7% at 10 microg/mL in serum. The recoveries were 91.8-93.0% with 10 microg/mL serum samples.

Abstract
One of the weak points of capillary electrophoresis is the need to implement rigorously sample pretreatment because its great impact on the quality of the qualitative and quantitative results provided. One of the approaches to solve this problem is through the symbiosis of automatic continuous flow systems (CFSs) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). In this review a systematic approach to CFS-CE coupling is presented and discussed. The design of the corresponding interface depends on three factors, namely: (a) the characteristics of the CFS involved which can be non-chromatographic and chromatographic; (b) the type of CE equipment: laboratory-made or commercially available; and (c) the type of connection which can be in-line (on-capillary), on-line or mixed off/on-line. These are the basic criteria to qualify the hyphenation of CFS (solid-phase extraction, dialysis, gas diffusion, evaporation, direct leaching) with CE described so far and applied to determine a variety of analytes in many different types of samples. A critical discussion allows one to demonstrate that this symbiosis is an important topic in research and development, besides separation and detection, to consolidate CE as a routine analytical tool.

Abstract
In this report, we describe a surfactant-mediated electrokinetic capillary chromatography (SM-EKC) system for the separation of 9-fluoroenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC)-derivatized anilines by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The SM-EKC system consisted of dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DOSS)/acetonitrile mixtures and was suited for the CE separation of the relatively hydrophobic FMOC-aniline analytes and other neutral compounds, e.g. alkylphenyl ketones. While the organic modifier acetonitrile (ACN) allowed the solubilization of the hydrophobic solutes and maintained the DOSS surfactant in its monomeric form by inhibiting micellization, the DOSS surfactant associated with the FMOC anilines to a varying degree thus leading to their differential migration and separation. Under these conditions, the FMOC-anilines were readily detected at the 10(-6) M level by UV at 214 nm and at the 10(-8) M level by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) using a solid-state UV laser operating at 266 nm line as the excitation wavelength. The FMOC precolumn derivatization was also readily performed in lake water spiked with anilines at near the limit of detection (LOD) level. The lake water matrix showed no significant effects on the extent of derivatization at the LOD level as well as on the detection of the analytes due to the selectivity of the FMOC derivatization. The derivatization and detection of spiked lake water necessitated only the removal of microparticles by microfiltration prior to derivatization and detection.

Abstract
On-column derivatization and capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection has been developed for the fully automated assay of homocysteine and other thiols. The unique feature of this CE technique comes from the direct injection of a sample including homocysteine, enabling the derivatization with 4-aminosulfonyl-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadizole (ABD-F) to be accomplished in the capillary. After the derivatization for 10 min at 50 degrees C, the homocysteine was analyzed within 7 min under an applied electric field of 333 V cm(-1). The detection limit obtained for homocysteine with on-column LIF detection was 5.0 nM, as compared to 2.5 nM with pre-column LIF detection. The method is a very simple, fast, and practical approach for the fully automated assay of homocysteine and other thiols contained in low-volume and low-concentration samples.

Abstract
Since the introduction of the first commercial capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument a decade ago, CE applications have become widespread. Today, CE is a versatile analytical technique which is successfully used for the separation of small ions, neutral molecules, and large biomolecules and for the study of physicochemical parameters. It is being utilized in widely different fields, such as analytical chemistry, forensic chemistry, clinical chemistry, organic chemistry, natural products, pharmaceutical industry, chiral separations, molecular biology, and others. It is not only used as a separation technique but to answer physicochemical questions. In this review, we will discuss different modes of CE such as capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, and capillary electrochromatography, and will comment on the future direction of CE, including array capillary electrophoresis and array microchip separations.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the suitable separation techniques used to analyze drugs or metabolites in complicated sample matrices such as plasma, serum and urine. It sometimes requires only a simple process of sample pretreatment, deproteinization, dilution or extraction for biological fluids, otherwise no pretreatment is necessary. Various metabolic disorders concerning the compounds which possess carboxyl groups such as organic acids have been monitored by CE. Drug metabolism in the body can be monitored by the same technique. Recent publications suggest the feasibility of an automated system for diagnosis based on CE technique.

Abstract
Laser-induced native fluorescence detection with a KrF excimer laser (lambda=248 nm) was used to investigate the capillary electrophoretic (CE) profiles of human urine, saliva and serum without the need for sample derivatization. All separations were carried out in sodium phosphate and/or sodium tetraborate buffers at alkaline pH in a 50-microm I.D. capillary. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was added to the buffer for micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) analysis of human urine. Although inherently a pulsed source, the KrF excimer laser was operated at a high pulse repetition rate of 553, 1001 or 2009 Hz to simulate a continuous wave excitation source. Detection limits were found to vary with pulse rate, as expected, in proportion to average excitation power. The following detection limits (3sigma) were determined in free solution CE: tryptophan, 4 nM; conalbumin, 10 nM; alpha-lactalbumin, 30 nM. Detection limits for indole-based compounds and catecholamine urinary metabolites under MEKC separation conditions were in the range 7-170 nM.

Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) represents a branching point between the transsulfuration and transmethylation pathway of methionine. A large increase of plasma concentration of Hcy is observed in patients with inherited hyperhomocysteinemia. A moderated increase (above 10 microM) is also observed in various pathological conditions, such as arterial occlusion, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and chronic renal failure. While amino acids were largely studied using capillary electrophoresis with UV or laser-induced fluorescence detection (LIF), thiol-amino acids were not. In this work we present a new approach for testing homocysteine in human plasma using CE-LIF and fluorescein isothiocyanate. The low fluorescence yield of the fluorescein thiocarbamyl (FTC) thiol-amino acids limits, probably, the sensitivity of the detection to 8 x 10(-10) M (instead of 10(-12) M for FTC-arginine).

Abstract
In recent years capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been developed into a versatile separation technique, next to gas and liquid chromatography (LC), well suited for the determination of a wide variety of e.g., pharmaceutical, biomedical and environmental samples. The main advantages of CE over chromatographic separation techniques are its simplicity and efficiency. It is well recognized, however, that the sensitivity and selectivity of the detection are relatively weak points of CE. One way to overcome these limitations is the conversion (derivatization) of the analytes into product(s) with more favourable detection characteristics. Although, in principle, almost any detection mode can be combined with a derivatization procedure, in practice, fluorescence monitoring is favoured in most cases. This paper aims to give a short overview on the various reagents that can be used for pre-, post- and on-column derivatization in CE. First, a short introduction is given on CE as an analytical technique, followed by a discussion of the pros and cons of the various modes of derivatization, a comparison of derivatizations in CE with derivatizations in LC, the principles of fluorescence and prerequisites for a good fluorophore and the potential of using diode lasers in combination with a labelling procedure. With respect to the derivatization reagents the emphasis is on the labelling of amino, aldehyde, keto, carboxyl, hydroxyl and sulfhydryl groups.

Abstract
The use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for clinically relevant assays is attractive since it often presents many advantages over contemporary methods. The small-diameter tubing that holds the separation medium has led to the development of multicapillary instruments, and simultaneous sample analysis. Furthermore, CE is compatible with a wide range of detectors, including UV-Vis, fluorescence, laser-induced fluorescence, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, radiometric, and more recently nuclear magnetic resonance, and laser-induced circular dichroism systems. Selection of an appropriate detector can yield highly specific analyte detection with good mass sensitivity. Another attractive feature of CE is the low consumption of sample and reagents. However, it is paradoxical that this advantage also leads to severe limitation, namely poor concentration sensitivity. Often high analyte concentrations are required in order to have injection of sufficient material for detection. In this regard, a series of devices that are broadly termed 'analyte concentrators' have been developed for analyte preconcentration on-line with the CE capillary. These devices have been used primarily for non-specific analyte preconcentration using packing material of the C18 type. Alternatively, the use of very specific antibody-containing cartridges and enzyme-immobilized microreactors have been demonstrated. In the current report, we review the likely impact of the technology of capillary electrophoresis and the role of the CE analyte concentrator-microreactor on the analysis of biomolecules, present on complex matrices, in a clinical laboratory. Specific examples of the direct analysis of physiologically-derived fluids and microdialysates are presented, and a personal view of the future of CE in the clinical environment is given.

Abstract
The phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) derivatives of 3- and 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) were separated using micellar electrokinetic capillary electrophoresis (MEKC). The separation protocol was also used to determine Hyp content of bovine skeletal perimysial collagen preparations and whole muscle samples. Amino acids from hydrolyzed tissues were labeled using a two step procedure that involved initial reaction with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) to modify primary amines followed by their precipitation under acidic conditions. In the second step, imino acids were reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC). This labeling method was rapid and the Hyp values determined in these biological samples were found to be in close agreement with conventional methods and other published reports.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay for a urinary hydroxyproline-containing peptide (hydroxy-proline peptide, HypP) is described. This peptide represents about 50% of urinary hydroxyproline-containing peptides. Its concentration and total 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) concentration evaluated in 325 urine samples have been shown to be closely correlated (r = 0.972; y = 0.499 x -1.5), which may indicate that the two markers provide the same information. The HypP assay, similar to Hyp assay, is carried out without hydrolysis of urine samples. After the blocking of primary amino acids by o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) and derivatization of secondary amino acids by 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-CI), the FMOC derivatives of HypP and 3,4-dehydroproline (internal standard) were separated on a strong anion-exchange column and detected fluorimetrically. HypP concentration was calculated by measurement of peak-area ratios of HypP and the hydroxyproline standard. The HypP/creatinine (mmol/mol) ratio in fasting urine samples from healthy adults was found to be 8.2 (S.D. = 1.6, n = 33) in 27-44-year-old premenopausal women and 6.9 (S.D. = 1.7, n = 21) in 28-49-year-old men.

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.
