Fast, simple and calibration-free size characterization and quality control of extracellular vesicles using capillary Taylor dispersion analysis. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1705:464189. [PMID: 37442068 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
This study reports the development of a Taylor Dispersion Analysis (TDA) method for the size characterization of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), which are highly heterogeneous nanoscale cell-derived vesicles (30-1000 nm). Here, we showed that TDA, conducted in uncoated fused silica capillaries (50 µm i.d.) using a conventional Capillary Electrophoresis instrument, is able to provide absolute sizing (requiring no calibration) of bovine milk-derived EVs in a small sample volume (∼ 7 nL) and over their entire size range, even the smallest ones (< 70 nm) not accessible via other techniques that provide nanoparticle sizing in suspension. TDA size measurements were repeatable (RSD < 10%) and the average EV sizes were found in the range of 120-210 nm, in very good agreement with those measured with Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis, commonly used for EV characterization. TDA allowed quantitative estimation of EVs for concentrations ≥ 2 × 1011 EVs/mL. Furthermore, TDA was able to detect minor changes in EV size (i.e. by ∼25 nm upon interaction with specific anti-CD9 antibodies of ∼150 kDa), and to highlight the impact of extraction methods (i.e. milk pretreatment: freezing, acid precipitation or centrifugation; the type of size-exclusion chromatography column) and of fluorescent labeling (i.e. intravesicular or surface labeling) on the isolated EV population size. In parallel to EV sizing, TDA allowed to detect molecular contaminants (average sizes ∼1-13 nm) present within the sample, rendering this method a valuable tool to assess the quality and quantity of EV isolates.

Abstract
Biological and pharmaceutical analytes like liposomes, therapeutic proteins, nanoparticles, and drug-delivery systems are utilized in applications, such as pharmaceutical formulations or biomimetic models, in which controlling their size is often critical. Many of the common techniques for sizing these analytes require method development, significant sample preparation, large sample quantities, and lengthy analysis times. In other cases, such as DLS, sizing can be biased towards the largest constituents in a mixture. Therefore, there is a need for more rapid, sensitive, accurate, and straightforward analytical methods for sizing macromolecules, especially those of biological origin which may be sample-limited. Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) is a sizing technique that requires no calibration and consumes only nL to pL sample volumes. In TDA, average diffusion coefficients are determined via the Taylor-Aris equation by characterizing band broadening of an analyte plug under well-controlled laminar flow conditions. Diffusion coefficient can then be interpreted as hydrodynamic radius (RH) via the Stokes-Einstein equation. Here, we offer a tutorial review of TDA, intended to make the method better understood and more widely accessible to a community of analytical chemists and separations scientists who may benefit from the unique advantages of this versatile sizing method. We first provide a tutorial on the fundamental principles that allow TDA to achieve calibration-free sizing of analytes across a wide range of RH, with an emphasis on the reduced sample consumption and analysis times that result from utilizing fused silica capillaries. We continue by highlighting relationships between operating parameters and critically important flow conditions. Our discussion continues by looking at methods for applying TDA to sample mixtures via algorithmic approaches and integration of capillary electrophoresis and TDA. Finally, we present a selection of reports that demonstrate TDA applied to complex challenges in bioanalysis and materials science.

Abstract
Vaccine adjuvants are immunostimulatory substances used to improve and modulate the immune response induced by antigens. A better understanding of the antigen-adjuvant interactions is necessary to develop future effective vaccine. In this study, Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) was successfully implemented to characterize the interactions between a polymeric adjuvant (poly(acrylic acid), SPA09) and a vaccine antigen in development for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus. TDA allowed one to rapidly determine both (i) the size of the antigen-adjuvant complexes under physiological conditions and (ii) the percentage of free antigen in the adjuvant/antigen mixture at equilibrium and finally get the interaction parameters (stoichiometry and binding constant). The complex sizes obtained by TDA were compared to the results obtained by transmission electron microscopy, and the binding parameters were compared to results previously obtained by frontal analysis continuous capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
Taylor dispersion is a microfluidic analytical technique with a high dynamic range and therefore is suited well to measuring the hydrodynamic radius of small molecules, proteins, supramolecular complexes, macromolecules, nanoparticles and their self-assembly. Here we calculate an unaddressed yet fundamental property: the limit of resolution, which is defined as the smallest change in the hydrodynamic radius that Taylor dispersion can resolve accurately and precisely. Using concepts of probability theory and inferential statistics, we present a comprehensive theoretical approach, addressing uniform and polydisperise particle systems, which involve either model-based or numerical analyses. We find a straightforward scaling relationship in which the resolution limit is linearly proportional to the optical-extinction-weighted average hydrodynamic radius of the particle systems.

Abstract
Taylor dispersion is capable of measuring accurately the hydrodynamic radius over several orders of magnitude. Accordingly, it is now a highly competitive technique dedicated to characterizing small molecules, proteins, macromolecules, nanoparticles, and their self-assembly. Regardless, an in-depth analysis addressing the precision of the technique, being a key indicator of reproducibility, is not available. Benefiting from analytical modeling and statistical analysis, we address error propagation and present a comprehensive theoretical study of the precision of Taylor dispersion. Theory is then compared against experiment, and we find full consistency. Our results are most helpful when the design, objectives, or control of analytical quality is in focus.

Abstract
The inline coupling of the field-amplified sample injection (FASI) to Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) was used to characterize low-UV absorbing carboxylated silica nanoparticles (cNPs). The hydrodynamic diameters (Dh) were measured by using a commercial capillary electrophoresis instrument. The proposed methodology did not require any complicated instruments or chromophoric dye to increase the detection sensitivity. A practical method based on a half-Gaussian fitting was proposed for the data processing. The results obtained by this method were compared with those derived from dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. From these results, it appeared that the size derived by TDA is in excellent agreement with those measured by DLS and TEM, as demonstrated by stable nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Intermediate precision relative standard deviations less than 5% were obtained by FASI-TDA. The effect of the FASI-induced cNP peak dispersion on the reliability of the results was discussed in detail.

Abstract
UV imaging provides spatially and temporally resolved absorbance measurements, which are highly useful in pharmaceutical analysis. Commercial UV imaging instrumentation was originally developed as a detector for separation sciences, but the main use is in the area of in vitro dissolution and release testing studies. The review covers the basic principles of the technology and summarizes the main applications in relation to intrinsic dissolution rate determination, excipient compatibility studies and in vitro release characterization of drug substances and vehicles intended for parenteral administration. UV imaging has potential for providing new insights to drug dissolution and release processes in formulation development by real-time monitoring of swelling, precipitation, diffusion and partitioning phenomena. Limitations of current instrumentation are discussed and a perspective to new developments and opportunities given as new instrumentation is emerging.
