Abstract
BACKGROUND On-site monitoring of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), homovanillic acid (HVA), and dopamine (DA) as key diagnostic biomarkers for a wide range of neurological disorders holds utmost significance in clinical settings. Numerous colorimetric sensors with mechanistic approaches based on aggregation or silver metallization have been introduced for this purpose. However, these mechanisms have drawbacks, such as sensitivity to environmental factors and probe toxicity. Therefore, there is a great demand for a robust yet non-toxic colorimetric sensor that employs a novel route to monitor these biomarkers effectively. RESULTS Here, we present a single-component multi-colorimetric probe based on the controllable etching suppression of gold nanorods (AuNRs) upon exposure to the mild etchant N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), designed to accurately detect and discriminate VMA, HVA, DA, and their corresponding mixtures, i.e. , VMA HVA, VMA:DA, HVA:DA, and VMA:HVA:DA. To enhance the sensitivity and automation capabilities of the designed multi-colorimetric sensor, two machine learning techniques were employed: linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for the qualitative classification and partial least-squares regression (PLSR) for the quantitative analysis of pure biomarkers and their mixtures. The outcomes revealed a high correlation between measured and predicted values, covering a linear range of 0.8-25, 1.2-25, and 2.7-100 μmol L-1, with remarkably low detection limits of 0.260, 0.397, and 0.913 μmol L-1 for VMA, HVA, and DA, respectively. Lastly, the performance of the probe was validated by successfully detecting the neuroblastoma biomarker VMA:HVA in human urine. SIGNIFICANCE Our designed multi-colorimetric probe introduces a rapid, cost-effective, user-friendly, non-toxic, and non-invasive approach to detecting and discriminating not only the pure biomarkers but also their corresponding binary and ternary mixtures. The distinctive response profiles produced by the probe in the presence of different mixture ratios can indicate various disease states in patients, which is highly crucial in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
A method has been developed for the analysis of vanillylmandelic acid, homovanillic acid, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid from baby urine as biomarkers of neuroblastoma in infants. Disposable diapers were employed as sampling devices in order to guarantee a low invasiveness during this step. The proposed method consists on a simple extraction step with water from the used diaper followed by the measurement using capillary electrophoresis with UV detection. The Box-Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to optimize the process of extracting catecholamine metabolites from the examined samples. The variables of the sample preparation step were optimized and the method was validated obtaining limits of quantification of 1.65 μg mL-1, good intraday and inter-day precision with RSDs under 15 %. Finally the method was applied to real samples collected from the Department of Neonatology, University Clinical Centre (Gdańsk, Poland). The greenness of the proposed method was also evaluated with different tools (i.e., AGREEPrep and GAPI) with satisfactory results, which allow to state that the method can be considered green. Moreover, its practicality was evaluated by application of BAGI tool, proving to be a practical and economical method to be applied in routine laboratories for determination of catecholamine metabolites in urine-type samples.

Abstract
Catecholamines-dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline are important biomarkers of neurotransmitter metabolism, indicating neuroendocrine tumors and neurodegenerative diseases. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising analytical technique with unprecedented multiplexing capabilities. However, not all important analytes exhibit strong SERS signals on stable and robust nanostructured substrates. In this work, we propose a novel indicator system based on the formation of mixed ligand complexes with bispidine-based bis-azole ligands which can serve as pliers to trap Cu(II) ions and stabilize its complexes with catecholamines. Four synthesized ligands with different functional groups: carboxyl, amino, benzyl, and methoxybenzyl, were applied for forming stable complexes to shift maximum absorbance of catecholamines from the ultraviolet region to 570-600 nm. A new absorbance band in the visible range resonates with the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of metal nanoparticles and most used laser wavelengths. This match allowed use of Molecular Immobilization and Resonant Raman Amplification by Complex-Loaded Enhancers (MIRRACLE) methodology to measure intense Raman signals on a nanostructured silver-based SERS-active substrate. The synthesized plier-like ligands fixed and stabilized catecholamine complexes with Cu(II) on the SERS sensor surface, which facilitated the determination of dopamine in a 3.2 × 10-12-1 × 10-8 M concentration range.

Abstract
Dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) was developed for the extraction of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) in urine samples prior to capillary electrophoresis with diode array detection (CE-DAD). Extraction of VMA by DSPE was carried out by direct addition of 7.5 mg of synthesized amino-functionalized UiO-66 (Zr) metal-organic framework adsorbent into the 5 mL sample solution (pH 4.0), followed by sonication and centrifugation. The supernatant layer was discarded, then the sedimented adsorbent was eluted using borate buffer (75 mM, pH 10). Effective extraction parameters including the amount of adsorbent, sample pH, adsorption and desorption time, type, volume and pH of eluent, and type of adsorbent dispersion method were systematically investigated. Under the optimized conditions, linearity of the method was from 40 to 2000 μg L-1 with a correlation coefficient over 0.9948. The method detection and quantification limits were 12 and 40 μg L-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations for intra-and inter-day precision were 2.4 and 2.8% (n = 5), respectively. The extraction recovery and enrichment factor values were 90% and 9.0 respectively.

Abstract
A novel method towards spectrophotometric determination of catecholamines and their metabolites differing in their functional groups has been developed. This method is based on a change in morphology of silver triangular nanoplates upon the action of cateсholamines and their metabolites, which is manifested by the decrease of the nanoparticle local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band intensity or its shift to the short-wavelength region of the spectrum. The shift value of the LSPR band or the change of its intensity increases with increasing concentration of catecholamines or their metabolites, which is proposed for their spectrophotometric determination. The limits of detection of catecholamines and their metabolites under selected conditions increase in the series homovanillic acid < vanillylmandelic acid < L-epinephrine < L-norepinephrine < dopamine and are 0.25, 1.2, 3.0, 64, and 130 μmol L-1, respectively. The selectivity of the proposed method was assessed using vanillylmandelic acid as example. It was found that the determination of vanillylmandelic acid does is not interfered in the presence of 4000-fold excess of Na+, K+, CH3COO-, and 1000-fold excess of Mg2+, Ca2+, Al3+, NO3-. The method also allows for the selective determination of vanillylmandelic acid in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of structurally related substances that do not contain either a catechol fragment or an electron donor substituent. The proposed approach was successfully applied to the determination of catecholamines in pharmaceuticals and artificial urine. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Due to the lack of specific early detection methods for pancreatic cancer, it usually goes undetected until it is advanced. By employing paper-based electrodes (PPE), herein we for the first time developed a disposable low-cost paper-based immunosensor for rapid early quantitative detection of pancreatic cancer with a new biomarker, pseudopodium-enriched atypical kinase one, SGK269 (PEAK1). The immunosensor was constructed by fabricating PPEs immobilized with the versatile nanomaterial graphene oxide for the incorporation of antibodies to form an immunosensing platform, without the need of complicated surface modification. After it was confirmed that the PPEs exhibited excellent electrochemical properties, a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was subsequently constructed by employing graphene oxide layers immobilized with anti-PEAK1, and the antibody conjugated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-tagged-Anti PEAK1). Further, spectral and surface characteristic studies confirmed the formation of the immunosensing platform. The immunosensor for PEAK1 exhibited a wide linear range between 10 pg mL-1 and 106 pg mL-1 with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 10 pg mL-1. The obtained results point towards rapid, sensitive, and specific early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at the point of care and other low-resource settings.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the fabrication of analytical devices utilizing microfluidic structures and lab-on-a-chip platforms has shown breakthrough advancements, both for environmental and biological applications. The ASSURED criteria (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, robust, equipment-free, delivered), developed by the WHO for diagnostics devices, point towards the need of paper-based analytical devices (PAD) for diagnostics. On the other hand, cost-effective PADs owing the great advantage of affordable applicability in both resource-rich and -limited settings are recently employed for on-site environmental monitoring. In this book chapter, we will discuss about the brief history of paper analytical devices, fabrications, need, and its environmental and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Low-cost assays have broad applications ranging from human health diagnostics and food safety inspection to environmental analysis. Hence, low-cost assays are especially attractive for rural areas and developing countries, where financial resources are limited. Recently, paper-based microfluidic devices have emerged as a low-cost platform which greatly accelerates the point of care (POC) analysis in low-resource settings. This paper reviews recent advances of low-cost bioanalysis on paper-based microfluidic platforms, including fully paper-based and paper hybrid microfluidic platforms. In this review paper, we first summarized the fabrication techniques of fully paper-based microfluidic platforms, followed with their applications in human health diagnostics and food safety analysis. Then we highlighted paper hybrid microfluidic platforms and their applications, because hybrid platforms could draw benefits from multiple device substrates. Finally, we discussed the current limitations and perspective trends of paper-based microfluidic platforms for low-cost assays.

A reliable and simple method for the assay of neuroendocrine tumor markers in human urine by solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Anal Chim Acta 2012; 759:66-73. [PMID: 23260678 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2012.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2012] [Revised: 11/06/2012] [Accepted: 11/10/2012] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
Homovanillic acid (HVA), vanylmandelic acid (VMA), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) are the metabolites of some catecholamines such as epinephrine, nor-epinephrine, dopamine and serotonin and their quantification is used in the diagnosis and management of patients with neurocrine tumors. A novel approach in the assay of these biomarkers in human urine samples by solid phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS) is presented. A preliminary derivatization with ethyl chloroformate/ethanol was used and the corresponding derivatives were then extracted by SPME in immersion mode. The performance of five SPME fibers and three chloroformates were evaluated in univariate mode and the best results were obtained using the polyacrylate fiber and ethyl chloroformate. The variables affecting the efficiency of SPME analysis were optimized by the multivariate approach of "Experimental design" and, in particular, a central composite design (CCD) was applied. The optimum working conditions in terms of response values were achieved by performing analysis at room temperature with addition of NaCl (9.5%) and with an extraction time of 25.8 min. Identification and quantification of analytes were carried out by using a gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ MS) system in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) acquisition. An evaluation of all analytical parameters shows that the proposed method provides satisfactory results. Very good linearities were, in fact, achieved in the tested calibration ranges with correlation coefficient values >0.99 for all the analytes and accuracies and RSDs calculated for between-run and tested at concentrations of 1, 10, and 80 mg L(-1) were ranging from 91.3% to 106.6%, and from 0.5 to 8.9%, respectively. Moreover, the LOD values obtained can be considered very satisfactory (1.3, 0.046 and 24.3 μg L(-1) for HVA, VMA and 5-HIAA, respectively). The developed protocol represents, therefore, a simple, rapid and selective tool for assaying these acidic biomarkers in urine samples for neuroendocrine cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
A new, sensitive platform for the simultaneous electrochemical assay of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) in aqueous solution has been developed. The platform is based on a new bimetallic Hg-Bi/single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), demonstrating remarkably improved performance for the anodic stripping assay of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II). The synergistic effect of Hg and Bi as well as the enlarged, activated surface and good electrical conductivity of SWNTs on GCE contribute to the enhanced activity of the proposed electrode. The analytical curves for Zn(II), Cd(II) an Pb(II) cover two linear ranges varying from 0.5 to 11 μg L(-1) and 10 to 130 μg L(-1) with correlation coefficients higher than 0.992. The limits of detection for Zn(II), Cd(II) are lower than 2 μg L(-1) (S/N = 3). For Pb(II), moreover, there is another lower, linear range from 5 to 1100 ng L(-1) with a coefficient of 0.987 and a detection limit of 0.12 ng L(-1). By using the standard addition method, Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions in river samples were successfully determined. These results suggest that the proposed method can be applied as a simple, efficient alternative for the simultaneous monitoring of heavy metals in water samples. In addition, this method demonstrates the powerful application of carbon nanotubes in electrochemical analysis of heavy metals.

Abstract
An electrophoretic method for simultaneous determination of catecholamines and their O-methoxylated metabolites on the microchip as well as in the capillary is presented. A complex separation system employing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles, dendrimers forming a second pseudostationary phase and borate complexation is needed for the satisfactory separation of the selected compounds on the short migration length. A carbon nanotube-modified working electrode has been applied for the sensitive amperometric detection with submicromolar detection limits. The applicability of this new method for the analytics of real samples is demonstrated by analysis of mouse brain homogenate on the microchip and human urine by capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
Detection of biogenic monoamines in nanomolar concentrations is of great importance for probing the brain chemistry and for their analytics in biological fluids. The sensitivity enhancement of amperometric detection of neurotransmitters (NTs) and their metabolites after their electrophoretic separation on a microchip is presented and is based on coupled enzymatic reactions. The current response of the analyte is amplified by cyclic oxidation on a gold electrode mediated by reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide coenzyme and glucose oxidase enzyme present in the electrophoresis buffer. Using this approach, detection limits of about 10 nM for NTs and their metabolites can be reached.

Abstract
A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic method for determining anionic catecholamine metabolites from patient urine samples was established. The optimum electrolyte solution (pH 10.6) was made of tetraborate and sodium dodecyl sulphate into water. Furthermore, studies were focused to optimize solid-phase extraction clean-up steps to concentrate patient urine samples for identification of catecholamines with UV detection. The water-micelle distribution coefficients (octanol-water partition coefficient, log Pow) for the analytes were determined by conductometric titration. High plate numbers (120,000-200,000/40 cm detection window) and small diffusion coefficients (2.00-3.50 x 10(-6) cm(-2) s(-1)) resulted in high resolution and symmetry of the analyte zones. The standard deviations of the migration times and the peak heights were less than 3 and 7%, respectively. The octanol-water coefficients increased in the order of decreased pKa1 value of the analytes, why separation between structurally related vanillinic mandelic acids could be obtained. Limits of detection and quantification were around 0.05 and 0.1 microg/ml, respectively, except for dopamine. The concentrations of the catecholamine metabolites in the studied patient urines varied from 0.186 to 76.4 microg/ml. The results showed evidences of serious diseases among the patients.
