Abstract
A ratiometric fluorometry based on silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) is constructed for detecting activity of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in human serum. By using thiobutyrylcholine iodide (BTCh) as the substrate of BChE-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction, variation of fluorescence emission from AuNCs is employed as an indicator of BChE activity since one of the hydrolysis products, thiocholine (TCh), would influence the aggregation state of AuNCs and consequently led to the change of fluorescence quantum efficiency of AuNCs. It is interesting that there are two mechanisms working for the fluorescence emission of aggregated AuNCs: aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) with the presence of TCh at very low and higher concentration levels, respectively. Although both of these mechanisms can be utilized for sensing BChE, their opposite influence on the fluorescence emission of aggregated AuNCs should be worthy of attention, especially in the process of developing fluorescence methods for detecting trace targets by using AuNCs. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of fluorophotometer, SiQDs is chosen as the fluorophore to develop by ratiometric fluorescence methods in this work. Additionally, obvious aggregation of AuNCs induces significant decrease of inner filter effect (IFE) on the fluorescence emitted from SiQDs, while mild aggregation of AuNCs demonstrates little IFE. The linear ranges for detecting activity of BChE are 0.004 - 0.05 U/L and 0.5 - 20 U/L by ratiometric fluorometry based on the AIEE and ACQ, respectively. The very different responses originated from AIEE and ACQ of AuNCs would respectively make their own contributions to the determination of BChE activities at very low or high levels, which facilitate the developments of enhanced or quenched fluorescence methods. However, the detection of BChE activities at medium levels might suffer from the combination of AIEE and ACQ with ambiguous fractions. Therefore, it must be careful during the processes of developing and applying fluorescence methods based on the AIEE and ACQ of AuNCs, as well as the process of evaluating their analytical performance.

Abstract
In the clinic, small-molecule metabolites (SMMs) in blood are highly convincing indicators for disease diagnosis, such as cancer. However, challenges still exist for detection of SMMs due to their low concentration and complicated components in blood. In this work, we report the design of a novel "selenium signature" nanoprobe (Se nanoprobe) for efficient identification of multiple aldehyde metabolites in blood. This Se nanoprobe consists of magnetic nanoparticles that can enrich aldehyde metabolites from a complex environment, functionalized with photosensitive "selenium signature" hydrazide molecules that can react with aldehyde metabolites. Upon irradiation with UV, the aldehyde derivatives can be released from the Se nanoprobe and further sprayed by mass spectrometry through ambient ionization (AIMS). By quantifying the selenium isotope distribution (MS/MS) from the derivatization product, accurate detection of several aldehyde metabolites, including valeraldehyde (Val), heptaldehyde (Hep), 2-furaldehyde (2-Fur), 10-undecenal aldehyde (10-Und), and benzaldehyde (Ben), is realized. This strategy reveals a new solution for quick and accurate cancer diagnosis in the clinic.

Abstract
Herein, we constructed a label-free ratiometric fluorescence biosensing strategy for the determination of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity and organophosphorus (OPs) concentration. BChE promoted the hydrolysis of iodized s-butyrylthiocholine (BTCh) into a reducing substance thiocholine, which can decompose CoOOH nanosheets (CoOOH NSs) to Co2+. Subsequently, the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on the surface of CoOOH NSs was released. Then, ssDNA hybridized with hairpin DNA (h-DNA) and triggered the target recycling amplification process, producing large amounts of G-quadruplex. After adding thioflavin T (ThT), the target BChE was converted into activatable G-quadruplex/ThT with an amplified yellow fluorescence signal. The addition of OPs could significantly inhibit the hydrolysis of BTCh by BChE and thus unable to produce the yellow fluorescence G-quadruplex/ThT complex. Throughout the entire process, the fluorescence intensity of Hg-ZnSe QDs as a reference signal remained unchanged at 630 nm. Furthermore, this work provided an effective approach for detecting the BChE activity in serum samples and OPs in fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
RATIONALE Paper spray (PS) is a simple and innovative ambient ionization technique for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Under PS-MS conditions, chemical reactions, which usually occur slowly on a bulk scale, are accelerated. Moreover, the formation of products and transient species can be easily monitored. In this manuscript, reactions between phthalic anhydride and diamines were conducted and monitored using a PS-MS platform. The reaction products (phthalimides) have many pharmaceutical applications, but their traditional syntheses can take hours under reflux, requiring laborious purification steps. METHODS In situ reactions were performed by dropping methanolic solutions of phthalic anhydride and diamines on a triangular paper. The analyses were achieved by positioning the triangle tip in front of the mass spectrometer entrance, whereas a metal clip was attached to the triangle base. After adding methanol to the paper, a high voltage was applied across the metal clip, and the mass spectra were acquired. RESULTS The intrinsic reactivity of alkyl and aromatic diamines was evaluated. The carbon chain remarkably influenced the reactivity of aliphatic diamines. For aryl diamines, the ortho isomer was the most reactive. Moreover, for aryl amines with electron-withdrawing substituents, no reaction was noticed. CONCLUSIONS Taking advantage of the unique characteristics of PS-MS, it was possible to investigate the intrinsic reactivity of model alkyl (ethylene versus propylene) and aryl (o-phenylene versus m-phenylene and p-phenylene) diamines towards phthalic anhydride. Some crucial parameters that affect the intrinsic reactivity of organic molecules, such as isomerism, intramolecular interaction, and conformation, were easily explored.

Abstract
Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing biaryl compounds. However, classic Suzuki-Miyaura coupling suffers from hour-scale reaction time and competitive protodeboronation. To address these problems, a mild nonaqueous potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK)-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura coupling strategy was designed for the microsynthesis of biaryls in paper spray ionization (PSI). Due to the acceleration power facilitated by microdroplet chemistry in reactive PSI, the microsynthesis of biaryls by reactive PSI was accomplished within minutes with comparable yields to the bulk, showing good substrate applicability from 32 Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides and aryl boronic acid/borates bearing different substituents. Based on the above TMSOK-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura coupling strategy, we further developed a high-sensitivity and selective PSI mass spectrometry (MS) method for quantitative analysis of aryl bromides, a class of environmentally persistent organic pollutants that cannot be directly detected by ambient mass spectrometry due to their low ionization efficiency. In situ derivatization of aryl bromides was achieved with aryl borates bearing quaternary ammonium groups in PSI. The proposed PSI-MS method shows good linearity over the 0.01-10 μmol L-1 range with low detection limits of 1.8-4.8 nmol L-1 as well as good applicability to the rapid determination of six aryl bromides in three environmental water samples. The proposed PSI-MS method also shows good applicability to brominated flame retardants (polybrominated diphenyls/diphenyl esters). Overall, this study provides a simple, rapid, low-cost, high-sensitivity, and high-selectivity strategy for trace aryl bromides and other brominated pollutants in real samples with minimal/no sample pretreatment.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an enzyme which is relevant to a variety of diseases, and often serve as a common biomarker of health. In this work, a novel fluorescence sensor based on redox-regulated synthesis of polydopamine nanoparticles (PDANPs) has been developed for simple and sensitive sensing BChE activity. A facile and rapid one-step approach for the preparation of fluorescent PDANPs uses potassium permanganate to oxidize dopamine. We demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of PDANPs is dependent on the dose of potassium permanganate. Butyrylcholinesterase catalyzes the hydrolysis of butyrylthiocholine iodide (BTCh) to produce thiolcholine (TCh) which in a redox reaction with potassium permanganate prevents the formation of fluorescent PDANP. As a result, the activity of BChE can be determined in line with changes in the fluorescence of PDANPs. Based on this finding, a convenient and label-free fluorescence sensor for BChE activity was established via redox-control of the fluorescence intensity of PDANPs. A dynamic response range for BChE is acquired within 0.5 ∼ 200 U/L along with a detection limit of 0.047 U/L. Importantly, the proposed method achieves practical application toward BChE in human sera. Moreover, its satisfying performance for screening of inhibitors was also proved. Hence, the proposed sensor holds great potential for cholinesterase-related biomedical investigation.

Abstract
An abnormal level of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity is highly connected with hepatic damage and Alzheimer's disease. Herein, a facile and efficient method was proposed for BChE detection by incorporating polyethyleneimine-capped copper nanoclusters (PEI-CuNCs) with manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets. The emission of PEI-CuNCs can be significantly quenched by MnO2 nanosheets via the inner filter effect. With the addition of BChE, the hydrolysis of butyrylthiocholine iodide produces thiocholine which can reduce MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+, thus resulting in the fluorescence recovery of PEI-CuNCs. Based on that, a fluorescence "turn-on" sensing platform for BChE activity determination was constructed with a detection limit of 2.26 U L-1. This sensing method is able to detect BChE in human serum samples and identify the serums of normal persons and cirrhotic patients effectively, indicating its great potential in the clinical diagnosis of liver diseases. Furthermore, the approach can also be used to screen BChE inhibitors, which are promising medications to alleviate the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Ambient ionisation mass spectrometry (AIMS) enables studying biological systems in their native state and direct high-throughput analyses. The ionisation occurs in the physical conditions of the surrounding environment. Simple spray or plasma-based AIMS devices allow the desorption and ionisation of molecules from solid, liquid and gaseous samples. 3D printing helps to implement new ideas and concepts in AIMS quickly. Here, we present examples of 3D printed AIMS sources and devices for ion transfer and manipulation. Further, we show the use of 3D printer parts for building custom AIMS sampling robots and imaging systems. Using 3D printing technology allows upgrading existing mass spectrometers with relatively low cost and effort.

Abstract
Developing rapid and reliable method for simultaneous hormones quantitation is of great significant because of important roles of hormones in metabolism. However, current methods are faced with problems of low throughput or complicated operation procedure to remove matrices from serum samples in routine clinical diagnosis. In the present work, a multilayer PS-MS method was developed for rapid and simple detection of hormones. In the strategy, multilayer filter paper acted as the Liquid Chromatography in LC-MS/MS for separation of hormones and biological matrices. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of three hormones, testosterone (T), androsterone (ADT) and androstenedione (4-AD) were realized through MS/MS spectra. The method exhibited linearity in the range of 0.02-2 μg/L and the results of recovery and repeatability were satisfactory for standard samples and spiked serum. The time-cost of a whole detection process was less than 3 min. The established multilayer PS-MS realized rapid, simple and reliable quantitative analysis of various hormones and provided broad prospect for clinical analysis of small molecules in different biological samples. Moreover, it provides a novel MS approach with high through-put and free HPLC, meeting the requirements of point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
Accurate quantification of disease-signature microRNAs (miRNAs) in biomedical samples is in high demand for clinical diagnosis but still challenging because of low miRNAs abundance and complicating interferences in the milieus. Here, we report a multi-amplification strategy for blood miRNAs analysis based on paper-spray mass spectrometry (PS MS). A toehold-mediated DNA-strand-displacement reaction (TSD) is employed to amplify the signal chain and to ensure the specificity. The signal chain is then cleaved by UV to release signal molecules for detection. Moreover, paper spray can efficiently filter out the interfering substances in blood and further enhances the detecting sensitivity. This concept is successfully demonstrated in the prototype detection of a cancer biomarker miRNA-141 in blood and serum. The proposed TSD-PS MS approach provides an efficient way for sensitive detection of oligonucleotides with low concentration in complicating milieus.

Abstract
Medical shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic saw numerous efforts to 3D print personal protective equipment and treatment supplies. There is, however, little research on the potential biocompatibility of 3D-printed parts using typical polymeric resins as pertaining to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which have specific relevance for respiratory circuit equipment. Here, we measured VOCs emitted from freshly printed stereolithography (SLA) replacement medical parts using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry and infrared differential absorption spectroscopy, and particulates using a scanning mobility particle sizer. We observed emission factors for individual VOCs ranging from ∼0.001 to ∼10 ng cm-3 min-1. Emissions were heavily dependent on postprint curing and mildly dependent on the type of SLA resin. Curing reduced the emission of all observed chemicals, and no compounds exceeded the recommended dose of 360 μg/d. VOC emissions steadily decreased for all parts over time, with an average e-folding time scale (time to decrease to 1/e of the starting value) of 2.6 ± 0.9 h.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an important indicator for clinical diagnosis of liver dysfunction, organophosphate toxicity, and poststroke dementia. Point-of-care testing (POCT) of BChE activity is still a challenge, which is a critical requirement for the modern clinical diagnose. A portable photothermal BChE assay is proposed through modulating the photothermal effects of Cu2O nanoparticles. BChE can catalyze the decomposition of butyrylcholine, producing thiocholine, which further reduce and coordinate with CuO on surface of Cu2O nanoparticle. This leads to higher efficiency of formation of Cu9S8 nanoparticles, through the reaction between Cu2O nanoparticle and NaHS, together with the promotion of photothermal conversion efficiency from 3.1 to 59.0%, under the excitation of 1064 nm laser radiation. An excellent linear relationship between the temperature change and the logarithm of BChE concentration is obtained in the range 1.0 to 7.5 U/mL, with a limit of detection of 0.076 U/mL. In addition, the portable photothermal assay shows strong detection robustness, which endows the accurate detection of BChE in human serum, together with the screening and quantification of organophosphorus pesticides. Such a simple, sensitive, and robust assay shows great potential for the applications to clinical BChE detection and brings a new horizon for the development of temperature based POCT.

Abstract
High-throughput identification and quantification of protein/peptide biomarkers from biofluids in a label-free manner is achieved by interfacing bio-affinity arrays (BAAs) with nano-electrospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nano-DESI-MS). A wide spectrum of proteins and peptides ranging from phosphopeptides to cis-diol biomolecules as well as thrombin can be rapidly extracted via arbitrarily predefined affinity interactions including coordination chemistry, covalent bonding, and biological recognition. An integrated MS platform allows continuous interrogation. Profiling and quantitation of dysregulated phosphopeptides from small-volume (∼5 μL) serum samples has been successfully demonstrated. As a front-end device adapted to any mass spectrometer, this MS platform might hold much promise in protein/peptide analysis in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics and clinical applications. Customizable bio-affinity arrays were interfaced with ambient ionization mass spectrometry for high-throughput assays of protein/peptide biomarkers in biofluids.![]()

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) can modulate the expression level of cholinesterase, which emerges as an important clinical diagnose index. However, the currently reported assays for BChE are suffering from the problem of interferences. A ratiometric fluorescence assay was developed based on the MnO2 nanosheet (NS)-modulated fluorescence of sulfur quantum dots (S-dots) and o-phenylenediamine (OPD). MnO2 NS can not only quench the fluorescence of blue emissive S-dots, but also enhance the yellow emissive OPD by catalyzing its oxidation reactions. Upon introducing BChE and substrate into the system, their hydrolysate can reduce MnO2 into Mn2+, leading to the fluorescence recovery of S-dots and failure of OPD oxidation. BChE activity can be quantitatively detected by recording the change of fluorescence signals in the blue and yellow regions. A linear relationship is observed between the ratio of F435/F560 and the concentration of BChE in the range 30 to 500 U/L, and a limit of detection of 17.8 U/L has been calculated. The ratiometric fluorescence assay shows an excellent selectivity to acetylcholinesterase and tolerance to various other species. The method developed provides good detection performances in human serum medium and for screening of inhibitors.

Abstract
Negative ion mode paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS) suffers from intense background noise and unstable MS signal. For the first time, we reported fluorinated boron nitride nanosheet (h-FBN) assisted negative ion PS-MS for the detection of a series of molecules. We demonstrated that the introduction of h-FBN can greatly improve the detection sensitivity and signal stability in the negative ion mode.

Abstract
Lab-on-paper, or microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), use paper as a substrate material, and are patterned with a system of microchannels, reaction zones and sensing elements to perform analysis and detection. The sample transfer in such devices is performed by capillary action. As a result, external driving forces are not required, and hence the size and cost of the device are significantly reduced. Lab-on-paper devices have thus attracted significant attention for point-of-care medical diagnostic purposes in recent years, particularly in less-developed regions of the world lacking medical resources and infrastructures. This review discusses the major advances in lab-on-paper technology for blood analysis and diagnosis in the past five years. The review focuses particularly on the many clinical applications of lab-on-paper devices, including diabetes diagnosis, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) detection, kidney function diagnosis, liver function diagnosis, cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) analysis, sickle-cell disease (SCD) and phenylketonuria (PKU) analysis, virus analysis, C-reactive protein (CRP) analysis, blood ion analysis, cancer factor analysis, and drug analysis. The review commences by introducing the basic transmission principles, fabrication methods, structural characteristics, detection techniques, and sample pretreatment process of modern lab-on-paper devices. A comprehensive review of the most recent applications of lab-on-paper devices to the diagnosis of common human diseases using blood samples is then presented. The review concludes with a brief summary of the main challenges and opportunities facing the lab-on-paper technology field in the coming years.

Abstract
3D-printing is revolutionizing the rapid prototyping in analytical chemistry. In the last few years, we observed the development of 3D-printed components for ion studies, such as ion sources, ion transfer and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) devices. Often, 3D-printed gadgets add functions to existing mass spectrometry (MS) systems. Custom adapters improve the sensibility for coupling with ambient ionization and upstream chromatography methods, and sample preparation units optimize the following MS analyses. Besides, 3D-printer parts are suitable for constructing custom analytical robots and mass imaging systems. Some of those assemblies implement new concepts and are commercially not available. An essential aspect of using 3D-printing is the fast turnover of design improvements, which is motivated by permissive licenses. The easy reproducibility and exchange of ideas lead to a community-driven development, which is accompanied by economic advantages for public research and education.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is attractive as a multiplexed immunoassay readout benefiting from its high sensitivity, speed and mass resolution. Here, a simple paper-based hexaplex immunoassay with an on-line MS readout was proposed, using functionalized paper as the immune substrates, along with rhodamine-based mass tags assembled on gold nanoparticles prepared as the mass probes (MPs). Simultaneous immune capture and labeling were conducted in one step on paper substrates in 96-well plates with a high throughput within 30 minutes, and the on-line efficient dissociation of the mass tags highly facilitated the hexaplex readout of the immune signals by a newly established on-line paper substrate-based electrospray ionization-MS setup. Six MPs were synthesized for the simultaneous quantification of six important cancer protein markers (cancer antigen 15-3, cancer antigen 19-9, carcinoma embryonic antigen, cancer antigen 125, human epididymis protein 4, and alpha fetoprotein) using only 10 μL serum, presenting satisfactory sensitivity, accuracy and specificity. This platform was further tested in screening for the six biomarkers in serum samples of patients with breast, liver and gastric cancers, showing its high potential for sensitive and specific early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
In recent years, a trend toward utilizing open access resources for laboratory research has begun. Open-source design strategies for scientific hardware rely upon the use of widely available parts, especially those that can be directly printed using additive manufacturing techniques and electronic components that can be connected to low-cost microcontrollers. Open-source software eliminates the need for expensive commercial licenses and provides the opportunity to design programs for specific needs. In this review, the impact of the "open-source movement" within the field of chemical separations is described, primarily through a comprehensive look at research in this area over the past five years. Topics that are covered include general laboratory equipment, sample preparation techniques, separations-based analysis, detection strategies, electronic system control, and software for data processing. Remaining hurdles and possible opportunities for further adoption of open-source approaches in the context of these separations-related topics are also discussed.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been made to develop robust and reliable methods for simultaneous biothiols determination in different matrices, but there still exist the problems such as easy oxidation, tedious derivatization, and difficulty in discrimination, which brings unsatisfactory results in their accuracy and fast quantification in biological samples. To overcome these problems, a simultaneous biothiols detection method combining a "selenium signature" chemical probe and paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS) was proposed. In the strategy, the modified-paper substrate is used to enhance the analytical performance. Chemical probe Ebselen-NH2 that has a specific response to biothiols was designed and covalently fixed on the surface of an oxidized paper substrate. By the identification of derivatized product with distinctive selenium isotope distribution and employment of the optimized PS-MS method, qualitative and quantitative analysis of five biothiols including glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), cysteinylglycine (CysGly), N-acetylcysteine (Nac), and homocysteine (Hcy) were realized. Biothiols in plasma and cell lysates were measured with satisfactory results. The established method not only provides a novel protocol for simultaneous determination of biothiols, but also is helpful for understanding the biological and clinical roles played by these bioactive small molecules.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), the primary source of serum cholinesterase activity, is an indispensable biochemical marker for clinical diagnosis of liver function and organophosphorus poisoning. The requirement for bulky and expensive instruments represents a huge hindrance for point-of-care testing (POCT) of BuChE, especially in resource-limited settings. Herein, an easy-operated, economic, and portable photothermal (PT) biosensing platform for high-throughput BuChE detection was rationally designed. BuChE could "light up" the PT signal through in situ generation of Prussian blue (PB) by MIL-53 (Fe), which allowed us to translate biological signals into temperature signals. Such temperature change signals could be monitored at high throughput (six samples for a single measurement) by a miniature self-made integrated PT device via combining separable 96-well plates, a three-dimensional (3D) printed sample bracket, 808 nm lasers, and thermometers, satisfying the requirement for rapid on-site detection in a large batch with low cost. In addition, the large specific surface area, 3D network structure, and high porosity of MIL-53 (Fe) offered a beneficial platform for its reaction with enzymatic hydrolysate, resulting in high sensing sensitivity and low detection limit (0.3 U L-1), which was at least 20 000 times lower than the normal human serum BuChE activity. This facile, affordable, and broad applicability PT sensing platform provides a beneficial reference for the rational design of other disease diagnostic approaches suitable for POCT.

Abstract
Propofol is a widely used intravenous anesthetic agent in sedation and general anesthesia. To improve the safety and maintain the depth of anesthesia, it is important to develop a rapid, sensitive, and reliable method to monitor the concentration of propofol in blood during anesthesia continuously. Here, we present a novel strategy based on paper spray ionization-mass spectrometry (PSI-MS) to detect propofol. Samples (in 10 μL) were mixed with methanol as protein precipitation solvent and 2,6-dimethylphenol as internal standard. Protein micro-precipitation was achieved with methanol by vortexing and centrifuging for 5 s each, and propofol was extracted to the supernatant. PSI-MS was performed in negative ionization mode, and MS signal lasted for 1 min. The analysis of a single sample was completed within 2 min. The area ratios of propofol to internal standard were calculated for quantification. Limit of detection of 5.5 ng mL-1 and limit of quantification of 18.2 ng mL-1 were achieved for propofol in whole blood. Calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.02-10 μg mL-1. The developed method was used successfully in monitoring the propofol concentration in 3 patients' whole blood during anesthesia, showing its further application in controlling and feeding-back target concentration infusion.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is a biomarker in human blood. Aberrant BChE activity has been associated with human diseases. Here we developed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) chemical probe to specifically quantify BChE activity in serum, while simultaneously discriminating against glutathione (GSH). The FRET chemical probe 11 was synthesized from a key trifunctional bicyclononyne exo-6 and derivatives of 5-(2-aminoethylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (EDANS) and 4-[4-(dimethylamino)phenylazo]benzoic acid (DABCYL). EDANS fluorescence visualization and kinetic analysis of 11 in the presence of diverse compounds confirmed the outstanding reactivity and specificity of 11 with thiols. The thiol-dependent fluorescence turn-on property of 11 was attributed to a general base-catalyzed SN2 nucleophilic substitution mechanism and independent of metal ions. Moreover, all thiols, except GSH, reacted swiftly with 11. Kinetic studies of 11 in the presence of covalently modified GSH derivatives corroborated that the steric hindrance of 11 imposing on GSH was the likely cause of the distinguished reactivity. Since GSH commonly interferes in assays measuring BChE activity in blood samples, the 11-based fluorescent assay was employed to directly quantify BChE activity without GSH interference, and delivered a linear range of 4.3–182.2 U L−1 for BChE activity with detection limit of 4.3 U L−1, and accurately quantified serum BChE activity in the presence of 10 μM GSH. Finally, the 11-based assay was exploited to determine Ki of 5 nM for tacrine inhibition on BChE catalysis. We are harnessing the modulated characteristics of 6 to synthesize advanced chemical probes able to more sensitively screen for BChE inhibitors and quantify BChE activity in serum.

Abstract
Many articles have been published on scale-down concepts as well as additive manufacturing techniques. However, information is scarce when miniaturization and 3D printing are applied in the fabrication of bioreactor systems. Therefore, garnering information for the interfaces between miniaturization and 3D printing becomes important and essential. The first goal is to examine the miniaturization aspects concerning bioreactor screening systems. The second goal is to review successful modalities of 3D printing and its applications in bioreactor manufacturing. This paper intends to provide information on anaerobic digestion process intensification by fusion of miniaturization technique and 3D printing technology. In particular, it gives a perspective on the challenges of 3D printing and the options of miniature bioreactor systems for process high-throughput screening.

Abstract
The simplification of the analytical procedures, including cost-effective materials and detectors, is a current research trend. In this context, paper has been identified as a useful material thanks to its low price and high availability in different compositions (office, filter, chromatographic). Its porosity, flexibility, and planar geometry permit the design of flow-through devices compatible with most instrumental techniques. This article provides a general overview of the potential of paper, as substrate, on the simplification of analytical chemistry methodologies. The design of paper-based sorptive phases is considered in-depth, and the different functionalization strategies are described. Considering our experience in sample preparation, special attention has been paid to the use of these phases under the classical microextraction-analysis workflow, which usually includes a chromatographic separation of the analytes before their determination. However, the interest of these materials extends beyond this field as they can be easily implemented into spectroscopic and electrochemical sensors. Finally, the direct analysis of paper substrates in mass spectrometry, in the so-called paper-spray technique is also discussed. This review is more focused on presenting ideas rather than the description of specific applications to draw a general picture of the potential of these materials.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity is an important index for a variety of diseases. In this work, a "turn-on" assay is proposed based on controlling the inner filter effect (IFE) of MnO2 nanosheets (NSs) on sulfur nanodots (S-dots). The fluorescence of S-dots is effectively quenched by the MnO2 NSs, due to the wide overlap of the emission spectrum of S-dots and absorption spectrum of MnO2 NSs, together with the superior light absorption capability of MnO2 NSs. BChE can catalyze acetylthiocholine and produce thiocholine, which effectively decomposes the MnO2 NSs into Mn2+, resulting in the disappearance of the IFE and recovery of fluorescence of S-dots. Two-stage linear relationships between the ratio of fluorescence intensity and concentration of BChE are observed from 0.05 to 10 and from 10 to 500 U L-1. A limit of detection of 0.035 U L-1 is achieved, which is the best performance so far. The as-proposed assay is robust enough for practical detection in human serum, and it can avoid interference from its sister enzyme (acetylcholinesterase) and glutathione at the micromolar level. The presented results provide a clue for the functionalization of S-dots, and offer a powerful tool as an analytic technique for nanomedicine and environmental science.

Abstract
This critical review discusses how the need for reduced clinical turnaround times has influenced chemical instrumentation. We focus on the development of modern mass spectrometry (MS) and its application in clinical diagnosis. With increased functionality that takes advantage of novel front-end modifications and computational capabilities, MS can now be used for non-traditional clinical analyses, including applications in clinical microbiology for bacteria differentiation and in surgical operation rooms. We summarize here recent developments in the field that have enabled such capabilities, which include miniaturization for point-of-care testing, direct complex mixture analysis via ambient ionization, chemical imaging and profiling, and systems integration.
