Abstract
Microfluidics has emerged as a transformative force in the field of drug delivery, offering innovative avenues to produce a diverse range of nano drug delivery systems. Thanks to its precise manipulation of small fluid volumes and its exceptional command over the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles, this technology is notably able to enhance the pharmacokinetics of drugs. It has initiated a revolutionary phase in the domain of drug delivery, presenting a multitude of compelling advantages when it comes to developing nanocarriers tailored for the delivery of poorly soluble medications. These advantages represent a substantial departure from conventional drug delivery methodologies, marking a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical research and development. Furthermore, microfluidic platformsmay be strategically devised to facilitate targeted drug delivery with the objective of enhancing the localized bioavailability of pharmaceutical substances. In this paper, we have comprehensively investigated a range of significant microfluidic techniques used in the production of nanoscale drug delivery systems. This comprehensive review can serve as a valuable reference and offer insightful guidance for the development and optimization of numerous microfluidics-fabricated nanocarriers.

Abstract
Nanoparticle systems are functional carriers that can be used in the cancer therapy field for the delivery of a variety of hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic drugs. Recently, the advent of microfluidic platforms represents an advanced approach to the development of new nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Particularly, microfluidics can simplify the design of new nanoparticle-based systems with tunable physicochemical properties such as size, size distribution and morphology, ensuring high batch-to-batch reproducibility and consequently, an enhanced therapeutic effect in vitro and in vivo. In this perspective, we present accurate state-of-the-art microfluidic platforms focusing on the fabrication of polymer-based, lipid-based, lipid/polymer-based, inorganic-based and metal-based nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The affinity between functional nanoparticles (NPs) and proteins could determine the efficacy of nanoprobes, nanosensors, nanocarriers, and many other devices for biomedical applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop analytical strategies to accurately evaluate the magnitude of these protein corona interactions in physiological media. In this work, different electrokinetic strategies were implemented to accurately determine the interactions between PEGylated ZnGa1.995Cr0.005O4 persistent luminescent NPs (ZGO-PEG) and two important serum proteins: human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant serum protein, and apolipoprotein-E (ApoE), associated with the active transport of NPs through the blood-brain barrier. Firstly, the injection of ZGO-PEG in a background electrolyte (BGE) containing individual proteins allowed an affinity study to separately characterize each NP-protein system. Then, the same procedure was applied in a buffer containing a mixture of the two proteins at different molar ratios. Finally, the NPs were pre-incubated with one protein and thereafter electrokinetically separated in a BGE containing the second protein. These analytical strategies revealed the mechanisms (comparative, cooperative or competitive systems) and the magnitude of their interactions, resulting in all cases in notably higher affinity and stability between ZGO-PEG and ApoE (Ka = 1.96 ± 0.25 × 1010 M-M) compared to HSA (Ka = 4.60 ± 0.41 × 106 M-M). For the first time, the inter-protein ApoE/HSA interactions with ZGO-PEG were also demonstrated, highlighting the formation of a ternary ZGO-PEG/ApoE/HSA nanocomplex. These results open the way for a deeper understanding of the protein corona formation, and the development of versatile optical imaging applications for ZGO-PEG and other systemically delivered nanoprobes ideally vectorized to the brain.

Abstract
Knowledge of the intracellular behavior of quantum dots (QDs), which encompasses the antiproliferative effect on living cells, is still limited. For this reason, the transformations of CdSeS/ZnS-based QDs in cancer cytosol were examined using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma MS (ICP-MS). CE-ICP-MS method revealed the dose- and time-dependent speciation changes of QDs in the cytosol, while HPLC-ICP-MS (in the size-exclusion chromatography mode) allowed further characterization of the resulting Cd species. In such an appraisal, the decent CE advantage of high resolution is well complemented by higher sensitivity of HPLC (LOD 4.0 × 10-10 and 5.4 × 10-12 mol/L Cd, respectively). Additionally, the influence of serum protein corona on the surface of QDs on their uptake by Hep G2 cancer cells was investigated by direct ICP-MS analysis that revealed that the conjugated proteins greatly reduce the particle internalization.

Abstract
Interactions of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with live cells are known to exert a great impact on their functions, including cell signalling, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic processes. Modern analytical techniques applied to studying nanoparticle-cell interactions are to improve our understanding of the mode of action of AuNPs, which is essential for their approval in disease therapeutics. Such methods may vary depending on what step of particle internalization is in question, i.e., cellular uptake, intracellular transport (accompanying by changes in the chemical state), translocation to different cell compartments, interaction with relevant subcellular structures and localization. This review focuses on the implementation and critical assessment of advanced analytical methodologies to investigate the cellular processing of AuNPs. Also addressed is a sought-after issue of accounting in in-vitro studies for a chemical form in which the AuNPs enter the cell in vivo.

Abstract
Water monitoring technologies are widely used for contaminants detection in wide variety of water ecology applications such as water treatment plant and water distribution system. A tremendous amount of research has been conducted over the past decades to develop robust and efficient techniques of contaminants detection with minimum operating cost and energy. Recent developments in spectroscopic techniques and biosensor approach have improved the detection sensitivities, quantitatively and qualitatively. The availability of in-situ measurements and multiple detection analyses has expanded the water monitoring applications in various advanced techniques including successful establishment in hand-held sensing devices which improves portability in real-time basis for the detection of contaminant, such as microorganisms, pesticides, heavy metal ions, inorganic and organic components. This paper intends to review the developments in water quality monitoring technologies for the detection of biological and chemical contaminants in accordance with instrumental limitations. Particularly, this review focuses on the most recently developed techniques for water contaminant detection applications. Several recommendations and prospective views on the developments in water quality assessments will also be included.

Abstract
The cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) may (or may not) affect their speciation, but information on the chemical forms in which the particles exist in the cell remains obscure. An analytical method based on the use of capillary electrophoresis hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been proposed to shed light on the intracellular processing of AuNPs. It was observed that when being introduced into normal cytosol, the conjugates of 10-50 nm AuNPs with albumin evolved in human serum stayed intact. On the contrary, under simulated cancer cytosol conditions, the nanoconjugates underwent decomposition, the rate of which and the resulting metal speciation patterns were strongly influenced by particle size. The new peaks that appeared in ICP-MS electropherograms could be ascribed to nanosized species, as upon ultracentrifugation, they quantitatively precipitated whereas the supernatant showed only trace Au signals. Our present study is the first step to unravel a mystery of the cellular chemistry for metal-based nanomedicines.

Abstract
Protein corona formed on nanomaterial surfaces play an important role in the bioavailability and cellular uptake of nanomaterials. Modification of surfaces with oligoethylene glycols (OEG) are a common way to improve the resistivity of nanomaterials to protein adsorption. Short-chain ethylene oxide (EO) oligomers have been shown to improve the protein resistance of planar Au surfaces. We describe the application of these EO oligomers for improved protein resistance of 30 nm spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Functionalized AuNPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential measurements. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used for separation and quantitation of AuNPs and AuNP-protein mixtures. Specifically, nonequilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM) was employed for the determination of equilibrium and rate constants for binding between citrate-stabilized AuNPs and two model proteins, lysozyme and fibrinogen. Semi-quantitative CE analysis was carried out for mixtures of EO-functionalized AuNPs and proteins, and results demonstrated a 2.5-fold to 10-fold increase in protein binding resistance to lysozyme depending on the AuNP surface functionalization and a 15-fold increase in protein binding resistance to fibrinogen for both EO oligomers examined in this study. Graphical abstract Using capillary electrophoresis, the addition of short-chained oligo(ethylene oxide) ligands to gold nanoparticles was shown to improve protein binding resistance up to 15-fold.

Abstract
The development and optimization of a versatile analytical system for the speciation analysis of metal-containing nanoscale materials in blood serum is reported herein. Based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) interfaced with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the method was shown to be feasible to investigate the interactions between serum proteins and gold nanoparticles of potential medicinal use, which are their first and foremost occurrence upon their entry into the circulatory system. To improve the separation resolution between the intact nanoparticles and different protein conjugates, the CE system was optimized with an emphasis on compatibility with physiological conditions, avoiding aggregation effects, and analyte recovery. Optimization allowed also for acquiring the acceptable figures of merit such as migration time and peak area precision of 1.0-6.4% and 2.4-6.9%, respectively, detection limits in the range of 0.8-1.0 μg L(-1) Au, and capillary recoveries on the order of 86-97%, depending on the nanoparticle size and conjugate type. We sytematically investigated the role of size in mediating protein adsorption to gold nanoparticles in a real-serum environment. At the initial stage of surface coating, the speciation of smaller particles (5 and 10 nm) was found to be dominated by albumin, transferrin (both in apo- and holo-form) playing the secondary role in developing the protein corona. For 20 and 50 nm nanoparticles, the contribution of transferrin is initially comparable; however, with time it becomes replaced by albumin. The time of attaining equilibrium adsorption is also a function of particle size but for the whole size range investigated, albumin is the only equilibrium binding partner. These principal findings prove that for metal-based nanomaterials in general, serum protein conjugates could be variable in composition depending on the protein abundance and binding affinity, as well as the residence time in the bloodstream.

Abstract
We report the development and application of an analytical system consisting of capillary electrophoresis (CE) interfaced with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for sensitive and high-resolution characterization of quantum dots (QDs) interacting with serum proteins. Separation resolution between the intact CdSeS/ZnS QDs and their protein conjugates was optimized by varying the type and concentration of background electrolyte, applied voltage, and sample loading. Special attention was paid to the CE system compatibility with physiological conditions, avoiding aggregation effects, and analyte recovery. Optimization trials allowed for acquiring satisfactory stability of migration times (within 6.0% between different days), peak area precision of 5.2-8.0%, capillary recoveries in the range of 90-96%, and a lower limit of detection of 7.5 × 10(-9) mol L(-1) Cd. With the developed method distinct metal-specific profiles were obtained for the QDs in combination with individual serum proteins, their mixtures, and in human serum. Particularly, it was found that albumin binding to the particle surface is completed after 1 h, without noticeable disruption of the core-shell integrity. The transferrin adsorption is accompanied by the removal of the ZnS shell, resulting in evolving two different metal-protein conjugated forms. On the other hand, proteinization in real-serum environment occurs without binding to major transport proteins, the QDs also lose their the shell (the higher the dose the longer is the time they stay unbroken). The concomitant changes in migration behavior can be attributed to interactions with serum proteins other than albumin and transferrin. Speciation information provided by CE-ICP-MS may shed light on the mechanism of QD delivery to the target regions of the body.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a separation method based on differential migration of analytes in electric fields. The compatibility with purely aqueous separation media makes it a versatile tool in metallodrug research. Many metallodrugs undergo ligand exchange reactions that can easily be followed with this method and the information gained can even be improved by coupling the CE to advanced detectors, such as mass spectrometers. This gives the method high potential to facilitate the development of metallodrugs, especially when combined with innovative method development and experimental design.

Abstract
Poly(acrylic acid-co-sodium acrylate) (PNaA) is a pH-responsive polymer with potential in anticancer drug delivery. The cytotoxicity and intracellular effects of 3-arm star, hyperbranched and linear PNaA were investigated with L1210 progenitor leukemia cells and L6 myoblast cells. Free solution capillary electrophoresis demonstrated interactions of PNaA with serum proteins. In a 72 h MTT assay most PNaAs exhibited a IC50 between 7 and 14 mmol L(-1), showing that precipitation may be a sufficient purification for PNaA dilute solutions. Dialyzed 3-arm star and hyperbranched PNaA caused an increase in L6 cell viability, challenging the suitability of MTT as cytotoxicity assay for PNaA. Fluorescent confocal microscopy revealed merging of cellular lipids after exposure to PNaA, likely caused by serum starvation.

Abstract
As metallic nanoparticles are growing in importance as analytes in CE, increases an interest in appropriate detection methods for their quantification in various samples. For gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the most common UV detection poses intricacy of inadequate sensitivity that hinders the applicability of CE. With the objective of resolving this challenge, UV detection was compared with C(4) D and ICP-MS as alternative modes of detection for AuNPs. A C(4) D detector, applied under pressure-driven conditions, exhibited better sensitivity than a UV detector. However, C(4) D turned to be unsatisfactory to differentiate the signal of AuNPs at common CE conditions despite varying the nature of BGE and detection conditions. Due to intrinsic sensitivity and low background levels typical to Au, ICP-MS greatly surpasses UV detection. After optimization trials, CE-ICP-MS gained the LOD of AuNPs as low as 2 × 10(-15) M, as well as an excellent performance in terms of signal stability and linearity. Also importantly, the optimized BGE appears to be well matched to explore the behavior of AuNPs in biologically relevant systems. This was demonstrated by probing the interaction between AuNPs and the main blood-transporting protein, HSA.

Comparative study on coating CdSe nanocrystals with surfactants. Mikrochim Acta 2013; 180:1341-1350.

Abstract
We have synthesized CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) in sizes from 2.2 to 5.1 nm passivated with hydrophobic trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in combination trioctylphosphine (TOP) or tributylphosphine (TBP) to obtain particles of the type CdSe/TOPO/TOP or CdSe/TOPO/TBP. These NCs were then dispersed in aqueous solution of ionic or non-ionic surfactants (such as stearate, oleic acid, Tween) using a biphase (water and chloroform or hexane) transfer method. It is found that both the structure of the surfactant and the native surface of the ligand govern the coating of the NCs with surfactants. More specifically, the hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity balance of the surfactant regulates the coating efficacy, thereby transferring the NC from the organic to the aqueous phase. The type of ligand on the NCs and the kind of coating surfactant also affect photoluminescence (PL). The ratio of PL and absorbance unit (defined as PL per 0.1 AU) was implemented as a tool to monitor changes in PL intensity and wavelength as a function of size, coatings and surface defects. Finally, the distribution of CdSe nanocrystals between pseudophases in cloud point extraction was discussed based on experimental results. It was concluded that the size of CdSe nanocrystal present in an appropriate pseudophase is correlated with the way in which the non-ionic surfactant coats CdSe nanocrystals. FigureCoating of CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals with surfactants impacts nanocrystals' spectral features. Absorbance of first exciton absorption band was used to estimate ability of surfactant to disperse CdSe nanocrystals. Photoluminescence (PL) intensity and position of PL band were analysed in terms of nanocrystal's surface phenomena via surfactants applied for coating.
