Abstract
A versatile millifluidic 3D-printed inverted Y-shaped unit (3D-YSU) was prototyped to ameliorate the concentration capability of nonsupported microelectromembrane extraction (μ-EME), exploiting optosensing detection for real-time monitoring of the enriched acceptor phase (AP). Continuous forward-flow and stop-and-go flow modes of the donor phase (DP) were implemented via an automatic programmable-flow system to disrupt the electrical double layer generated at the DP/organic phase (OP) interface while replenishing the potentially depleted layers of analyte in DP. To further improve the enrichment factor (EF), the organic holding section of the OP/AP channel was bifurcated to increase the interfacial contact area between the DP and the OP. Exploiting the synergistic assets of (i) the continuous forward-flow of DP (1050 μL), (ii) the unique 3D-printed cone-shaped pentagon cross-sectional geometry of the OP/AP channel, (iii) the bifurcation of the OP that creates an inverted Y-shape configuration, and (iv) the in situ optosensing of the AP, a ca. 24 EF was obtained for a 20 min extraction using methylene blue (MB) as a model analyte. The 3D-YSU was leveraged for the unsupervised μ-EME and the determination of MB in textile dye and urban wastewater samples, with relative recoveries ≥88%. This is the first work toward analyte preconcentration in μ-EME with in situ optosensing of the resulting extracts using 3D-printed millifluidic platforms.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent progress performed in the design and application of analytical tools and methodologies using nanomaterials for pharmaceutical analysis, and specifically new nanomedicines at distinct phases of development and translation from preclinical to clinical stages. Over the last 10-15 years, a growing number of studies have utilized various nanomaterials, including carbon-based, metallic nanoparticles, polymeric nanomaterials, materials based on biological molecules, and composite nanomaterials as tools for improving the analysis of pharmaceutical products. New and more complex nanomaterials are currently being explored to influence different stages of the analytical process. These materials provide unique properties to support the extraction of analytes in complex samples, increase the selectivity and efficiency of chromatographic separations, and improve the analytical properties of many sensor applications. Indeed, nanomaterials, including electrochemical detection approaches and biosensing, are expanding at a remarkable rate. Furthermore, the analytical performance of numerous approaches to determine drugs in different matrices can be significantly improved in terms of precision, detection limits, selectivity, and time of analysis. However, the quality control and metrological characterization of the currently synthesized nanomaterials still depend on the development of new and improved analytical methodologies, and the application of specific and improved instrumentation. Therefore, there is still much to explore about the properties of nanomaterials which need to be determined even more precisely and accurately.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1297:342362. [PMID: 38438239 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a quest of novel functional and reliable platforms for enhancing the efficiency of microextraction approaches in troublesome matrices, such as industrial wastewaters. 3D printing has been proven superb in the analytical field to act as the springboard of microscale extraction approaches. RESULTS In this work, low-force stereolithography (SL) was exploited for 3D printing and prototyping bespoke fluidic devices for accommodating nonsupported microelectromembrane extraction (μEME). The analytical performance of 3D-printed μEME devices with distinct cross-sections, including square, circle, and obround, and various channel dimensions was explored against that of commonly used circular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing in flow injection systems. A computer-controlled millifluidic system was harnessed for the (i) automatic liquid-handling of minute volumes of donor, acceptor, and organic phases at the low μL level that spanned from 3 to 44 μL in this work, (ii) formation of three-phase μEME, (iii) in-line extraction, (iv) flow-through optical detection of the acceptor phase, and (v) solvent removal and regeneration of the μEME device and fluidic lines. Using methylene blue (MB) as a model analyte, experimental results evinced that the 3D-printed channels with an obround cross-section (2.5 mm × 2.5 mm) were the most efficient in terms of absolute extraction recovery (59%), as compared to PTFE tubing of 2.5 mm inner diameter (27%). This is attributed to the distinctive convex interface of the organic phase (1-octanol), with a more pronounced laminar pattern, in 3D-printed SL methacrylate-based fluidic channels against that of PTFE tubing on account of the enhanced 1-octanol wettability and lower contact angles for the 3D-printed devices. The devices with obround channels were leveraged for the automatic μEME and in-line clean-up of MB in high matrix textile dyeing wastewater samples with relative recoveries ≥81%, RSD% ≤ 17.1% and LOD of 1.3 mg L-1. The 3D-printed nonsupported μEME device was proven superb for the analysis of wastewater samples with an elevated ionic strength (0.7 mol L-1 NaCl, 5000 mg L-1 Na2CO3, and 0.013 mol L-1 NaOH) with recorded electric currents below 12 μA. NOVELTY The coupling of 3D printing with nonsupported μEME in automatic flow-based systems is herein proposed for the first time and demonstrated for the clean-up of troublesome samples, such as wastewaters.

Development of a β-cyclodextrin-modified gold nanoparticle-assisted electromembrane extraction method followed by capillary electrophoresis for methadone determination in plasma.

Abstract
In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were used to assist with electromembrane extraction (EME) and were coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) and ultraviolet (UV) detection (CE-UV) for the extraction and measurement of methadone from plasma samples. A β-CD-modified AuNP-reinforced hollow fiber (HF) was utilized in this work. The β-CD-modified AuNPs act as an absorbent and provide an extra pathway for the analyte extraction. For obtaining the effect of the presence of β-CD-modified AuNPs in the HF pores, the extraction efficiency of the EME and β-CD-modified AuNPs/EME techniques were compared. Different parameters influencing the extraction efficacy of the EME and β-CD-modified AuNPs/EME methods were optimized. Optimal extractions were performed with 1-octanol as the organic solvent in the supported liquid membrane (SLM), with an applied voltage of 10 V as the driving force across the SLM, and with pH 7.0 in the donor solutions with a stirring speed of 1000 rpm after 20 min and 25 min for the β-CD-modified AuNPs/EME and EME methods, respectively. Under optimal conditions, compared with the EME method, the β-CD-modified AuNPs/EME method exhibited increased extraction efficacy in a short time. The β-CD-modified AuNPs/EME technique demonstrated a lower limit of detection (5.0 ng mL-1), higher extraction recovery (68%), and a more optimal preconcentration factor (135). Furthermore, this method was successfully utilized for measuring methadone in real plasma samples.

Abstract
Sample pretreatment in analytical chemistry is critical, and the selection of materials for sample pretreatment is a key factor for high enrichment ability, good practicality, and satisfactory recoveries. In this review, the recent progress of the sample pretreatment methods based on various nanomaterials (i.e., carbon nanomaterials, porous nanomaterials, and magnetic nanomaterials) with excellent adsorption efficiency, selectivity, and reproducibility, as well as their applications, are presented. Due to the unique nanoscale physical–chemical properties, magnetic nanomaterials have been used for the extraction of target analytes by easy-to-handle magnetic separation under a magnetic field, which can avoid cumbersome centrifugation and filtration steps. This review also highlights the preparation process and reaction mechanism of nanomaterials used in the sample pretreatment methods, which have been applied for the extraction organophosphorus pesticides, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, phenoxy carboxylic acids, tetracycline antibiotics, hazardous metal ions, and rosmarinic acid. In addition, the remaining challenges and future directions for nanomaterials used as sorbents in the sample pretreatment are discussed.
