A replaceable dual-enzyme capillary microreactor using magnetic beads and its application for simultaneous detection of acetaldehyde and pyruvate

A novel replaceable dual-enzyme capillary microreactor was developed and evaluated using magnetic fields to immobilize the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)- and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-coated magnetic beads at desired positions in the capillary. The dual-enzyme assay was achieved by measuring the two consumption peaks of the coenzyme β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which were related to the ADH reaction and LDH reaction. The dual-enzyme capillary microreactor was constructed using magnetic beads without any modification of the inner surface of the capillary, and showed great stability and reproducibility. The electrophoretic resolution for different analytes can be easily controlled by altering the relative distance of different enzyme-coated magnetic beads. The apparent K(m) values for acetaldehyde with ADH-catalyzed reaction and for pyruvate with LDH-catalyzed reaction were determined. The detection limits for acetaldehyde and pyruvate determination are 0.01 and 0.016 mM (S/N = 3), respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to simultaneously determine the acetaldehyde and pyruvate contents in beer samples. The results indicated that combing magnetic beads with CE is of great value to perform replaceable and controllable multienzyme capillary microreactor for investigation of a series of enzyme reactions and determination of multisubstrates.     

Template synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer nanotube membranes for chemical separations

In this report, we describe the synthesis of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanotube membrane, using a porous anodic alumina oxide (AAO) membrane by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The use of a MIP nanotube membrane in chemical separations gives the advantage of high affinity and selectivity. Furthermore, because the molecular imprinting technique can be applied to different kinds of target molecules, ranging from small organic molecules to peptides and proteins, such MIP nanotube membranes will considerably broaden the application of nanotube membranes in chemical separations and sensors. This report also shows that the ATRP route is an efficient procedure for the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers. Furthermore, the ATRP route works well in its formation of MIP nanotubes within a porous AAO membrane. The controllable nature of ATRP allows the growth of a MIP nanotube with uniform pores and adjustable thickness. Thus, using the same route, it is possible to tailor the synthesis of MIP nanotube membranes with either thicker MIP nanotubes for capacity improvement or thinner nanotubes for efficiency improvement.     

Controllable polymerization of N-carboxy anhydrides in a microreaction system

We have developed a microfluidic system for polymerization of amino acid N-carboxyanhydride and compared the properties of the products with those obtained by batchwise system under various experimental conditions. It was found that the microreactor produced polymers with narrower molecular weight distribution compared with polymers obtained by the batchwise system. Also, the molecular mass of the polymer produced using the microreactor was simply governed by the flow (pumping) rate. These results indicated that the microreactor could be a model for synthesis of amino acid polymer with highly controllable average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution.     

Ionic-liquid supported oxidation reactions in a silicon-based microreactor

The combination of microfabrication and reaction engineering techniques has the potential to produce powerful microreactors. In a microreactor, aqueous buffers provide high electroosmatic mobility and no external pumping is required. While numerous reactions have been demonstrated to be highly efficient in microreactors, so far there has been no report on the epoxidation of cyclohexene in a microreactor. This is mainly due to the reduced solubility of cyclohexene in aqueous media. The greater volatility of cyclohexene leading to long reaction times is another reason. To improve the solubility of cyclohexene in the reaction buffer, a water soluble ionic-liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate was used, also for the first time in microreactor work. In this letter, four different catalysts (i.e., manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes of Schiff and reduced Schiff bases) were synthesized and used for the oxidation reactions considered. The reactions were monitored by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The microreactor performance was evaluated by comparing with a conventional (batch scale) reaction. Catalytic activities and yields were found to be relatively high for the copper(II) complexes as compared with the conventional route.

The technique utilizes the trypsin microreactor by immobilized enzyme on the glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-modified cellulose membrane. The membrane micro-reactor was used for the tryptic mapping of cytochrome C and the results were compared with those obtained by using free trypsin. A significant increase in the overall sensitivity of the process was observed using the membrane microreactor, as well as the elimination of background signals due to the autolysis of the trypsin. Further, membrane microreactor digestions were found to be rapid and convenient.

PDMS-glass hybrid microreactor array with embedded temperature control device. Application to cell-free protein synthesis

A microreactor array was developed which enables high-throughput cell-free protein synthesis. The microreactor array is composed of a temperature control chip and a reaction chamber chip. The temperature control chip is a glass-made chip on which temperature control devices, heaters and temperature sensors, are fabricated with an ITO (indium tin oxide) resistive material. The reaction chamber chip is fabricated by micromolding of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), and is designed to have an array of reaction chambers and flow channels for liquid introduction. The microreactor array is assembled by placing the reaction chamber chip on the temperature control chip. The small thermal mass of the reaction chamber resulted in a short thermal time constant of 170 ms for heating and 3 s for cooling. The performance of the microreactor array was examined through the experiments of cell-free protein synthesis. By measuring the fluorescence emission from the products, it was confirmed that GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) and BFP (Blue Fluorescent Protein) were successfully synthesized using Escherichia coli extract.
