An automated electrokinetic continuous sample introduction system for microfluidic chip-based capillary electrophoresis

An automated and continuous sample introduction system for microfluidic chip-based capillary electrophoresis (CE) was developed in this work. An efficient world-to-chip interface for chip-based CE separation was produced by horizontally connecting a Z-shaped fused silica capillary sampling probe to the sample loading channel of a crossed-channel chip. The sample presentation system was composed of an array of bottom-slotted sample vials filled alternately with samples and working electrolyte, horizontally positioned on a programmable linearly moving platform. On moving the array from one vial to the next, and scanning the probe, which was fixed with a platinum electrode on its tip, through the slots of the vials, a series of samples, each followed by a flow of working electrolyte was continuously introduced electrokinetically from the off-chip vials into the sample loading channel of the chip. The performance of the system was demonstrated in the separation and determination of FITC-labeled arginine and phenylalanine with LIF detection, by continuously introducing a train of different samples. Employing 4.5 kV sampling voltage (1000 V cm(-1) field strength) for 30 s and 1.8 kV separation voltage (400 V cm(-1) field strength) for 70 s, throughputs of 36 h(-1) were achieved with <1.0% carryover and 4.6, 3.2 and 4.0% RSD for arginine, FITC and phenylalanine, respectively (n = 11). Net sample consumption was only 240 nL for each sample.     

Fabrication of a monolithic sampling probe system for automated and continuous sample introduction in microchip-based CE

A fabrication process for producing monolithic sampling probes on glass chips, with tip diameters of a few hundred micrometers was developed, using simple tools including a glass cutter and a bench drill. Microfluidic chips with probes fabricated by this approach were coupled to a linearly moving slotted-vial array sample presentation system for performing continuous sample introduction in the chip-based CE system. On-chip horizontal tubular reservoirs containing working electrolyte and waste were used to maintain a stable hydrostatic pressure in the chip channels during prolonged working periods. The performance of the system was demonstrated in the separation of FITC-labeled amino acids with LIF detection, by continuously introducing a train of different samples without interruption. Throughputs of 30-60/h were achieved with <1.0% carry-over and reproducibilities in peak height of 3.6, 3.3, and 3.5% RSD for arginine, FITC, and phenylalanine, respectively (n = 11). Continuous analysis of a mixture of FITC-labeled amino acids for 2 h, involving 60 analytical cycles, yielded an RSD of 7.5 and 6.8% for arginine and FITC (n = 60), respectively. An extremely low sample consumption of 30 nL for each analysis was obtained. Separation efficiencies in plate numbers were in the range of 0.8-2x10(5)/m. In addition to the application in sample introduction, the sample/reagent introduction system was also used to produce working electrolyte gradients during a CE separation to improve the separation efficiency. Comparing with isocratic electrophoresis separation, gradient CE demonstrated better separation efficiencies for a mixture of FITC-labeled amino acids.

Fast and simple sample introduction for capillary electrophoresis microsystems

A newly designed capillary electrophoresis (CE) microchip with a simple and efficient sample introduction interface is described. The sample introduction is carried out directly on the separation channel through a sharp inlet tip placed in the sample vial, without an injection cross, complex microchannel layouts or hardware modification. Alternate placement of the inlet tip in vials containing the sample and buffer solutions permits a volume defined electrokinetic sample introduction. Such fast and simple sample introduction leads to highly reproducible signals with no observable carry over between different analyte concentrations. The performance of the system was demonstrated in flow-injection and CE measurements of nitroaromatic explosives and for on-chip enzymatic assays of glucose in the presence of ascorbic acid. Employing an 8 cm long separation channel and a separation voltage of 4000 V it offers high-throughput flow-injection assays of 100 samples h(-1) with a relative standard deviation of 3.7% for TNT (n= 100). Factors influencing the analytical performance of the new microchip have been characterized and optimized. Such ability to continuously introduce discrete samples into micrometer channels indicates great promise for high-speed microchip analysis.     

A microfluidic flow injection system for DNA assay with fluids driven by an on-chip integrated pump based on capillary and evaporation effects

A miniaturized flow injection analysis (FIA) system integrating a micropump on a microfluidic chip based on capillary and evaporation effects was developed. The pump was made by fixing a filter paper plug with a vent tube at the channel end, it requires no peripheral equipment and provides steady flow in the mul min(-1) range for FIA operation. Valve-free sample injection was achieved at nanolitre level using an array of slotted vials. The practical applicability of the system was demonstrated by DNA assay with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. A precision of 1.6% RSD (10.0 ng mul(-1), n = 15) was achieved with a sampling throughput of 76 h(-1) and sample consumption of 95 nl.     

Development of miniaturized multi-channel high-performance liquid chromatography for high-throughput analysis

We have developed miniaturized multi-channel high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. With this system, we can simultaneously separate multiple samples, using a single high-pressure gradient pump, a chip-based sample injection unit, a monolithic silica capillary column array, and a multi-channel UV detection unit based on fiber optics. The injection unit has a simplified structure composed of brass housing and a quartz microchip having microchannels and access ports, which enable a direct injection of sample to multi-channel by commercial multichannel micropipette. Moreover, that possesses a function of microvalve, and on-chip definition of sample injection plugs achieved with a cross channel injection method, providing each column of monolithic silica capillary array. The substances in channels were simultaneously detected with UV having multiple cells. Standard samples were analyzed for characterizing newly developed system, and sharp peaks were obtained with reproducibility data of < 0.9% (R.S.D.). Analysis of tryptic digestion of casein was also employed. These results show that the novel multi-channel HPLC system has the benefits for the high-throughput analysis in the post-genomic analysis/combinatorial chemistry.     

Sample vial influences on the accuracy and precision of carbon and oxygen isotope ratio analysis in continuous flow mass spectrometric applications

Due to the small amounts of sample gas involved in continuous flow mass spectrometric analysis, care should be taken to evaluate the influence of sample containers on the carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of samples. Data indicate that Na-glass and borosilicate glass vials, equipped with butyl rubber septa, can cause significant changes in the isotopic composition of CO(2) gas, even where sample gases are stored within the vial for less than one day. The magnitude of these changes varies from vial to vial. Given the leverage that contamination can potentially exert on small gas samples, each researcher should carefully evaluate the effect of sample vials in order to eliminate unknown and unwanted changes in the composition of samples.

Automated sampling system for the analysis of amino acids using microfluidic capillary electrophoresis

An improved automated continuous sample introduction system for microfluidic capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. A sample plate was designed into gear-shaped and was fixed onto the shaft of a step motor. Twenty slotted reservoirs for containing samples and working electrolytes were fabricated on the “gear tooth” of the plate. A single 7.5-cm long Teflon AF-coated silica capillary serves as separation channel, sampling probe, as well as liquid-core waveguide (LCW) for light transmission. Platinum layer deposited on the capillary tip serves as the electrode. Automated continuous sample introduction was achieved by scanning the capillary tip through the slots of reservoirs. The sample was introduced into capillary and separated immediately in the capillary with only about 2-nL gross sample consumption. The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method with LCW technique was used for detecting fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled amino acids. With electric-field strength of 320 V/cm for injection and separation, and 1.0-s sample injection time, a mixture of FITC-labeled arginine and leucine was separated with a throughput of 60/h and a carryover of 2.7%.     

Sequential injection sample introduction microfluidic-chip based capillary electrophoresis system

A sequential injection micro-sample introduction system was coupled to a microfluidic-chip based capillary electrophoresis system through a split–flow sampling interface integrated on the micro-chip. The microfluidic system measured 20×70×3 mm in dimension, and was produced using a non-lithographic approach with components readily available in the analytical laboratory. In the H-configuration channel design the horizontal separation channel was a 75 μm I.D.×60 mm quartz capillary, with two vertical side arms produced from plastic tubing. The conduits were embedded in silicon elastomer with a planar glass base. Sequential introduction of a series of samples with about 2.5% carryover was achieved at 48 h⁻¹ throughput with samples containing a mixture of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled amino acids using SI sample volumes of 3.3 μl and carrier flow-rate of 2.0 ml min⁻¹. Baseline separation was achieved for FITC-labeled arginine, phenylalanine, glycine and FITC (laser induced fluorescence detection) in sodium tetraborate buffer (pH 9.2) within 8–80 s, at separation lengths of 25–35 mm and electrical field strengths of 250–1500 V cm⁻¹, with plate heights in the 0.7–3 μm range.
