Construction of a light-emitting diode fluorescence detector for high-performance liquid chromatography and its application to fluorometric determination of L-3-hydroxybutyrate

This study employed a new light source, a light-emitting diode (LED), for fluorescence detection of high-performance liquid chromatography to measure the concentration of trace constituents in biological fluids. Using l-3-hydroxybutyrate ( l-3HB) as a tested trace compound, the function of the new system was compared with that of the current commercially available model. A detailed schematic diagram of the path of the detection rays in the LED detector is given. A voltage-stabilizer for the drive circuit was designed with an input of 10 V and an output of 8 V, and another voltage regulator was used to maintain a constant 8 V. Then the regulator was used to set the output voltage for the LED at 2.8 V by two external resistors. Replacing the xenon lamp with LED, this system provided higher photon density and a narrow spectrum at a wavelength of 491 nm. At room temperature (22.1°C), the average temperature of six places in the chamber of LED detector was 22.1°C compared with 51.1°C in the xenon detector. The spectra of the excitation light sources were measured. Compared with the xenon lamp, approximately 1.32 times higher excitation intensity was obtained by the LED source. The accuracy of detection of l-3HB in 50 μL of rat serum was 99.85-100.85%, and the intra-day and inter-day precision values were within 8.99 and 13.90%, respectively. The limit of detection of l-3HB was approximately 0.73 μM (signal-to-noise ratio 3). The sensitivity of the proposed LED detector was comparable to that of traditional fluorescence detectors using xenon arc lamps; however, the cost and operating temperature of LED lamps were far lower. This assay system could be further used to detect trace constituents in various samples.     

A simplified poly(dimethylsiloxane) capillary electrophoresis microchip integrated with a low-noise contactless conductivity detector

A contactless conductivity detector integrated into a poly(dimethylsiloxane) microchip for electrophoresis is presented. It adopted the simplest configuration of electrodes commonly used in this detection mode for capillary electrophoresis microchips. Although the chip is based on a simple and effective design, it is able to obtain low detection levels due to the low noise of the detection circuit. A circuit based on a lock-in amplifier was designed on printed circuit boards to read out the signal. The property of the detection cell was studied by applying excitation signals of different frequencies and different amplitudes. It was found that the best detection limit could be achieved with a frequency of 50?kHz and amplitude of 20?V. The performance of the detector was demonstrated by successfully separating and detecting several inorganic ions and also a mixture of heavy metal ions. An average detection limit of 0.4?μM was obtained for inorganic cations. This value is significantly improved compared to similar microchip-based detectors. The presented detector could be promising for mass production due to its properties, such as simple construction, high degree of integration, high performance and low cost.

Calculation of parameters of combined electrical discharges—I Model of constant equivalent gap voltage

The parameters of combined discharges, which represent the superposition on a burning d.c. arc of an impulse discharge, were studied. Simple relationships based on approximating a gap voltage with a constant equivalent value were derived, which enable the calculation of the peak current, peak current time, current pulse duration, energy released in the gap, and current pulse shape from the electrical parameters of the discharge circuit.     

Simple power supply for power load controlled isoelectric focusing

The power supply for IEF based on features of the Cockcroft‐Walton voltage multiplier (CW VM) is described in this work. The article describes a design of the IEF power supply, its electric characteristics, and testing by IEF analysis. A circuit diagram of the power supply included two opposite charged branches (each consisting of four voltage doublers). The designed CW VM was powered by 230 V/50 Hz alternate current and it generated up to 5 kV and 90 mW at the output. Voltage and current characteristics of the power supply were measured by known load resistances in the range from 10 kΩ to 1 GΩ, which is a common resistance range for IEF strip geometry. Further, the power supply was tested by a separation of a model mixture of colored pI markers using a 175 × 3 × 0.5 mm focusing bed. Automatically limited power load enabled analysis of samples without previous optimization of the focusing voltage or electric current time courses according to sample composition. Moreover, the developed power supply did not produce any intrinsic heat and was easy to set up with cheap and commonly available parts.     

A helium ionization detector with a thermionic electron emitter for gas chromatography

The principal circuit of a helium ionization detector with a thermionic electron emitter (He-IDTEE) is described. The detector works at atmospheric pressure. The characteristics of the detector were studied. The difference between the voltammetric characteristics of He-IDTEE and that of a helium ionization detector with a radioactive source was shown. The dependences of the analytical signal, background signal, and noise on an accelerating voltage were analyzed. The dependences of the signal-to-noise ratio on the accelerating voltage were studied at different cathode temperatures. The optimal working conditions of the detector were selected. The detection threshold and linear dynamic range were measured. For isobutane, they were 3 × 10^?9 vol % and 2–4 orders of magnitude, respectively.     

337 - Properties of single calcium channels in the neuronal membrane

The neurons of snail Helix pomatia were internally dialysed and the current through the small electrically isolated patches of the membrane was measured under voltage clamp. The area of the patches was between 30–300 μm² (from 1/1000 to 1/100 of the cell surface). The analysis of current fluctuations was used to measure the characteristics of a single calcium channel. The measurements were performed under conditions ensuring the saturation of the calcium channels; the external solution contained 130 mM of Ba²⁺. The power density spectra of the barium current fluctuations fitted a spectral density function of the Lorentz form which is characteristic of a single time constant process. The time constant obtained demonstrated no dependence on either the membrane voltage or on the acting conductance value. The value of the time constant was 0.7 ± 0.2 ms [standard error (S.E.) of mean]. No distinct I/f noise component was found. The current flowing through a single calcium channel had the value (for the transfer of Ba²⁺ ions) 0.20 ± 0.02 pA (S.E.). The single channel current did not depend on either the membrane potential (since the equilibrium potential was very high) or on the inactivation. The maximum calcium inward current which flows through a single calcium channel is around 0.1 pA and corresponds to a conductance of 0.5 pS.     

Minimizing UV noise in supercritical fluid chromatography. I. Improving back pressure regulator pressure noise

Pressure fluctuations and resulting refractive index changes, induced by the back pressure regulator (BPR) can be a significant source of UV detector noise in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The refractive index (RI) of pure carbon dioxide (CO(2)) changes ≈0.2%/bar at the most commonly used conditions in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) (40 °C and 100 bar), compared to 0.0045%/bar for water (CO(2) IS 44× worse). Changes in RI cause changes in the focal length of the detector cell which results in changes in UV intensity entering the detector. The change in RI (ΔRI/bar) of CO(2) decreases 8-fold at 200 bar, compared to 100 bar. A new back pressure regulator (BPR) design representing an order of magnitude improvement in the state of the art is shown to produce peak to peak pressure noise (PN(p-p)) as low as 0.1 bar, at 200 bar, and 20Hz, compared to older equipment that attempted to maintain PN(p-p)<1bar, at <5Hz. With this lower PN(p-p), changes in baseline UV offsets could be measured as a function of very small changes in pressure. A pressure change of ±1 bar at 100 bar, common with some older BPR's, produced a UV baseline offset >0.5 mAU. A pressure change of ±0.5 bar representing the previous state-of-the-art, resulted in a UV offset of 0.3m AU. Baseline noise <0.05 is required to validate methods for trace analysis. The new BPR, with a PN(p-p) of 0.1 bar, demonstrated UV peak to peak noise (N(p-p))<0.02 mAU with a >0.03 min (10Hz) electronic filter under some conditions. This new low noise level makes it possible to validate SFC methods for the first time.
