In this work we show how energy-filtered imaging can be used to obtain spectrum images of electron energy-loss spectrometric
data. Focus is placed on improved energy resolution within these data sets. Using two multilayer samples (GaN/AlN and InP/InAs),
we demonstrate the advantages of spectrum-imaging and its extended mapping capabilities. Plasmon-ratio maps are used to quickly
create high-contrast material maps with high signal-to-noise ratio, ratio-contrast plots are used to gain optimum settings
for the ratio maps, and plasmon-position maps are used to map small shifts of the energy position of bulk plasmon peaks.

Thin nanoporous alumina obtained by anodization of aluminum films offers promising advantages for application in fluorescence-based biological sensors including convenient preparation, increased density of binding sites, and improved collection efficiency of fluorescence. These advantages are illustrated in the detection of streptavidin using biotin covalently bound to the surface of alumina nanopores. Fluorescence intensity enhancement as high as 7 times is observed in nanopores in comparison to flat glass surface.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the development of nanoscale sensors that outperform conventional biosensors.
This review summarizes the nanoscale biosensors that use aptamers as molecular recognition elements. The advantages of aptamers
over antibodies as sensors are highlighted. These advantages are especially apparent with electrical sensors such as electrochemical
sensors or those using field-effect transistors.

Purification methods for proteomics samples are of crucial concern for improving the quality of the sample delivered to the
mass spectrometer. They constitute the link between the mass spectrometer and protein processing and peptide isolation steps
that usually require solvents, buffers, or detergents completely incompatible with MS-analysis conditions. This work describes
three new clean-up procedures using synthetic membranes and polymer media and compares them with standard procedures. The
efficiency of each of the purification procedures was studied via application to four standards and two membrane proteins.
This work highlights the importance of versatility in sample preparation, especially for MS-based proteomic investigations.

On-line NMR detection of microgram quantities of heparin-derived oligosaccharides and their structure elucidation by microcoil NMR 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The isolation and purification of sufficient quantities of heparin-derived oligosaccharides for characterization by NMR is
a tedious and time-consuming process. In addition, the structural complexity and microheterogeneity of heparin makes its characterization
a challenging task. The improved mass-sensitivity of microcoil NMR probe technology makes this technique well suited for characterization
of mass-limited heparin-derived oligosaccharides. Although microcoil probes have poorer concentration sensitivity than conventional
NMR probes, this limitation can be overcome by coupling capillary isotachophoresis (cITP) with on-line microcoil NMR detection
(cITP-NMR). Strategies to improve the sensitivity of on-line NMR detection through changes in probe design and in the cITP-NMR
experimental protocol are discussed. These improvements in sensitivity allow acquisition of cITP-NMR survey spectra facilitating
tentative identification of unknown oligosaccharides. Complete structure elucidation for microgram quantities of the purified
material can be carried out through acquisition of 2D NMR spectra using a CapNMR microcoil probe.

The simultaneous use of several fluorescent reporter dyes in a multicomponent boronic acid-based glucose sensing system is
reported. In one application, two dyes with widely different emission wavelengths are used to report changes in glucose concentration.
A third glucose-insensitive dye was then added to act as a reference dye and provide for a ratiometric correction to the two
reporter dye signals. The inclusion of such a reference dye reduces errors arising from sources such as fluctuations in lamp
intensity and sample dilution.

A chemical prototype sensor was constructed based on nanofiber-structured TiO2 and highly sensitive quartz resonators. The gas-sensing behavior of this new sensor to selected simulant warfare agents was
investigated at room temperature. Results showed rapid response and good reversibility of this sensor when used with high-purity
nitrogen. This provides a simple approach to preparation of materials needed as chemical sensors for selected organic volatiles
or warfare agents.

X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy spectra were collected for three brominated persistent pollutants: 6-bromo-2,4,5-trichlorophenol
(BrTriClP), pentabromophenol (PentaBrP) and 3,3′,5,5′-tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBA). The substances were selected to be symmetrical
(BrTriClP and TBBA) or asymmetrical (PentaBrP) with respect to the atomic Br positions and to differ in the number of bromine
and other halide atoms, as well as their relative positions. The asymmetrical PentaBrP was modelled with special detail as
not all bromine atoms have identical coordination environments. The studied substances displayed unique EXAFS spectra, which
could be used to determine the molecular structure in fair detail. We conclude that EXAFS spectroscopy is a suitable technique
for molecular characterization of the comparatively complex molecules within the class of compounds of brominated organic
persistent pollutants. A detailed understanding of the EXAFS spectra of the pure compounds opens up possibilities to study
the interactions with soil and sediment matrices by means of EXAFS spectroscopy.

Enzymatically cleaved glycans from sub-milligram quantities of erythropoietin (EPO) and ovalbumin have been analyzed, without
further purification, by two-dimensional diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. At NMR sample concentrations
below 50 μmol L−1 the major components of the oligosaccharide fractions could be distinguished by their anomeric proton chemical shift and
their size-dependent diffusion coefficients.

The drugs of abuse cocaine (C), heroin (H), and morphine (M) have been studied to enable understanding of the occurrence of
cocaine–opioid interactions at a molecular level. Electrochemical, Raman, and NMR studies of the free drugs and their mixtures
were used to study drug–drug interactions. The results were analyzed using data obtained from quantum-mechanical calculations.
For the cocaine–morphine mixture (C–MH), formation of a binary complex was detected; this involved the 3-phenolic group and
the heterocyclic oxygen of morphine and the carbonyl oxygen and the methyl protons of cocaine’s methyl ester group. NMR studies
conducted simultaneously also revealed C–MH binding geometry consistent with theoretical predictions and with electrochemical
and vibrational spectroscopy results. These results provide evidence for the occurrence of a cocaine–morphine interaction,
both in the solid state and in solution, particularly for the hydrochloride form. A slight interaction, in solution, was also
detected by NMR for the cocaine–heroin mixture.

The photodecomposition of imazamox, a herbicide of the imidazolinone family, was investigated in pure water. The main photoproducts
from the photolysis were followed over time by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry and structures were proposed from exact
mass determinations obtained by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The method
comprised exact mass determination with better than 0.2 ppm mass accuracy and a corresponding structural visualization taking
care of respective isotopes with an adapted van Krevelen diagram that enabled a systematic approach to the characterisation
of the elementary composition of each photoproduct. By taking advantage of the high resolving power of FT-ICR MS to make precise
formula assignments, the derived 2D van Krevelen diagram (O/C; H/C; m/z) enabled one to structurally differentiate the formed photoproducts and to propose a degradation pathway for imazamox.

The present study deals with the application of self-organizing maps (SOM) and multiway principal-components analysis to classify,
model, and interpret a large monitoring data set for surface water quality. The chemometric methods applied made it possible
to reveal specific quality patterns of the chemical and biological parameters used to monitor the water quality (relation
between water temperature, turbidity, hardness, colibacteria), seasonal impacts during the long period of observation and
the relative independence on the spatial location of the sampling sites (water supply sources for the City of Trieste).

A high-current pulsed hollow cathode discharge was used to study the role of atomic and ionic metastables involved in ionization
plasma processes. We observed the enhancement of the spectral emission lines of noble gas ions in the afterglow. A study of
the processes that involve atomic and ionic metastables is of great interest since it should lead to a better understanding
of and enhanced control over the ionization mechanisms crucial to analytical glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) analysis.

This study describes the application of Raman spectroscopy to the detection of drugs of abuse and noncontrolled substances
used in the adulteration of drugs of abuse on human nail. Contamination of the nail may result from handling or abusing these
substances. Raman spectra of pure cocaine hydrochloride, a seized street sample of cocaine hydrochloride (77%), and paracetamol
could be acquired from drug crystals on the surface of the nail. An added difficulty in the analytical procedure is afforded
by the presence of a nail varnish coating the nail fragment. By using confocal Raman spectroscopy, spectra of the drugs under
nail varnish could be acquired. Spectra of the drugs could be readily obtained nondestructively within three minutes with
little or no sample preparation. Raman spectra could be acquired from drug particles with an average size of 5–20 μm. Acquisition
of Raman point maps of crystals from both pure and street samples of cocaine hydrochloride under nail varnish is also reported.

An intercomparison to establish the performance of routine laboratories in the determination of polybrominated flame retardants
in polymers was organised. Commercial poly(ethyleneterephthalate) was fortified with technical pentabromodiphenyl ether, octabromodiphenyl
ether and decabromodiphenyl ether mixtures and with a decabromobiphenyl technical mixture at 0.4–0.8 g/kg. Homogeneity and
stability of the total Br content in the material was confirmed. Thirty-seven laboratories from Europe, Asia and the Americas
submitted results. Relative repeatability standard deviations for individual congeners ranged from 7 to 17%. Relative between-laboratory
standard deviations ranged from 22 to 61%. No significant influence of a common standard, application of a standard method
or method parameters could be identified. The quality and uncertainty of the results of this study are significantly worse
than those reported in the environmental field and indicate a clear need for a learning process among the laboratories involved.

Impedance spectroscopy is proposed as the transduction principle for detecting the hybridization of DNA complementary strands.
In our experiments, different DNA oligonucleotides were used as model gene substances. The gene probe is first immobilized
on a graphite-epoxy composite working electrode based genosensor. Detection principle is based on changes of impedance spectra
of a redox marker, the ferro/ferricyanide couple, after hybridization with target DNA. Resistance offered to the electrochemical
reaction serves as the working signal, allowing for an unlabelled gene assay.

Smoothing and passivation of special Si(111) substrates: studied by SPV,PL, AFM and SEM measurements
Angermann H Rappich J Sieber I Hübener K Hauschild J 《Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry》2008,390(6):1463-1470
Surface sensitive techniques, the field-modulated surface photovoltage, photoluminescence measurements, atomic force microscopy
and scanning electron microscopy, were employed to yield detailed information on the influence of wet-chemical treatments
on the preparation induced microroughness and electronic properties of wet-chemically passivated Si(111) substrates with special
surface morphology. Stepped substrates with evenly distributed atomically flat terraces were prepared and passivated by thin
oxide layers, which were used as a starting point for the subsequent H-termination after long storage in air. It was shown
that their surface morphology and electronic properties do not degrade. Applying this preparation method to solar cell substrates
with randomly distributed Si(111) pyramids, we achieved significantly lower densities of surface states and reduced recombination
loss at a-Si:H/c-Si interfaces, compared with conventional pretreatments. The surface microroughness, the density of rechargeable
states and the resulting recombination loss on a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunctions were found to be mainly influenced by two steps
of surface pretreatment: firstly, the wet-chemical smoothing procedure of structured substrates and, secondly, the removal
of native and wet-chemical oxides during the final etching in HF- or NH4F- containing solutions.

Templating is an effective way for the structural modifications of a material and hence for altering its functional properties.
Here protein imprinting was exploited to alter polymeric polyacrylamide (PAA) membranes. The sieving properties and selection
abilities of the material formed were evaluated by studying the electrically driven transport of various proteins across templated
PAA membranes. The sieving properties correlated with the templating process and depended on the quantity of template used
during the polymerisation. For 1 mg/mL protein-templated membranes a ‘gate effect’ was shown, which induced a preferential
migration of the template and of similar-size proteins. Such template preferential electrotransport was exploited for the
selective removal of certain proteins in biological fluids prior to proteome analysis (depletion of albumin from human serum);
the efficiency of the removal was demonstrated by analysing the serum proteome by two-dimensional electrophoresis experiments.

Acetone plays an important role in the chemistry of both the atmosphere and the ocean, due to its potential effect on the
tropospheric HOx (= HO + HO2) budget, as well as its environmental and health effects. We discuss the development of a mobile, sensitive, selective, economical
and facile method for the determination of acetone in seawater. The method consists of derivatizing acetone to its pentafluorobenzyl
oxime using 1,2,3,4,5-pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine (PFBHA), followed by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and analysis
by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A detection limit of 3.0 nM was achieved. The buffering capacity of seawater
imposes challenges in using the method’s optimum pH (3.7) on seawater samples, requiring calibration standards to be made
in buffered salt water and the acidification of seawater samples and standards prior to extraction. We employed the technique
for analysis of selected surface seawater samples taken on the Nordic seas during the ARK-XX/1 cruise (R.V. Polarstern). An upper limit of 5.5–9.6 nM was observed for acetone in these waters, the first acetone measurements reported for far
North Atlantic and Arctic waters.
