Use of a Carbon-ink Microelectrode Array for Signal Enhancement in Microchip Electrophoresis with Electrochemical Detection

In this communication, we demonstrate that a carbon ink microelectrode array, where the electrodes are held at the same potential, affords significant signal enhancement in microchip electrophoresis with amperometric detection. The ability to fabricate an array of carbon ink microelectrodes with a palladium decoupler was demonstrated and the resulting electrodes were integrated with a valving microchip design. The use of an 8 electrode array led to a significant improvement in the limits of detection at the expense of separation resolution due to the increased detection zone size. It is also shown that microdialysis sampling can be integrated with the microchip device and a multi-analyte separation achieved.

DNA Separation by Microchip Electrophoresis Using Copolymers of Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and Hydroxyethylcellulose

Copolymers of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) were synthesized, with PVP to HEC molar ratios of 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1. The copolymers were tested as separation media in DNA fragment separation analysis by microchip electrophoresis (MCE). Separation efficiency over 3.8×10⁵ for 118 bp has been reached by using the bare channels without the additional polymer coating step. Under optimized separation conditions for longer read length DNA sequencing, the separation ability of the copolymers decreased with decreasing (PVP‐co‐HEC) molar ratio from 3:1 to 2:1 and 1:1. In comparison with (PVP‐co‐HEC) 1:1, the copolymer with (PVP‐co‐HEC) 3:1 ratio showed high separation efficiency. By using a 20 g·L^?1 copolymer with (PVP‐co‐HEC) 3:1 ratio, ΦΧ174‐HaeIII digest DNA marker was successfully separated within 3 min.     

Measurement of Nitrogen Mustard Degradation Products by Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Microchip Electrophoresis with Contactless Conductivity Detection

A poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device with contactless conductivity detection for the determination of nitrogen mustard degradation products is reported. Three alkyl ethanolamines: N‐methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), N‐ethyldiethanolamine (EDEA), and triethanolamine (TEA), (degradation/ precursor products of HN‐1, HN‐2 and HN‐3 blister agents) were analyzed by microchip capillary electrophoresis (CE). The original PDMS channel was coated by poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) to improve the separation of three ethanolamines. Experimental conditions for the separation and detection processes have been optimized to yield well defined separation and high sensitivity. The response times for the three ethanolamines were less than 5 min., the detection limits were 2.0–4.0 mg L^?1 and the relative standard derivations for the migration times and peak heights were 1.6–2.3% and 4.1–5.7%, respectively. The linearity of calibration for each of the compounds was as follows: MDEA, r²=0.970; EDEA, r²=0.994; TEA, r²=0.988. Applicability of this method for natural (lake and tap) water samples was also demonstrated. Compared to conventional analytical methods, this miniaturized system offers promise for on‐site monitoring of degradation products of the nitrogen mustard class of chemical warfare agents, with advantages of cost‐effective construction, simple operation, portability, and small required sample volumes.     

Nickel Amperometric Detector Prepared by Electroless Deposition for Microchip Electrophoretic Measurement of Alcohols and Sugars

Nickel was deposited directly at the end of an electrophoretic glass microchip using an electroless deposition procedure leading to an attractive amperometric detector for sugars and alcohols. Such direct electroless deposition of nickel at the end of the separation chip greatly simplifies the preparation of on‐chip electrochemical detectors. Variables affecting the preparation and operation of the new detector are characterized and optimized. The integrated capillary electrophoresis‐electrochemical detection microsystem was evaluated for the separation of alcohols and sugars in connection to assays of different beer and wine samples. Linear calibration plots and favorable detection limits are found that meet the needs of real sample (wine and beer) analyses. This represents the first example of using nickel electrode and detecting alcohols on microchip platforms.

Determination of Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drugs in Serum by Microchip Capillary Electrophoresis with Electrochemical Detection

A simple and rapid method has been developed for the analysis of four nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in serum using microchip capillary electrophoresis with pulsed amperometric detection. The selected NSAIDs (salicylic acid, acetaminophen, diflunisal, and diclofenac) are among the most commonly used drugs to treat fever, inflammation, and pain. Used above the therapeutic levels, these drugs can cause a wide variety of adverse effects and their fast analysis could have a significant impact in treatment and recovery of the patients. Several conditions, including separation potential, pH, and concentration of the electrolyte solution were studied to optimize the separation and detection. In this study, salicylic acid, acetaminophen, diflunisal, and diclofenac were separated in less than 2 minutes using a 5 mM borate buffer at pH 11.5 and a separation potential of +1200 V. Linear relationships were obtained between the concentration and peak current in the 0.5–15.3 μg/mL range and detection limits around 0.26 μg/mL. After 30 consecutive injections, the stability of both the response and migration time of the analytes showed relative related deviations of less than 4.6% and 1.0%, respectively. The potential of this method was verified by spiking a bovine serum sample with the four NSAIDs and analyzing the recovery ratio.

The results of gel electrophoresis confirmed DNA damage obtained in identical samples by electrochemical method.     

Analysis and interpretation of mixture DNA using AS‐PCR of mtDNA

Semi‐nested PCR with allele‐specific (AS) primers and sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were performed to analyze and interpret DNA mixtures, especially when biological materials were degraded or contained a limited amount of DNA. SNP‐STR markers were available to identify the minor DNA component using AS‐PCR; moreover, SNPs in mtDNA could be used when the degraded or limited amounts of DNA mixtures were not successful with SNP‐STR markers. Five pairs of allele‐specific primers were designed based on three SNPs (G15043A, T16362C, and T16519C). The sequence of mtDNA control region of minor components was obtained using AS‐PCR and sequencing. Sequences of the amplification fragments were aligned and compared with the sequences of known suspects or databases. When this assay was used with the T16362C and T16519C SNPs, we found it to be highly sensitive for detecting small amounts of DNA (～30 pg) and analyzing DNA mixtures of two contributors, even at an approximately 1‰ ratio of minor and major components. An exception was tests based on the SNP G15043A, which required approximately 300 pg of a 1% DNA mixture. In simulated three contributor DNA mixtures (at rate of 1:1:1), control region fragments from each contributor were detected and interpreted. AS‐PCR combined with semi‐nested PCR was successfully used to identify the mtDNA control region of each contributor, providing biological evidence for excluding suspects in forensic cases, especially when biological materials were degraded or had a limited amount of DNA.
