Fast electrophoretic analysis of individual mitochondria using microchip capillary electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection

The analysis of mitochondria by capillary electrophoresis usually takes longer than 20 min per replicate which may compromise the quality of the mitochondria due to degradation. In addition, low sample consumption may be beneficial in the analysis of rare or difficult samples. In this report, we demonstrate the ability to analyze individual mitochondrial events in picoliter-volume samples (approximately 80 pL) taken from a bovine liver preparation using microchip capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (micro-chip CE-LIF). Using a commercial "double-T" glass microchip, the sample was electrokinetically loaded in the "double-T" intersection and then subjected to electrophoretic separation along the main separation channel. In order to decrease interactions of mitochondria with channel walls during the analysis, poly(vinyl alcohol) was used as a dynamic coating. This procedure eliminates the need for complicated covalent surface modifications within the channels that were previously used in capillary electrophoresis methods. For analysis, mitochondria, isolated from bovine liver tissue, were selectively labelled using 10-nonyl acridine orange (NAO). The results consist of electropherograms where each mitochondrial event is a narrow spike (240 +/- 44 ms). While the spike intensity is representative of its NAO content, its migration time is used to calculate and describe its electrophoretic mobility, which is a property still largely unexplored for intracellular organelles. The five-fold decrease in separation time (4 min for microchip versus 20 min for capillary electrophoresis) makes microchip electrophoretic separations of organelles a faster, sensitive, low-sample volume alternative for the characterization of individual organelle properties and for investigations of subcellular heterogeneity.

Rapid analysis of atorvastatin calcium using capillary electrophoresis and microchip electrophoresis

In this work, a capillary electrophoretic method for the rapid quantitation of atorvastatin (AT) in a lipitor tablet was investigated and developed. Method development included studies of the effect of applied potential, buffer concentration, buffer pH, and hydrodynamic injection time on the electrophoretic separation. The method was validated with regard to linearity, precision, specificity, LOD, and LOQ. The optimum electrophoretic separation conditions were 25 mM sodium acetate buffer at pH 6, with a separation voltage of 25 kV using a 50 microm capillary of 33 cm total length. Sodium diclofenac was used as an internal standard. Analysis of AT in a commercial lipitor tablet by electrophoresis gave quite high efficiency, coupled with an analysis time of less than 1.2 min in comparison to LC. Once the separation was optimized on capillary, it was further miniaturized to a microchip platform, with linear imaging UV detection using microchip electrophoresis (MCE). Linear imaging UV detection allowed for real-time monitoring of the analyte movement on chip, so that the optimum separation time could be easily determined. This microchip electrophoretic method was compared to the CE method with regard to speed, efficiency, precision, and LOD. This work represents the most rapid and first reported analysis of AT using MCE.     

Rapid separation of antimicrobial metabolites by microchip electrophoresis with UV linear imaging detection

This research examines microchip electrophoresis with linear imaging UV detection for the analysis of antimicrobial metabolites, monoacetylphloroglucinol (MAPG) and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) from Pseudomonas fluorescens F113. Initial results show the separation of MAPG, 2,4-DAPG and resorcinol in less than 20 s. This was achieved using a quartz microchip with a separation channel length of 25 mm. In order to quantitate the amount of MAPG and 2,4-DAPG in a microbial cultured supernatant sample, on-chip sample introduction in a methanol/buffer matrix was investigated. Sample introduction/injection parameters were optimized to improve sensitivity and thus decrease the limit of detection (LOD). The amount of antimicrobial metabolites present was quantitated with a separation time of 15 s. A previously developed capillary electrophoretic method was compared to the microchip method in relation to speed, efficiency, precision, linear range and limit of detection. This investigation shows the fastest separation so far of these antimicrobial metabolites with high efficiency.     

A simple and compact blue diode laser powered excitation source for fluorescence detection in capillary electrochromatographic microchip separation

A simple and compact fluorescence excitation source was prepared using a 405 nm blue laser diode module and characterized in capillary electrochromatographic or capillary electrophoretic microchip separation. An inexpensive blue laser diode module with a tiny focusing lens was simply mounted at the center of an aluminum block on a miniature linear motion guide for heat dissipation and position control. A slit unit has a series of fifteen laser-machined slits with 1 mm space along the direction of the separation channel of the microchip above this unit. The laser beam was focused through a slit with 50 μm width to the separation channel at the position of a desired length. Although the excitation source unit was connected to a simple current controlled power supply, it was stable with 0.1% drift per hour and 1.3% (1σ) fluctuation in intensity. This simple excitation source can be prepared easily with inexpensive minimum optical components and mounted with a microchip on the stage of an ordinary fluorescence microscope for daily separation studies using a CE or CEC microchip. The applicability of the excitation source was evaluated with FITC-amino acid derivative mixtures using a polymer based CEC microchip packed fully with submicron silica beads in its microchannel.     

A highly efficient and versatile microchip capillary electrophoresis method for DNA separation using gold nanoparticle as a tag

A highly efficient and versatile method for DNA separation using Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) as a tag based on microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) was developed. The thiol-modified DNA-binding Au NPs were utilized as a tag. Target DNA was sandwiched between Au NPs and probe DNA labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In electrophoresis separation, the difference in electrophoretic mobility between free probe and probe-target complex was magnified by Au NPs, which enabled the resulting mixture to be separated with high efficiency by microchip capillary electrophoresis. Horseradish peroxidase was used as a catalytic label to achieve sensitive electrochemical DNA detection via fast catalytic reactions. With this protocol, 27-mer DNA fragments with different sequences were separated with high speed and high resolution. The proposed method was critical to achieve improved DNA separations in hybridization analyses.     

Flow-through sampling for electrophoresis-based microfluidic chips using hydrodynamic pumping

This work presents a novel electrophoretic microchip design which is capable of directly coupling with flow-through analyzers for uninterrupted sampling. In this device, a 3 mm wide sampling channel (SC) was etched on quartz substrate to create the sample inlet and outlet and the 75 microm wide electrophoretic channels were also fabricated on the same substrate. Pressure was used to drive the sample flow through the external tube into the SC and the flow was then split into outlet and electrophoretic channels. A gating voltage was applied to the electrophoretic channel to control the sample loading for subsequent separations and inhibit the sample leakage. The minimum gating voltage required to inhibit the sample leakage depended on the solution buffer and increased with the hydrodynamic flow-rate. A fluorescent dye mixture containing Rhodamine B and Cy3 was introduced into the sample stream at either a continuous or discrete mode via an on-line injection valve and then separated and detected on the microchip using laser-induced fluorescence. For both modes, the relative standard deviation of migration time and peak intensity for consecutive injections was determined to be below 0.6 and 8%, respectively. Because the SC was kept floating, the external sampling equipment requires no electric connection. Therefore, such an electrophoresis-based microchip can be directly coupled with any pressure-driven flow analyzers without hardware modifications. To our best knowledge, this is something currently impossible for reported electrophoretic microchip designs.     

Continuous cell introduction and rapid dynamic lysis for high-throughput single-cell analysis on microfludic chips with hydrodynamic focusing

A chip-based microfluidic system for high-throughput single-cell analysis is described. The system was integrated with continuous introduction of individual cells, rapid dynamic lysis, capillary electrophoretic (CE) separation and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. A cross microfluidic chip with one sheath-flow channel located on each side of the sampling channel was designed. The labeled cells were hydrodynamically focused by sheath-flow streams and sequentially introduced into the cross section of the microchip under hydrostatic pressure generated by adjusting liquid levels in the reservoirs. Combined with the electric field applied on the separation channel, the aligned cells were driven into the separation channel and rapidly lysed within 33ms at the entry of the separation channel by Triton X-100 added in the sheath-flow solution. The maximum rate for introducing individual cells into the separation channel was about 150cells/min. The introduction of sheath-flow streams also significantly reduced the concentration of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) injected into the separation channel along with single cells, thus reducing Joule heating during electrophoretic separation. The performance of this microfluidic system was evaluated by analysis of reduced glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in single erythrocytes. A throughput of 38cells/min was obtained. The proposed method is simple and robust for high-throughput single-cell analysis, allowing for analysis of cell population with considerable size to generate results with statistical significance.     

A three-dimensionally adjustable amperometric detector for microchip electrophoretic measurement of nitroaromatic pollutants

A microchip capillary electrophoresis (CE)–amperometric detection (AD) system has been fabricated by integrating a two-dimensionally adjustable CE microchip and an amperometric detection cell containing a one-dimensionally adjustable disc detection electrode in a Plexiglas holder. It facilitates the precise three-dimensional alignment between the channel outlet and the detection electrode without a complicated three-dimensional manipulator. The performance of this unique system was demonstrated by separating four nitroaromatic pollutants (nitrobenzene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, and p-nitrobenzene). Factors influencing their separation and detection processes were examined and optimised. The four analytes have been well-separated within 120 s in a 75 cm long separation channel at a separation voltage of +2000 V using an electrophoretic separation medium containing 15 mM borax and 15 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (pH 9.2). Highly linear response is obtained for the four analytes over the range of 0–5 ppm with the detection limits ranging from 12 to 52 ppb. The present system demonstrated long-term stability and reproducibility with relative standard deviations of less than 5% for the peak current (n = 9). The new approach for the microchannel–electrode alignment should find a wide range of applications in other microfluidic analysis systems.     

Robust and simple interface for microchip electrophoresis-mass spectrometry

A robust and simple interface for microchip electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (MCE-MS) was developed using a spray nozzle connected to the exit of the separation channel of the microchip. The spray nozzle was attached to the microchip using a polyether ether ketone screw without adhesive, thus allowing easy replaced. Sample injection and electrophoretic separation was performed by control of the voltage only. The analysis of a few basic drugs was performed using the optimized MCE-MS system. The separation was improved by using a high-viscosity separation buffer and a spray nozzle with a small bore size. This system was also applied to the separation of peptides and protein-trypsin digests. Sample adsorption was minimized by adding acetonitrile to the separation buffer when using a quartz microchip.
