Chemiluminescence-based detection technologies for biomolecules, mainly in gel electrophoresis

We provide an overview of powerful applications of chemiluminescence (CL) analysis for biomolecules, mainly in gel electrophoresis. In routine immunoassays, CL labels and detection reactions are widely used for peroxidase and alkaline-phosphatase enzymes. The sensitivity, the dynamic range and the diversity of CL assays have led to a vast range of applications, notably in protein and nucleic-acid blotting. Non-enzymatic CL detection is also being developed gradually.Direct CL detection of biomolecules in gels has emerged recently, with simple, convenient and rapid methods. It offers substantial potential to detect many proteins or nucleic acids in complex biological samples. In addition, metallic nanoparticles and catalytic nucleic acids are also potential candidates for CL detection of biomolecules in the future.

Sensitive determination of aliphatic amines in water by high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection

A sensitive method has been developed for liquid chromatographic determination of short aliphatic amines in water samples. Analytes are preconcentrated and dansylated on solid sorbents (C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges). The dansyl derivatives are chromatographed and post-column mixed with peroxyoxalate (TCPO) and H2O2 in order to perform chemiluminescence detection. Optimal results have been obtained using a sample volume of 5 ml. The method has been applied to the quantification or screening of several aliphatic amines: methylamine, ethylamine, butylamine, diethylamine, pentylamine and hexylamine. The screening procedure has been developed including also polyamines (putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine). The results obtained by using chemiluminescence (CL) detection have been compared with other detection systems (fluorescence and UV). The sensitivity can increase from 3 to 75 times respect UV detection and from 2 to 10 times respect fluorescence detection depending on the amine. The detection limits achieved were between 0.15 and 0.9 microg/l.

Electrogeneration of ferrate (VI) in low concentration NaOH solution for flow injection–chemiluminescence detection

The possibility of direct analytical applications of ferrate(VI) solution, which was freshly electrogenerated in low-concentration NaOH electrolyte, was studied by a flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI–CL) system. It was found that some inorganic ions, organic molecule and biomolecule could enhance the chemiluminescence emission caused by ferrate(VI)–luminol reaction. V(V), Ca(II), Mg(II), phloroglucinol, and bovine hemoglobin (Hb) chosen as samples were successfully detected by this developed method. The analytical characteristics of the system for the analytes determination including linear ranges, correlation coefficients, limits of detection combined with FI analysis were studied.     

On-line screening methods for antioxidants scavenging superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide by liquid chromatography with indirect chemiluminescence detection

The identification of radical species is possible by the electron spin resonance technique. However, the antioxidants in complex matrices such as biological and food samples are difficult to determine. Hence, we developed novel screening systems for antioxidants, which are mainly eliminating superoxide anion radical (O(2)(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), by HPLC with luminol-based chemiluminescence (CL) detection. When the sample contains antioxidants, inhibited peaks corresponding to each antioxidant are observed on the chromatogram. The antioxidant activities of catechins and flavones were determined with flow injection analysis by the proposed indirect CL. The scavenging activity for H(2)O(2) and O(2)(-) were different from each catechin and flavone. Furthermore, the potential was dependent upon the number and the position of OH functional group in the structure. Some applications such as the screening of antioxidants in tea products were also investigated. In spite of many peaks appeared on the chromatogram at UV detection, only the peaks corresponding to the compounds having elimination effect to O(2)(-) and/or H(2)O(2) were detected as inhibited peaks. Consequently, the proposed HPLC-CL seems to provide new screening systems for antioxidants possessing inhibition activity of O(2)(-) and H(2)O(2).     

Chemiluminescence detection coupled to capillary electrophoresis

In recent years, chemiluminescence (CL)-based detection coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) as separation technique has attracted much interest due to new advances in home-made configurations, sample-treatment techniques for application to real matrixes, development of a commercial instrument and use of miniaturization techniques to obtain micro total analysis systems incorporating CE separation and CL detection in microchips. We present some developments, key strategies and selected analytical applications of CE-CL since the year 2000 in diverse fields (e.g., clinical and pharmaceutical, environmental or food analysis).     

Analytical applications of photoinduced chemiluminescence in flow systems--a review

In this review, the recent evolution and the state of the art of photochemical reactions coupled with chemiluminescence processes are presented. Different chemiluminescence systems have been considered together with suitable photochemical derivatization processes that can affect either the analyte of interest or even the chemiluminogenic reagent, producing some derivatives able to participate more efficiently in the CL reactions and enhancing the CL emission. The on-line integration of the photochemical reactions as well as the coupling of this resulting photoinduced chemiluminescence (PICL) method with dynamic analytical systems, such as flow injection analysis, liquid or gas chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, have been discussed. Important applications of PICL have been proposed in environmental, pharmaceutical and food analysis.     

Hyphenated chromatographic methods for biomaterials

The improvement in hyphenated analytical techniques has significantly widened their applications to the analysis of biomaterials. In this article, we discuss recent advances in applications of hyphenated chromatographic techniques including capillary electrophoresis to the analyses of biological samples. As tools of separation, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis are considered with special emphasis on applications utilizing the hyphenation of these methods to mass spectrometry. Moreover, applications using other detection methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy hyphenated to gas chromatography and photodiode array detector combined with high-performance liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis are also discussed. Owing to their high sensitivity, luminescence-based detection systems such as laser-induced fluorescence and chemiluminescence are also included in this review.

Special attention is given to both the separation and detection of anabolic compounds. A distinction is made between on-line detection systems, such as ultraviolet detection and diode-array detection, and off-line detection methods with special emphasis on immunochemical detection methods using non-isotopic labels. A number of applications are given to elucidate the possibilities of HPLC in the analysis of anabolic compounds.

Chemiluminescence response of murine macrophages on multilayer microfluidic chips

We have demonstrated an integrated platform for microfluidics and chemiluminescence (CL) detection that is capable of parallel cell culture, convenient liquid manipulation, and sensitive chemiluminescent detection. Luminol-dependent CL responses induced by three different stimuli, phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (ConA), and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which can evoke a CL response in macrophages, were evaluated on this microfluidic chip. We studied the dose-dependent effect of these three stimuli on CL response in murine macrophages. PHA produced the highest CL response compared to LPS and ConA. The CL intensity produced by PHA was 6.85 and four times higher than that by LPS and ConA, respectively, at the low concentration of 100 μg/ml. We have found microfluidic based CL to be a very useful screening tool, which is less laborious and more sensitive. This microfluidic system is disposable and capable of rapid device prototyping; it may prove to be very useful in clinical and pharmaceutical applications.     

On-Line HPLC with Biochemical Detection for Screening Bioactive Compounds in Complex Matrixes

On-line high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with biochemical detection (BCD) has been developed to screen compounds showing antioxidant action, enzyme inhibition and receptor affinity in complex matrixes. This review summarizes HPLC methods combining different post-column detection methods, such as diode-array detection (DAD), mass spectrometry (MS), chemiluminescence (CL) and nuclear magnetic resonance, for antioxidant screening. The methods based on a single relatively stable reagent such as DPPH^• and ABTS^•+ were the most popular. Oxygen free radical scavengers mainly depended on post-column CL detection. The on-line hyphenated HPLC–BCD systems based on post-column UV/DAD fluorescence and MS detection were also widely applied to screen enzyme- and receptor-active compounds. These strategies provide a convenient tool for quick identification and quantification of active compounds in complex matrixes.

     

Determination of rare earth elements in natural water samples – A review of sample separation,preconcentration and direct methodologies

This review discusses and compares the methods given for the determination of rare earth elements (REE) in natural water samples, including sea, river, lake, tap, ground and waste waters as well as Antarctic ice. Since REE are at very low concentrations in natural waters, numerous different preconcentration methods have been proposed to enable their measurement. These include liquid liquid extraction, dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction and solidified floating drop micro-extraction. In addition to liquid-liquid extraction methods, solid phase extraction using commercial resins, resins made in-house, silica-based exchange materials and other solid media is also discussed. These and other techniques such as precipitation/co-precipitation and flotation are compared in terms of speed, preconcentration factors achieved, precision, accuracy and limits of detection (LOD). Some papers have discussed the direct determination of REE in these sample types. Some have used specialised sample introduction systems such as ultrasonic nebulization whereas others have used a standard sample introduction system coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. These direct methods have also been discussed and compared.
