Characterization of etched electrochemical detection for electrophoresis in micron inner diameter capillaries

An enhanced etched electrochemical (EC) detection technique has been developed for CE in micron inner diameter capillaries. The design improvements allow for better alignment between the capillary bore and the electrode. This new method involves utilizing a carbon fiber microelectrode and etching both the carbon fiber and the detection end of a micrometer-sized inner diameter capillary to limit dead volume and analyte diffusion at the amperometric EC detector. To understand the factors affecting enhanced detector efficiency, a detailed examination of the relationship between detector design and performance has been completed by exploring the effects of varying electrode diameter, tip shape, and size, in addition to the etch length of the capillary outlet. The enhanced detection provides peak efficiencies as high as 75000 theoretical plates and estimated detection limits as low as 40 nM for dopamine. This etched detection method should further facilitate volume-limited sample analysis by CE.     

Integration of Separation Capillary with a Au Film Electrode and an Etched Decoupler in Amperometric Capillary Electrophoresis

Introduced in this article is fabrication of an integrated capillary for the applications of electrochemical detection in capillary electrophoresis. The separation section, voltage decoupler, and working electrode were composed into a single section of capillary. The porous decoupler was constructed by HF etching till the thickness of the capillary wall less than 20 μm. The working electrode was prepared by sputtering Au-films on the outlet of the capillary. The integration of the separation capillary with a complete detection assembly improves the convenience for the routine application of electrochemical measurements in capillary electrophoresis. For a 100-μm-i.d. capillary, the theoretical plate number of catechol and the migration time reproducibility can reach 120,000 and 1.9% RSD, respectively. The linear range exceeds 3 order of magnitude and the detection limit is lower than 0.65 μM.     

Analysis of alkyl polyglucosides in industrial products by capillary electrophoresis with pulsed amperometric detection

Pulsed amperometric detection following micellar electrokinetic chromatography has been applied successfully to the direct detection of alkyl polyglucosides (APGs) in shampoos and other industrial products without prior conversion to highly absorbing or fluorescing derivatives. For electrochemical detection, it is necessary to dissociate the hydroxyl groups of the APGs. Thus, we used 0.1 M NaOH in the outlet vial to dissociate the APGs. The main problems associated with the combination of electrochemical detection and capillary electrophoresis are the need to isolate the detector from the electric field used in the capillary electrophoresis separation and the difficulty of aligning the working electrode with the end of the capillary. To overcome these problems, a simple capillary-electrode holder was constructed. This holder automatically aligns the capillary and the electrode in a wall-jet configuration without the aid of micropositioners and facilitates the replacement of electrodes and capillaries without reconstruction of the entire capillary/electrode setup. Special microcylindrical gold electrodes have been produced by sealing 300-μm-diameter gold wire into borosilicate-glass capillaries.

Optimization of Electrode Alignment for Electrochemical Detection in Capillary Electrophoresis Using a Scanning Electrochemical Microscope

Electrochemical detection in capillary electrophoresis requires decoupling the voltage applied to the working electrode from the separation voltage applied across the capillary. End‐capillary electrochemical detection achieves this by placing the electrode just outside the ground end of the separation capillary. Obtaining adequate signal‐to‐noise in this arrangement requires using small inner diameter capillaries. Decreasing the inner diameter of the separation capillary, however, increases the difficulty of aligning the microelectrode with the open end of the capillary. Using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), the position of the capillary opening is determined while electroactive material is continuously emerging from the end of the capillary. The SECM instrument is then used to place the electrode at the position of maximum current for subsequent separations. Subsequent measurements found that the best signal‐to‐noise is obtained when the detection electrode is placed directly opposite the capillary opening and just outside of the capillary opening. When the electrode is further above the opening (but still opposite the capillary opening), the signal‐to‐noise does not dramatically decrease until the electrode is more than 30 μm above the 10 μm inner‐diameter capillary.     

Carbon nanotube and diamond as electrochemical detectors in microchip and conventional capillary electrophoresis

Development and Characterization of a Disposable Electrochemical Detector Arrangement for Capillary Electrophoresis Prepared by Thermal Lamination

A disposable electrochemical detector arrangement for capillary electrophoresis has been developed. The detection system consists of an assembly of a fused silica capillary and a microfiber electrode which are fixed in a proper position by sealing this configuration with the help of thermal lamination. The detector design is easy to prepare and inexpensive. Therefore it is used as a disposable device which can be replaced by a new one if any degradation of the performance characteristics occurs. The parameters influencing the detection performance were studied and optimized using nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis and ferrocene derivatives as model compounds. The practical utility was demonstrated by studying the separation and detection of water‐resistant dye compounds.     

Multiresidue Analysis of Pesticides in Environmental Waters by Capillary Electrophoresis Using Simultaneous UV and Electrochemical Detection

A rapid multiresidue method has been developed for the analysis of eight pesticides (triazines, triazinones and ureas) in environmental waters. A simple end‐column electrochemical detector was used in combination with an available commercial capillary electrophoresis instrument with UV detection. The determination of these pesticides using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) with dual electrochemical and UV detection is the first time reported. In both detection systems, a linear range was obtained for the eight pesticides, concentrations lower than 5.0×10^?5 mol L^?1, in 0.020 mol L^?1 boric acid at pH 8.3 and containing 0.025 mol L^?1 of sodium dodecylsulfate, to obtain selectivity in the additional separation by micellar distribution process. Under these conditions a lower detection limit than 2.0×10^?6 mol L^?1 (0.15 pmol of pesticide) was achieved for the most of them. The eight pesticides are resolved in less than 14 min.     

Use of an electrochemically labeled nucleotide terminator for known point mutation analysis

A novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assay utilizing an electrochemically tagged chain terminator is described. The system employs the single-base extension (SBE) technique coupled to capillary gel electrophoresis with end-column electrochemical detection. A redox-labeled chain terminator, ferrocene-acycloATP, is used in the SBE reaction. When the mutation site corresponds to the labeled chain terminator, the extension product is rendered electroactive. The reaction mixture is subsequently separated by capillary gel electrophoresis and the extension product detected at the separation anode with sinusoidal voltammetry. This work demonstrates the first known SNP assay utilizing redox-active chain terminators coupled to electrochemical detection. The methodology presented could lead to a fast, simple, and cost-effective SNP scoring system.

Determination of Maleic Hydrazide in Potato Samples Using Capillary Electrophoresis with Dual Detection (UV‐Electrochemical)

A new method for the separation of a mixture of different herbicides (propham, chlorpropham, asulam, metamitron, linuron, and maleic hydrazide) using MEKC is proposed. A base‐line separation for the mixture of herbicides is achieved in less than six minutes. The detection limits obtained for all the herbicides were lower than 1.0 μM using UV detection. This separation method was used for the determination of maleic hydrazide in potato samples. If a dual (UV‐electrochemical) detection system is employed, chlorpropham can be also detected. The results obtained showed that electrochemical detection was ten folds more sensitive than UV detection for maleic hydrazide. The detection limit of the proposed method for maleic hydrazide employing electrochemical detection was 1.3 μg g^?1, this value is lower than 50 μg g^?1, which is the maximum residue level permitted for this plant growth regulator in potato samples. The results obtained in the work clearly demonstrate the advantage of using electrochemical detection coupled to capillary electrophoresis, using this detection the concentration limits are not compromised by miniaturization and the components required are simple and inexpensive.

Simultaneous UV and electrochemical determination of the herbicide asulam in tap water samples by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

A simple end-column electrochemical detector was designed and attached to an available commercial capillary electrophoresis instrument with UV detection to detect different kind of herbicides and to determinate methyl-4-aminophenyl-sulfonylcarbamate (asulam) in water samples. The designed cell is very easy to assemble and disassemble in a short period of time; the working electrode positioning is also quickly achieved without micropositioners. The alignment between working electrode and capillary outlet was very reproducible for the all checked electrodes; the R.S.D. obtained was lower than 6.0% for 100 μm gap distance. In this mode, the non-electroactive and electroactive compounds could be detected by UV and electrochemical detection, respectively at the same time. The electrochemical determination of asulam using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) is the first time that is reported. In both detection systems, a linear range was obtained for asulam concentrations lower than 25.0 mg l⁻¹, in boric acid 0.020 mol l⁻¹ at pH 8.20 and containing 0.025 mol l⁻¹ of sodium dodecyl sulfate, to obtain selectivity additional separation by the micellar distribution process. Under these conditions, an experimental detection limit of 0.4 mg l⁻¹ was achieved. A new experimental scheme is also described for asulam determination in tap waters with a previous preconcentration step. Using both, UV and electrochemical detection, with a previous extraction procedure, the detection limits of asulam in tap water samples were of 1.0 and 0.8 μg l⁻¹, respectively.
