Food Analysis on Electrophoretic Microchips

One of the current trends of separation techniques in analytical chemistry is miniaturization. The aim of miniaturization is to attain better performance, shorter analysis time, and reduced reagent consumption. Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) microchips, the first generation of micro-total analysis systems, are the most used microsystems in food analysis. The scope of this review is to gather and discuss the different applications of such miniaturized devices in this field. Various analytes of food significance such as natural antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, dyes, vanilla flavors, DNA probes, heavy metals, toxins, allergens etc. have been successfully monitored using CE-microchips, either to assess food quality or to ensure food safety. Also, to deal with the high complexity of food matrices, the integration of sample preparation steps onto the chip and the use of new tools from nanotechnology for the detection step have been reported.     

Determination of rhein and physcion in rhubarb by microchip capillary electrophoresis in mixed hydro-organic solvent combined with laser-induced fluorescence detection

Microchip capillary electrophoresis in mixed hydro-organic solvent combined with laser-induced fluorescence detection was developed for the separation and detection of physcion and rhein in rhubarb. In contrast to the conventional capillary electrophoresis method, ammonium acetate-dimethyl sulfoxide was used as the basic buffer system in this method. The effects of background buffer, buffer apparent pH*, buffer concentration, water ratio, sample preparation method, and separation voltage on separation and detection were investigated. Optimized separation and detection conditions were obtained: the buffer consisted of 20 mmol/L of ammonium acetate in hydro-organic solvent composed dimethyl sulfoxide, formamide, and water mixed at 60/20/20 (v/v/v) ratio. The separation voltage was 1.9 kV. Under these conditions, the physcion, rhein, and other components of rhubarb can be completely separated within 150 s. Under the methodological verification, good linearity (R ≥ 0.9995) for physcion and rhein, and low limits of detection (0.085 μg·mL⁻¹ and 0.077 μg·mL⁻¹, respectively), satisfactory peak area precisions, migration time precisions (1.74%–3.09%), and accuracy (recovery rate 97.8% and 101.4%) were achieved. It is shown that the proposed method is simple, efficient, fast, sensitive, simple instrument, consumes few samples, has low operating cost, and is linear.     

Carbon nanotube disposable detectors in microchip capillary electrophoresis for water-soluble vitamin determination: analytical possibilities in pharmaceutical quality control

In this work, the synergy of one mature example from "lab-on-chip" domain, such as CE microchips with emerging miniaturized carbon nanotube detectors in analytical science, is presented. Two different carbon electrodes (glassy carbon electrode (GCE) 3 mm diameter, and screen-printed electrode (SPE) 0.3 mm x 2.5 mm) were modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and their electrochemical behavior was evaluated as detectors in CE microchip using water-soluble vitamins (pyridoxine, ascorbic acid, and folic acid) in pharmaceutical preparations as representative examples. The SPE modified with MWCNT was the best electrode for the vitamin analysis in terms of analytical performance. In addition, accurate determination of the three vitamins in four different pharmaceuticals was obtained (systematic error less than 9%) in only 400 s using a protocol that combined the sample analysis and the methodological calibration.

Accurate nano-injection system for capillary gas chromatography

The first version of nano-injection device for capillary gas chromatography (cGC) based on inkjet microchip was developed. The nano-injector could accurately control the injection volume in nano-liter, even pico-liter range. Its configuration and mechanism were discussed in detail. Adopting photolithography and plasma etching technology, we firstly fabricated the inkjet microchip and stuck to a piezoelectric device to eject droplets. Then, a special feedback tube was added to make it function as a nano-injector for cGC, which was an important design to compensate pressure difference between the evaporation chamber of cGC and the sample extrusion chamber of inkjet microchip. The injected volume can be precisely controlled by the number of injected droplets. Excellent precision (RSDs were below 10.0%, n = 5) was observed for the injection of ethanol at elevated pressure. Minimum injection volume was about 1.25 nL at present. Additionally, good repeatability of the calibration curves for the hydrocarbons ethanolic solution (the RSDs of all components were below 5.30%, n = 5) confirmed its feasibility in quantitative analysis regardless of concentration. These results suggested that it can be an accurate nano-injector for cGC.

Microfluidic chips for mass spectrometry‐based proteomics

Microfluidic devices coupled to mass spectrometers have emerged as excellent tools for solving the complex analytical challenges associated with the field of proteomics. Current proteome identification procedures are accomplished through a series of steps that require many hours of labor‐intensive work. Microfluidics can play an important role in proteomic sample preparation steps prior to mass spectral identification such as sample cleanup, digestion, and separations due to its ability to handle small sample quantities with the potential for high‐throughput parallel analysis. To utilize microfluidic devices for proteomic analysis, an efficient interface between the microchip and the mass spectrometer is required. This tutorial provides an overview of the technologies and applications of microfluidic chips coupled to mass spectrometry for proteome analysis. Various approaches for combining microfluidic devices with electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) are summarized and applications of chip‐based separations and digestion technologies to proteomic analysis are presented.

Multiplexed p53 Mutation Detection by Microchip Electrophoresis with Laser-Induced Fluorescence Detector

A form of single‐strand DNA‐conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) employing nondenaturing slab gel electrophoresis is applicable to the genetic diagnosis of mutations at exons 7, 8 and 9 of the p53 gene. Recently, microchip electrophoresis (ME) systems have been used in SSCP analysis instead of conventional slab gel electrophoresis in terms of speed, sensitivity and automation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of SSCP and ME analysis as a rapid and effective method to the detection of mutations for exons 7, 8 and 9 of the p53 gene. It was found that using the electric field strength 260 V/cm and the sieving matrix of 4 mg/mL poly(ethylene oxide) was very useful to achieve better resolution and fast detection of mutations at exons 7, 8 and 9 of p53 gene. Under the optimized conditions, mutations at exons 7–9 of p53 gene were analyzed within 60 s and the relative standard deviation values of the migration times were less than 5.81% (n=5). The detection limit can be as low as 1 ng·L^?1.
