The First Online Capillary Electrophoresis-Microscale Thermophoresis (CE-MST) Method for the Analysis of Dynamic Equilibria—The Determination of the Acidity Constant of Fluorescein Isothiocyanate

This article presents the first successful application of a capillary electrophoresis-microscale thermophoresis tandem technique (CE-MST) for determining the values of equilibrium constant, realized by connecting online the CE and MST instruments using a fused-silica capillary. The acid-base dissociation of fluorescein isothiocyanate, expressed by the acidity constant value (pK_a), was used as a model. The measurement procedure consisted of introducing a mixture containing the analyte and a deliberately added interferent into the CE capillary, electrophoretic separation of the analyte from the interferent, the detection of the analyte with a CE-integrated detector, detection with a MST detector, and then stopping the flow temporarily by turning off the voltage source to conduct the thermophoretic measurement. The analysis of migration times, peak areas and MST responses obtained concurrently for the same sample allowed us to determine the pK_a value using three independent methods integrated within one instrumentation. The analyte was effectively separated from the interferent, and the acidity values turned out to be consistent with each other. An attempt was also made to replace the standard commercial CE instrument with a home-made portable CE setup. As a result, the similar pK_a value was obtained, at the same time proving the possibility of increasing cost efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Overall, the CE-MST technique has a number of limitations, but its unique analytical capabilities may be beneficial for some applications, especially when sample separation is needed prior to the thermophoretic measurement.

Syntheses,characterizations and bioactivities on HeLa cells and KB cells of two dinuclear manganese complexes with carboxylate bridges

To explore anti-tumor activities of manganese complexes, two complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 is bridged by 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,4-biphenyl dicarboxylate. The two complexes have strong fluorescent emission and interact with DNA in an intercalative mode. The complexes also exhibit significant cytotoxic specificity and cancer cell inhibition.     

Sensitive detection and separation of fluorescent derivatives using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection with 532 nm Nd:YAG laser

Capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CELIF) is a powerful tool for separation and sensitive determination of fluorescent species. Biologically active compounds, such as amino acids, peptides and proteins may exhibit native fluorescence, which is however often low and/or an expensive laser is required for excitation in UV. Therefore, labelling of the analytes with a fluorescent dye is usually necessary.In this work, a home-built CELIF instrument with diode pumped frequency-doubled continuous wave Nd:YAG excitation laser with feedback power regulation (532 nm) was constructed. The suitability of this type of laser for LIF detection in a separation method was found excellent. A limit of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) of 2×10⁻¹³ mol/l was achieved with rhodamine B, which is comparable to those obtained using similar instruments with Ar⁺ laser [Y.F. Cheng, N.J. Dovichi, Science 242 (1988) 562, E.S. Yeung et al., J. Chromatogr. 608 (1992) 73]. LOD of a protein derivatized according to modified procedures [M.J. Little et al., Anal. Chim. Acta 339 (1997) 279, A. Chersi et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1336 (1997) 83] was determined. Detection of the derivatives was found to be limited by insufficient reaction recovery at low analyte concentration, chemical noise, separation efficiency and quality of the derivatizing reagent rather than by the detector performance. As a consequence, a huge gap between the detection ability of CELIF instruments and LOD determined in real samples is revealed.     

伊犁河、额尔齐斯河两水域中东方欧鳊的几个生化指标的比较研究

东方欧鳊(Abramis brama orientalis Berg)源于苏联咸海,我区伊犁河和额尔齐斯河均有分布,由于地理隔离的结果,两水系的东方真鳊已在形态学上出现了某些差异,为进一步探明二者间的亲缘关系,我们进行了鱼肉蛋白质含量、鱼肉氨基酸组成,LDH同工酶、血清蛋白等生化指标的比较研究,结果表明除了氨基酸组成及含量基本未发生变化外,其余三项指标均有显著不同,即说明两水系的东方欧鳊已出现种群间差异,至于是否已分化成两个不同的亚种,尚待进一步研究.

Electrophoresis of sheared polyelectrolytes

ABSTRACT

A shear flow breaks the spherical symmetry of a flexible polymer, which has some interesting consequences for the electrophoresis of polyelectrolytes. In addition to introducing a chain-length dependence of the electrophoretic velocity, there is also the possibility of migration of the molecule perpendicular to the direction of coaxial gradients in pressure and electric potential. This has been shown to produce a rapid and highly localised concentration of DNA within a microfluidic capillary, with a number of potential applications to on-chip preparation and analysis of genomic DNA. In this paper, dedicated to Prof. Daan Frenkel, I will describe a calculation of the electrophoretic motion of a long polyelectrolyte under a coaxial flow and electric field.

Für das in der 1. Mitteilung [1] beschriebene Trennverfahren zur Anfarbeitung bestrahlter Mono-, Di- und Triphenylarsenverbindungen sollte die Effektivität der chromatographischen Trennung an dem Kationenaustauscher KPS (6% DVB) mit Hilfe einer unabhängigen Methode überprüft werden. Außerdem sollten Hinweise über Art und Anzahl der nichtidentifizierten ?unbckanntcn Produkte“ erhalten werden, die gemeinsam mit den Diphenylarsen-Rüekstoßprodukten im NaOH-Eluat auftreten. Zu diesem Zweck wurde die von Siuda [2] vorgeschlagene papierelektrophoretische Trennung benutzt.
