A general strategy to quantify analytes through fluorescence chromaticity and luminosity

To realize a fast, easy-operation and precise way using fluorescence probes to quantify analytes is a goal to facilitate detection, especially in situ. Herein, we are reporting an approach which can be generally employed for the differentiation and quantitation of analytes through fluorescence chromaticity and luminosity. Seven representative fluorescent probes, targeting pH, cysteine, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen peroxide, palladium and hydrazine, were synthesized and tested. Without utilizing costly instrumentations, portable devices were employed to collect data of photographs from the fluorescence samples in responses to different analytes. Subsequently, the photographic images were digitally processed to generate calibration curves between chromaticity/luminosity verse concentrations after mapping to the CIE 1931 xyY standard color space. Good linear calibration curves and quantitative analysis of unknown samples with low errors through the spectral technology demonstrated the reliability of this method. Thus, we showed the analytical method with a simple and on-site constructible/portable device which is promising for applications in more fluorescence probes.

我国于2021年7月将合成大麻素类物质整类列入管制,在一线查缉现场对疑似合成大麻素样品进行快速定性分析是办案民警的迫切需求。研究系统考察了拉曼光谱对合成大麻素的整体区分能力,比较了四款手持式拉曼光谱仪分析实际缴获样品时的结果差异,探讨了制约拉曼光谱在一线查缉现场广泛应用的原因。ProTT-EZRaman-A7便携式拉曼光谱仪的整体性能介于台式拉曼和手持式拉曼之间,选用该仪器采集了90种合成大麻素对照品的拉曼光谱,并利用兼容性强的KnowItAll软件建立了90种合成大麻素通用拉曼光谱库。分析90种合成大麻素的拉曼光谱,结果表明,当不存在荧光干扰时,拉曼光谱可以区分所有合成大麻素物质,但对部分结构相差一个甲基、卤素原子等的结构类似物区分度欠佳。不同款拉曼光谱仪的性能差异大,为考察其原因,本研究选用了四款手持式拉曼光谱仪分别对120份实际缴获合成大麻素样品进行了测定,随后使用KnowItAll软件并选用包含90种合成大麻素的通用拉曼光谱库对每张光谱图进行谱库检索。四款手持式拉曼光谱仪的正确匹配率分别为71.7%, 68.3%, 46.7%和24.2%。抗荧光干扰能力和分辨率的不同是造成不同...     

A portable automated multianalyte biosensor

The array biosensor employs an array of capture molecules on a planar optical waveguide to interrogate multiple samples simultaneously for multiple targets. In assay development and demonstration studies published previously, we have quantified this biosensor's capability for rapid identification of a wide variety of targets in complex sample media. This paper describes the miniaturization and automation of the array biosensor for portability and on-site use. The fluidics have been redesigned and constructed with reliability and commercial production of disposable components in mind. To demonstrate the automated operation, simultaneous assays were automatically conducted on samples containing both ovalbumin and staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Results demonstrate the capability of the biosensor for detection and quantification.     

Triple-channel portable capillary electrophoresis instrument with individual background electrolytes for the concurrent separations of anionic and cationic species

The portable capillary electrophoresis instrument is automated and features three independent channels with different background electrolytes to allow the concurrent optimized determination of three different categories of charged analytes. The fluidic system is based on a miniature manifold which is based on mechanically milled channels for injection of samples and buffers. The planar manifold pattern was designed to minimize the number of electronic valves required for each channel. The system utilizes pneumatic pressurization to transport solutions at the grounded as well as the high voltage side of the separation capillaries. The instrument has a compact design, with all components arranged in a briefcase with dimensions of 45 (w) × 35 (d) × 15 cm (h) and a weight of about 15 kg. It can operate continuously for 8 h in the battery-powered mode if only one electrophoresis channel is in use, or for about 2.5 h in the case of simultaneous employment of all three channels. The different operations, i.e. capillary flushing, rinsing of the interfaces at both capillary ends, sample injection and electrophoretic separation, are activated automatically with a control program featuring a graphical user interface. For demonstration, the system was employed successfully for the concurrent separation of different inorganic cations and anions, organic preservatives, additives and artificial sweeteners in various beverage and food matrices.     

Organic-resistant screen-printed graphitic electrodes: Application to on-site monitoring of liquid fuels

This work presents the potential application of organic-resistant screen-printed graphitic electrodes (SPGEs) for fuel analysis. The required analysis of the antioxidant 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (2,6-DTBP) in biodiesel and jet fuel is demonstrated as a proof-of-concept. The screen-printing of graphite, Ag/AgCl and insulator inks on a polyester substrate (250 μm thickness) resulted in SPGEs highly compatible with liquid fuels. SPGEs were placed on a batch-injection analysis (BIA) cell, which was filled with a hydroethanolic solution containing 99% v/v ethanol and 0.1 mol L⁻¹ HClO₄ (electrolyte). An electronic micropipette was connected to the cell to perform injections (100 μL) of sample or standard solutions. Over 200 injections can be injected continuously without replacing electrolyte and SPGE strip. Amperometric detection (+1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl) of 2,6-DTBP provided fast (around 8 s) and precise (RSD = 0.7%, n = 12) determinations using an external calibration curve. The method was applied for the analysis of biodiesel and aviation jet fuel samples and comparable results with liquid and gas chromatographic analyses, typically required for biodiesel and jet fuel samples, were obtained. Hence, these SPGE strips are completely compatible with organic samples and their combination with the BIA cell shows great promise for routine and portable analysis of fuels and other organic liquid samples without requiring sophisticated sample treatments.
