Fluorescence Analysis in Microarray Technology

Fluorescence has been the preferred choice for data quantification in biomedical microarray formats since their earliest days. As much as the formats have grown and evolved over the years, the methods in optical analysis have become ever more sophisticated and complex in order to produce more and better output. This review will provide an insight into the most common methods and the state-of-the-art of all areas in microarray fluorescence analysis. Starting with an overview on microarray formats with a focus on their demands on the readout, the most common and useful organic fluorescent stains are discussed before proceeding on to other approaches; the use of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots), polymer and silica nanoparticles and fluorescent proteins. Ways to enhance the intrinsically low signal on biochips have become increasingly important as they offer a sound approach towards the detection of low concentration sample content. The three main categories are presented: amplification using DNA, enzymes, and dendrimers. As much diversity as on the microarrays themselves can be found at the detection device. Standard optical microarray detectors, and non-standard methods using fluorescence anisotropy, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.     

Ferrocene Compounds. XXXI. Structure of 3-Ferrocenylpropanoic Acid

The title compound was prepared by modified procedure and characterized by means of IR, [¹H] and [¹³C] NMR spectroscopy. The structure was also determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). 3-Ferrocenylpropanoic acid crystallizes as orange prisms in the triclinic space group P with a = 7.645(1) Å, b = 7.953(1) Å, c = 9.961(1) Å, = 81.67(1), = 68.43(1), = 83.76(1), V = 556.3(1) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0435. In the ferrocene skeleton, Fe-C distances are in the range 2.033(2)–2.052(2) Å and C C distances in the range 1.412(5)–1.431(3) Å. The angle defined by ring centers and Fe atom is 177.7(1). The cyclopentadienyl rings are twisted from the eclipsed conformation by 8.3(2) (average value). In the structure was observed strong intermolecular hydrogen bond of 2.670(3) Å forming cyclic dimers of the R₂ ² (8) type.     

Methyl methacrylate polymerization at samarium(II)-grafted MCM-41

Sm(II)-modified periodic mesoporous silica (PMS), Sm[N(SiHMe₂)₂]₂(THF)_x@MCM-41, was used for the synthesis of Sm(II) alkyl, alkoxide, and indenyl surface species via secondary ligand exchange. The performance of the novel Sm(II)-based organometallic–inorganic hybrid materials as initiators for the graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is reported. All of the Sm(II) hybrid materials including the new PMMA–PMS composites were characterized via N₂ physisorption, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The organic–inorganic composites revealed complete pore blockage as well as enrichment and strong adhesion of the polymer at the exterior of the porous silica material.
