Abstract

This review describes the existing developments in the use of the capillary electrophoretic microanalytical technique for the in-line study of enzyme reaction, electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA). The article is divided into a number of parts. After an introduction, the different modes, basic principle, procedure, and some mathematical treatments of EMMA methodology are discussed and illustrated. The applications of EMMA for enzyme assay and for non-enzymatic determination are summarized into two tables. In addition to classical capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument EMMA, special emphasis is given to a relatively new technique: EMMA on CE microchip. Finally, conclusions are drawn.

A novel relationship between time offsets in capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequence variations in short tandem repeats.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides increased discriminatory power in forensic DNA analysis due to the detection of isoalleles. Differences in sequences between alleles allow for a second layer of differentiation between DNA contributors beyond the number of short tandem repeat (STR) repeat units. However, because NGS is a more time and resource-intensive analysis than conventional capillary electrophoresis (CE), laboratories may benefit from indicators that suggest NGS is likely to provide added value. This study examined whether CE migration offsets, measured as residuals in the OSIRIS analysis software, can differ significantly among STR isoalleles. Residuals represent the time offset between a sample allele peak and its corresponding allelic ladder peak. Paired CE and NGS data from 95 single source samples were analyzed for CE-based residual differences, as the NGS data provided the sequence information of the corresponding isoalleles. Residual values differed significantly among isoalleles at several STR loci. Statistically significant differences were identified at D16S539 and D3S1358, as well as at specific allele lengths within D12S391, D13S317, and D8S1179. These findings demonstrate that CE residual variation can reflect underlying STR sequence differences between contributors. In practice, residual-based metrics could help laboratories to identify casework reference samples where NGS is likely to provide additional discrimination, without the need for processing outside of a routine CE workflow. Due to the potentially large number of isoalleles, community wide efforts to aggregate CE residual differences versus isoallele sequences may be useful in the validation and implementation of this approach to add value to forensic DNA analyses.

ESI-MS compatible permanent coating of glass surfaces using poly(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkoxysilanes for capillary zone electrophoretic protein separations.

Thin poly(ethylene glycol) silane (PEG-silane) coatings formed from N-(triethoxysilyl propyl)-O-poly(ethylene oxide) urethane with different chain lengths of poly(ethylene glycol) (MW 750 and 4000-5000) are used to modify glass microfluidic channels and fused-silica capillaries for electrophoretic separations of proteins. These coatings combine three important properties, which make them favorable for proteomic analyses including reduction of protein adsorption, compatibility with mass spectrometry due to their stability, and the ability to control the magnitude of electroosmotic flow (EOF). The coatings have been successfully used in microfluidic chips and fused-silica capillaries for separation of protein sample mixtures under low EOF conditions. The long-chain and mixed PEG-silane coatings suppress electroosmotic flow by more than 90%, whereas the short-chain PEG silane suppresses EOF by 65-75% at pH values of 3-9. The long-chain and mixed PEG-silane coatings are suitable for low EOF applications or for cases where negative effects of EOF are to be minimized. Efficient separations of unlabeled basic proteins at low pH and FITC-labeled proteins at high pH were achieved, as well as excellent stability for at least 200 electrophoretic runs. Additionally, these covalent coatings produce no detectable background ions in ESI-MS, making them compatible with on-line mass spectrometry.

Analysis of ethambutol and methoxyphenamine by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemiluminescence detection.

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection method for the analysis of ethambutol (EB) and methoxyphenamine (MP) has been investigated. Complete separation of EB and MP was achieved in 8 min using a background electrolyte of 20 mM sodium phosphate at pH 10.0 and a separation voltage of 9 kV. ECL detection was performed with an indium/tin oxide (ITO) working electrode biased at 1.4 V (versus a Pt wire reference) in a 200 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) containing 3.5 mM Ru(bpy)3(2+) (where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl). Linear correlation (r > or = 0.993) between ECL intensity and drug concentration was obtained in the range 2-50 ng/ml. The limits of detection (LODs) for EB and MP in water were 1.0 and 0.9 ng/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation values on peak size (10 ng/ml level) and migration time for the two drugs were in the ranges 5-8 and 0.2-0.7% (n = 7), respectively. Applicability of the CE-ECL method to the analysis of human plasma spiked with EB and MP was examined. The LODs for EB and MP in plasma were 0.4 and 0.3 microg/ml, respectively.
