Prerequisite to running automated sequences of analyses in capillary electrophoresis is a stable performance of the system. The products of the electrode reaction with the running background electrolyte (BGE) may play an important role, since even the neutral products may be driven into the capillary by electroosmosis and may severely deteriorate the stability of the baseline. Here, a simple, inexpensive, and fast procedure is described for improving the stability of the performance of capillary electrophoresis using a modified vial serving as the electrode chamber for the running BGE. The modification is based on creating two separate rooms in the vial, one for the electrode and a second one for the capillary. These two rooms are connected by a cotton plug. When both rooms are filled with the running BGE, the electrolytic connection between the electrode and the capillary is ensured; however, the convective transport of the electrode reaction products into the capillary is practically eliminated.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to record, during labor, the brain stem auditory evoked potentials of the fetus from standard fetal scalp electrodes. STUDY DESIGN: A personal computer-based instrument was developed to record, during labor, brain stem auditory evoked potentials from 10 fetuses ranging in gestational age from 36 to >/=40 weeks. Auditory stimulus was provided by clicks (16/s) delivered on the mother's abdomen with an intensity of 120 dB. The evoked potential signals were digitized and averaged. Interfering artifacts were excluded from the averages. RESULTS: In 80% of the subjects, all the principal waveforms of the brain stem auditory evoked potentials-waves I, III, and V-were clearly identifiable. The latency for wave I ranged from 1.2 to 2.2 ms, wave III from 3.4 to 5.6 ms, and wave V from 5.8 to 8.4 ms. The morphologic features of the waveform and the interwave latency values were similar to those of normal term infants recorded in the past studies. CONCLUSION: We have reestablished that it is possible to record auditory evoked potentials during labor from fetal scalp electrodes. Brain stem auditory evoked potentials may be a useful screening tool for at least the severely neurologically damaged fetus.
