High-throughput assay of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) using a multichannel liquid handling system coupled with a microplate fluorescence reader in 96-well format.

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay has been widely accepted as a standard tool to measure the antioxidant activity in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, the ORAC assay has been criticized for a lack of accessibility due to the unavailability of the COBAS FARA II analyzer, an instrument discontinued by the manufacturer. In addition, the manual sample preparation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The objective of this study was to develop a high-throughput instrument platform that can fully automate the ORAC assay procedure. The new instrument platform consists of a robotic eight-channel liquid handling system and a microplate fluorescence reader. By using the high-throughput platform, the efficiency of the assay is improved with at least a 10-fold increase in sample throughput over the current procedure. The mean of intra- and interday CVs was <or=15%, and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 5 and 6.25 microM, respectively.

Automatic flow system with voltammetric detection for diacetyl monitoring during brewing process.

Diacetyl can be determined by adsorptive stripping voltammetry after derivatization with o-phenylenediamine. The method may be applicable to the determination of diacetyl in different foods, being a good alternative to other analytical methods. In this work an on-line automated analytical system for diacetyl determination in beer is described. A hanging mercury drop electrode voltammetric flow detector was used, and the analyte was determined without the traditional deoxygenation procedure. The method was successfully applied to the determination of diacetyl during beer fermentation and in the final product. The automation strategy used was based on a flow network similar to those used in multicommutated flow systems, with a pervaporation unit used for diacetyl separation. The developed system was tested in real conditions in the monitoring of brewing processes. The results obtained were similar to those obtained with the usual GC-ECD methodology in the 5-600 ppb range. The analytical rate of the developed method is about 12 determinations/h.
