Methods DL111-IT and internal standard glybenzcyclamide in rabbit plasmawere extracted with chloroform. The determination was performed on a Diamonsil ODS-C_(18) column(150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.025 mol·L^(-1) diammoniumhydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 5.0, adjusted by phosphoric acid) (60:40, V/V) at a flow-rate of 1.0mL·min^(-1) . Fluorescence detector was operated at excitation wavelength of 250 nm and emissionwavelength of 332 nm. Results The calibration curve in plasma was linear from 1.00 - 20.00ng·mL^(-1) ( r = 0.999 6, n = 5). The method afforded average extracting recoveries of 85.3% ±1.3%, 84.9% ± 2.7% and 85.8% ± 1.8%, and the average method recoveries were 99.5% ±0.4%, 102.1%± 1.8% and 101.3% ± 2.4% for the high (20.00 ng·mL^(-1)) , middle (10.00 ng·mL^(-1)) and low (1.00 ng·mL^(-1)) check samples, respectively. The intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 5) precisions(RSD) were less than 3.0% and 7.0%, respectively. The limit of detection and quantitation for themethod were 0.3 ng·mL^(-1) (S/N = 3) and 1 ng·mL^(-1) (S/N = 10, RSD<7.0%) plasma sample,respectively.

The method was validated to meet official requirements including selectivity, stability, linearity, precision and accuracy. Chromatography was carried out using a LiChrospher RP-18 column, a mixture containing acetonitrile, phosphate buffer of pH 3.5 and methanol (45:45:10, v/v/v) and new fluorescence detection at 255 nm for excitation and 448 nm for emission. The effect of methanol content, pH of the buffer, flow rate, detection wavelengths and column temperature was estimated in robustness study, according to a plan defined by the Plackett-Burman design. For identification of significant effects, both graphical and statistical methods were used. Ro-bustness for dissolution test was checked estimating the effects of paddle speed, temperature and pH of dissolution medium. The method was proved to complying with all official guidelines.

Owing to the extremely low abundance of 5fC in all mammalian tissues and high structural similarity with other cytosine derivatives, the precise and sensitive detection of 5fC is challenging. Herein, a photo-elutable and template-free isothermal amplification strategy has been proposed for the sensitive detection of 5fC in genomic DNA based on5fC-specific biotinylation, enrichment, photocleavage, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(Td T)-assisted fluorescence signal amplification, which is termed 5fC-PTIAS. By introducing the highly specific chemolabeling and the one-step photoelution processes, this strategy possesses a minimal nonspecific background as well as a much higher amplification efficiency. With the high signal-to-noise ratio, this strategy can achieve the accurate quantification of 5fC in various biological samples including mouse brain, kidney, and liver, with a limit of detection(LOD) of 0.025‰ in DNA(S/N=3). These results not only confirm the widespread distribution of 5fC but also indicate its significant variation in different tissues and ages. The bisulfite-and mass spectrometry-free strategy is highly sensitive, selective, and easily mastered, holding great promise in detecting other epigenetic modifications with much lower levels.展开更多

In this study, we developed a sensitive and efficient method using high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with fluorescence detection for the assay of five important amino acid n After derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde （OPA）, aspartate （Asp）, glutamic acid （Glu）, glycine （Gly）, taurine （Tau） and ）,-aminobutyric acid （GABA） were simultaneously detected in the presence of the internal standard homoserine （Hse）. Precise separation of these five amino acids was achieved using isocratic elution within 24 min. Good linearity was found over the concentration range with correlation coefficients （r2） not less than 0.9998. The limit of detection （LOD） values were no more than 10 nmol/L. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility was adequate with the relative standard deviation （RSD） of 10.5% or below. This method has also been applied to the analysis of amino acids in the substantia nigra and striatum samples obtained from C57BL/6 mice.展开更多

In this new HPLC-FLD method, analytes were directly extracted and separated without deriveatization step within 20 min. The FLD wavelength was set at 280 nm and 330 nm for excitation and emission, respectively. The analytes were separated on an Agilent Eclipse Plus Cls column （4.6 mm×150 mm, 5.0 μm） equipped with an Agilent XDB-C18 security guard column （4.6 mm×12.5 mm, 5.0 lam）, and the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃. The mobile phase for elution was isocratic. The mobile phase consisted of citric acid buffer （50 mmol/L citric acid, 50 mmol/L sodium acetate, 0.5 mmol/L octane sulfonic acid sodium salt, 0.5 mmol/L Na2EDTA and 5 mmol/L triethylamine, pH 3.8） and methanol （90：10, v/v） at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection limit （DL） was 0.9-23 nM for all the MANTs and their metabolites with a sample volume of 50 μL. The method was shown to be highly reproducible in terms of peak area （intraday, 0.08%-1.85% RSD, n = 5）. The simultaneous measurement of these MANTs and their metabolites improved our understanding of the neurochemistry in the central nervous system （CNS） in relation to different addictive drugs （methamphetamine, heroin and their mixture） in drug-addicted rat models.展开更多

Production of recombinant human erythropoietin （rhEPO） has made it possible for its abuse in competitive sports. In this work, pre-capillary and on-capillary derivatization by 5-furoylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde （FQ） and fluorescein isothiocyanate （FITC） for the detection of rhEPO by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection （CE-LIF） were compared. FQ pre-capillary labeling improves sensitivity but degrades the glycoforms separation due to the inhomogeneity of the reaction products from multiple labeling. Compared with FITC pre-capillary derivatization with the excess fluorescent background, the on-capillary FQ derivatization method can provide shorter analysis time, lower background, and better selectivity. It is demonstrated that, through optimizing reaction conditions of FQ on-capillary derivatization, both high sensitivity and satisfactory resolution for the analysis of the be used for the glycoforms profiling and quality control of rhEPO doping control analysis. glycoforms of rhEPO could be obtained. This method can It may be used as a candidate method for fast screening in展开更多

The 2,4-dinitrophenol imprinted polymers exhibited highly selective recognition for the template molecule and the maximum adsorption capacity was 138.9 mg/g. The results indicated that when water is used as the loading solution, only 2,4-dinitrophenol could be adsorbed on the spin column without the remaining structural analogs（2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol and phenol）. After eluting with acetonitrile/acetic acid（9/1, v/v）, 2,4-dinitrophenol in serum samples could be determined by using the fluorescence spectrometer, based on the fluorescence enhancement of fluorescein by the template molecule. Under the optimal conditions, the spiked recovery ranged from 95.8% to 103.4% and the detection limit was 1 nmol/L. The results confirmed the reliability and practicality of the protocol and revealed a good perspective of this method for biological sample analysis.展开更多

Laser-induced fluorescence（LIF） detection is one of the most sensitive detection methods in a capillary electrophoresis（CE） system. However, most proteins do not exhibit favourable native fluorescence, a derivatization procedure is necessary for LIF detection of proteins. Since the derivatization reaction between protein and fluorescent reagent takes place after the separation of protein, the separation cannot be compromised by multiple derivatization products, the post-column derivatization becomes an attractive method for derivatization in CE-LIF system.展开更多

The FPIA showed an IC50 value of 23.33 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 13.12 ng/mL for AFB1. The cross-reactivities of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, AFM1, and AFM2 with the antibody were 100%, 65.7%, 143%, 23.5%, 111.4%, and 2%, respectively. The group-specificity of anti-AFB1mAb indicated that the FPIA could potentially be used in a screening method for the detection of total AFs, albeit not AFG2 and AFM2. The total time required for analyzing 96 samples in one microplate was less than 5 rain. This study demonstrates the potential usefulness of the FPIA as a rapid and simple technique for monitoring AFs.展开更多

文摘As a widespread element,heavy metals have a significant impact on human health and threaten human health.It is of great significance to develop analytical technologies that can detect heavy metal ions quickly and accurately.In comparison to conventional fluorescent materials such as organic dyes,quantum dot(QD)labels,and carbon quantum dots(CD),fluorescence detection technology utilizing lanthanide(Ln)ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles(UCNPs)stands out due to its distinctive attributes.These include a notably reduced autofluorescence background,enhanced tissue penetration capabilities,biocompatibility with cellular tissues,and minimal photodamage inflicted on biological samples.The utilization of this technology has garnered considerable attention across multiple fields.In the domain of heavy metal detection,traditional laboratory methods necessitate costly instrumentation and a fully equipped laboratory,involving intricate sample processing procedures and protracted detection periods,as well as a demand for skilled personnel.In contrast,the implementation of this material offers rapid and cost-effective detection,significantly mitigating the technical barriers for operators.Consequently,this represents an exceptional avenue to curtail expenses and broaden the scope of detection within the analytical process.This paper reviews the research progress of UCNPs in the detection of heavy metal ions,encompassing a brief elucidation of the luminescence principle of upconversion nanomaterials and commonly used detection principles.Additionally,it provides a detailed overview of the research status of several common non-metal ions and essential heavy metals.Furthermore,it summarizes the current focal points in UCNP detection and discusses the challenges and prospects associated with it.
文摘Amino acid neurotransmitters facilitate the transmission of nerve messages across the synapses and play essential roles in the control and regulation of a variety of functions in the central and peripheral nervous system. In this study, we developed a sensitive and efficient method using high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with fluorescence detection for the assay of five important amino acid n After derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde （OPA）, aspartate （Asp）, glutamic acid （Glu）, glycine （Gly）, taurine （Tau） and ）,-aminobutyric acid （GABA） were simultaneously detected in the presence of the internal standard homoserine （Hse）. Precise separation of these five amino acids was achieved using isocratic elution within 24 min. Good linearity was found over the concentration range with correlation coefficients （r2） not less than 0.9998. The limit of detection （LOD） values were no more than 10 nmol/L. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility was adequate with the relative standard deviation （RSD） of 10.5% or below. This method has also been applied to the analysis of amino acids in the substantia nigra and striatum samples obtained from C57BL/6 mice.

文摘Abstract： In the presem study, we simultaneously quantified the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters （MANTs） and their metabolites （levodopa, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, 5-HT, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid） in different brain subregions of rats using a newly developed simple, sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection （HPLC-FLD） method. In this new HPLC-FLD method, analytes were directly extracted and separated without deriveatization step within 20 min. The FLD wavelength was set at 280 nm and 330 nm for excitation and emission, respectively. The analytes were separated on an Agilent Eclipse Plus Cls column （4.6 mm×150 mm, 5.0 μm） equipped with an Agilent XDB-C18 security guard column （4.6 mm×12.5 mm, 5.0 lam）, and the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃. The mobile phase for elution was isocratic. The mobile phase consisted of citric acid buffer （50 mmol/L citric acid, 50 mmol/L sodium acetate, 0.5 mmol/L octane sulfonic acid sodium salt, 0.5 mmol/L Na2EDTA and 5 mmol/L triethylamine, pH 3.8） and methanol （90：10, v/v） at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection limit （DL） was 0.9-23 nM for all the MANTs and their metabolites with a sample volume of 50 μL. The method was shown to be highly reproducible in terms of peak area （intraday, 0.08%-1.85% RSD, n = 5）. The simultaneous measurement of these MANTs and their metabolites improved our understanding of the neurochemistry in the central nervous system （CNS） in relation to different addictive drugs （methamphetamine, heroin and their mixture） in drug-addicted rat models.

文摘Human erythropoietin （hEPO）, an endogenous glycoprotein, plays a fundamental role in erythropoiesis controlling the formation of red blood cells. Production of recombinant human erythropoietin （rhEPO） has made it possible for its abuse in competitive sports. In this work, pre-capillary and on-capillary derivatization by 5-furoylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde （FQ） and fluorescein isothiocyanate （FITC） for the detection of rhEPO by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection （CE-LIF） were compared. FQ pre-capillary labeling improves sensitivity but degrades the glycoforms separation due to the inhomogeneity of the reaction products from multiple labeling. Compared with FITC pre-capillary derivatization with the excess fluorescent background, the on-capillary FQ derivatization method can provide shorter analysis time, lower background, and better selectivity. It is demonstrated that, through optimizing reaction conditions of FQ on-capillary derivatization, both high sensitivity and satisfactory resolution for the analysis of the be used for the glycoforms profiling and quality control of rhEPO doping control analysis. glycoforms of rhEPO could be obtained. This method can It may be used as a candidate method for fast screening in

文摘The porous g-C_(3)N_(4)(PCN)nanosheets are successfully synthesized and further modified with nano-sized Ag by a simple wet-chemical process.Intere stingly,the Ag-modified porous g-C_(3)N_(4)(Ag-PCN)nanosheets exhibit competitive fluorescence detection performance of chloride ion(Cl)in aqueous solutio n.Under the optimized conditions,the concentration of Cl could be quantitative analyzed with the Ag-PCN in a wide detection range from 0.5 mmol/L to 0.1 mol/L,with a low detection limitation of 0.06 mmol/L.It is confirmed that the fluorescence of PCN could be effectively decayed by the photoinduced charge transfer via the adsorbed Cl for trapping holes,mainly by means of the time-resolved fluorescence and surface photo voltage spectra.The porous structure and modified Ag promote the adsorption of Cl on resulting Ag-PCN,leading to excellent fluorescence detection for Cl.This work provides a feasible route to develop a fluorescence detection of Cl with g-C_(3)N_(4) nanosheets in environment water.

文摘A rapid, simple and selective method based on molecularly imprinted, spin column extraction coupled with fluorescence detection was successfully established for the determination of 2,4-dinitrophenol in serum samples. The 2,4-dinitrophenol imprinted polymers exhibited highly selective recognition for the template molecule and the maximum adsorption capacity was 138.9 mg/g. The results indicated that when water is used as the loading solution, only 2,4-dinitrophenol could be adsorbed on the spin column without the remaining structural analogs（2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol and phenol）. After eluting with acetonitrile/acetic acid（9/1, v/v）, 2,4-dinitrophenol in serum samples could be determined by using the fluorescence spectrometer, based on the fluorescence enhancement of fluorescein by the template molecule. Under the optimal conditions, the spiked recovery ranged from 95.8% to 103.4% and the detection limit was 1 nmol/L. The results confirmed the reliability and practicality of the protocol and revealed a good perspective of this method for biological sample analysis.

文摘Proteomics is becoming more and more mature, but the detection of low abundance proteins is still a difficult task. Laser-induced fluorescence（LIF） detection is one of the most sensitive detection methods in a capillary electrophoresis（CE） system. However, most proteins do not exhibit favourable native fluorescence, a derivatization procedure is necessary for LIF detection of proteins. Since the derivatization reaction between protein and fluorescent reagent takes place after the separation of protein, the separation cannot be compromised by multiple derivatization products, the post-column derivatization becomes an attractive method for derivatization in CE-LIF system.

文摘Conjugated microporous polymers(CMPs)are a kind of porous skeleton polymers,which are characterized by extended conjugated skeletons,large specific surface area and structure stability.In this work,a facile and versatile method was developed to fabricate flexible conjugated microporous polymer films for fast detecting the total quantity of developing agents and their oxidation products.Conjugated microporous polymer films were synthesized through in situ one-step approach by Suzuki coupling reaction.With such merits such as intense luminescence,easy synthesis and disposability,the polymer films were employed to detect developers based on fluorescence quenching in the printing wastewater.A linear response to p-benzoquinone,oxidation product of developers,was obtained in the range of 0.05-0.5 lmolL-1,with a detection limit of 0.015 lmolL-1.The strategy for in situ growth of flexible polyphenylene-conjugated microporous polymer(PP-CMP)films seems to be a very portable and general method for meeting different analytic purposes.

文摘Biomass-derived carbon dots(C-dots)are considered a very important carbon material in metal ion detection of their small environmental impact,simple preparation process,and relatively low cost.A green approach for synthesizing biomass-derived C-dots from Chenpi using a hydrothermal method without further processing is proposed in the present study.The as-synthesized C-dots show excellent fluorescence properties,superior resistance to UV irradiation photobleaching,and high photostability in salt-containing solutions.The C-dots were used in the form of label-free fluorescent probes for sensitively detecting Hg^(2+)selectively.The outcome relationship behaved linearly and was established based on a given range between 10–300 nM concentration,with a detection limit of 7.0 nM.This green strategy obtains a high C-dot quantum yield of 10.8%and satisfactory results in detecting Hg^(2+)in actual water samples.

文摘A fluorescence polarization immunoassay （FPIA） was developed for the analysis ofaflatoxins （AFs） using an anti-aflatoxin B1 （AFB1） monoclonal antibody and a novel fluorescein-labeled AFB1 tracer. The FPIA showed an IC50 value of 23.33 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 13.12 ng/mL for AFB1. The cross-reactivities of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, AFM1, and AFM2 with the antibody were 100%, 65.7%, 143%, 23.5%, 111.4%, and 2%, respectively. The group-specificity of anti-AFB1mAb indicated that the FPIA could potentially be used in a screening method for the detection of total AFs, albeit not AFG2 and AFM2. The total time required for analyzing 96 samples in one microplate was less than 5 rain. This study demonstrates the potential usefulness of the FPIA as a rapid and simple technique for monitoring AFs.
