A flow-injection system with an immobilized enzyme reactor is proposed for the determination of l-phenylalanine. Phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Rhodoccus sp. M4 was immobilized on tresylated poly (vinyl alcohol) beads (13 μm) and packed into a stainless-steel column (5 cm 4 mm i.d.). Serum sample was deproteinized with tungstic acid and filtered through an ultrafiltration membrane. The sample...
A simple fluorescence detector for capillary electrophoresis (CE) using a blue light-emitting-diode (LED) as excitation source is constructed and evaluated. An optical fiber was used to collect the fluorescence, and a flat end of the fiber was modified to spherical end, resulting in 50% increase of efficiency over the flat end. A simple device for optical alignment of the fibers and capillary column...
In combination with abasic site (AP site)-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), we demonstrate potential use of a hydrogen bond forming ligand, 2-amino-7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine (AMND), for the fluorescence detection of the cytosine (C)/guanine (G) mutation sequence of the cancer repression gene p53. Our method is based on construction of the AP site in ODN duplexes, which allows small synthetic...

A microchip-based method was developed for on-line determination of trace sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) in air. Gaseous SO 2 , which diffused through the porous glass materials on the microchip, was absorbed into an absorption solution of triethanolamine (TEA) as sulfite ions and reacted with N-(9-acridinyl)maleimide (NAM), which was used as a fluorescent reagent. The fluorescence of NAM-sulfite...
A sensitive method for the detection of catecholamine based on the fluorescence quenching of CdSe nanocrystals was developed. The sodium citrate-protected CdSe nanocrystals were synthesized in water solution. The fluorescence quenching of CdSe nanocrystals by dopamine, uric acid, ascorbic acid and catechol was studied; the results showed that all of these four kinds of compounds could quench the fluorescence...
An integrated light emitting diode (LED)-induced fluorescence detector was described and evaluated. The LED and its related components including lens and interference filter, the optical fiber used to collect fluorescence, and the capillary column are integrated into a substrate block, which eliminates the need of align procedure of the fiber and the capillary. Forty-fold enhancement of sensitivity...
A system was proposed to remove the upper mass limitation of mass spectrometry. In present study, ultra large molecules were separated in the gas phase by mass analyzer after electrospray ionization. Instead of conventional detection with electron multiplier, a laser-induced-fluorescence detection scheme was applied. The instrument sensitivity is independent of molecular weight, but related to the...
A glycerol assisted light-emitting diode (LED)-induced fluorescence detector (IF) for capillary flow systems was constructed and evaluated. A blue LED was used as the excitation source, and optical fibers (OF) were used to transmit the excitation light and collect the fluorescence. A commercial available 5-port manifold was used as detection cell, where the capillary tube and the OF were fixed into...
A sensitive and efficient method for simultaneous determination of glutamic acid (Glu), γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA), dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in rat endbrains was developed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection and on-line mass spectrometric identification following derivatization with 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl...

In this protocol, a fluorescent aptasensor based on magnetic separation for simultaneous detection thrombin and lysozyme was proposed. Firstly, one of the anti-thrombin aptamer and the anti-lysozyme aptamer were individually immobilized onto magnetic nanoparticles, acting as the protein captor. The other anti-thrombin aptamer was labeled with rhodamine B and the anti-lysozyme aptamer was labeled with...
