چکیده

A miniature scanning fluorescent detector has been developed for plastic microchannel isoelectric focusing (mIEF) analysis. The detector, comprised of a lamp and photomultiplier tube (PMT) on a moving stage, measured the real-time distribution of fluorescently labeled peptides subjected to gel-free mIEF. During the run, the effective length of the 6-cm channel was scanned every 9 s. Analysis was completed within 5 min while still obtaining high resolution and sensitivity. In addition, the scanning detector was used to characterize peptide migration properties within the channel by providing simultaneous temporal and spatial measurements.

Whole column fluorescence imaging on a microchip by using a programmed organic light emitting diode array as a spatial-scanning light source and a single photomultiplier tube as detector.

A novel miniaturized, integrated whole-column imaging detection (WCID) system on a microchip is presented. In this system, a program controlled organic light emitting diode (OLED) array was used as a spatial-scanning light source, to achieve imaging by the time sequence of the excited fluorescence. By this mechanism, a photomultiplier tube (PMT) instead of a charge coupled detector (CCD) can be...

Isoelectric Focusing and PCR-RFLP Joined Techniques for Alpha1-antitrypsin Deficiency Detection

53 persons suspected to alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency detection (AATD) were investigated for ZZ, MZ, ZS, SS, and MS alleles analysis by serum protein electrophoresis (SPE), measurement of trypsin inhibiting capacity (TIC), isoelectric focusing (IEF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and IEF/PCR-RFLP techniques. The result clearly shows by using SPE and TIC techniques only 35.85 % and 50.08% of ...

High-speed analysis of proteins by microchip isoelectric focusing with linear-imaging UV detection.

High-speed analyses of proteins by microchip isoelectric focusing (MCIEF) were investigated on straight channel chips. By employing a commercially available microchip electrophoresis instrument equipped with a linear-imaging UV detector, sample proteins focused in a separation channel could be detected without a mobilization step. Typically, standard proteins were focused within 210 s at differ...

Label-free microfluidic free-flow isoelectric focusing, pH gradient sensing and near real-time isoelectric point determination of biomolecules and blood plasma fractions.

We demonstrate the fabrication, characterization and application of microfluidic chips capable of continuous electrophoretic separation via free flow isoelectric focussing (FFIEF). By integration of a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent pH sensor layer under the whole separation bed, on-line observation of the pH gradient and determination of biomolecular isoelectric points (pI) was achieved within...

Microchip isoelectric focusing with monolithic immobilized pH gradient materials for proteins separation.

Monolithic immobilized pH gradient (M-IPG) materials were prepared in microchannles by photoinitiated polymerization of acrylamide, glycidylmethacrylate and Bis, followed by the attachment of focused Ampholine onto the surface of porous monoliths via epoxide groups. With M-IPG materials as matrix, FITC-labeled ribonuclease B, myoglobin and alpha-casein were well separated by microchip isoelectr...
