JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA novel cell-adhesion surface, controlled by nanometer-scale topography and chemical patterning, was developed using semiconductor fabrication methods and the formation of self-assembled monolayers. The patterned surface had a sharp contrast between the adsorption and non-adsorption of proteins and cells, and the contrast could be maintained for more than 10 days. The patterning method could easily realize a single cell array and control of the cell morphology. The nanometer-scale patterned surface could control cell adhesion and proliferation. Using the patterned surface will contribute to studies about cell-surface interactions.View full abstractDownload PDF (140K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe fluorescence of 4-(4′-dimethylamino)styryl-1-methylpyridinium (C1SP) was enhanced by more than 33-fold by complexation with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) bearing a naphthalene, pyrene, or phenylboronic acid group. The great enhancement of the fluorescence of C1SP was due to a π-π stacking interaction, by which the bond rotation of C1SP was effectively suppressed. The results indicate that C1SP and structurally related hemicyanine dyes potentially become powerful fluorescent indicators for aromatic compounds through the π-π stacking interaction in water.View full abstractDownload PDF (87K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCells are frequently exploited as processing components for integrated chemical systems, such as biochemical reactors and bioassay systems. By culturing vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in integrated chemical devices, vascular models have also been fabricated. Here, we utilized a thermally fused-glass microchip which is chemically and physically stable and favorable for optical detections, and cultured human arterial ECs (HAECs) in it. HAECs reached confluence within 4 days. Survival and tolerance for high shear stress (25 dyn/cm2) of the HAECs were confirmed. Furthermore, HAECs responded to inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis facor-α (TNF-α) and attached to more leukocyte cell line, HL-60 cells than unstimulated HAECs. Our developed device can be applied as a human arterial model, and we propose it as a new method for vascular studies.View full abstractDownload PDF (127K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA tetrakis-acridinyl peptide (TAP) cassette, consisting of a double-stranded region of alternating AT sequence bound to TAP and a single stranded overhanging sequence of continuous dA, was prepared by mixing TAP with d[A18(TA)51]. A TAP cassette could be applied to the fluorometric detection of hybridized DNA on the DNA chip, which was prepared by stamping a 45-meric DNA probe onto a gold-coated plastic chip using a high-precision spotter developed at RIKEN. Spots on the DNA chip were imaged by a CCD camera after hybridization with 65-meric target single-stranded DNAs carrying a continuous dA20 sequence (dA tail) on the DNA chip after treatment with a TAP cassette. Their fluorescence intensity on the DNA chip showed a good linear correlation with the concentration of the target DNAs in the range from 10 pM to 1 nM. Fluorescence of their spots derived from the TAP cassette remaining on the surface of the DNA chip through the dA tail of the hybridized target DNA. Furthermore, the TAP cassette could be successfully applied to the quantitative detection of complementary RNAs (cRNAs) prepared from rat brain with reverse transcription and in vitro transcription.View full abstractDownload PDF (101K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDNA microarray enables the analysis of DNA or mRNA expression levels, but it has not been possible to completely understand life using obtained information. Consequently, protein or peptide arrays have attracted much interest. Since the development of a practical protein microarray is still far away in light of handling difficulties, the peptide microarray is a promising tool for analyzing protein functions. We have developed a peptide microarray to detect protein kinase activity in cell lysate. All substrate peptides for kinases were immobilized chemoselectively on amino-coated glass slides. After phosphorylation of the immobilized peptides, phosphorylation was detected by fluorescence imaging. We detected the protein kinase activities, including that in cell lysate, in response to drug stimulation. Therefore, this peptide microarray would be useful for a high-throughput kinase assay of intracellular signals and would be applicable to drug screening.View full abstractDownload PDF (152K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper, we describe an amperometric-type enzymeless glucose sensing system based on a nanoporous platinum (Pt) electrode embedded in a microfluidic chip. This microchip system is comprised of a microfluidic transport channel network and a miniaturized electrochemical cell for nonenzymatic glucose sensing. Sample and buffer solutions were transferred to the cell by programmed electroosmotic flow (EOF). A nanoporous Pt electrode with the roughness factor of 200.6 was utilized to determine glucose concentrations in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) by the direct oxidation of glucose, without any separation process. The sensitivity of the developed system is 1.65 µA cm-2 mM-1 in the glucose concentration range from 1 - 10 mM in PBS.View full abstractDownload PDF (127K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA highly sensitive and simple electroanalytical methodology is presented using an in-situ bismuth film modified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (BiF-EPPGE) which is exemplified with the simultaneous determination of cadmium(II) and lead(II). Square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry is utilised with the effects of several experimental variables studied. Simultaneous additions of cadmium(II) and lead(II) were investigated where two linear ranges between 0.1 - 100 and 0.1 - 300 µg/L and also detection limits of 0.062 and 0.084 µg/L were obtained, respectively. The method was then successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of cadmium(II) and lead(II) in spiked river water, where recoveries of 100.5 and 98% were obtained, respectively. This electroanalytical protocol using edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes is one of the simplest methodologies to date using non-mercury based electrodes and is simpler and cheaper than alternatives such as carbon nanotube electrode arrays, suggesting the use of edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode for routine sensing.View full abstractDownload PDF (118K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA PVC membrane sensor for the selective determination of mebendazole (MBZ) was fabricated. The sensor is based on an ion association of MBZ with silicotungstic acid (STA) as ion pair and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (BEP) as the plasticizing agent in a PVC matrix. The sensor showed a linear response for MBZ for a concentration range 1.0 × 10-6 - 5.0 × 10-2 M with a Nernstian slope of 55.8 mV/decade (limit of detection 6.3 × 10-7 M) in the pH range 4 - 7. It has a fast response time of <30 s. The sensor showed a very good selectivity for MBZ with respect to a large number of ions. The direct determination of MBZ in pharmaceutical formulations gave results that compare well with the data obtained from the standard method.View full abstractDownload PDF (61K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn effective method for separating and enriching organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs) from vegetables by solvent sublation and the OPPs determination by gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (GC-FPD) has been developed. The effects of organic solvent, nitrogen flow rate, pH of the solution, sublation time etc. on the sublation efficiency of OPPs were investigated in detail, and the optimal conditions of solvent sublation were selected. The floated product of vegetables in the optimal conditions was determined by GC-FPD. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 1.2 µg kg-1 (for dimethoate) to 3.5 µg kg-1 (for chlorpyrifos). The recoveries of spiked vegetable samples were from 81.3 to 98.9%, and RSD values were from 0.46 to 4.83%. The results show that this method is simple, sensitive and rapid.View full abstractDownload PDF (73K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry is proposed as a reference method to determine the level of tyrosine in human serum. The advantages of this method include simple sample preparation without derivatization, the selective detection of compounds of interest in complex matrices, and the use of an isotopically labeled analogue as an internal standard. Tyrosine and its isotopically labeled analogue were monitored at a transfer m/z of 182.1/136.2 and 188.1/142.2, corresponding to [M+H]+/[M+H-HCOOH]+ in a multiple reaction monitoring mode. The expanded uncertainty for the measurement of tyrosine in the serum was approximately 0.95% within a 95% confidence level. For the verification of this method, a standard reference material with a certified value was analyzed. The analyzed result was in good agreement with the certified value. The isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry result of the human serum was also compared with results obtained from clinical laboratories, and showed inconsistent results. These inconsistent results suggest that standards certified by the proposed reference method are required in order to improve measurement reliability in clinical fields.View full abstractDownload PDF (69K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA device with direct sampling, dilution, and sample loading has been utilized to couple a vertically hanging immobilized cellulase bioreactor with a high-performance liquid chromatography system to make a successful on-line analysis of the 3 major carbohydrate products: glucose, xylose, and cellobiose in the cellulase hydrolysate. The coupled analysis system for successive on-line monitoring of the enzymatic hydrolysis of paper cellulose was stable over a period of 96 h. A comparative study involving 4 different quantification methods for the 3 carbohydrates was conducted. The internal standard calibration method with on-line dilution was observed to be the best procedure in terms of accuracy, precision, limit of detection, and systematic error reduction. With this method, the analysis for glucose had 99.9% accuracy, RSD below 2.4%, and a 2.1 ppm detection limit. Matrix matching was found important in the preparation of standard calibration curves with refractive index detection.View full abstractDownload PDF (94K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS2-(2,3-Anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexane derivatives (AC) have been known as the evolutionary diastereomerizing reagents for enantiomer discrimination in HPLC with ODS. However, a substantial separation of diastereomers can be observed only at lower temperatures, such as -40°C. Therefore, in this work, poly(octadecyl acrylate)-grafted silica, ODAn was applied as an alternative stationary phase to ODS for the separation of AC-derived diastereomers. As a result, complete separation was achieved even under the conventional condition: for example, methanol as the mobile phase and 0°C as the column temperature. An investigation on the temperature dependency of the selectivity demonstrated that ODAn shows a remarkable increase in selectivity at temperatures below 30°C, which almost agreed with the peak-top temperature of the endothermic peak in a DSC thermogram for ODA35 immersed in a mobile phase. The better separation would be derived from a highly ordered structure of ODAn and a carbonyl-π interaction with AC-derived diastereomers.View full abstractDownload PDF (174K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated for the fluorescent derivatization of kynurenic acid under conditions with no exposure to light. Non-fluorescent kynurenic acid was converted into a fluorescent compound (Ex: 367 nm, Em: 470 nm) with HRP in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, and the optimum conditions of this fluorescent derivatization were investigated. Moreover, this fluorescent derivatization was developed for a spectrofluorometric determination of trace amounts of kynurenic acid by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent compound. The calibration curve obtained was linear from 1.0 to 10.0 nmol of kynurenic acid in a 1.0 mL sample solution. The relative standard deviation at 5.0 nmol of kynurenic acid was 5.71% (n = 5). By adjusting the bandwidths for both the excitation and emission to 15 nm, the calibration curve was also linear in the range between 0.1 to 1.0 nmol of kynurenic acid in a 1.0 mL sample solution. This method was applied to the fluorometric determination of trace amounts of kynurenic acid in the control sera.View full abstractDownload PDF (68K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSQuantification of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) was studied by its chemiluminescence (CL) reaction with luminol in an alkaline medium. The stability of DBDMH, 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) and 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) in water was initially assessed by its CL reaction capability. The results indicated that the hydrolysis process was critically dependent on the types of reagents and their pHs. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation with CL detection procedure was applied to the DBDMH solution. It was found that at least 3 species in the aqueous DBDMH solution could oxidize luminol to give luminescence: one of them was confirmed to be hypobromite and the others could be the unhydrolyzed or active oxygen produced in the hydrolysis reaction. Finally, a flow-injection chemiluminescent method was proposed for the determination of DBDMH. The concentration of the analyte showed a linear relationship with the CL intensity in the range of 1.2 × 10-10 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol dm-3 and the detection limit was as low as 6.2 × 10-11 mol dm-3. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is 1.7% (n = 9) for 2.8 × 10-7 mol dm-3 DBDMH.View full abstractDownload PDF (71K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSNanoparticles of cadmium telluride coated with mercaptoacetic acid were prepared in the water phase. Further, an assay of lysozyme with a sensitivity at the nanogram level is proposed. At pH 7.28, lysozyme with positive charges can interact with CdTe nanoparticles. The resonance light-scattering (RLS) signals of functionalized nano-CdTe were greatly enhanced by lysozyme in the region of 300 - 600 nm, characterized with peaks located at 367, 470 and 533 nm. A linear relationship could be established between the enhanced RLS intensity and the lysozyme concentration in the range of 0.06 - 4.0 µg mL-1. The limit of detection was 9.5 ng mL-1. The contents of lysozyme were determined with recoveries of 95.6 - 104.8% and RSD of 1.5 - 2.3%, respectively. This method is sensitive, rapid, accurate and simple, and provides a new and reliable means for the quantity determination of lysozyme.View full abstractDownload PDF (122K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn automated on-line sample-preparation method using a computer-controlled pretreatment system (Auto-Pret AES system) coupled with ICP-AES was developed. In this work, an iminodiacetate chelating resin, packed in a mini-column and installed in the system was employed for the collection/concentration of 13 trace metals, including such toxic metals as Be, Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb. The limits of detection of the proposed method for trace metals were in the range of 0.001 (Be) - 0.18 (Pb) ng mL-1. The enrichment factors for metal ions were about 19 times, when 5 mL of samples were used. The sample throughput was 11 h-1. The accuracy and the precision of the method were evaluated using river-water reference materials, SLRS-4 from NRCC, JSAC 0301-1 and JSAC 0302 from the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry. The proposed method can be favorably applied to the collection/concentration of trace metals in natural water samples.View full abstractDownload PDF (129K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA simple method is described for preconcentration and separation of trace metals such as Ag, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb simultaneously from seawater using a cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure. Triton X-114 nonionic surfactant and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) have been used as an extraction medium and a chelating extractant, respectively. The amounts of Triton X-114 and APDC and the pH value necessary for extraction were carefully optimized. The preconcentration factor of about 200 is achieved for all the studied metals. Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) with an Ir coated graphite tube as permanent chemical modifier has been used for determination. The limits of detection of Ag, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb were 0.003, 0.008, 0.003, 0.006, 0.015, 0.002, 0.009 and 0.01 ng ml-1, respectively. Certified reference materials such as CASS-4 and NASS-5 (seawater) and NIST-1640 (natural water) have been used for validation of the new method. The relative standard deviation (%) obtained for all the metals are in the range 0.8 - 3.6% for natural water and 11 - 25% for seawater materials, except for Co in NASS-5 for which it was 50%.View full abstractDownload PDF (90K) -
