Lab-In-Syringe with Bead Injection Coupled Online to High-Performance Liquid Chromatography as Versatile Tool for Determination of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Surface Waters.

ABSTRACT: We report on the hyphenation of the modern flow techniques Lab-In-Syringe and Lab-On-Valve for automated sample preparation coupled online with high-performance liquid chromatography. Adopting the bead injection concept on the Lab-On-Valve platform, the on-demand, renewable, solid-phase extraction of five nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely ketoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, was carried out as a proof-of-concept. In-syringe mixing of the sample with buffer and standards allowed straightforward pre-load sample modification for the preconcentration of large sample volumes. Packing of ca. 4.4 mg microSPE columns from Oasis HLB^® sorbent slurry was performed for each sample analysis using a simple microcolumn adapted to the Lab-On-Valve manifold to achieve low backpressure during loading. Eluted analytes were injected into online coupled HPLC with subsequent separation on a Symmetry C18 column in isocratic mode. The optimized method was highly reproducible, with RSD values of 3.2% to 7.6% on 20 µg L^-1 level. Linearity was confirmed up to 200 µg L^-1 and LOD values were between 0.06 and 1.98 µg L^-1. Recovery factors between 91 and 109% were obtained in the analysis of spiked surface water samples.

Bead injection for biomolecular assays: Affinity chromatography enhanced by bead injection spectroscopy.

Project description:Selective capture of target biomolecules by ligands immobilized on a solid support is a cornerstone of two seemingly unrelated techniques: micro-Affinity Chromatography (microAC) and micro-Bead Injection Spectroscopy (microBIS). This work shows, for the first time, how these techniques can be carried out using the same instrument and how the data obtained this way complement each other, yielding complete information on retention and elution of target biomolecules. Biomolecular association and dissociation were investigated by microAC and microBIS, using computer-controlled programmable flow and the same instrument for automated bead transport, packing of a micro-column, assay of the analyte, and bead disposal. The absorbance of the analyte was monitored within the fiber optic flow cell configured either for monitoring directly on the beads or post-column after elution. The separation, binding, and elution of immunoglobulins (human IgG, rabbit IgG, and horse IgG) on protein G-coated Sepharose beads were studied as model systems. The limit of detection of the microAC technique was determined to be 5 ng microL(-1) IgG, and that of the microBIS technique was 50 ng microL(-1) IgG.

Nanofibrous Online Solid-Phase Extraction Coupled with Liquid Chromatography for the Determination of Neonicotinoid Pesticides in River Waters.

Project description:Polymeric nano- and microfibers were tested as potential sorbents for the extraction of five neonicotinoids from natural waters. Nanofibrous mats were prepared from polycaprolactone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polystyrene, polyamide 6, polyacrylonitrile, and polyimide, as well as microfibers of polyethylene, a polycaprolactone nano- and microfiber conjugate, and polycaprolactone microfibers combined with polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers. Polyimide nanofibers were selected as the most suitable sorbent for these analytes and the matrix. A Lab-In-Syringe system enabled automated preconcentration via online SPE of large sample volumes at low pressure with analyte separation by HPLC. Several mat layers were housed in a solvent filter holder integrated into the injection loop of an HPLC system. After loading 2 mL sample on the sorbent, the mobile phase eluted the retained analytes onto the chromatographic column. Extraction efficiencies of 68.8-83.4% were achieved. Large preconcentration factors ranging from 70 to 82 allowed reaching LOD and LOQ values of 0.4 to 1.7 and 1.2 to 5.5 µg·L-1, respectively. Analyte recoveries from spiked river waters ranged from 53.8% to 113.3% at the 5 µg·L-1 level and from 62.8% to 119.8% at the 20 µg·L-1 level. The developed methodology proved suitable for the determination of thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid, whereas matrix peak overlapping inhibited quantification of acetamiprid.

The Automation Technique Lab-In-Syringe: A Practical Guide.

Project description:About eight years ago, a new automation approach and flow technique called "Lab-In-Syringe" was proposed. It was derived from previous flow techniques, all based on handling reagent and sample solutions in a flow manifold. To date Lab-In-Syringe has evidently gained the interest of researchers in many countries, with new modifications, operation modes, and technical improvements still popping up. It has proven to be a versatile tool for the automation of sample preparation, particularly, liquid-phase microextraction approaches. This article aims to assist newcomers to this technique in system planning and setup by overviewing the different options for configurations, limitations, and feasible operations. This includes syringe orientation, in-syringe stirring modes, in-syringe detection, additional inlets, and addable features. The authors give also a chronological overview of technical milestones and a critical explanation on the potentials and shortcomings of this technique, calculations of characteristics, and tips and tricks on method development. Moreover, a comprehensive overview of the different operation modes of Lab-In-Syringe automated sample pretreatment is given focusing on the technical aspects and challenges of the related operations. We further deal with possibilities on how to fabricate required or useful system components, in particular by 3D printing technology, with over 20 different elements exemplarily shown. Finally, a short discussion on shortcomings and required improvements is given.

Analysis of androgenic steroids in environmental waters by large-volume injection liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:A new method was developed for the analysis of natural and synthetic androgenic steroids and their selected metabolites in aquatic environmental matrixes using direct large-volume injection (LVI) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Method accuracy ranged from 87.6 to 108% for analytes with well-matched internal standards. Precision, quantified by relative standard deviation (RSD), was less than 12%. Detection limits for the method ranged from 1.2 to 360 ng/L. The method was demonstrated on a series of 1 h composite wastewater influent samples collected over a day with the purpose of assessing temporal profiles of androgen loads in wastewater. Testosterone, androstenedione, boldenone, and nandrolone were detected in the sample series at concentrations up to 290 ng/L and loads up to 535 mg/h. Boldenone, a synthetic androgen, had a temporal profile that was strongly correlated to testosterone, a natural human androgen, suggesting its source may be endogenous. An analysis of the sample particulate fraction revealed detectable amounts of sorbed testosterone and androstenedione. Androstenedione sorbed to the particulate fraction accounted for an estimated 5 to 7% of the total androstenedione mass.

Lab-like findings from online experiments

Project description:Laboratory experiments have been often replaced by online experiments in the last decade. This trend has been reinforced when academic and research work based on physical interaction had to be suspended due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, data quality and results from web experiments have become an issue which is currently investigated. Are there significant differences between lab experiments and online findings? We contribute to this debate via an experiment aimed at comparing results from a novel online protocol with traditional laboratory settings, using the same pool of participants. We find that participants in our experiment behave in a similar way across settings and that there are at best weakly significant and quantitatively small differences in behavior observed using our online protocol and physical laboratory setting.

The Washington Needle Depot: fitting healthcare to injection drug users rather than injection drug users to healthcare: moving from a syringe exchange to syringe distribution model.

Project description:Needle exchange programs chase political as well as epidemiological dragons, carrying within them both implicit moral and political goals. In the exchange model of syringe distribution, injection drug users (IDUs) must provide used needles in order to receive new needles. Distribution and retrieval are co-existent in the exchange model. Likewise, limitations on how many needles can be received at a time compel addicts to have multiple points of contact with professionals where the virtues of treatment and detox are impressed upon them. The centre of gravity for syringe distribution programs needs to shift from needle exchange to needle distribution, which provides unlimited access to syringes. This paper provides a case study of the Washington Needle Depot, a program operating under the syringe distribution model, showing that the distribution and retrieval of syringes can be separated with effective results. Further, the experience of IDUs is utilized, through paid employment, to provide a vulnerable population of people with clean syringes to prevent HIV and HCV.

LabxDB: versatile databases for genomic sequencing and lab management.

Project description:SummaryExperimental laboratory management and data-driven science require centralized software for sharing information, such as lab collections or genomic sequencing datasets. Although database servers such as PostgreSQL can store such information with multiple-user access, they lack user-friendly graphical and programmatic interfaces for easy data access and inputting. We developed LabxDB, a versatile open-source solution for organizing and sharing structured data. We provide several out-of-the-box databases for deployment in the cloud including simple mutant or plasmid collections and purchase-tracking databases. We also developed a high-throughput sequencing (HTS) database, LabxDB seq, dedicated to storage of hierarchical sample annotations. Scientists can import their own or publicly available HTS data into LabxDB seq to manage them from production to publication. Using LabxDB's programmatic access (REST API), annotations can be easily integrated into bioinformatics pipelines. LabxDB is modular, offering a flexible framework that scientists can leverage to build new database interfaces adapted to their needs.Availability and implementationLabxDB is available at https://gitlab.com/vejnar/labxdb and https://labxdb.vejnar.org for documentation. LabxDB is licensed under the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

The characterisation of shellac resin by flow injection and liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionisation and mass spectrometry.

Project description:A strategy based on electrospray ionisation (ESI) in negative mode coupled with quadrupole-time of flight (Q-ToF) detection techniques was adopted to characterise some samples of shellac resin. Flow injection analysis (FIA) was used to investigate the distribution of the components of the resin. Eight groups of compounds with increasing masses were detected and assigned to free acids, esters and polyesters with up to eight units. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) enabled the compounds to be chromatographically separated. Accurate molecular masses and tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra interpretation were used to characterise the different compounds, assigning and/or suggesting molecular structures. In some cases, highly detailed information about the ester linkages was provided by the MS/MS spectra, enabling the different isomers to be distinguished. Oxidation products were also identified in the samples and differences were observed in terms of hydrolysis and oxidation. In addition to providing the first characterisation of shellac by HPLC-ESI-Q-ToF and an atlas of MS/MS spectra of shellac components, this work demonstrates the suitability of the proposed strategy for characterising the resin, and provides the identification of previously unknown degradation products and minor components. This represents a significant step forward in the chemical knowledge of this material.

DNA nanostructures: A versatile lab-bench for interrogating biological reactions.

Project description:At its inception DNA nanotechnology was conceived as a tool for spatially arranging biological molecules in a programmable and deterministic way to improve their interrogation. To date, DNA nanotechnology has provided a versatile toolset of nanostructures and functional devices to augment traditional single molecule investigation approaches - including atomic force microscopy - by isolating, arranging and contextualising biological systems at the single molecule level. This review explores the state-of-the-art of DNA-based nanoscale tools employed to enhance and tune the interrogation of biological reactions, the study of spatially distributed pathways, the visualisation of enzyme interactions, the application and detection of forces to biological systems, and biosensing platforms.
