A two-dimensional thin-layer chromatographic procedure for the estimation of plasmalogens.

ABSTRACT: 1. The use of two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography is described that allows the rapid and simultaneous determination of phospholipid classes and their constituent plasmalogens. 2. The method is based on the specific hydrolysis of plasmalogens to (2-acyl) lysophospholipid in the presence of a mercuric chloride spray reagent. 3. The proportion of mercuric chloride-labile phospholipid present in each phospholipid class, calculated on the basis of phosphorus recoveries from the charred chromatogram, was compared with the proportion of long-chain aldehyde and of total lipid phosphorus found in small-scale preparations of each class of phospholipid. 4. The method permits the determination of individual plasmalogens on preparations containing as little as 0.2mug.atom of total lipid phosphorus.

Room temperature rubbing for few-layer two-dimensional thin flakes directly on flexible polymer substrates.

Project description:The functional layers of few-layer two-dimensional (2-D) thin flakes on flexible polymers for stretchable applications have attracted much interest. However, most fabrication methods are "indirect" processes that require transfer steps. Moreover, previously reported "transfer-free" methods are only suitable for graphene and not for other few-layer 2-D thin flakes. Here, a friction based room temperature rubbing method is proposed for fabricating different types of few-layer 2-D thin flakes (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂), and tungsten disulphide (WS₂)) on flexible polymer substrates. Commercial 2-D raw materials (graphite, h-BN, MoS₂, and WS₂) that contain thousands of atom layers were used. After several minutes, different types of few-layer 2-D thin flakes were fabricated directly on the flexible polymer substrates by rubbing procedures at room temperature and without any transfer step. These few-layer 2-D thin flakes strongly adhere to the flexible polymer substrates. This strong adhesion is beneficial for future applications.

Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry analysis of lipids after two-dimensional high-performance thin-layer chromatography partial separation.

Project description:Molecular imaging of separate but still incompletely resolved spots on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) plates is used for the direct analysis of porcine brain lipids by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). Eight class-specific spots were imaged in the negative ion mode and shown to contain more than fifty lipids. A low lateral resolution of 400 x 400 microm allowed simple, rapid, and incomplete separation to be combined with DESI imaging for the identification of many components of these extremely complex mixtures. In this work, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was also employed to confirm the identity of particular lipids directly on HPTLC plates.

Validation of high-performance thin-layer chromatographic methods for the identification of botanicals in a cGMP environment.

Project description:Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for botanicals stipulates the use of appropriate methods for identification of raw materials. Due to natural variability, chemical analysis of plant material is a great challenge and requires special approaches. This paper presents a comprehensive proposal to the process of validating qualitative high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) methods, proving that such methods are suitable for the purpose. The steps of the validation process are discussed and illustrated with examples taken from a project aiming at validation of methods for identification of green tea leaf, ginseng root, eleuthero root, echinacea root, black cohosh rhizome, licorice root, kava root, milk thistle aerial parts, feverfew aerial parts, and ginger root. The appendix of the paper, which includes complete documentation and method write-up for those plants, is available on the J. AOAC Int. Website (http://www.atypon-link.com/AOAC/loi/jaoi).

Enhanced production of recombinant HALT-1 pore-forming toxin using two-step chromatographic procedure.

Project description:Hydra actinoporin-like toxin-1 (HALT-1) has been isolated from Hydra magnipapillata and is highly cytolytic against various human cells including erythrocyte. Previously, recombinant HALT-1 (rHALT-1) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by the nickel affinity chromatography. In this study, we improved the purification of rHALT-1 by two-step purifications. Bacterial cell lysate containing rHALT-1 was subjected to the sulphopropyl (SP) cation exchange chromatography with different buffers, pHs, and NaCl concentrations. The results indicated that both phosphate and acetate buffers facilitated the strong binding of rHALT-1 to SP resins, and the buffers containing 150 mM and 200 mM NaCl, respectively, removed protein impurities but retain most rHALT-1 in the column. When combining the nickel affinity chromatography and the SP cation exchange chromatography, the purity of rHALT-1 was highly enhanced. In subsequent cytotoxicity assays, 50% of cells could be lysed at ∼18 and ∼22 µg/mL of rHALT-1 purified with phosphate and acetate buffers, respectively.•HALT-1 is a soluble α-pore-forming toxin of 18.38 kDa.•rHALT-1 was purified by nickel affinity chromatography followed by SP cation exchange chromatography.•The cytotoxicity of purified rHALT-1 using 2-step purifications via either phosphate or acetate buffer was comparable to those previously reported.

Layer-by-layer self-assembly of pillared two-dimensional multilayers.

Project description:We report Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly of pillared two-dimensional (2D) multilayers, from water, onto a wide range of substrates. This LbL method uses a small molecule, tris(2-aminoethyl) amine (TAEA), and a colloidal dispersion of Ti3C2Tx MXene to LbL self-assemble (MXene/TAEA)n multilayers, where n denotes the number of bilayers. Assembly with TAEA results in highly ordered (MXene/TAEA)n multilayers where the TAEA expands the interlayer spacing of MXene flakes by only ~ 1 Å and reinforces the interconnection between them. The TAEA-pillared MXene multilayers show the highest electronic conductivity of 7.3 × 104 S m-1 compared with all reported MXene multilayers fabricated by LbL technique. The (MXene/TAEA)n multilayers could be used as electrodes for flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors delivering a high volumetric capacitance of 583 F cm-3 and high energy and power densities of 3.0 Wh L-1 and 4400 W L-1, respectively. This strategy enables large-scale fabrication of highly conductive pillared MXene multilayers, and potentially fabrication of other 2D heterostructures.

An open-source smartphone app for the quantitative evaluation of thin-layer chromatographic analyses in medicine quality screening.

Project description:Substandard and falsified medicines present a serious threat to public health. Simple, low-cost screening tools are important in the identification of such products in low- and middle-income countries. In the present study, a smartphone-based imaging software was developed for the quantification of thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) analyses. A performance evaluation of this tool in the TLC analysis of 14 active pharmaceutical ingredients according to the procedures of the Global Pharma Health Fund (GPHF) Minilab was carried out, following international guidelines and assessing accuracy, repeatability, intermediate precision, specificity, linearity, range and robustness of the method. Relative standard deviations of 2.79% and 4.46% between individual measurements were observed in the assessments of repeatability and intermediate precision, respectively. Small deliberate variations of the conditions hardly affected the results. A locally producible wooden box was designed which ensures TLC photography under standardized conditions and shielding from ambient light. Photography and image analysis were carried out with a low-cost Android-based smartphone. The app allows to share TLC photos and quantification results using messaging apps, e-mail, cable or Bluetooth connections, or to upload them to a cloud. The app is available free of charge as General Public License (GPL) open-source software, and interested individuals or organizations are welcome to use and/or to further improve this software.

Further Validation of a Rapid Screening Semiquantitative Thin-Layer Chromatographic Method for Marketed Antimalarial Medicines for Adoption in Malawi.

Project description:A recently developed semiquantitative thin-layer chromatographic (SQ-TLC) assay has been employed in postmarketing surveillance of antimalarial medicines used in Malawi prior to HPLC assay. Both methods gave analogous results in a significant majority of the samples, with a good correlation (r?=?0.9012) for the active pharmaceutical ingredients of the dosage forms assayed. Artemether-containing medicines had the highest percentage (92.67%) of samples with comparable results for both assays. The lowest percentage (66.67%) was observed in artesunate-containing medicines. The SQ-TLC method was validated for specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, and stability according to the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines, with the results falling within acceptable limits. For specificity, retention factor values of the test samples and reference standards were comparable, while accuracy and precision of 91.1?±?5.7% were obtained for all samples. The method was linear in the range 1.0-2.0?µg/spot with a correlation coefficient of r?=?0.9783. Stability tests also fell within acceptable limits. In this study, we present the validation of the SQ-TLC method and propose its adoption as a rapid screening tool for field estimation of the quality of antimalarial and other essential medicines in Malawi and other parts of the developing world prior to a more accurate HPLC assay.

Layer-edge device of two-dimensional hybrid perovskites.

Project description:Two dimensional layered organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (2D perovskites) are potential candidates for next generation photovoltaic device. Especially, the out-of-plane surface perpendicular to the superlattice plane of 2D perovskites (layer-edge surface) has presented several exotic behaviors, such as layer-edge states which are found to be crucial for improving the efficiency of 2D perovskite solar cells. However, fundamental research on transport properties of layer-edge surface is still absent. In this report, we observe the electronic and opto-electronic behavior in layer-edge device of 2D perovskites. The dark and photo currents are demonstrated to strongly depend on the crystallographic orientation in layer-edge device, and such anisotropic properties, together with photo response, are related to the thickness of inorganic layers. Finally, due to the abundant hydroxyl groups, water molecules are easy to condense on the layer-edge surface, and the conductance is extremely sensitive to the humidity environment, indicating a potential application of humidity sensor.

Transparent Conductive Two-Dimensional Titanium Carbide Epitaxial Thin Films.

Project description:Since the discovery of graphene, the quest for two-dimensional (2D) materials has intensified greatly. Recently, a new family of 2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) was discovered that is both conducting and hydrophilic, an uncommon combination. To date MXenes have been produced as powders, flakes, and colloidal solutions. Herein, we report on the fabrication of ∼1 × 1 cm2 Ti3C2 films by selective etching of Al, from sputter-deposited epitaxial Ti3AlC2 films, in aqueous HF or NH4HF2. Films that were about 19 nm thick, etched with NH4HF2, transmit ∼90% of the light in the visible-to-infrared range and exhibit metallic conductivity down to ∼100 K. Below 100 K, the films' resistivity increases with decreasing temperature and they exhibit negative magnetoresistance-both observations consistent with a weak localization phenomenon characteristic of many 2D defective solids. This advance opens the door for the use of MXenes in electronic, photonic, and sensing applications.

Two-Dimensional Mechanics of Atomically Thin Solids on Water.

Project description:Movement of a three-dimensional solid at an air-water interface is strongly influenced by the extrinsic interactions between the solid and the water. The finite thickness and volume of a moving solid causes capillary interactions and water-induced drag. In this Letter, we report the fabrication and dynamical imaging of freely floating MoS2 solids on water, which minimizes such extrinsic effects. For this, we delaminate a synthesized wafer-scale monolayer MoS2 onto a water surface, which shows negligible height difference across water and MoS2. Subsequently patterning by a laser generates arbitrarily shaped MoS2 with negligible in-plane strain. We introduce photoswitchable surfactants to exert a lateral force to floating MoS2 with a spatiotemporal control. Using this platform, we demonstrate a variety of two-dimensional mechanical systems that show reversible shape changes. Our experiment provides a versatile approach for designing and controlling a large array of atomically thin solids on water for intrinsically two-dimensional dynamics and mechanics.
