Stanovení protaminů kapilární zónovou elektroforézou / Capillary zone electrophoresis determination of protamines

Malý, Michal January 2015 (has links)
This work deals with development and optimization of a method for separation and detection of pro- tamines using capillary zone electrophoresis. The developed method uses a fused silica capillary with inner diameter of 50 µm and effective length of 41,5 cm. Driving voltage is 30 kV. Background electrolyte is aque- ous solution of 45 mmol dm−3 phosphoric acid. Analyte is detected spectrophotometrically at wavelength of 200 nm. Sample is injected hydrodynamically. The method allows for determination of protamines in the concentration range between 11 µg ml−1 to 1000 µg ml−1 , limit of detection is 4 µg ml−1 . Viablity of the method has been verified with a real sample of NPH insulin injection. For sufficiently sensitive detection of protamines in NPH insuline it is necessary to prepare the sample in acidic environment. For the pur- poses of this work the sample was acidified by addition of background electrolyte into the sample so that the background electrolyte concentration in the resulting solution of the sample was 18 mmol dm−3 . The main advantage of the method is the rapid analysis, migration time of the analyte is about 2 min. Disadvantage of the method in comparison to alternate methods using CZE or RP-HPLC is the inability to separate individ- ual protamine peptides. This disadvantage...

Capillary electrophoresis and related techniques for the analysis of fresh water algal toxins.

John, Wilson. January 1997 (has links)
As cyanobacteria (also known as blue green algae) produce a range of cyclic peptides which are highly toxic, capillary electrophoresis and associated techniques have been investigated to assess their applicability for toxin monitoring in the water bodies of kwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a technique in which charged molecules can be efficiently separated in a buffer solution within a capillary tube under the influence of a strong electric field. Two CE modes, namely capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) were initially evaluated using a laboratory-built CE instrument. The former mode lacked selectivity due to the similar charge to size ratio of the algal toxins. However, with the latter mode, incorporation of a surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate) into the buffer, produced sufficient resolution between components. Parameters including surfactant concentration, buffer ionic strength, buffer pH and operating voltage were systematically optimized to separate the four algal toxins under investigation (microcystin YR, microcystin LR, microcystin RR and nodularin). The optimum separation conditions were: 30 mM borax, 9 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate, pH 9.18, 30 kV applied voltage, 10 s hydrodynamic injection, 70 cm x 50 Ilm Ld. bare fused silica capillary (LEFF 40 cm) and UV detection at 238 nm. Under these conditions, typical detection limits were in the low ng/IlL range (14.13 ng/IlL for microcystin LR to 29.85 ng/ILL for nodularin). The MECC method was evaluated in terms of migration time precision, efficiency and resolution, peak area and normalised peak area precision. Standard deviation values for retention times acquired using replicate electrokinetic injections ranged from 0.018 to 0.054 and 0.069 to 0.148 for hydrodynamic injections. Normalised peak area precision for replicate hydrodynamic injections were in the range 84 to 97 % RSD, while improved % RSD values of 11.5 to 18.7 were achieved for electrokinetic injections. Due to poor precision resulting from the lack of automation on the laboratory built CE system, poor correlation between increasing concentration and a corresponding change in normalised peak areas were achieved. The MECC method developed was applied to the analysis of an algal scum extract to illustrate the technique. A general problem with CE is that it suffers from poor detection sensitivity. Hence in this study, alternative injection modes, sample concentration strategies and alternative detection techniques were investigated in an attempt to improve detection limits for algal toxins. Using optimized electrokinetic injection conditions, detection limits were five to ten times better than those obtained with hydrodynamic injections. On-line sample concentration methods were partially successful. Field amplified back and forth MECC in which analyte injected in the entire column volume and subsequently focused in a narrow band by manipulating the electric field, resulted in an enormous sensitivity enhancement that ranged from 197 times for microcystin RR to 777 times for microcystin YR when compared to hydrodynamic injections. Field amplified sample stacking (FASI) was ineffective for toxin preconcentration, while electro-extraction produced detection limits ranging from 0.27 ng/J.tL for microcystin YR to 1.08 ng/J.tL for microcystin RR. Solid phase extraction, in which analytes are first trapped and concentrated on HPLC material in a cartridge and then eluted in a more concentrated form for injection, was found to be practical only in the offline mode. A concentration detection limit of less than 0.002 ng/J.tL was obtained. Attempts with on-line solid phase extraction failed due to problems associated with coupling the cartridge with the separation capillary. Finally, laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection was investigated as an alternative to UV detection. Unfortunately, the algal toxins were not amenable to LIF detection because tagging with the fluorescent moiety, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), was prevented by the stereochemistry of these cyclic peptides. A comparative study between HPLC and MECC revealed that the former displayed poor efficiency peaks and long analysis times for toxin analysis. However HPLC was superior in terms of retention time precision (0.12 to 0.64 % RSD) and area precision (1.78 to 2.86 % RSD). Mass detection limits for MECC (0.0142 to 0.0603 ng) were far superior to those achieved by HPLC (0.55 to 1.025 ng). In addition to HPLC and MECC, a preliminary investigation of micro-high performance liquid chromatography (J.tHPLC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) for the analysis of algal toxins was made using 50 J.tm Ld. capillary columns packed in-house, with reverse phase HPLC packing material. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, 1997.

Comprehensive Isotachophoresis-Capillary Electrophoresis Coupled to Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Bowerbank, Christopher Ryan 02 May 2001 (has links)
Isotachophoresis (ITP) coupled to capillary zone electrophoresis (CE) in a comprehensive manner was used to separate mixture components in both insufficient and sufficient concentrations without heart-cutting or splitting. Examples of comprehensive ITP-CE involving multiple CE injections of preconcentrated ITP zones are demonstrated. In the comprehensive arrangement, all of the sample in the first dimension (ITP) is subjected to analysis in the second dimension (CE), without significant sample loss or decrease in sample detectability resulting from removal of a portion of the sample. This is especially important for analytes at low concentrations which may form a single mixed zone instead of individual ITP zones. Direct online coupling of ITP to CE in this comprehensive arrangement involved the use of columns having different diameters with one directly inserted inside the other. A counterflow was applied when the isotachophoretic sample stack reached the bifurcation point. Large volume (10 µL) injections were made using an electrically-insulated commercial polymeric rotary valve injector for increased reproducibility compared to previous comprehensive ITP-CE studies, with ITP and CE retention time RSD values ranging from 2-5%. An ultraviolet (UV) detector positioned at the bifurcation point was used to determine the beginning of CE injection. Application of a splitting voltage at the bifurcation point showed no affect on analyte transfer into the CE column. By using multiple injections of the ITP band(s), CE column overloading was not observed. Online capillary isotachophoresis (ITP) and comprehensive isotachophoresis-capillary electrophoresis (ITP-CE) were also coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI)-orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). Separations were performed using 200 µm I.D. and 50 µM I.D. polyvinylalcohol (PVA)-coated fused silica capillaries for ITP and CE, respectively. Both ITP and ITP-CE were coupled to TOFMS for analysis of sufficient (10-5 M) and insufficient (10-6-10-7 M) concentrations of angiotensins in mixtures. ITP-TOFMS of a single mixed zone of five angiotensins (3 x 10-7 M) showed that ion suppression due to the co-elution of angiotensin III in the electrospray significantly reduced the ionization of other analytes. A practical solution to the detection difficulties for ITP mixed zones involved the insertion of a CE separation between the ITP and TOFMS for online preconcentration, separation, and identification in one system.

Komplexační rovnováhy beta-blokátorů v CZE / Complex equilibriums of beta-blockers in CZE

Kanizsová, Lívia January 2016 (has links)
Drugs used in the pharmaceutical industry often occur as a mixture of several isomers with a different biological activity. In a case that some isomer provides an undesirable side effect, it is important to separate it from the mixture and check the chiral purity of a drug. Capillary zone electrophoresis plays a significant role in chiral separations. A different affinity of isomers to complexation reagent is used for their separation from each other. The extent of their interaction is characterized by the complexation constant. Most commonly the cyclodextrins are used for the chiral separations of β-blockers and they could be in neutral or charged form. They probably interact with them through the creation of inclusion complexes. A successful baseline enantioseparation of all the β-blockers that have been studied, labetalol, pindolol, alprenolol and atenolol, was provided by using the background electrolyte containing charged cyclodextrins. The highest resolution of peaks was observed using sulfated cyclodextrins.

Pokročilé techniky separace a analýzy dat v kapilární elektroforéze / Advanced Separation Techniques and Data Processing in Capillary Electrophoresis

Ansorge, Martin January 2021 (has links)
Techniques of capillary electrophoresis are essential for both the quantitative and qualitative analysis of a large variety of compounds. They find application in many areas of chemistry, from pharmacological industry and food processing, up to highly specialized biotechnological laboratories. Over the last hundred years, their mathematical model has been described with precision. Thus, current research mainly aims for the development of more advanced and more specialized applications. During the greatest boom of affinity capillary electrophoresis within the nineties, many authors would describe similar phenomena under different names. The first part of this work focuses on the consolidation and unification of the problematics and terminology of this method. It also discusses the phenomena which can affect electromigration and separation during electrophoretic processes. We will focus on a specific subset of affinity capillary electrophoresis, partial filling capillary electrophoresis, which, to our knowledge, has not been fully theoretically explored yet, and present a mathematical model allowing the determination of complexation constants and state some limitations of this approach. The second part of this thesis focuses on the development and application of computer softwares, which are meant...
