Quantification of Nitrite Ion in Environmental Water Samples by Ratiometric Fluorescence Indicator in Combination with Quantitative Fluorescence Model / 分析化学

A novel method was proposed for the quantification of nitrite ion in aqueous samples by the combination of an advanced quantitative fluorescence model with ratiometric fluorescence indicator 2 , 3-diaminonaphthalene . The proposed method was tentatively applied to direct quantitative determination of nitrite ion in turbid environmental water samples containing both scatterers and absorbers; and its performance was thoroughly investigated and evaluated. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could realize accurate quantitative determination of nitrite ion in environmental water samples with recovery rates in the range of 90. 8%-103. 0%, which were comparable to the corresponding values of HPLC-DAD experiments. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the proposed method were estimated to be 1 . 9 and 5. 8 nmo/L, respectively.

Research Progress of Three-dimensional Fluorescence Coupled with Chemical Multiway Calibration / 分析化学

Fluorescent technology is widely used in many fields due to its high sensitivity. However, the direct quantification of one target analyte in complex system is still difficult to be achieved when using the traditional fluorescent method without any pretreatment separation procedure. This is due to the fact that serious overlapping of fluorescence spectra often occurs, mainly originating from natural interferences in complex sample backgrounds, or the interferents with similar structures to a target analyte, particularly in the simultaneous analysis of multi-components samples. The rapid development of modern analytical instruments and three-way data collection techniques has led to a resurgence of interest in the development of chemomet-rics-based analytical strategies, which might light a new avenue to simple experimentation using“mathematical separation” as a replacement or enhancement of“physical or chemical separation” of uncalibrated background or interferents. These methods can offer a highly attractive property, called“second-order advantage”, which allows for the direct and rapid determination of a single target component or simultaneous determination of multiple target components in complex samples, even in the presence of uncalibrated interferences. The property has been a hotspot in the current chemometric domain, and was successfully employed for many applications, such as pharmaceuticals, biological, food, environmental analysis and so on.

Application of Inorganic Layered Materials in Electrochemical Sensors / 分析化学

Inorganic layered materials with the open structure of low dimension and good biological compatibility and stability are considered as one of the most promising materials for immobilizing biomolecules, which can not only adjust the spacing of layers according to guest molecular size to prevent leakage of guest molecule, but also reduce the effects of surrounding elements on immobilized molecules significantly. Moreover, they can promote electron transfer between enzyme and the electrode. Therefore, the inorganic layered materials have great application potential in electrochemical sensors. This paper reviews the ways of immobilizing guest molecules of inorganic layered materials and the applications and development prospects of the different types of inorganic layered materials including cationic, anionic and nonionic inorganic layered materials in electrochemical sensor.

Highly Sensitive Fluorescent Aptasensor for Thrombin Detection Based on Competition Triggered Rolling Circle Amplification / 分析化学

Based on the competition reaction of target protein, aptamer probe, padlock probe and complementary sequence, a highly sensitive fluorescent aptasensor was developed in this study in combination with rolling circle amplification. In the absence of target protein, the ligation-rolling circle amplification reaction was repressed because the complementary sequence hybridized with aptamer probe to form double-stranded duplex. While in the presence of target protein, the target molecules bound specifically with aptamer probe, inducing displacement of the complementary sequence and hybridization with padlock probe. The padlock probe was circularized with the assistance of E. coli DNA ligase, and the rolling circle amplification process could be accomplished by Phi 29 DNA polymerase. The amplification product contained thousands of repeated sequences which could hybridize with the loop of molecular beacon ( the detection probes) , resulting in a significant fluorescence signal. The effects of length of complementary DNA ( CDNA ) sequence and concentration of padlock probe were investigated. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the model target protein thrombin could be highly sensitively detected by the proposed aptasensing system in a linear range of 0 . 067-32 . 4 nmol/L with a detection limit of 0 . 03 nmol/L ( approximately 90 amol target molecules). Moreover, the presented sensing method was universal for other target analysis by skillfully design of the sequence of aptamer probe and related oligonucleotides.

A New Fluorescence Immunosensing Method Based on Aptamer-plasmid Complex Amplification / 分析化学

A novel simple,sensitive fluorescence immunosensing method based on aptamer-plasmid complex amplification was developed. This method utilized the specific recognition between antibody and antigen as well as aptamer-plasmid complex and the intercalation of fluorescence dye SYBR Green Ⅰ in the groove of duplex plasmid DNA in detection of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB). The immunoassay was performed in the microtiter wells in which rabbit anti PDGF-BB antibody was immobilized. The PDGF BB analyte was captured by the primary antibody and then sandwiched by the aptamer-plasmid DNA complex. The introduction of fluorescence dye SYBR Green Ⅰ allows for the detection of the sandwiched immunocomplex of antibody/anigen/aptamer-plasmid complex. Under the optimized conditions of salt concentration,ratio of aptamer to PUC19,and SYBR Green Ⅰ concentration,the proposed method offers a linear detection range from 0.2 μg/L to 200 μg/L with a detection limit of 0.1μg/L.
