Development of divergent-flow isoelectric focusing chip for separation of biological agents

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is an efficient method for separation of different bacterium species. Divergent flow format of IEF (DF-IEF) enables continual separation of large volumes of samples and fractionation of the separated analytes for later analysis. The mentioned properties enabled development of DF-IEF chip for separation of H2O2 inactivated biological agents (B-agents). The chip was designed to perform separation in vertical alignment which solved issues connected with sedimentation of bacterial cells. The separation method was optimized using colored markers of isoelectric point and four different b-agents were separated using the DF-IEF chip. The obtained fractions were subsequently analyzed with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The mass spectra proved that the developed DF-IEF chip is an effective tool for separation of inactivated B-agents.
Portable liquid chromatograph and analyses of hazardous substances
Šesták, Jozef ; Gogaľová, Zuzana ; Kahle, Vladislav ; Lunerová, K.
Progress in technology of microchips, batteries and LEDs in the last two decades enable development of portable instruments which can satisfy the requirements of modern liquid chromatography (LC). Application of portable LC is advantageous if simple and rapid sample treatment procedure followed by a short HPLC run can be executed in the point of sampling. Our research group have developed a concept of portable HPLC based on simple hydraulic scheme and a unique optical detector for simultaneous detection of absorbance and fluorescence of compounds eluted off microcolumn. Considering in-field analysis of hazardous substances, this instrument can be advantageous for analysis of compounds which are difficult to detect and quantify by other contemporary portable instruments utilizing different working principles due to incompatibility with their physico-chemical properties (e. g. microbial toxins).
