Low-cost 3D-printed fluorescence detector for capillary electrophoresis
Přikryl, Jan ; Foret, František
We have verified the possibility of Fused Deposition Modeling (type of additive manufacturing) for lab-made construction of inexpensive fluorescence detector for capillary electrophoresis using commercially available optical components. Sensitivity of fabricated and assembled detection system was tested by fluorescein solutions. Limits of detection were determined for several tested arrangements.

Capillary electrophoretic chiral analysis and estimation of helix inversion barrier of helquats using randomly sulfated cyclodextrins as chiral selectors
Kašička, Václav ; Koval, Dušan ; Sázelová, Petra ; Severa, Lukáš ; Adriaenssens, Louis ; Vávra, Jan ; Teplý, Filip
Capillary electrophoresis in acidic sodium phosphate background electrolyte, pH 2.4, with randomly sulfated alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins as chiral selectors was employed for fast, high-resolution separation of enantiomers of a series of 24 helquats, a new class of N-heteroaromatic dicationic helicene-like species. The developed CE methodology will be utilized in the further investigation of helquats, e.g., in evaluation of their preparative enantioresolution procedures, in monitoring of their racemization and determination of interconversion barrier of helquat enantiomers.

Analysis of antimicrobial peptides by capillary electrophoresis
Ehala, Sille ; Niederhafner, Petr ; Čeřovský, Václav ; Řezanka, P. ; Sýkora, D. ; Král, V. ; Kašička, Václav
Capillary electrophoresis was used for the purity degree determination of new antimicrobial peptides: octadecapeptide melectin and tetradecapeptide mastoparan PDD-B, and their synthetic analogues. Besides, four semiempirical models correlating electrophoretic mobilities of these peptides with their charge and size (relative molecular mass) were applied to predict their probable structures in solution. Additionally, capillaries coated with gold nanoparticles were employed for the separation of mixtures of antimicrobial peptides.
