The application of 384-well format solid phase extraction (SPE) for bioanalysis using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is reported and a 384-well SPE method for the 5-HT agonist sumatriptan in human plasma described. Plasma samples were extracted on a prototype low-density polyethylene 384-well SPE block using a packed bed of 5 mg Oasistrade mark HLB. Liquid handling was automated by a combination of a robotic sampler processor and a 96/384 multi-channel dispensing station. Samples and SPE reagents were drawn through the SPE block by centrifugation. The extracts were analysed by LC/MS/MS with thermally and pneumatically assisted electrospray ionisation and selected reaction monitoring. The method is used to illustrate and discuss the feasibility and viability of sample preparation techniques in high-density microtitre plate format for routine bioanalysis.
A chip which allows the detection of various human health markers from a trace amount of blood has been studied. As a goal, a microcapillary with a 30 x 30 microm cross-section was fabricated using all-dry etching technologies on a 2 x 2 cm SiO2 chip. The coating of the biocompatible 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer on the inner quartz wall of the microcapillary demonstrated a sufficiently long adsorption suppression of proteins in the serum on the quartz surface, while rapid stopping occurred for serum injected into the microcapillary with a bare quartz surface. The latter rapid stopping corresponded well to fast electroosmosis flow due to the negatively increasing zeta-potential by the adsorption of proteins on the quartz surface. The electroosmosis pump arranged a downstream of the microcapillary was also developed to inject serum into it. As a preliminary application, a given concentration-standard solution was injected into the ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) embedded in the chip, employing the electroosmosis pump arranged downstream of the sensor position. Hence, the pH and Na+ and K+ cation concentrations were measured.
