Abstract

A newly designed glass-PDMS microchip-based sensor for use in the determination of Ca(2+) ions has been developed, utilizing reflectance measurements from arsenazo III (1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid-2,7-bis[(azo-2)-phenyl arsenic acid]) immobilized on the surface of polymer beads. The beads, produced from cross-linked poly(p-chloromethylstyrene) (PCMS), were covalently modified with polyethylenimine (PEI) to which the Arsenazo III could be adsorbed. The maximum amount of Arsenazo III which could be immobilized onto the PEI-attached PCMS beads was found to be 373.71 mg g(-1) polymer at pH 1. Once fabricated, the beads were utilized at the detection point of the microfluidic sensor device with a fiber optic assembly for reflectance measurements. Samples were mobilized past the detection point in the sensor where they interact with the immobilized dye. The sensor could be regenerated and re-used by rinsing with HCl solution. The pH, voltage, linear range, and the effect of interfering ions were evaluated for Ca(2+) determination using this microchip sensor. At the optimum potential, 0.8 kV, and pH 9.0, the linear range of the microchip sensor was 3.57 x 10(-5) - 5.71 x 10(-4) M Ca(2+), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.68 x 10(-5) M. The microchip biosensor was then applied for clinical analysis of calcium ions in serum with good results.

Study on the binding of Arsenazo-TB to human serum albumin by Rayleigh light scattering technique and FT-IR.

The interaction between Arsenazo-TB and human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by Rayleigh light scattering (RLS) technique and Fourier transformed IR (FT-IR). The binding parameters of Arsenazo-TB with HSA were studied at different temperature of 288, 298, 308, 318 K under the optimum conditions. It is indicated by the Scatchard plots that the binding constant K decreased from 5.03 x 10(7) to 7.13 x 10(6) and the maximum binding number N reduced from 53 to 36 with the increasing of the temperature. The binding process was exothermic, enthalpy driven and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses, and the major part of the binding energy is hydrophobic interaction. The free energy change deltaG0, the enthalpy change deltaH0 and the entropy change deltaS0 of 288 K were calculated to be -42.46 kJ/mol, -49.17 kJ/mol and 318.15 J/mol K, respectively. The alterations of protein secondary structure in the presence of Arsenazo-TB in aqueous solution were quantitatively calculated from FT-IR spectroscopy with reductions of alpha-helix from 57% to 40% and with increases of beta-sheet from 36% to 39%, beta-turn from 7% to 21%.

Application of cause-and-effect analysis to potentiometric titration.

A first attempt has been made to interpret physicochemical data from potentiometric titration analysis in accordance with the complete measurement-uncertainty budget approach (bottom-up) of ISO and Eurachem. A cause-and-effect diagram is established and discussed. Titration data for arsenazo III are used as a basis for this discussion. The commercial software Superquad is used and applied within a computer-intensive resampling framework. The cause-and-effect diagram is applied to evaluation of seven protonation constants of arsenazo III in the pH range 2-10.7. The data interpretation is based on empirical probability distributions and their analysis by second-order correct confidence estimates. The evaluated data are applied in the calculation of a speciation diagram including uncertainty estimates using the probabilistic speciation software Ljungskile.

Determination of Mn(II) and Co(II) with Arsenazo III.

Complex formation between Arsenazo III and Mn2+ and Co2+ at equilibrium has been investigated at pH 7.2, and the stoichiometry and stability of the complexes have been determined. The data indicate that Arsenazo III is suitable for determination of Mn2+ and Co2+ on the micromolar scale. The dissociation constants of the phosphate complexes of Mn2+ and Co2+ at pH 7.2 were estimated with Arsenazo III as 3.6 and 10 mM, respectively.
