We have developed a miniaturized two-way detection system using thermal lens and fluorescence spectroscopies for microchip chemistry. The system was composed of laser diode (LD) modules, fiber-based optics combined with a gradient index lens, and miniaturized detection units for thermal lens and fluorescence signals. The detection limits in the thermal lens and fluorescence spectroscopies were 6.3 x 10(-9)M for Ni(II) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid and 3.0 x 10(-9)M for cy5, respectively. The performance of the system with the miniaturized thermal lens was equivalent to that of a conventional thermal lens microscope. The fluorescence sensitivity was comparable to sensitivities offered by conventional miniaturized systems.
In comparison with most analytical chemistry techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance has an intrinsically low sensitivity, and many potential applications are therefore precluded by the limited available quantity of certain types of sample. In recent years, there has been a trend, both commercial and academic, towards miniaturization of the receiver coil in order to increase the mass sensitivity of NMR measurements. These small coils have also proved very useful in coupling NMR detection with commonly used microseparation techniques. A further development enabled by small detectors is parallel data acquisition from many samples simultaneously, made possible by incorporating multiple receiver coils into a single NMR probehead. This review article summarizes recent developments and applications of "microcoil" NMR spectroscopy.
Separation and focusing of proteins is described in a miniaturised dynamic field gradient focusing device with a 2.5 cm x 0.1 cm channel filled with a porous polymer monolith. The separation channel is in contact with a parallel electric field channel with five individually addressable electrodes through a porous glass membrane so that a variable field can be generated that drives charged proteins electroosmotically against a constant hydrodynamic flow. Separated pre-stained proteins were detected by means of a digital camera and background subtraction.
