Abstract

A mathematical model and the corresponding computer program based on an algorithm for calibration of eye movements are described. The latter is used to represent and analyse eye movements on a monitor screen using the EYE/HAND software, with the aid of which movements of eye and hand can be represented either simultaneously or separately. Demands on the rate of data acquisition and representation of the curves (real-time monitoring) are satisfied. Calibration is based on vector transformation of the digitised analog values to monitor coordinates. The parameters of the transformation algorithm are determined by fixation of the eye movements to freely selectable monitor screen markers.

Analysis of DNA fragments from conventional and microfabricated PCR devices using delayed extraction MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Applications of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product analysis using rapid affinity capture followed by delayed extraction (DE) MALDI-TOFMS is presented. Such applications include multiplex short tandem repeat (STR) typing, which is demonstrated for STR systems from conventional and microchip-based thermal cycling instruments. Using the combination of the microfabricated PCR instrument and DE-MALDI-TOFMS, a complete genotyping assay can be performed in under 50 min with a resultant molecular weight accuracy approaching or exceeding 100 ppm through external calibration. The observed resolution and mass accuracy for a 69-base PCR product enables identification of single base substitutions by direct molecular weight determination.

Solid-phase microextraction of monocyclic aromatic amines from biological fluids.

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) protocol was developed for the quantitative analysis of monocyclic aromatic amines from biological fluids. The headspace SPME sampling technique was optimized for extraction and concentration of five target analytes (aniline, o-toluidine, 2-chloroaniline, 2,6-dimethylaniline, 2,4,6-trimethylaniline) from urine, blood, and milk. The temperature, pH, and ionic strength of the matrix sample were modified to allow maximum adsorption of the analytes onto the SPME fiber. This method is rapid yet sensitive and can be completed in 15 min on a 5-mL sample. SPME/GC/MS analysis yielded good reproducibility (RSD > 11%) for each analyte from urine, blood, and milk. Method detection limits for the various biological fluids were determined and ranged from 0.40 ppb for 2,4,6-trimethylaniline in urine to 7.7 ppb for aniline in blood. This SPME sampling protocol can be applied to the biomonitoring of monocyclic aromatic amines from occupational, environmental, and medical exposure.

Phantom glucose calibration models from simulated noninvasive human near-infrared spectra.

The validity of published reports claiming to have successfully measured in vivo blood glucose from noninvasive near-infrared spectra collected in a time-dependent manner is challenged on the basis of results obtained from a phantom glucose spectral data set. An in vitro model is used to simulate noninvasive human near-IR spectra. The phantom glucose data set is created by purposely omitting glucose in these modeled samples. Glucose values are then assigned to successive phantom glucose spectra, and multivariate calibration models are generated for glucose based on partial-least squares regression. As expected, calibration models are incapable of predicting glucose values when the glucose assignments are made randomly. Apparently functional models are obtained, however, when glucose assignments are made in a nonrandom, time-dependent manner. Prediction errors from these nonrandom models are essentially identical to those published by other as evidence of successful noninvasive blood glucose measurements. Chance temporal correlations between assigned glucose concentrations and some uncontrolled experimental parameter are responsible for this apparent model functionality.
