In this article, we show that the redox properties of the regulatory peptide L-glutathione are affected by the presence of nickel oxide impurities within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress by removing free radicals and peroxides. We show that the L-cysteine moiety in L-glutathione is responsible …
Different techniques and methods of electrochromatography on “lab on a chip” devices are reviewed. Described approaches include open-channel microchip electrochromatography relying on C-8, C-18 and novel gold nanoparticle (GNP) coating of microchannel wall; packed-channel microchip electrochromatography with new ways of automated loading and unloading of conventional octadecylsilica beads; monolith-based microchip electrochromatography with tailored casting of …

An integrated microfluidic device is used to derivatize, separate, and amperometrically detect amino acids and peptides in the presence of naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxyaldehyde (NDA). The integrated system offers a rapid (4 min) simultaneous measurements of 5 amino acids (Arg, Lys, Gly, Cys, PhenA) down to the 3.2 muM level in connection to a precolumn reaction chamber, an …
