These investigations help us in uncovering the artist's style and techniques and provide invaluable information for restoration, preservation and conservation. In paint formulation, the binder, also known as medium, disperses insoluble pigments and creates a homogeneous, adhesive mixture. Various analytical techniques, often used in combination, are usually employed to characterize binders with infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies being the most common choices. Recently, mass spectrometry (MS) has gained prominence for its ability to allow detailed structural characterization and identification, thanks to soft ionization sources such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI). However, MS typically requires micro-sampling, which is often prohibited for highly valuable artworks. This limitation has driven research toward the development of innovative minimally invasive sampling strategies like enzyme-functionalized gels applied to polychromies for in-situ protein digestion and peptide extraction. These quasi-non-invasive methods offer powerful solutions for extracting and characterizing organic painting binders, unlocking valuable insights into these elusive materials. This review aims to explore both the most common non-invasive analytical techniques used to characterize ancient and contemporary painting binders, and the most recent advancements in minimally invasive sampling strategies, which represent convenient and interesting approaches to enable the use of invasive analytical approaches while preserving the integrity of precious artworks.</p>","PeriodicalId":240,"journal":{"name":"Analytica Chimica Acta","volume":"1335 ","pages":"343251"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142790719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving this aspect requires, besides the optimization of other parameters, the challenging increase of the drift voltage as deduced from fundamental equations describing the broadening of a drifting ion swarm. We recently succeeded in constructing an improved high voltage instrument equipped with an electrospray source capable of analysing liquid samples with resolving powers above 200. This instrument was further perfected with a newly developed heated desolvation tube guiding the ions to the injection gate. The electrospray desolvation process was thus enhanced while the separation region was maintained at room temperature to keep diffusional band broadening to a minimum. A further modification was also made to the detector circuitry in order to reduce its noise.<h3>Results</h3>To demonstrate the performance of the instrument several challenging ion mixtures, including two herbicides, a polymer mixture, and isomers of carnitine esters were successfully separated and detected. The resolving powers, calculated from the arrival time and peak width at half height, ranged from 123 to 228. The latter value represents 96% of the theoretically achievable resolving power at the working drift voltage of 24.1 kV.<h3>Significance</h3>Stand-alone electrospray ion mobility spectrometry is not often used and has not yet been developed to its full potential.

Existing research has confirmed that entropy-driven catalyst (EDC) biosensors not only fulfills the demands for sensitivity and selectivity concurrently but also offers ease of operation and flexibility in construction. In this review, we summarize the key advantages of EDC, explore how to construct DNA nanomachines based on these advantages to achieve intracellular detection and simultaneous detection of multiple targets, as well as point-of-care testing (POCT) to address practical issues in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Bee venom also contains toxic components such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and hyaluronidase (HYA), which cause allergic reactions, so the toxic components must be removed to use MLT. In previous studies, analytical methods were used to separate MLT. This study used micro-free flow electrophoresis (μFFE) for MLT separation. This separation was simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and molecular dynamics simulation (MD). The glass chip was fabricated using the wet etched method, and MLT separation was investigated experimentally.<h3>Results</h3>The CFD results demonstrated that MLT was separated from PLA2 and HYA in less than 3 minutes, and MLT and toxic components took different paths in the channel.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers a promising approach for rapid analysis of biomass elemental. However, the accuracy of LIBS detection is susceptible to chemical matrix effects. Particularly in the case of biomass, characterized by its complex composition, the absence of pertinent studies on effect mechanisms impedes the enhancement of analytical accuracy.<h3>Results</h3>In this study, we investigated and compared two types of matrix effects related to chemical properties in biomass samples (analyte forms and matrix composition). Firstly, the inconsistency of K spectral response among different chemical properties samples and the performance of univariate models were analyzed.

Moreover, the compositional content of biomass samples is analyzed to correlate the matrix effect in LIBS measurements to a chemical property of the specimen. It is indicated that differences in volatile and ash content may lead to variations in the plasma excitation process, resulting in distinct spectra.
