In this study, we present an inertial microfluidic system to enable precise control of secondary flows within ultra-low aspect ratio (AR = 1: 9) microchannels. By introducing an identical number of micro-obstacles into both semicircular and straight microchannels, we observe distinct acceleration patterns of secondary flow at varying perfusion rates.

Notably, high-throughput particle manipulation is achieved in both modified configurations, with effective targeting of cancer cells across a wide throughput spectrum (ranging from 2 × 10<sup>6</sup> to 4 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells/min). The approach employed to enhance secondary flow in this work provides valuable insights into the design of low aspect ratio microchannels, highlighting their ease of use, high throughput capabilities, and significant adaptability.

Such dramatic differences in bioactivity necessitate the development of efficient enantioseparation technologies to ensure drug safety and efficacy. We have developed a novel biomimetic separation system employing molecularly imprinted hollow fiber membranes (MIMs) for the efficient resolution of racemic amlodipine. The molecular imprinting process involves polymerization in the presence of the target (<em>S</em>)-amlodipine template, creating cavities with tailored shape and functional groups that exhibit selective rebinding affinity. These membranes synergistically combine the high surface area and excellent mass transfer properties of hollow fiber substrates with the precise molecular recognition capabilities of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The MIP layer, functioning as artificial antibody mimics, was specifically designed to recognize and capture the target (<em>S</em>)-amlodipine enantiomer with high fidelity. The covalent/non-covalent interactions between the template and functional monomers during imprinting ensure optimal stereochemical complementarity for chiral discrimination. Remarkably, this system achieves exceptional chiral separation performance without requiring any external chiral selectors. The optimized MIMs demonstrate an outstanding separation factor (α) of 3.79 within a remarkably short processing time of just 5 min. This exceptional performance stems from the unique combination of the hollow fiber's convective flow characteristics and the MIP's selective binding sites, which together enable both high throughput and precise enantiomeric discrimination. The practical advantages of this technology extend beyond its separation performance. The membrane fabrication process is straightforward and reproducible, while the modular nature of hollow fiber systems allows for seamless scale-up to industrial production levels. These attributes position our MI-HFM technology as a transformative platform for the commercial-scale production of enantiopure pharmaceuticals, offering significant advantages over conventional separation methods in terms of both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The successful implementation of this approach could substantially improve the economic viability of single-enantiomer drug manufacturing while ensuring higher product purity. Looking forward, this technology platform shows considerable potential for adaptation to other chiral separation challenges in the pharmaceutical industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":391,"journal":{"name":"Microchemical Journal","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 114574"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653544","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}

This study proposed a new method for real-time monitoring of cardiovascular drugs that combines the surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection platform with a two-phase extraction strategy. First, silver nanoparticles were synthesized and modified with iodine ions, and calcium ions were further introduced to enhance the stability of the substrate and the Raman signal intensity. Subsequently, common interfering substances in plasma were removed by protein precipitation technology, and drug molecules were rapidly enriched by two-phase extraction to obtain a purer test sample. The experimental results showed that the method had good repeatability (RSD = 2.18 %), the minimum detection concentration of propranolol could reach 10 pg/mL, and the minimum detection limit of atropine was 500 pg/mL. In the SD rat model, the blood concentration of atropine reached a peak at about 2 h after oral administration. In addition, the animal model further demonstrated the ability of this method to accurately monitor the dynamic changes of blood drug concentrations.
