Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is adequate for examination of soft and hard tissues with large amount of water non-destructively and non-invasively. We measured tablets containing CS and COL using NIR spectroscopy to develop an evaluation method for PGs in cartilage non-destructively and non-invasively. Calibration curves were constructed using the NIR spectra of the tablets that show the quantitative linear relationship between the concentration and height of the second derivative at 4260 cm-1 for COL and at 5800 cm-1 for COL and CS. An equation to calculate the CS-to-COL ratio was derived from the calibrated slopes at 5800 and 4260 cm-1, and the utility of the equation was demonstrated by the evaluation of tablets. Moreover, we conducted an evaluation of the CS-to-COL ratio in the aqueous nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus, and the results were consistent with the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)-to-COL ratios obtained through Raman spectroscopy of the same specimens. Thus, this method is adequate for evaluating PGs with large amount of water non-destructively, non-invasively and with less damage.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143031782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A smartphone camera was used to capture the image of the analyte extract located in a custom-made colorimetric box.

The distance between the cuvette containing the analyte extract and the detection camera was determined to be 8 cm, while the brightness of the light source was 30%. All the images were obtained at 585 nm monochromatic light positioned as a background source. The extraction was achieved with 450 µL of a 1:4 choline-chloride to phenol mole ratio within 60 s and another minute of centrifugation. The limits of detection and quantification were found to be 0.02 and 0.06 µg mL-1, respectively. The method linearity, as indicated by the relative coefficient, was greater than 0.9955 and the relative standard deviations were below 5.4%. Lastly, the application of chemometrics in the form of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models and hybrid machine learning methodologies has been incorporated with SDIC for the quantitative simulation of SDIC parameters.

Its level in the human body is closely linked to human health, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. The supplementation of exogenous GSH could bring health benefits and GSH detection in food is of considerable importance. However, the existing assays for GSH detection such as high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, electrochemiluminescence and fluorescent nanoprobe were not satisfactory because of the disadvantages of equipment and site requirements. In this study, a multiple-colorimetric detection assay for GSH was developed based on GSH's reaction with gold nanorods. During the reaction with varying concentrations of GSH, the gold nanorods degraded into spherical nanoparticles with multiple color changes, which could be used to determine GSH concentrations. The transverse surface plasmon resonance absorption peak of gold nanorods (AuNRs) significantly shifted, indicating a novel mechanism distinct from etching or surface coating, which typically altered the longitudinal surface plasmon absorption peak. Under optimized conditions, the assay exhibited commendable specificity and reliability in actual samples. The assay accurately quantified GSH ranging from 1 to 10 µM, with detection limits of 439 nM and 260 nM for spectrophotometry and visual analysis, respectively. It was firstly to use GSH as a reducing agent to react with AuNRs in the presence of AgNO3 and the mechanism was different from etching or surface coating. The study's assay shows potential for detecting GSH in food samples and provides an alternative approach for the development of colorimetric detection assays based on AuNRs.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review highlights our recent efforts on the development of triplex-forming peptide nucleic acid (TFP)-based probes for fluorescence sensing of dsRNA structures. We demonstrated that the forced intercalation of asymmetric cyanine dyes integrated as base surrogate within the probes was useful for achieving significant light-up response toward target dsRNAs. We also showed that the TFP probes conjugated with small RNA-binding molecules facilitated the fluorescence sensing of biologic relevant dsRNAs containing unpaired nucleobases. The binding and fluorescence signaling functions of such probes were discussed, emphasizing their potential as analytical tools for studying dsRNA structures.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-channel flow system of feedback-based flow ratiometry, primarily consisting of two peristaltic pumps, a digital microscope-based detector, and a laptop computer, was constructed; a Visual Basic.NET program written in-house was used for automating the analytical processes. While maintaining the total flow rate (FT) constant, a titrand solution was merged with a titrant solution, both containing the same concentration of Van Urk's universal indicator, under varying flow ratios. Downstream, the video image was captured with a digital microscope and its color was expressed as RGB values, hue, and luminance. The end point was determined from the rapid change of hue reflecting the color transition of the universal indicator around the equivalence point. A stepwise titration of multivalent acid (i.e., H3PO4) was also possible by setting hue values corresponding to the first (1st) and second (2nd) equivalence points as criteria to determine the respective end points. The hue-based approach was validated by the titrations of CH3COOH and H3PO4 (1st and 2nd equivalence points) with 0.1 mol dm-3 NaOH and to those of NaOH and NH3 with 0.1 mol dm-3 HCl. The method was applied to determine Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) borax and JP citric acid. The respective assay results were 100.0 ± 0.0% and 100.0 ± 0.0%, both meeting the JP specifications. The developed method is simple, high throughput (1 titration/min), versatile, and does not require indicator replace depending on the equivalence point pH.","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the keys to successfully characterizing liquid gold, which is a complex mixture, is to distinguish Au-containing products from other chemicals. In this paper, we propose a separation based on the difference in collision cross section, of which chemicals with heavy atoms are relatively smaller than those without in ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS). Chemicals containing a single Au atom (and Pt atom) were successfully separated from other species in the two-dimensional distribution map for IM-MS. By a detailed analysis of the spectra obtained by IM-MS/MS with collision-induced dissociation before and after IM separation, we found that liquid gold (gold resinate) was a mixture of a series of (1) Au reacted with α-pinene-related units and (2) Au reacted with abietic acid units. α-Pinene and abietic acid are the main components of turpentine and rosin, the raw materials of liquid gold as reported previously (Anal. Sci. 2024, 40, 133-139). All Au-containing species contain sulfur atoms.

A magnetic beads-based SELEX process combined with qPCR was used to select aptamers over seven rounds. The enriched ssDNA library was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing to identify candidate sequences, and these sequences were characterized using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and binding assays to evaluate their affinity and specificity. The selected ssDNA aptamer demonstrated a dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) of 0.41 nM and a very slow off-rate, enabling effective capture of TIMP-1 in serum samples. Furthermore, a chemiluminescent aptasensor was developed for TIMP-1 detection, which exhibited high specificity and a broad linear detection range from 1 to 500 ng/mL in human serum.
