Here, three original reactive dyes (SES-Cl-red-195, SES-Cl-yellow-145, and SES-Cl-blue-194), their vinyl sulfone forms (VS-Cl-red-195, VS-Cl-yellow-145, and VS-Cl-blue-194), and complete hydrolyzed forms (HES-OH-red-195, HES-OH-yellow-145, and HES-OH-blue-194) could be baseline separated in our developed BGE comprised of 10.0 mol/L Na<sub>2</sub>B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, 15% (V/V) ACN at pH 8.50 that adjusted by 0.50 mol/L H<sub>3</sub>BO<sub>3</sub>.

The RSDs of peak area and migration time were in the ranges of 1.4–3.8% and 0.39–1.29%, which indicated the CE methods were reliable for studying different dye forms in complex dye baths, and for evaluating dyeing process quality. Thus, the percentage of dye-uptake in single and trichromatic combination dyes was calculated based on the concentration of the original and their vinyl sulfone and hydrolyzed forms, and the result was consistent with the traditional UV–Vis method.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141174273","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}

In most cases, MOFs are not used in their crystal form but as impregnated materials because the fine crystals result in high-pressure drops. One key characteristic of MOF-impregnated materials is the amount of MOF in the material. This is evaluated using the wet digestion method; however, it is limited to determining only the metal content. Moreover, some metal, denoted as free metal, will not react with ligands to form MOFs. Additionally, it is crucial to determine the ligand amount, which cannot be determined using wet digestion. In the present study, a two-step extraction method for copper (II) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC MOF) impregnated materials was developed to determine the MOF formed and free metals and ligands. Various solvents were applied to evaluate the extraction efficiencies. The results led to the selection of ethanol (EtOH) for extracting free Cu<sup>2+</sup> and BTC, while 0.3 M HNO<sub>3</sub> was chosen to extract MOF-formed Cu<sup>2+</sup> and BTC.

The median differences in the measured concentrations of TDI, total inorganic dissolved iodine (TII, the sum of iodide and iodate), and iodate between ICP-MS and VM were equivalent to 9.2, 13, and 14%, respectively. These differences were within the ranges that could be explained by the repeated-measurement precision of each measurement method for TDI, TII, and iodate. The difference for iodide was 19%, which was larger than the value based on the repeated-measurement precision for both methods. This is considered to be caused by the chemical instability and lower concentrations of iodide compared to other iodine species in seawater, in addition to the heterogeneity of natural samples.

LDI-TOF MS analysis revealed the mass signal of Am-tags on Ab/Am-tag@AuNPs, indicating the presence of target exosomes. Thus, the target signal was amplified by a large number of Am-tags, resulting in enhanced sensitivity. We optimized the protocol to prepare stable Ab/Am-tag@AuNPs, focusing on parameters such as the concentration and ratio of thiol molecules for AuNP functionalization, suitable solvents for the coupling reaction, and amount of antibodies conjugated to the AuNPs. Subsequently, we evaluated the ability of our method to detect exosomes isolated from three cell lines, NIH3T3, MCF7, and HeLa, using an anti-Rab5 immobilized gold chip and anti-CD63/Am-tag@AuNPs with LDI-TOF MS analysis.
