Although the D-LA concentration is considerably lower than that of L-LA, a significant increase in D-LA concentration alone has been reported in some diseases. Quantifying LA enantiomers in human biofluids has the potential for disease diagnosis. Sweat has recently been recognized as a novel biological alternative to blood because it can be sampled non-invasively. Therefore, in this study, heart-cutting two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) using a highly sensitive fluorescence detection method was developed for the analysis of LA enantiomers in small amounts of human sweat. LA was derivatized with 4-nitro-7-piperazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-PZ) and separated from endogenous compounds using an octadecyl silica column in the first dimension. Subsequently, the NBD-PZ-LA peak was fractionated and enantiomerically separated in the second dimension on a chiral column. Sufficient linearities (R² > 0.999) were observed in the ranges of 1–100 and 10–1000 µM for NBD-PZ-D-LA and NBD-PZ-L-LA, respectively. The corresponding limits of quantification were 0.97 and 1.12 µM. The precision values were 1.04 %–12.03 %, and the accuracies were 85.6 %–100.4 %. The developed method was successfully applied to ∼5 µL of human sweat collected from five healthy subjects. The concentrations of D-LA and L-LA in sweat were 30.29 ± 20.18 µM and 23.69 ± 12.15 mM, respectively.

The cutaneous VOCs and semi-VOCs (SVOCs) of malaria-negative and -positive individuals, who visited two local clinics in the Vhembe district of Limpopo Province, South Africa, were extracted into wearable silicone rubber (polydimethyl siloxane [PDMS]) sampling bands adhered to the surface of the epidermis. After sampling of epidermal VOCs from participants the samplers were analysed by thermal desorption-comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (TD-GC × GC-TOFMS). Individual cutaneous VOCs and SVOCs profiles were constructed from these complex chromatographic profiles in order to identify potential signatures of <em>Plasmodium</em> infection. Fatty acid compounds associated with rancid malodour, and previously reported as mosquito attractants, were found at an overall greater abundance in chemical profiles of malaria-positive cases. A targeted analysis was performed for compounds previously reported to be associated with <em>Plasmodium</em> infection, viz., heptanal, (E)-2-octenal, 2-octanone, octanal, nonanal and (E)-2-decenal. The linearity (R<sup>2</sup>) range was 0.93–0.99 for a matrix matched (simulated cutaneous sampling) calibration range of 2.5–60 ng. Limits of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.4 pg (2-octanone) to 6.3 pg ((E)-2-octenal), whilst limits of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 1.4 pg to 21.1 pg.

The percentage relative standard deviations ( %RSDs; <em>n</em> = 2) ranged from < 1 % for 2-octanone, octanal and nonanal to 27.1 % for (E)-2-octenal. We found that this particular suite of compounds, previously reported as indicators of malaria, was in fact non-specific for <em>Plasmodium</em> infection when compared to control subjects with comorbidities. A previously unreported (in a malaria-infection context) compound, (E)-2-octen-1-ol, correlated with malaria-positive participants, but was also observed for two malaria-negative participants, which could indicate latent malaria. In chronic cases, <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> can occur in reservoirs outside of the bloodstream, and thus blood-based diagnostic tests can miss latent infection. A key advantage of the epidermal sampler over blood tests is that the former collects whole-body organic compounds, and is therefore not limited to blood-borne markers of infection.
