The viscosity response behavior of bare nanopipettes based on ionic current rectification
In this paper, bare nanopipettes perfused with low-viscosity electrolyte solutions achieved ionic current rectification (ICR) response capabilities to solution viscosity, providing a simple method for fabricating nanopipette viscosity probes. The ICR phenomenon was investigated in four different viscosity configurations and the viscosity response mechanism of the nanopipette was explained by the effect of the electric double layer and electroosmotic flow on the conductivity of the nanopipettes’ tip. The viscosity response sensitivity was improved by optimizing influencing factors such as KCl concentration, pH, and nanopipette diameter. Data fitting showed that within the viscosity range from 0.91 mPa.s to 40.07 mPa.s, the rectification ratio of the nanopipettes has a good linear relationship with the solution viscosity (r = 0.04η - 0.02). Additionally, the bare nanopipettes exhibit good reversibility and selectivity in viscosity response and also demonstrate the potential for use in single-cell cytoplasmic viscosity detection. The viscosity response behavior of bare nanopipettes provides important insights for constructing cytoplasmic viscosity probes, which will expand the applications of nanopipettes in cytoplasmic detection.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
