In Situ Pinpoint Photopolymerization of Phos-Tag Polyacrylamide Gel in Poly(dimethylsiloxane)/Glass Microchip for Specific Entrapment, Derivatization, and Separation of Phosphorylated Compounds.

ABSTRACT: An improved method for the online preconcentration, derivatization, and separation of phosphorylated compounds was developed based on the affinity of a Phos-tag acrylamide gel formed at the intersection of a polydimethylsiloxane/glass multichannel microfluidic chip toward these compounds. The acrylamide solution comprised Phos-tag acrylamide, acrylamide, and N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide, while 2,2'-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide] was used as a photocatalytic initiator. The Phos-tag acrylamide gel was formed around the channel crossing point via irradiation with a 365 nm LED laser. The phosphorylated peptides were specifically concentrated in the Phos-tag acrylamide gel by applying a voltage across the gel plug. After entrapment of the phosphorylated compounds in the Phos-ta
