Array Microcell Method (AMCM) for Serial Electroanalysis.

ABSTRACT: We describe a method for electrochemical measurement and synthesis based on the combination of a mobile micropipette and a microelectrode array, which we term the array microcell method (AMCM). AMCM has the ability to address single electrodes within a microelectrode array (MEA) and provides a simple, low-cost format to enable versatile electrochemical measurements. In AMCM, a droplet at the tip of a movable micropipette (inner diameter of 50 μm) functions as an electrochemical cell, in which the electrode area is defined by a microelectrode of the array. We also report carbon MEAs that are well suited for AMCM and are fabricated from pyrolyzed photoresist films (PPFs). PPF-MEAs with nominal electrode diameters of 5.5 μm are characterized by AMCM, standard macroscale electrochemical methods, and finite element modeling. The versatility of AMCM is demonstrated by measurement of single Pt microparticles and by electrodeposition of shapecontrolled Pt nanoparticles.

Post-refinement method for snapshot serial crystallography.

Project description:A post-refinement procedure has been devised for 'snapshot' diffraction data consisting entirely of partially recorded reflections, each diffraction pattern from a crystal in an orientation unrelated to the others. Initial estimates of the diffraction geometry are used to calculate initial partialities, which are then used to scale the entire dataset together to produce initial estimates of the fully integrated intensities. The geometrical parameters for each pattern are then refined to maximize the agreement between these estimates and the calculated intensities in each pattern, and the procedure repeated iteratively. The performance of the procedure was investigated using simulated data and found to yield a significant improvement in the data quality.

Silica Nanochannel Array Film Supported by <i>ß</i>-Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Graphene Modified Gold Film Electrode for Sensitive and Direct Electroanalysis of Acetaminophen.

Project description:Convenient and sensitive detection of active analytes in complex matrix is crucial in biological, medical, and environmental analysis. Silica nanochannel array film (SNF) equipped electrochemical sensors have shown excellent anti-fouling performance in direct analysis of complex samples. In this work, we demonstrated an electrochemical sensor with anti-fouling performance for highly sensitive detection of acetaminophen (APAP) based on SNF supported by ß-cyclodextrin-graphene (CDG) nanocomposite modified Au film electrode (AuF). Because of their rich surface hydroxyls and 2D lamellar structure, CDG on AuF can serve as the nanoadhesive for compact binding SNF, which can be grown by electrochemical assisted self-assembly method in a few seconds. Attributable to the electrocatalytic property of graphene and the synergistic enrichment from both CD and SNF nanochannels towards analyte, the SNF/CDG/AuF sensor demonstrates sensitive detection of acetaminophen ranged from 0.2 to 50 μM with an ultralow limit-of-detection of 14 nM. Taking advantage of the anti-fouling ability of SNF, the sensor is able to realize accurate and convenient analysis of APAP in commercially available paracetamol tablets.

Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer between non-identical human iPSCs.

Project description:Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) is anticipated as a unique strategy to manipulate numbers of chromosomes, including the generation of hyperaneuploidy syndrome models with human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Mouse A9/Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell libraries of human monochromosomal hybrids as chromosome donor cells frequently exhibit chromosomal rearrangement in the components. The generation of a new A9/CHO library is time-consuming and laborious. Here, we developed an MMCT method using hiPSCs as chromosome donor and recipient cells, through micronucleation using paclitaxel and reversine. Membrane fusion during the MMCT was mediated through interactions between the ecotropic viral envelope transiently expressed in chromosome donor cells and mCAT-1 in chromosome recipient cells. This approach involved tagging Chr21 and ChrY by CRISPR-Cas9 and transferring human/mouse artificial chromosomes, Chr21, ChrX, and ChrY, wherein there are no previous reports demonstrating a full-length introduction. Thus, a strategy that combing CRISPR-Cas9-mediated chromosome tagging and MMCT from hiPSCs as chromosome donor cells to hiPSCs as recipient cells systematically produced isogenic disease model hiPSCs with hyperaneuploidy. This approach allows the study of rare diseases and promises to provide new insights into early developmental mechanisms by introducing a comprehensive set of influential chromosomes/regions into hiPSCs.

Triple-Barrel Ultramicroelectrodes for Multipurpose, Submilliliter Electroanalysis.

Project description:Here, we have developed and applied a triple-barrel microelectrode. This device incorporates a platinum disk working electrode, a platinum disk counter electrode, and a low-leakage Ag/AgCl reference electrode into a small probe. We demonstrate that the incorporated low-leakage reference electrode shows similar voltammetry, potentiometry, and drift when compared to a commercial reference electrode in bulk solution. We also demonstrate the versatility of such a small three-channel system via voltammetry in nanoliter droplets and through electroanalysis of captured aerosols. Finally, we demonstrate the probe's potential utility in single-cell electroanalysis by making measurements within salmon eggs.

Development of superluminal pulse propagation in a serial array of high-Q ring resonators.

Project description:We experimentally examined the development of superluminal pulse propagation through a serial array of high-Q ring resonators that provides a dynamic recurrent loop. As the propagation distance, i.e., the number of ring resonators that the pulses passed through increased, the pulse advancement increased linearly, largely maintaining its Gaussian shape. The sharp edge encoded at the front of the pulse was, however, neither advanced nor delayed, in good accordance with the idea that information propagates at the speed of light. We also carried out a numerical simulation on the superluminal to subluminal transition of the pulse velocity, which appeared after the pulse had propagated a long distance. The time delays, which we calculated using the saddle point method and based on the net delay, were in good agreement with our results, even when predictions based on the traditional group delay failed completely. This demonstrates the superluminal to subluminal transition of the propagation velocity.

Moving toward a higher efficiency of microcell-mediated chromosome transfer.

Project description:Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) technology enables individual mammalian chromosomes, megabase-sized chromosome fragments, or mammalian artificial chromosomes that include human artificial chromosomes (HACs) and mouse artificial chromosomes (MACs) to be transferred from donor to recipient cells. In the past few decades, MMCT has been applied to various studies, including mapping the genes, analysis of chromosome status such as aneuploidy and epigenetics. Recently, MMCT was applied to transfer MACs/HACs carrying entire chromosomal copies of genes for genes function studies and has potential for regenerative medicine. However, a safe and efficient MMCT technique remains an important challenge. The original MMCT protocol includes treatment of donor cells by Colcemid to induce micronucleation, where each chromosome becomes surrounded with a nuclear membrane, followed by disarrangement of the actin cytoskeleton using Cytochalasin B to help induce microcells formation. In this study, we modified the protocol and demonstrated that replacing Colcemid and Cytochalasin B with TN-16 + Griseofulvin and Latrunculin B in combination with a Collage/Laminin surface coating increases the efficiency of HAC transfer to recipient cells by almost sixfold and is possibly less damaging to HAC than the standard MMCT method. We tested the improved MMCT protocol on four recipient cell lines, including human mesenchymal stem cells and mouse embryonic stem cells that could facilitate the cell engineering by HACs.

An array-based method to identify multivalent inhibitors.

Project description:Carbohydrate-protein interactions play a critical role in a variety of biological processes, and agonists/antagonists of these interactions are useful as biological probes and therapeutic agents. Most carbohydrate-binding proteins achieve tight binding through formation of a multivalent complex. Therefore, both ligand structure and presentation contribute to recognition. Since there are many potential combinations of structure, spacing, and orientation to consider and the optimal one cannot be predicted, high-throughput approaches for analyzing carbohydrate-protein interactions and designing inhibitors are appealing. In this report, we develop a strategy to vary neoglycoprotein density on a surface of a glycan array. This feature of presentation was combined with variations in glycan structure and glycan density to produce an array with approximately 600 combinations of glycan structure and presentation. The unique array platform allows one to distinguish between different types of multivalent complexes on the array surface. To illustrate the advantages of this format, it was used to rapidly identify multivalent probes for various lectins. The new array was first tested with several plant lectins, including concanavalin A (conA), Vicia villosa isolectin B4 (VVL-B(4)), and Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA120). Next, it was used to rapidly identify potent multivalent inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin I (PA-IL), a key protein involved in opportunistic infections of P. aeruginosa , and mouse macrophage galactose-type lectin (mMGL-2), a protein expressed on antigen presenting cells that may be useful as a vaccine targeting receptor. An advantage of the approach is that structural information about the lectin/receptor is not required to obtain a multivalent inhibitor/probe.

Glucose Incorporated Graphite Matrix for Electroanalysis of Trimethoprim.

Project description:The antibiotic drug trimethoprim (TMP) is used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals, and frequently TMP is used along with sulfonamides. However, a large portion of TMP is excreted in its active state, which poses a severe problem to humans and the environment. A sensitive, rapid, cost-effective analytical tool is required to monitor the TMP concentration in biological and environmental samples. Hence, this study proposed an analytical methodology to analyze TMP in clinical, biological and environmental samples. The investigations were carried out using a glucose-modified carbon paste electrode (G-CPE) employing voltammetric techniques. Electrochemical behavior was examined with 0.5 mM TMP solution at optimum pH 3.4 (Phosphate Buffer Solution, I = 0.2 M). The influence of scan rate on the electro-oxidation of TMP was studied within the range of 0.05 to 0.55 V/s. The effect of pH and scan rate variations revealed proton transfer during oxidation. Moreover, diffusion phenomena governed the irreversibility of the electrode reaction. A probable and suitable electrode interaction and reaction mechanism was proposed for the electrochemical oxidation of TMP. Further, the TMP was quantitatively estimated with the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique in the concentration range from 9.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-4 M. The tablet, spiked water and urine analysis demonstrated that the selected method and developed electrode were rapid, simple, sensitive, and cost-effective.

Thiahelicene-based inherently chiral films for enantioselective electroanalysis.

Project description:Chiral electroanalysis could be regarded as the highest recognition degree in electrochemical sensing, implying the ability to discriminate between specular images of an electroactive molecule, particularly in terms of significant peak potential difference. A groundbreaking strategy was recently proposed, based on the use of "inherently chiral" molecular selectors, with chirality and key functional properties originating from the same structural element. Large differences in peak potentials have been observed for the enantiomers of different chiral molecules, also of applicative interest, using different selectors, all of them based on atropisomeric biheteroaromatic scaffolds of axial stereogenicity. However, helicene systems also provide inherently chiral building blocks with attractive features. In this paper the enantiodiscrimination performances of enantiopure inherently chiral films obtained by electrooxidation of a thiahelicene monomer with helicoidal stereogenicity are presented for the first time. The outstanding potentialities of this novel approach are evaluated towards chiral probes with different chemical nature and bulkiness, in comparison with a representative case of the so far exploited class of inherently chiral selectors with axial stereogenicity. It is also verified that the high enantiodiscrimination ability holds as well for electron spins, as for atropisomeric selectors.

A workflow for streamlined acquisition and correlation of serial regions of interest in array tomography.

Project description:BackgroundArray tomography (AT) is a high-resolution imaging method to resolve fine details at the organelle level and has the advantage that it can provide 3D volumes to show the tissue context. AT can be carried out in a correlative way, combing light and electron microscopy (LM, EM) techniques. However, the correlation between modalities can be a challenge and delineating specific regions of interest in consecutive sections can be time-consuming. Integrated light and electron microscopes (iLEMs) offer the possibility to provide well-correlated images and may pose an ideal solution for correlative AT. Here, we report a workflow to automate navigation between regions of interest.ResultsWe use a targeted approach that allows imaging specific tissue features, like organelles, cell processes, and nuclei at different scales to enable fast, directly correlated in situ AT using an integrated light and electron microscope (iLEM-AT). Our workflow is based on the detection of section boundaries on an initial transmitted light acquisition that serves as a reference space to compensate for changes in shape between sections, and we apply a stepwise refinement of localizations as the magnification increases from LM to EM. With minimal user interaction, this enables autonomous and speedy acquisition of regions containing cells and cellular organelles of interest correlated across different magnifications for LM and EM modalities, providing a more efficient way to obtain 3D images. We provide a proof of concept of our approach and the developed software tools using both Golgi neuronal impregnation staining and fluorescently labeled protein condensates in cells.ConclusionsOur method facilitates tracing and reconstructing cellular structures over multiple sections, is targeted at high resolution ILEMs, and can be integrated into existing devices, both commercial and custom-built systems.
