Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) is used in combination with copper labeling to visualize roteins on surfaces. Proteins are adsorbed on a poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) membrane and stained using a standard protocol involving copper salts. Th ...

Capillary zone electrophoresis and carrier ampholytes based capillary electrophoresis have been used as a second separation step to Off-Gel isoelectric focusing for the analysis of complex peptide mixtures. A tryptic digest of four proteins (bovine serum a ...

Contactless dye-sensitised nano-photoelectrodes assembled at polarisable liquid|liquid interfaces exhibit photocurrent responses originating from the heterogeneous photooxidation of ferrocene by the colloids. The photocurrent spectra of the nanoparticle assembly sensitised by alizarin indicate that the photoreaction is initiated by an ultrafast electron injection from the dye into the conduction band of the TiO2 particles, followed by heterogeneous electron transfer from ferrocene to the oxidised dye, as sh

A microchip electrospray emitter with a magnetic bead trap has been designed for solid phase extraction-gradient elution-mass spectrometry (SPE-GEMS). The goal of this method is the detection of analytes at low concentrations and it is here demonstrated us ...

Control over the physical properties of nanoparticle assemblies at a liquid–liquid interface is a key technological advancement to realize the dream of smart electrovariable nanosystems. Electrified interfaces, such as the interface between two immiscible ...

Molecular electrocatalysis for oxygen reduction at a polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was studied, involving aqueous protons, ferrocene (Fc) in DCE and amphiphilic cobalt porphyrin catalysts adsorbed at the interface. The catalyst, (2,8,1 ...

H-2 may be evolved biphasically using a polarised liquid|liquid interface, acting as a "proton pump", in combination with organic soluble metallocenes as electron donors. Sustainable H-2 production requires methodologies to recycle the oxidised donor. Here ...

Electrokinetic supercharging has been integrated in CZE for the development of a highly sensitive methodology for protein tryptic digest analysis. A careful choice of the experimental conditions led to sensitivity enhancement factors between 1000 and 10 00 ...

The improvement of silica particle codeposition into a nickel electrodeposited composite coating (ECC) by a double face horizontal impinging jet cell (IJC) has been studied. The microstructure of coatings was examined by means of scanning electron microsco ...

A specific multi-phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented to complement current phosphopeptide isolation strategies that normally bias mass spectrometry analysis towards the detection of mono-phosphopeptides. An adsorption model is developed that show ...

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), designed mainly for mobility applications, converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The formation of electrodes for PEMFC is a delicate balancing of transport media. Conductivity of gas, electrons, and prot ...

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has been used to image latent fingermarks enhanced by adsorption of gold nanoparticles onto which silver is chemically deposited, a process known as ‘‘multi-metal-deposition’’ (MMD). ...

This manuscript presents a push-pull electrochem. scanner able to image reactivity of initially dry surfaces by scanning electrochem. microscopy (SECM) and to probe mols. present or generated at the surface by mass spectrometry (MS). The proof-of-concept i ...

The redox properties of a monolayer of alkanethiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs) constructed on a gold slide electrode was studied in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) electrolyte solutions. The influence of the electrostatic interaction between attached MP ...

The electrochemical oxidation and reduction of decamethylferrocene is demonstrated in supercritical carbon dioxide at a macro gold disc electrode at 100 bar and 313 K. Fast mass transport effects were exhibited and the corresponding steady-state voltammetr ...

An on-plate specific enrichment method is presented for the direct analysis of peptides phosphorylation. An array of sintered TiO2 nanoparticle spots was prepared on a stainless steel plate to provide porous substrate with a very large specific surface and ...

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are among the most investigated technologies for large scale energy storage applications. Since the first commercialization of all-vanadium RFB (in the early 90’s), the technology has evolved towards the development of new syste ...

This work addresses two ways of loading proteins on microchannel surfaces for immunoassay applications: the “stop-flow” and the continuous flow processes. The “stop-flow” method consists of successive static incubation periods where the bulk solution deple ...
