A novel method has been developed by integration of multi-concentration and two-dimensional(2D) capillary electrophoresis(CE) for simultaneous enhancement of detection sensitivity and separation power in complex samples.Capillary zone electrophoresis(CZE) was used as the first dimension separation according to mobilities,from which the effluent fractions were further analyzed by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography(MEKC) acting as the second dimension.Cation-selective exhaustive injection(CSEI) preconcentration method was used to introduce more analytes into the capillary.Furthermore,pH junction and sweeping dual concentration strategies were employed to avoid sample zone diffusion at the interface.The resulting electrophoregram was quite different from that of either CZE or MEKC separation.Up to(0.5-1.2) ×104 fold improvements in sensitivity were obtained relative to the conventional electrokinetic injection method.The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of drugs in human urine.
A novel strategy for efficient immobilization of electroactive Thionine(Th)on the gold(Au)electrode surface based on calcium carbonate-gold nanoparticles(CaCO3-AuNPs)inorganic hybrid composite was proposed and conducted by the strong electrostatic interaction between positively charged Th and negatively charged CaCO3-AuNPs composite.The hybrid composite was obtained by the adsorption of AuNPs onto the surface of CaCO3 microspheres through electrostatic interaction.Due to the microporous architecture,large surface area,and good biocompatibility of CaCO3-AuNPs composite,the amount and stability of the immobilized Th were highly strengthened.The application of the resulting Th modified electrode in the hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)sensor was also investigated.It exhibited rapid response to H2O2 within 3 s.The linear calibration ranged from 8.00×107to 1.06×10 -3mol/L with a detection limit of 2.00×10 -7mol/L.
