On-capillary ultraviolet photometric detection (UV-PD) in a multiwavelength mode provides comprehensive analytical information. However, achieving single-point multiwavelength UV-PD for capillary-scale instruments typically requires high-cost and complex devices. This study presents the development of a cost-effective, open-source absorbance detector for on-capillary multiwavelength detection.

We present a versatile TDA system with a flow-through sample injection device, two compact 3-in-1 detectors, and a high-voltage power supply. The 3D-printed detectors combine fluorimetry (FD), photometry (AD@255 nm), and contactless conductometry (CD) in a single head, enabling simultaneous detection at one capillary window.

However, the causal relationship between peripheral blood immune cells and PSC remains insufficiently understood.
Methods: A bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was implemented to determine the causal effect between PBC and 731 immune cells.
The growing demand for tailored detectors in capillary electrophoresis (CE), addressing tasks like field deployment or dual-detection analysis, emphasizes the necessity for compact detection cells. In this work, we propose cost-effective and user-friendly additive manufacturing (3D-printing) approaches to produce such miniaturized detection cells suitable for a range of CE applications. Firstly, capacitively-coupled contactless conductivity detection (CD) cells of different sizes are fabricated by casting low-melting-point alloy into 3D-printed molds.
