Rapid and reliable quantification of urinary malondialdehyde by HILIC-MS/MS: A derivatization-free breakthrough approach.

Background: The development of fast analytical methods is crucial for the research, discovery, and confirmation of crucial biomarkers. Furthermore, the implementation of fast analytical strategies contributes to efficient and time-effective procedures. In this sense, analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) has become an important tool for understanding the role of oxidative stress in various diseases and for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions.

Potentiometric chip-based multipumping flow system for the simultaneous determination of fluoride, chloride, pH, and redox potential in water samples.

A simple potentiometric chip-based multipumping flow system (MPFS) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of fluoride, chloride, pH, and redox potential in water samples. The proposed system was developed by using a poly(methyl methacrylate) chip microfluidic-conductor using the advantages of flow techniques with potentiometric detection. For this purpose, an automatic system has been designed and built by optimizing the variables involved in the process, such as: pH, ionic strength, stirring and sample volume.
