Electromembrane extraction of peptides based on charge, hydrophobicity, and size - A large-scale fundamental study of the extraction window.

This study investigated the capability of electromembrane extraction (EME) as a general technique for peptides, by extracting complex pools of peptides comprising in total of 5953 different substances, varying in size from seven to 16 amino acids. Electromembrane extraction was conducted from a sample adjusted to pH 3.0 and utilized a liquid membrane consisting of 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether and carvacrol (1:1 w/w), containing 2% (w/w) di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate.

Parallel electromembrane extraction of peptides with monoterpene and medium-length fatty acid deep eutectic solvents.

Background: Electromembrane extraction (EME) involves the process of mass transfer of charged analytes from an aqueous sample through an organic liquid membrane into an aqueous acceptor medium under the influence of an electrical field. Successful solvation of the analyte within the liquid membrane is of paramount importance and involves molecular interactions with the liquid membrane. In this comprehensive investigation, parallel EME was examined using a training set of 13 model peptides employing deep eutectic solvents as the liquid membrane.

Electromembrane extraction of peptides using deep eutectic solvents as liquid membrane.

For the first time, we report electromembrane extraction (EME) of peptides using deep eutectic solvent (DES) as supported liquid membrane (SLM). DES were mixtures of coumarin, camphor, DL-menthol and thymol. Sixteen model peptides were extracted from 100 μL 50 mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 3.

Electromembrane extraction of peptides and amino acids - status and perspectives.

This article reviews the scientific literature on electromembrane extraction (EME) of peptides and amino acids. In EME, target analytes are extracted from aqueous sample, through a supported liquid membrane (organic) and into a microliter volume of aqueous buffer (acceptor). Experimental conditions and performance for EME of peptides and amino acids are reviewed and discussed in detail, providing readers with an overview and basic understanding of the subject.

Direct coupling of electromembrane extraction to mass spectrometry - Advancing the probe functionality toward measurements of zwitterionic drug metabolites.

A triple-flow electromembrane extraction (EME) probe was developed and coupled directly to electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Metabolic reaction mixtures (pH 7.4) containing drug substances and related metabolites were continuously drawn (20 μL/min) into the EME probe in one flow channel, and mixed inside the probe with 7.
