We have developed a new method for a fast and precise analysis of circle-to-circle amplification (C2CA) product for specific gene detection by microchip electrophoresis. In this method, we have added a new enzymatic step to the C2CA reaction, which could be carried out isothermally at 37 degrees C. Compared to the original single-stranded DNA, the double-stranded DNA that is produced by this enzymatic reaction is more reliable for analysis by microchip electrophoresis. C2CA product was detected within 55 s with high reproducibility by this method which was successfully applied to the detection of 10-ng genomic DNA of the pathogenic bacteria Vibrio. cholerae within 110 s. Purification was found to be an indispensable step for the analysis of the C2CA product of genomic DNA samples.

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is gaining attention in the field of single-cell proteomics for its ultra-low-flow and high-resolution separation abilities. Even more sample-limited yet rich in biological information are phosphoproteomics experiments, as the phosphoproteome composes only a fraction of the whole cellular proteome. Rapid analysis, high sensitivity, and maximization of sample utilization are paramount for single-cell analysis.

Amino acids (AAs) have broad nutritional, therapeutic, and medical significance and thus are one of the most common active ingredients of nutritional supplements. Analytical strategies for determining AAs are high-priced and often limited to methods that require modification of AA polarity or incorporation of an aromatic moiety. The aim of this work was to develop a new method for the determination of L-arginine, L-ornithine, and L-lysine on low-cost microchip electrophoresis instrumentation conjugated with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection.

B-complex vitamins are essential micronutrients that maintaining health, and provide (individually/simultaneously) many important biological actions in organism. Therefore, sensitive, reliable analytical method to determine B-complex vitamins simultaneously in actual samples is significant. Conventional analytical methods for vitamins analysis are usually labor-intensive, time-consuming and mostly do not allow the simultaneous determination.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research on mRNA therapeutics has increased due to COVID-19, with applications in vaccination, cancer therapy, and immune modulation, but they face challenges like instability and degradation.
- Traditional agarose gel electrophoresis has been the standard for analyzing RNA, but newer methods, like those using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer, offer better quality assessment despite being more expensive and less accessible.
- The proposed full-lane quantification (FLQ) method integrates ImageJ with programming in Python and R to provide a quick and affordable way to evaluate mRNA degradation, yielding results comparable to those from more sophisticated systems.
