Software is available, which simulates all basic electrophoretic systems, including moving boundary electrophoresis, zone electrophoresis, ITP, IEF and EKC, and their combinations under almost exactly the same conditions used in the laboratory. These dynamic models are based upon equations derived from the transport concepts such as electromigration, diffusion, electroosmosis and imposed hydrodynamic buffer flow that are applied to user-specified initial distributions of analytes and electrolytes. They are able to predict the evolution of electrolyte systems together with associated properties such as pH and conductivity profiles and are as such the most versatile tool to explore the fundamentals of electrokinetic separations and analyses. In addition to revealing the detailed mechanisms of fundamental phenomena that occur in electrophoretic separations, dynamic simulations are useful for educational purposes. This review includes a list of current high-resolution simulators, information on how a simulation is performed, simulation examples for zone electrophoresis, ITP, IEF and EKC and a comprehensive discussion of the applications and achievements.

A dysregulated metabolism has been studied as a key aspect of the COVID-19 pathophysiology, but its longitudinal progression in severe cases remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate metabolic dysregulation over time in patients with severe COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation (MV). In this single-center, prospective, observational study, we obtained 236 serum samples from 118 adult patients on MV in an ICU.

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.

Here we report the outcome of a collaborative study aimed at demonstrating the suitability of the candidate Chemical Reference Substance (CRS) as a replacement reference (batch 2) for the physicochemical methods in European Pharmacopoeia monograph . Results from the study demonstrated that for the physicochemical methods described in the monograph - capillary zone electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, peptide mapping and glycan mapping - the candidate CRS is essentially identical to CRS batch 1 and is suitable to be established as Erythropoietin for physicochemical tests CRS batch 2. CRS batch 2 is a freeze-dried preparation presented in vials.

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the lung is an indolent B-cell lymphoma. The peripheral blood of most patients with pulmonary MZL contains low or undetectable monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein) levels. In this case, the clinical laboratory discovered that the pulmonary MZL patient not only associated with high concentration of monoclonal IgG-type protein but also exhibited obvious gel formation characteristics that interfered with clinical biochemistry tests.
