Microfluidic devices have shown great potential for the production of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers, but most devices have focused only on the synthesis step of the procedure, typically neglecting the other important steps such as [(18)F]fluoride pre-concentration and radiotracer purification that could equally benefit from miniaturisation. Here, we demonstrate the development of microfluidic modules for the purification of PET radiotracers, particularly 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([(18)F]FDG), via the use of on-chip solid-phase extraction (SPE). In these initial tests, the SPE modules were able to yield [(18)F]FDG with up to 90% radiochemical purity, and methods are proposed for further increasing this value.

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.

Microfluidic-based nucleic acid testing (NAT) has been proven as an alternative approach for in-situ and rapid NA detection. However, these on-chip methods still require complex peripherals, which contradict the purpose of point-of-care (POC) applications. One of the major challenges is the integration of NA purification and amplification in a miniaturized setup with high mass and heat transfer efficiency.

To meet the needs of developing efficient extractive materials alongside the evolution of miniaturized sorbent-based sample preparation techniques, a mesoporous structure of g-CN doped with sulfur as a heteroatom was achieved utilizing a bubble template approach while avoiding the severe conditions of other methods. In an effort to increase the number of adsorption sites, the resultant exfoliated structure was then modified with thymol-coumarin NADES as a natural sorbent modifier, followed by introduction into a nylon 6 polymer via an electrospinning process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis validated S-doped g-CN and composite production.

As organoids and organ-on-chip (OoC) systems move toward preclinical and clinical applications, there is an increased need for method validation. Using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based approach, we developed a method for measuring small-molecule drugs and metabolites in the cell medium directly sampled from liver organoids/OoC systems. The LC-MS setup was coupled to an automatic filtration and filter flush system with online solid-phase extraction (SPE), allowing for robust and automated sample cleanup/analysis.

Point of care testing (POCT) of nucleic acids holds significant importance in the realm of infectious disease prevention and control, as well as the advancement of personalized precision medicine. Nevertheless, conventional nucleic acid testing methods continue to face challenges such as prolonged detection times and dependence on extensive specialized equipment and personnel, rendering them unsuitable for point of care applications. Here, we proposed an innovative active centrifugal microfluidic system (ACMS) for automatic nucleic acid extraction, encompassing modules for active valve control and magnetic control.
