Novel dipyridile-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis, elemental analysis, high-angle X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. A novel nano-sorbent was used for rapid extraction, preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of lead(II) ions by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Various adsorption and desorption parameters were optimized during this study. The optimum conditions were pH 6.0; time of adsorption and desorption at 2 and 5 min, respectively; and a maximum capacity value of 192.6 ± 0.7 mg/g (0.93 mmol/g). The RSD and LOD of the method were 1.43% and 0.7 ng/mL, respectively. The LOQ was 2.4 ng/mL. Standard reference materials of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 1572 and NIST 1571 were used to verify the accuracy of this method. The sorbent allowed for the successful extraction and determination of low levels of Pb(II) ions in various samples of rice, baking powder, wheat, and other foodstuffs.

Dissolved Rare Earth Elements (REEs) concentrations have been widely used in geochemical studies due to their systematic changes in the environment, acting as tracers in various natural processes. In addition to the usefulness of naturally controlled chemical REE fractionations used in the ocean, the extraction and measurement procedures of seawater REEs using chelating resin and ICP-MS may also be subject to method-derived analytical fractionations, leading to potential misinterpretations. The bracketing standard and the Lu methods were compared to verify any fractionation or deviation associated with the analytical processes.

In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

This study presents a novel microspectrometer-integrated microfluidic system for real-time protein concentration monitoring. The device employs electrokinetic principles for efficient protein preconcentration in a PDMS and Nafion film channel. Using FITC-labeled BSA as a model protein, the system demonstrated a linear correlation between protein concentration and absorbance at 491 nm.

Rapid and sensitive detection of Epstein-Barr virus cell-free DNA (EBV cfDNA) is crucial for early diagnosis and monitoring of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but accessibility to screening is limited by complicated and costly conventional DNA isolation and purification approaches. Here, a fully integrated ion concentration polarization (ICP)-enriched and nanozyme-catalyzed lateral flow assay (ICP-cLFA) is developed, enabling total analysis of EBV cfDNA in whole blood samples, with DNA isolation, pre-concentration, and amplification performed on a microfluidic chip, consequently providing the signal readout within 75 min. Specifically, ICP preconcentration and amplification steps, together with target recognition catalyzed by a platinum-decorated mesoporous gold nanosphere (MGNS@Pt) nanozyme, result in an ultralow detection limit of 4 aM in standard cfDNA samples and 100 aM in whole blood from NPC-bearing rats.

Advancements in food technology have increased the need for thorough analysis to ensure food safety, quality, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has emerged as a powerful tool in food analysis due to its high separation efficiency, low sample consumption, and ability to handle complex matrices. However, challenges such as the use of volatile running buffers and maintaining the stability of the electrical circuit connecting the CE and MS systems have been addressed through advancements in interface designs, such as sheathless systems and optimized sheath-liquid compositions.
