A method is described for selective fluorescent staining of polysaccharide bodies, such as those found in Alzheimer's disease, Lafora's disease and adult polyglucosan disease. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections of human autopsied brain tissue were stained with the fluorescent compound dansyl hydrazine. It specifically stained polysaccharide bodies in tissue sections with great sensitivity and little background. The dansyl hydrazine staining technique also reveals a high degree of structural detail in the stained tissues.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), such as heparan sulfate (HS), play essential roles in living organisms. Understanding the functionality of HS and its involvement in disease progression necessitates the sensitive and quantitative detection of HS-derived unsaturated disaccharides. Conventionally, fluorescence derivatization precedes the HPLC analysis of these disaccharides.

Fatty acids (FAs) play a vital physiological role in lipid metabolism, which is reported as potential diagnostic biomarker for various diseases. Thus, it is urgent to develop a credible method that can profile FA metabolism with a holistic view. Here, a targeted strategy to screen FAs was developed by parallel labeling with d/d-dansylhydrazine (d/d-DnsHz) and using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) in data-dependent MS/MS (ddMS) mode.

The current work is the first study on online coupling of matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) to direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) bridging with solid-phase analytical derivatization (SPAD) based on a graphene oxide nanosheets (GONs)-coated cotton swab. Proof-of-concept demonstrations were explored for high-throughput analysis of a diversity of regulated chemicals in consumer products such as textiles, toys, and cosmetics. On-demand sorbent combinations were blended with samples, packed into MSPD columns, and mounted on a homemade 3D-printed rack module for automated sample feeding.

On the basis of findings that cultured rat hepatocytes secrete lipoprotein with a high plasmalogen content and the occurrence of this lipid in human serum, it has been suggested that hepatocytes play a role in the supply of plasmalogens to tissues. We tested this hypothesis in a mouse with a hepatocyte-specific defect in peroxisomes, an organelle essentially required for plasmalogen biosynthesis. We analyzed plasmalogens in lipid extracts of forebrain, liver and five further tissues and in plasma by reaction with dansylhydrazine in hydrochloric acid, which cleaves the vinyl ether of plasmalogens and forms a fluorescent dansylhydrazone, which we quantified by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography.
