Abstract
Pressure-assisted electrokinetic injection (PAEKI) was applied for stacking of positively charged biogenic amines (BAs) to improve the sensitivity of capillary electrophoresis (CE). It is well known that the essential step for PAEKI is finding a stationary state of the running buffer such that the movement of the running buffer due to electroosmotic flow (EOF) is counterbalanced by external pressure in the opposite direction of the EOF under a given electric field. In order to find the balance point systematically and integrally, we studied the velocity of the whole BGE in the capillary by the impetus of opposite direction pressure (-0.1 to -0.6 psi), and the velocity of EOF with different voltages. According to the two sets of linear data, the EOF of CE coupled with PAEKI could be counterbalanced at the opposite direction pressure (-0.1 psi) and voltage (7.8 kV). In this study, the injection time was extended up to 0.35 min for all BAs and 0.70 min for the direct ultraviolet (UV) detection of BAs. Compared with hydrodynamic injection (HDI), the enrichment factors for sample injection times of 0.35 min and 0.70 min were 480-fold and 970-fold, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) (S/N = 3) of indirect and direct UV detection were respectively 8.7-24.3 nmol L-1 and 0.4-4.5 nmol L-1, which reaches the sensitivity of high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (HPLC-MS). With appropriate sample dilution, PAEKI can be used in the analysis of BAs in chicken.

Abstract
AbstractBiological thiol amino acids have been suggested as biomarkers for pathological changes because they are reactive chemicals that participate in various physiological processes. In this study, multisegmented injection capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry with online sample preconcentration was used for analysis of thiol amino acids and intermediates of sulfur metabolism in human glioma cell line U-251 with high accuracy, throughput, and sensitivity. This was achieved using multiple, large-volume injections for online sample preconcentration. The 16 intermediates of sulfur metabolism had a good linear correlation coefficient range of 0.984–1 and the limit of detection range was 1.4–203.9 ng/mL. The recovery ranges of most amino acids were 88.1–114.5%, 89.0–104.3%, and 76.9–104.5% at 0.3, 0.75, and 1.5 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation ranges for the inter- and intra-day precision were 1.8–10.7% and 4.3–18.8%, respectively. Compared with the traditional injection method, the analytical time for compounds in sulfur metabolism was reduced to 4 min/sample, the method throughput was enhanced five times, and the sensitivity was increased 14.4–33.1 times. Customized injection sequences were applied in experimental optimization. The developed method simplified the experimental optimization to one injection and is suitable for the analysis of sulfur metabolites in biological samples and has high sensitivity, throughput, speed, and accuracy.

Abstract
Offline dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with online pressure-assisted electrokinetic injection was developed to simultaneously enrich seven phenolic compounds in water samples, followed by determination using capillary electrophoresis, namely phenol, 4-chlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and 2,6-dichlorophenol. Several parameters affecting separation performance of capillary electrophoresis and the enrichment efficiency of pressure-assisted electrokinetic injection and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction were systematically investigated. Under the optimal conditions, seven phenolic compounds were completely separated within 14 min and good enrichment factors were obtained of 61, 236, 3705, 3288, 920, 86, and 1807 for phenol, 4-chlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and 2,6-dichlorophenol, respectively. Good linearity was attained in the range of 0.1-200 μg/L for 2,4-dichlorophenol, 0.5-200 μg/L for 4-chlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and 2,6-dichlorophenol, as well as 1-200 μg/L for phenol, with correlation coefficients (r) over 0.9905. The limits of detection and quantification ranging from 0.03-0.28 and 0.07-0.94 μg/L were attained. This two step enrichment method was potentially applicable for the rapid and simultaneous determination of phenolic compounds in water samples.

Abstract
A method based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) with electrophoretic injection and absorbance detection was developed for the direct analysis of AGP glycoforms in human serum. Electrophoretic injection of AGP was performed in the reversed-polarity mode of CE with a capillary coated with poly(ethylene oxide) and that had minimal electroosmotic flow. This situation created an essentially stationary interface between the sample and running buffer during injection and sample stacking. This approach allowed an 11,000-fold increase in sample loading for a 5min injection versus hydrodynamic injection and without introducing any significant levels of extra band-broadening. This method was used with sample pretreatment methods based on acid precipitation and desalting to examine AGP glycoforms in only 65μL of serum. A limit of detection of 2.1-11.3nM was obtained for the major AGP glycoform bands in serum, and the sample pretreatment method gave a recovery of 72.3-80.9% for these glycoforms. The precision for the migration times was ±0.08-0.13% and the precision for the peak areas was ±0.34-1.18% when using serum samples and an internal standard. This method was used for both normal pooled serum and serum from individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus. Results were obtained in a separation time of 25min and allowed the comparison of up to eleven glycoform bands in these samples. A similar approach may be useful in examining additional glycoproteins in serum or other types of biological samples.

Abstract
A preconcentration method for anions is presented, which relies on a trap created by applying an electric field against a hydrodynamic flow of the sample. The trapping zone is created in front of a cation exchange membrane that allows the isolation of the electrode and thus prevents any interference by electrolysis products. Preconcentration factors of up to 20 were demonstrated for nitrate and formate as model analyte ions and were linearly related to the sample volume passed through the trap. A discrimination between the ions was found possible by adjustment of the hydrodynamic flow velocity. The method was also found to be suitable for the preconcentration of an anion (nitrate at 100 μM) in presence of a second anion at a very high concentration (50 mM formate). The detection limits for the four anions chloride, nitrate, perchlorate, and formate could be lowered from 4, 4.3, 4.2, and 7.2 μM obtained without trapping respectively to 127, 142, 139, and 451 nM with trapping.

Abstract
A combination of two online sample concentration techniques, large-volume sample stacking with an electroosmotic flow pump (LVSEP) and field-amplified sample injection (FASI), was investigated in CE to achieve highly sensitive oligosaccharide analysis. In CE with LVSEP-FASI, analytes injected throughout the capillary were concentrated on the basis of LVSEP, followed by an electrokinetic introduction of concentrated analytes from the inlet vial by the FASI mechanism. After switching the inlet vial solution from the sample to running buffer, the concentrated analytes were then separated by CZE. In the present LVSEP-FASI-CZE, pressure was applied to the capillary inlet until the inlet vial solution was exchanged. The applied pressure generated a counterflow against the EOF. It kept the stacked sample zone within the capillary, minimizing loss of concentrated analytes. Fluorescein was first analyzed by LVSEP-FASI-CZE to optimize preconcentration condition. Up to 110 000-fold sensitivity increase was obtained with 200 μL of sample, compared to normal CZE with sample injection of 0.3 psi for 3 s (ca. 1.7 nL). From the results, the pressure application improved the efficiency of the FASI-mode concentration significantly at total concentration time longer than 10 min. In the analysis of maltoheptaose, a 10 000-fold sensitivity increase was achieved, which is the highest concentration efficiency ever reported in CE of oligosaccharides. The relative standard deviations of the detection time and peak height were 2.4 and 11%, respectively. In the analysis of glucose oligomer, up to 8600-fold sensitivity increases were achieved without reducing the separation performance of conventional CZE.

Abstract
CE is gaining great popularity as a well-established separation technique for many fields such as pharmaceutical research, clinical application, environmental monitoring, and food analysis, owing to its high resolving power, rapidity, and small amount of samples and reagents required. However, the sensitivity in CE analysis is still considered as being inferior to that in HPLC analysis. Diverse enrichment methods and techniques have been increasingly developed for overcoming this issue. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in enrichment techniques containing off-line preconcentration (sample preparation) and on-line concentration (sample stacking) to enhancing sensitivity in CE for trace analysis over the last 5 years. Some relatively new cleanup and preconcentration methods involving the use of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, supercritical fluid extraction, matrix solid-phase dispersion, etc., and the continued use and improvement of conventional SPE, have been comprehensively reviewed and proved effective preconcentration alternatives for liquid, semisolid, and solid samples. As for CE on-line stacking, we give an overview of field amplication, sweeping, pH regulation, and transient isotachophoresis, and the coupling of multiple modes. Moreover, some limitations and comparisons related to such methods/techniques are also discussed. Finally, the combined use of various enrichment techniques and some significant attempts are proposed to further promote analytical merits in CE.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogs are widely used in anti-cancer, anti-(retro)viral, and immunosuppressive therapy. Nucleosides are prodrugs that require intracellular activation to mono-, di-, and finally triphosphates. Monitoring of these intracellular nucleotides is important to understand their pharmacology. The relatively involatile salts and ion-pairing agents traditionally used for the separation of these ionic analytes limit the applicability of mass spectrometry (MS) for detection. Both indirect and direct methods have been developed to circumvent this apparent incompatibility. Indirect methods consist of de-phosphorylation of the nucleotides into nucleosides before the actual analysis. Various direct approaches have been developed, ranging from the use of relatively volatile or very low levels of regular ion-pairing agents, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), weak anion-exchange, or porous graphitic carbon columns to capillary electrophoresis and matrix-assisted light desorption--time of flight (MALDI-TOF) MS. In this review we present an overview of the publications describing the quantitative analysis of therapeutic intracellular nucleotide analogs using MS. The focus is on the different approaches for their direct analysis. We conclude that despite the technical hurdles, several useful MS-compatible chromatographic approaches have been developed, enabling the use of the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of MS for the quantitative analysis of intracellular nucleotides.

Abstract
A simple, rapid and sensitive CE-ESI-MS method for the simultaneous analysis of seven stimulants and narcotics (amphetamine, ephedrine, methadone, pethidine, tetracaine, codeine and heroin) was developed. The CE-ESI-MS experimental conditions were optimized as follows: 20 mmol/L ammonium acetate with pH 9.0 as running buffer, the separation voltage of 22 kV and the sheath liquid of isopropanol/water (1:1 v/v) containing 7.5 mmol/L acetic acid with 3.0 μL/min flow rate. Under the optimized conditions, the stimulants and narcotics were well separated within 4.6 min using a 70-cm length fused-silica capillary (50 μm id). The detection limits (S/N=3) of the CE-ESI-MS analysis were in the range of 0.40-1.0 ng/mL. Method repeatability of intra-day and inter-day was satisfactory. The recoveries obtained from the analysis of spiked urine samples were between 84.1 and 108%. The developed method was successfully applied for the simultaneous analysis of methadone, pethidine and codeine and their in vitro metabolites.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis has been alive for over two decades now; yet, its sensitivity is still regarded as being inferior to that of more traditional methods of separation such as HPLC. As such, it is unsurprising that overcoming this issue still generates much scientific interest. This review continues to update this series of reviews, first published in Electrophoresis in 2007, with an update published in 2009 and covers material published through to June 2010. It includes developments in the fields of stacking, covering all methods from field-amplified sample stacking and large volume sample stacking, through to ITP, dynamic pH junction and sweeping. Attention is also given to on-line or in-line extraction methods that have been used for electrophoresis.

Abstract
Nucleotides are a class of molecules that play an essential role in biological systems. A new method has been developed in the detection of nucleotides. These molecules can exist as monomers or constituents of oligomers and polymers. As such, they carry from one to several negative charges. In this study, different cationic ion-pairing reagents were used to complex with each of the 28 nucleotide monomers and nucleotide containing compounds. By using this method, this discrete set of anions was able to be detected in the positive-mode electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, as positively charged complexes. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments were also completed on the ion-pairing reagents that performed the best in the single ion monitoring (SIM) ion mode, and the sensitivity was lowered even further for most of the anions. Limits of detection for compounds such as thymidine diphosphate were improved as much as 100 times compared to the positive SIM mode, and 750 times when compared to the negative mode. A few nucleotides did not show a significant increase in sensitivity when analyzed in the positive ion mode, but in general the new method developed herein resulted in a much greater sensitivity than traditional detection in the negative mode.

Abstract
We report a highly effective on-chip preconcentration method by combining field-amplified sample injection (FASI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) sweeping for ultrasensitive detection of green fluorescent protein (GFP) on a simple cross-channel microchip device. With the formation of a stagnant sample/running buffer boundary by balancing the hydrodynamic flow and the electro-osmotic flow (EOF), GFP molecules can be continuously injected into the sample loading channel and stacked. We have also demonstrated that BSA is a very effective pseudo-stationary phase for sweeping concentration of proteins in comparison to the commonly used micelles. The combination of FASI and BSA sweeping yields a concentration factor of 3570 and a limit of detection of 8.4 pM for GFP. Using this method, we have separated GFP and GFP-insulin-like growth factor-I (GFP-IGF-I) fusion protein. The entire assay (GFP concentration, matrix elimination, and electrophoretic separation) can be completed within <5 min. Furthermore, we have successfully applied this method for the detection of GFP expression of E. coli cells and the GFP content in single E. coli cells.

Abstract
In the current paper, enzyme enhanced simultaneous quantitative determination of multiple DNA targets based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) was described. We used three biotin-modified DNA probes, which reacted with avidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (avidin-HRP) conjugate to obtain the HRP labeled probes, to hybridize with three corresponding targets. The resulting mixture containing double-strand DNA (dsDNA)-HRP, excess single-strand DNA (ssDNA)-HRP and remaining avidin-HRP was separated by capillary electrophoresis, and then the system of HRP catalyzing H(2)O(2)/o-aminophenol (OAP) reaction was adopted. The catalytic product was detected with electrochemical detection. With this protocol, the limits of quantification for the hybridization assay of 21-, 39- and 80-mer DNA fragments were of 1.2 x 10(-11), 2.4 x 10(-11) and 3.0 x 10(-11)M, respectively. The multiplex assay also provided good specificity without any cross-reaction.

Abstract
Twelve nucleotides and seven nucleotide sugars in Chinese Hamster ovary (CHO) cells were determined by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The CE operating conditions of buffer pH value, ion strength, capillary temperature, polymer additive and cell extraction method were investigated. Optimum separation was achieved with 40 mM sodium tetraborate buffer (pH 9.5) containing 1% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) at a capillary temperature of 22 degrees C. Acetonitrile and chloroform were used for intracellular extraction. This method can be used to monitor intracellular carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
This paper describes a novel method that applies pressure-assisted field-amplified sample injection with reverse migrating micelles (PA-FASI-RMM) for the online concentration of neutral analytes in MEKC with a low-pH BGE. After injection of a plug of water into the separation capillary, negative voltage and positive pressure were simultaneously applied to initialize PA-FASI-RMM injection. The hydrodynamic flow generated by the positive pressure compensated the reverse EOF in the water plug and allowed the water plug to remain in the capillary during FASI with reverse migrating micelles (FASI-RMM) to obtain a much longer injection time than usual, which improved stacking efficiency greatly. Equations describing this injection mode were introduced and were supported by experimental results. For a 450-s online PA-FASI-RMM injection, three orders of magnitude sample enhancement in terms of peak area could be observed for the steroids and an achievement of detection limits was between 1 and 10 ng/mL.

Abstract
A panorama of sample preparation methods has been composed from 481 references, with a highlight of some promising methods fast developed during recent years and a somewhat brief introduction on most of the well-developed methods. All the samples were commonly referred to molecular composition, being extendable to particles including cells but not to organs, tissues and larger bodies. Some criteria to evaluate or validate a sample preparation method were proposed for reference. Strategy for integration of several methods to prepare complicated protein samples for proteomic studies was illustrated and discussed.

Abstract
A highly sensitive in-column fiber-optic LIF detector for CE has been constructed and evaluated. In this detection system, a 457-nm diode-pumped solid-state blue laser was used as the excitation light source and an optical fiber (40 mum od) was used to transmit the excitation light. One end of the optical fiber was inserted into the separation capillary and was in situ positioned at the detection window. The other end of the fiber was protruded from the capillary to capture the excitation light beam from the blue laser. Fluorescence emission was collected by a 40 x microscope objective, focused on a spatial filter, and passed through a yellow color filter before reaching the photomultiplier tube. The present CE-fluorescence detection is a simple and compact optical system. It reduces the laser scattering effect from the capillary and fiber as compared to the conventional LIF detection for CE. Its utility was successfully demonstrated by the separation and determination of D-penicillamine labeled with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde. The detection limit was 0.8 nM (S/N = 3). The present detection scheme has been proven to be attractive for sensitive fluorescence detection for CE.

Abstract
Diverse small molecules alkylate DNA and form covalently linked adducts that can influence crucial biological processes, contributing to toxicity and mutation. Understanding the chemical reactivity dictating DNA alkylation and interactions of adducts with biological pathways can impact disease prevention and treatment. The ambident reactivity of DNA-alkylating small molecules, and of DNA itself, often results in formation of multiple adducts. Determining which structures impart biological responses is important for understanding the underlying relationships between small-molecule structure and biology. With application of sensitive and structure-specific experimental and analytical methodology, such as heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, there are increasing numbers of studies that evaluate DNA alkylation from the perspective of resulting adduct profiles. DNA adduct profiles have been examined for both exogenous and endogenous reactive small molecules. Examples of recent findings are in the areas of tobacco-specific carcinogens, lipid peroxidation products, environmental and dietary chlorophenols, and natural-product-derived antitumor therapies. As more profile data are obtained, correlations with biological impact are being observed that would not be identified by a simplified single agent/single adduct approach.

Abstract
The identification and measurement of negatively charged DNA oligonucleotides and their benzo[a]pyrene-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) adducts by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) hyphenated mass spectrometry (MS) system using an on-line enrichment technique, the constant pressure assisted electrokinetic injection (PAEKI), is described here. With optimized PAEKI conditions, an on-line sample concentration power of 300-800 times could be reached for both single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) oligonucleotides during a 90-s PAEKI injection. The detection limits using single quadrupole MS in the scan mode were 0.01-0.03 microM for ss and 0.04-0.08 microM for ds oligonucleotides, respectively. The relative standard deviations at 1 microM of oligonucleotides were from 7.6 to 15.8%. A dynamic linear calibration range of about two orders of magnitude were observed. Good mass spectra of oligonucleotides and BPDE-oligonucleotide adducts at low micromolar levels could be obtained using single quadrupole MS which could be a helpful tool in DNA adducts studies.
