Investigating cationic and zwitterionic successive multiple ionic-polymer layer coatings for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1720:464802. [PMID: 38507871 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Successive multiple ionic-polymer layers (SMILs) have long since proved their worth in capillary electrophoresis as they ensure stable electroosmotic flow (EOF) and relatively high separation efficiency. Recently, we demonstrated that plotting the plate height (H) against the solute migration velocity (u) enabled a reliable quantitative evaluation of the coating performances in terms of separation efficiency. In this work, various physicochemical and chemical parameters of the SMIL coating were studied and optimized in order to decrease the slope of the ascending part of the H vs u curve, which is known to be controlled by the homogeneity in charge of the coating surface and by the possible residual solute adsorption onto the coating surface. SMILs based on poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PSS) were formed and the effect of each polyelectrolyte molar mass and of the number of polyelectrolyte layers (up to 21 layers) was studied. The use of polyethylene imine as an anchoring first layer was considered. More polyelectrolyte couples based on PDADMAC, polybrene, PSS, poly(vinyl sulfate), and poly(acrylic acid) were tested. Finally, zwitterionic polymers based on the poly(α-l-lysine) scaffold were synthesized and used as the last layer of SMILs, illustrating their ability to finetune the EOF, while maintaining good separation efficiency.

Abstract
In this work, an innovative and accurate affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) method was set up to monitor the complexation of aqueous MIP nanogels (NGs) with model cancer-related antigens. Using α2,6'- and α2,3'-sialyllactose as oversimplified cancer biomarker-mimicking templates, NGs were synthesized and characterized in terms of size, polydispersity, and overall charge. A stability study was also carried out in order to select the best storage conditions and to ensure product quality. After optimization of capillary electrophoresis conditions, injection of MIP NGs resulted in a single, sharp, and efficient peak. The mobility shift approach was applied to quantitatively estimate binding affinity, in this case resulting in an association constant of K ≈ 106 M-1. The optimized polymers further displayed a pronounced discrimination between the two sialylated sugars. The newly developed ACE protocol has the potential to become a very effective method for nonconstrained affinity screening of NG in solution, especially during the NG development phase and/or for a final accurate quantitation of the observed binding.

Evaluation of Surface Treatments of PDMS Microfluidic Devices for Improving Small-Molecule Recovery with Application to Monitoring Metabolites Secreted from Islets of Langerhans. ACS MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AU 2023; 3:380-389.

Abstract
Microfluidic devices are becoming an important tool for bioanalysis with applications including studying cell secretion, cell growth, and drug delivery. Small molecules such as drugs, cell products, or nutrients may partition into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a commonly used material for microfluidic devices, potentially leading to poor recovery or inaccurate delivery of such chemicals. To decrease small-molecule partitioning, surface and bulk PDMS treatments have been developed; however, these have been tested on few analytes, or their biocompatibility are unknown. Studies often focus on one analyte, whereas a diversity of chemicals are of interest and possibly affected. In this study, 11 device treatments are tested and applied to 21 biologically relevant small molecules with a variety of chemical structures. Device treatments are characterized using water contact angle measurements and evaluated by measuring recovery of the 21 target analytes using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. 1,5-Dimethyl-1,5-diazaundecamethylene polymethobromide (polybrene), a positively charged polymer, produced the least hydrophilic surface and was found to provide the best recovery with most of the analytes having >50% recovery and up to 92% recovery; however, recovery varied by analyte highlighting the importance of analyte diversity rather than targeting a single analyte in evaluating treatments. A polybrene-treated device was applied to investigate secretion from pancreatic islets, which are micro-organs involved in glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Islets secrete small molecules that have been shown to modulate the secretion of islets' main functional products, glucose-regulating hormones. The polybrene treatment enabled the detection of 20 target analytes from islets-on-chip during isosmotic and hypo-osmotic glucose perfusions and resulted in detection of more significant secretion changes compared to untreated PDMS.

Modifying last layer in polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings for capillary electrophoresis of proteins. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1692:463837.

Abstract
Protein adsorption on the inner wall of the fused silica capillary wall is an important concern for capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis since it is mainly responsible for separation efficiency reduction. Successive Multiple Ionic-polymer Layers (SMIL) are used as capillary coatings to limit protein adsorption, but even low residual adsorption strongly impacts the separation efficiency, especially at high separation voltages. In this work, the influence of the chemical nature and the PEGylation of the polyelectrolyte deposited in the last layer of the SMIL coating was investigated on the separation performances of a mixture of four model intact proteins (myoglobin (Myo), trypsin inhibitor (TI), ribonuclease a (RNAse A) and lysozyme (Lyz)). Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), polyethyleneimine (PEI), ε-poly(L-lysine) (εPLL) and α-poly(L-lysine) (αPLL) were compared before and after chemical modification with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) of different chain lengths. The experimental results obtained by performing electrophoretic separations at different separation voltages allowed determining the residual retention factor of the proteins onto the capillary wall via the determination of the plate height at different solute velocities and demonstrated a strong impact of the polycationic last layer on the electroosmotic mobility, the separation efficiency and the overall resolution. Properties of SMIL coatings were also characterized by quartz microbalance and atomic force microscopy, demonstrating a glassy structure of the films.

Abstract
Since the introduction of polyelectrolyte multilayers to protein separation in capillary electrophoresis (CE), some progress has been made to improve separation efficiency by varying different parameters, such as buffer ionic strength and pH, polyelectrolyte nature and number of deposited layers. However, CE is often overlooked as it lacks robustness compared to other separation techniques. In this work, critical parameters for the construction of efficient and reproducible Successive multiple ionic-polymer layers (SMIL) coatings were investigated, focusing on experimental conditions, such as vial preparation and sample conservation which were shown to have a significant impact on separation performances. In addition to repeatability, intra- and inter-capillary precision were assessed, demonstrating the improved capability of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) / poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PDADMAC / PSS) coated capillaries to separate model proteins in a 2 M acetic acid background electrolyte when all the correct precautions are put in place (with run to run%RSD(tm) < 1.8%, day to day%RSD(tm) < 3.2% and cap to cap%RSD(tm) < 4.6%). The approach recently introduced to calculate retention factors was used to quantify residual protein adsorption onto the capillary wall and to assess capillary coating performances. 5-layer PDADAMAC / PSS coatings led to average retention factors for the five model proteins of ∼4×10-2. These values suggest a relatively low residual protein adsorption leading to reasonably flat plate height vs linear velocity curves, obtained by performing electrophoretic separations at different electrical voltages (-10 to -25 kV).

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become an important class of biopharmaceuticals used for the treatment of various diseases. Their quantification during the manufacturing process is important. In this work, a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was developed for the monitoring of the mAb concentration during cell-culture processes. CZE method development rules are outlined, particularly discussing various capillary coatings, such as a neutral covalent polyvinyl alcohol coating, a dynamic successive multiple ionic-polymer coating, and dynamic coatings using background electrolyte additives such as triethanolamine (T-EthA) and triethylamine. The dynamic T-EthA coating resulted in most stable electro-osmotic flows and most efficient peak shapes. The method is validated over the range 0.1-10 mg/ml, with a linear range of 0.08-1.3 mg/ml and an extended range of 1-10 mg/ml by diluting samples in the latter concentration range 10-fold in water. The intraday precision and accuracy were 2%-12% and 88%-107%, respectively, and inter-day precision and accuracy were 4%-9% and 93%-104%, respectively. The precision and accuracy of the lowest concentration level (0.08 mg/ml) were slightly worse and still well in scope for monitoring purposes. The presented method proved applicable for analysing in-process cell-culture samples from different cell-culture processes and is possibly well suited as platform method.

Abstract
In this work, human insulin and its 6 analogues were separated and determined using CZE-MS. Three different capillaries (bare fused silica, successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) and static linear polyacrylamide (LPA) coated) were compared based on their separation performances in their optimal operating conditions. Coated capillaries demonstrated slightly better separation of the components, although some components showed wide, distorted peaks. The highest plate number could be obtained in the SMIL capillary (192 000/m). For UV and ESI-MS detection relatively similar LOD values were obtained (0.3-1.2 mg/L and 1.0-3.4 mg/L, respectively). The application of MS detection provided useful structural information and unambiguous identification for insulins having similar or the same molecular mass. This work is considered to be important not only for the investigation of insulins but also for its potential contribution to the top-down analysis of proteins using CE-MS.

Abstract
This work introduces novel and universal workflows for the analysis of intact proteins by capillary electrophoresis and presents guidelines for the targeted selection of appropriate background electrolytes (BGEs) by consideration of the target proteins' isoelectric point (pI). The suitability of neutral dimethyl polysiloxane (PDMS) capillaries with dynamic coatings of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and bare fused silica (BFS) capillaries were systematically evaluated for the analysis of histidine and seven model proteins in six BGEs with pH values between 3.0 and 9.6. Multiple capillary and BGE combinations were suitable for the analysis of all proteins with molecular weights ranging from 13.7-150 kDa, and pIs between 4.7 and 9.6. The CTAB-PDMS capillary was best suited for low pH BGEs, while the SDS-PDMS and BFS capillary were superior for high pH BGEs. These combinations consistently resulted in sharp peak shapes and rapid migration times. pH values of BGEs closer to the proteins' pI produced poorer peak shapes and decreased effective mobilities due to suppressed ionisation. Plots of mobility vs. pH crossed at approximately the pI of the protein in most cases. The workflow was applied to the analysis of caseins and whey proteins in milk for the separation of the seven most abundant proteins, including the isoforms of A1 and A2 β-casein and β-lactoglobulin A and B.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been proven to be a performant analytical method to analyze both small and macro molecules. Indeed, it is capable of separating compounds of the same nature according to differences in their charge to size ratios, particularly proteins, monoclonal antibodies and peptides. However, one of the major obstacles to reach high separation efficiency remains the adsorption of solutes on the capillary wall. Among the different coating approaches used to control and minimize solute adsorption, polyelectrolyte multilayers can be applied to CE as a versatile approach. These coatings are made up of alternating layers of polycations and polyanions, and may be used in acidic, neutral or basic conditions depending on the solutes to be analyzed. This Review provides an overview of Successive Multiple Ionic-polymer Layer (SMIL) coatings used in CE, looking at how different parameters induce variations on the electro-osmotic flow (EOF), separation efficiency and coating stability, as well as their promising applications in the biopharmaceutical field.

Abstract
Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) separates serum proteins into bands whose shape and amplitude can alert clinicians to a range of disorders. This is followed by more specific immunoassays to quantify important antigens and confirm a diagnosis. Here we develop a high-speed capillary electrophoresis (HSCE) platform capable of simultaneous SPE and immunoassay measurements. A single laser excitation source is focused into the detection zone of the capillary to measure both refractive index (SPE) and fluorescence signals (immunoassays). The refractive index signal measures characteristic SPE profiles for human serum separated in 100 mM boric acid (pH 10), 100 mM arginine (pH 11), and 20 mM CHES (pH 10). For the immunoassay, the fluorescence electropherograms reveal that CHES provides the optimal buffer for measuring the immunocomplex and separating it from the free antigen. Immunoassays in CHES yield a LOD of 23 nM and a LOQ of 70 nM for the detection of fluorescein. The high pH reduces protein adsorption but reduces antibody affinity. Preliminary studies carried out in 50 mM barbital at pH 8 show improved stability of the immunocomplex and better separation for immunoassay quantification. Further optimization will open new capabilities for measuring orthogonal diagnostic signals in seconds with HSCE.

Abstract
We describe the chromatographic and electrochromatographic separation of small neutral and charged analytes using a fused silica capillary with a stationary pseudophase semi-permanent coating of didodecyldimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) aggregates. The coating was prepared by flushing the capillary with a DDAB solution that was rinsed out with the mobile phase. Our studies (i.e., electroosmotic flow measurements by capillary electrophoresis, chromatographic retention of a neutral probe and atomic force microscopy) suggested the formation of DDAB patchy admicelle, complete admicelle, or larger aggregates at the solid surface - liquid interface inside the capillary, depending on the concentration of DDAB used in coating the capillary. The analytical figures of merit for open tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC, pressure driven) and open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC, voltage driven) using a capillary coated with 0.5 mM DDAB and mobile phase/background solution of 25 mM borate buffer at pH 9.5 with 10% MeOH were the following: LOD = 3.0-5.0 µg/mL (OT-LC) and 2.5-5.0 µg/mL (OT-CEC); linearity R2 > 0.99 (peak area (OT-LC) and corrected peak area (OT-CEC)), intraday and interday repeatability%RSD < 5% (n = 12) for retention/migration time, peak area (OT-LC) and corrected peak area (OT-CEC). The reversed-phase and anion-exchange property of the stationary pseudophase was studied by the addition of organic solvents and sodium chloride to the mobile phase, respectively. We also demonstrate the increase in the ks of the tested analytes by implementing successive multiple ionic layer (SMIL) coating strategies with DDAB in combination with a cationic and/or anionic polyelectrolyte. The use of a stationary pseudophase coating is potentially an easy alternative way to conduct open-tubular liquid chromatography and electrochromatography.

Abstract
A method for the preparation of an on-column ESI emitter used as the sheathless interface for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) with mass spectrometry (MS) was developed. The emitter was directly fabricated at the outlet end of the separation capillary which was etched with HF solution to a symmetrical tip. The tip was covered with a small piece of gold foil which was fixed by epoxy resin glue for electrical contact. Such a prepared ESI emitter can produce a stable ESI signal over the wide range of flow rate from 50 nL/min to 800 nL/min. The performance of the CE-MS with the sheathless interface was evaluated by using the separation of four alkaloids. It was found that the strong electroosmotic flow produced by the multiple polyelectrolyte coating on the capillary is necessary for maintaining a stable MS signal. Effect of the running buffer composition, concentration and the CE separation voltages on the ESI signal strength were investigated. The absolute detection limits for the alkaloids was determined as fmol level. Moreover, the CE-MS was applied for the analyses of trypsin digestion of cytochrome C and small molecular organic anions. The emitter performed very stable with a lifetime of at least 180 h.

Abstract
Statically adsorbed or covalently coupled capillary coatings are of crucial importance in capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry for the separation of peptides and proteins. So far, published coating strategies and commercially available coated capillaries have a limited pH-stability so that the analysis at strongly acidic pH is limited, or harsh rinsing procedures for biological sample analysis cannot be applied. We here present a capillary coating based on Si-C linkages to N-acryloylamido ethoxyethanol (AAEE) with a new synthetic strategy including LiAlH4 surface reaction. We optimized the coating method with emphasis on stability and reproducibility applying harsh rinsing procedures (strong acid, strong base and organic solvent), using the electroosmotic mobility and separation efficiency of tryptic peptides as performance measure. Complete synthesis is performed in less than 2 days for up to 8 capillaries in parallel of more than 16 m total length. Intra- and inter-batch reproducibility were determined regarding electroosmotic mobility, separation efficiency and migration time precision in CE-MS separations of tryptically digested bovine serum albumin. Coating stability towards rinsing with strong acid (1 mol/L HCl), organic solvent (acetonitrile) and strong base (1 mol/L NaOH) was investigated. Outstanding performance was found for single capillaries. However, inter-capillary reproducibility is discussed critically. The new coating was successfully applied for reproducible CE-MS separation of large proteins in diluted serum, medium-sized peptides and small and highly charged polyamines in fish egg extracts using a very acidic background electrolyte containing 0.75 mol/L acetic acid and 0.25 mol/L formic acid (pH 2.2).

Abstract
In the recent decade, metal pyrithione complexes have become important biocides for antifouling purposes in shipping. The analysis of metal pyrithione complexes and their degradation products/species in environmental samples is challenging because they exhibit fast UV degradation, transmetalation, and ligand substitution and are known to be prone to spontaneous species transformation within a chromatographic system. The environmental properties of the pyrithione species, e.g., toxicity to target and non-target organisms, are differing strongly, and it is therefore inevitable to identify as well as quantify all species separately. To cope with the separation of metal pyrithione species with minimum species transformation during analysis, a capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based method was developed. The hyphenation of CE with selective electrospray ionization- and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ESI-, ICP-MS) provided complementary molecular and elemental information for the identification and quantification of pyrithione species. To study speciation of pyrithiones, a leaching experiment of several commercial antifouling paints containing zinc pyrithione in ultrapure and river water was conducted. Only the two species pyrithione (HPT) and dipyrithione ((PT)2) were found in the leaching media, in concentrations between 0.086 and 2.4 μM (HPT) and between 0.062 and 0.59 μM ((PT)2), depending on the paint and leaching medium. The limits of detection were 20 nM (HPT) and 10 nM ((PT)2). The results show that complementary CE-MS is a suitable tool for mechanistical studies concerning species transformation (e.g., degradation) and the identification of target species of metal pyrithione complexes in real surface water matrices, laying the ground for future environmental studies. Graphical abstract Hyphenation of CE with ESI- and ICP-MS provided complementary molecular and elemental information. Metal pyrithione species released from commercial antifouling paints could be identified and quantified in ultrapure and river water matrices.

Abstract
This review critically discusses the developments on open-tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC) and open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC) during 2014-2018. An appropriate Scopus search revealed 5 reviews, 4 theoretical papers on open-tubular format chromatography, 29 OT-LC articles, 68 OT-CEC articles and 4 OT-LC/OT-CEC articles, indicating a sustained interest in these areas. The open-tubular format typically uses a capillary column with inner walls that are coated with an ample layer or coating of solid stationary phase material. The ratio between the capillary internal diameter and coating thickness (CID/CT) is ideally ≤ 100 for appropriate chromatographic retention. We, therefore, approximated the CID/CT ratios and found that 22 OT-LC papers have CID/CT ratios ≤100. The other 7 OT-LC papers have CID/CT ratio >100 but have clearly demonstrated chromatographic retention. These 29 papers utilised reversed phase or ion exchange mechanisms using known or innovative solid stationary phase materials (e.g. metal organic frameworks), stationary pseudophases from ionic surfactants or porous supports. On the other hand, we found that 68 OT-CEC papers, 7 OT-LC papers and 4 OT-LC & OT-CEC papers have CID/CT ratios >100. Notably, 44 papers (42 OT-CEC and 2 OT-LC & OT-CEC) did not report the retention factor and/or effective electrophoretic mobility of analytes. Considering all covered papers, the most popular activity was on the development of new chromatographic materials as coatings. However, we encourage OT-CEC researchers to not only characterise changes in the electroosmotic flow but also verify the interaction of the analytes with the coating. In addition, the articles reported were largely driven by stationary phase or support development and not by practical applications.

Abstract
The 3D structures of biomolecules determine their biological function. Established methods in biomolecule structure determination typically require purification, crystallization, or modification of target molecules, which limits their applications for analyzing trace amounts of biomolecules in complex matrices. Here, we developed instruments and methods of mobility capillary electrophoresis (MCE) and its coupling with MS for the 3D structural analysis of biomolecules in the liquid phase. Biomolecules in complex matrices could be separated by MCE and sequentially detected by MS. The effective radius and the aspect ratio of each separated biomolecule were simultaneously determined through the separation by MCE, which were then used as restraints in determining biomolecule conformations through modeling. Feasibility of this method was verified by analyzing a mixture of somatostatin and bradykinin, two peptides with known liquid-phase structures. Proteins could also be structurally analyzed using this method, which was demonstrated for lysozyme. The combination of MCE and MS for complex sample analysis was also demonstrated. MCE and MCE-MS would allow us to analyze trace amounts of biomolecules in complex matrices, which has the potential to be an alternative and powerful biomolecule structure analysis technique.

Abstract
Nanoplasmonic sensing (NPS), based on localized surface plasmon resonance, with sensors composed of glass covered with golden nanodisks and overlaid with a SiO2 coating was applied in this study. Egg phosphatidylcholine (eggPC), being an easily accessible membrane-forming lipid, was used for preparation of biomimicking membranes. Small unilamellar vesicles with an approximate hydrodynamic diameter of 30 nm, formed by sonication in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid buffer, were adsorbed within 10 min on the sensor surface either as intact vesicles or as a planar bilayer. The adsorbed biomembrane systems were further utilized for interaction studies with four different well-known surfactants (negatively and positively charged, zwitterionic, and nonionic) and each surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Our results allowed the evaluation of different NPS patterns for every particular supported membrane system, surfactant, and its concentration. The most significant effect on the membrane was achieved upon the introduction of zwitterionic surfactant micelles, which in fact completely solubilized and removed the lipid membranes from the sensor surface. Other surfactant micelles interacted with the membranes and formed mixed structures remaining on the sensor surface. The studies performed at the concentrations below the CMCs of the surfactants showed that different mixed systems were formed. Depending on the supported membrane system and the type of surfactant, the mixed systems indicated different formation kinetics. Additionally, the final water rinse revealed the stability of the formed systems. To investigate the effect of the studied surfactants on the overall surface charge of the biomembrane, capillary electrophoresis (CE) experiments were carried out in parallel with the NPS analysis. The electroosmotic flow mobility of an eggPC-coated fused silica capillary was used to measure the total surface charge of the biomembrane after its treatment with the surfactants. Our results indicated in general good correlation between CE and NPS data. However, some discrepancies were seen while applying either zwitterionic or positively charged surfactants. This confirmed that CE analysis was able to provide additional data about the investigated systems. Taken together, the combination of NPS and CE proved to be an efficient way to describe the nature of interactions between biomimicking membranes and amphiphilic molecules.

Abstract
Although electroosmotic flow (EOF) has been applied to drive fluid flow in microfluidic chips, some of the phenomena associated with it can adversely affect the performance of certain applications such as electrophoresis and ion preconcentration. To minimize the undesirable effects, EOF can be suppressed by polymer coatings or introduction of nanostructures. In this work, we presented a novel technique that employs the Dry Etching, Electroplating and Molding (DEEMO) process along with reactive ion etching (RIE), to fabricate microchannel with black silicon nanostructures (prolate hemispheroid-like structures). The effect of black silicon nanostructures on EOF was examined experimentally by current monitoring method, and numerically by finite element simulations. The experimental results showed that the EOF velocity was reduced by 13 ± 7%, which is reasonably close to the simulation results that predict a reduction of approximately 8%. EOF reduction is caused by the distortion of local electric field at the nanostructured surface. Numerical simulations show that the EOF velocity decreases with increasing nanostructure height or decreasing diameter. This reveals the potential of tuning the etching process parameters to generate nanostructures for better EOF suppression. The outcome of this investigation enhances the fundamental understanding of EOF behavior, with implications on the precise EOF control in devices utilizing nanostructured surfaces for chemical and biological analyses.

Abstract
In the field of metabolomics, capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) can be considered a very useful analytical tool for the profiling of polar and charged metabolites. However, variability of migration time is an important issue in CE. An elegant way to minimize this problem is the use of non-covalently coated capillaries that is dynamic coating of the bare fused-silica capillary with solutions of charged polymers. In this protocol, an improved strategy for the profiling of cationic metabolites in urine by CE-MS using multilayered non-covalent capillary coatings is presented. Capillaries are coated with a bilayer of polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (PVS) or with a triple layer of PB, dextran sulfate (DS), and PB. The bilayer- and triple-layer-coated capillaries have a negative and positive outside layer, respectively. It is shown that the use of such capillaries provides very repeatable migration times.

This has been fueled by innovation in the available materials and assembly technologies, as well as the film-characterization techniques. In this Review, we explore, discuss, and detail innovation in layer-by-layer assembly in terms of past and present developments, and we highlight how these might guide future advances. A particular focus is on conventional and early developments that have only recently regained interest in the layer-by-layer assembly field. We then review unconventional assemblies and approaches that have been gaining popularity, which include inorganic/organic hybrid materials, cells and tissues, and the use of stereocomplexation, patterning, and dip-pen lithography, to name a few. A relatively recent development is the use of layer-by-layer assembly materials and techniques to assemble films in a single continuous step. We name this "quasi"-layer-by-layer assembly and discuss the impacts and innovations surrounding this approach. Finally, the application of characterization methods to monitor and evaluate layer-by-layer assembly is discussed, as innovation in this area is often overlooked but is essential for development of the field. While we intend for this Review to be easily accessible and act as a guide to researchers new to layer-by-layer assembly, we also believe it will provide insight to current researchers in the field and help guide future developments and innovation.

Abstract
Chitosan is often characterized by its average degree of acetylation. To increase chitosan's use in various industries, a more thorough characterization is necessary as the acetylation of chitosan affects properties such as dissolution and mechanical properties of chitosan films. Despite the poor solubility of chitosan, free solution capillary electrophoresis (CE) allows a robust separation of chitosan by the degree of acetylation. The distribution of degrees of acetylation of various chitosan samples was characterized through their distributions of electrophoretic mobilities. These distributions can be obtained easily and with high precision. The heterogeneity of the chitosan chains in terms of acetylation was characterized through the dispersity of the electrophoretic mobility distributions obtained. The relationship between the number-average degree of acetylation obtained by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and the weight-average electrophoretic mobilities was established. The distribution of degrees of acetylation was determined using capillary electrophoresis in the critical conditions (CE-CC).

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is a powerful analytical technique for fast and efficient separation of different analytes ranging from small inorganic ions to large proteins. However electrophoretic resolution significantly depends on the coating of the inner capillary surface. High technical efforts like Successive Multiple Ionic Polymer Layer (SMIL) generation have been taken to develop stable coatings with switchable surface charges fulfilling the requirements needed for optimal separation. Although the performance can be easily proven in normalized test runs, characterization of the coating itself remains challenging. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows for topographical investigation of biological and analytical relevant surfaces with nanometer resolution and yields information about the surface roughness and homogeneity. Upgrading the scanning tip to a molecular biosensor by adhesive molecules (like partly inverted charged molecules) allows for performing topography and recognition imaging (TREC). As a result, simultaneously acquired sample topography and adhesion maps can be recorded. We optimized this technique for electrophoresis capillaries and investigated the charge distribution of differently composed and treated SMIL coatings. By using the positively charged protein avidin as a single molecule sensor, we compared these SMIL coatings with respect to negative charges, resulting in adhesion maps with nanometer resolution. The capability of TREC as a functional investigation technique at the nanoscale was successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Purity determination of somatropin as a recombinant protein is important to ensure its safety and quality. This is carried out by capillary zone electrophoresis in double-injection mode using polybrene/chondroitin sulfate A double-coated capillaries. Modification of the capillary wall eliminates protein-wall interactions which results in improved accuracy and precision of the determinations. In the double-injection mode two somatropin samples are analyzed within a single electrophoretic run. Prior to the second injection, the first injected plug is electrophoresed for a predetermined time period in order to adjust the inter-plug distance. Here, the principle for the separation of somatropin charge variants is described.

Abstract
Multilayer thin films have garnered intense scientific interest due to their potential application in diverse fields such as catalysis, optics, energy, membranes, and biomedicine. Here we review the current technologies for multilayer thin-film deposition using layer-by-layer assembly, and we discuss the different properties and applications arising from the technologies. We highlight five distinct routes of assembly—immersive, spin, spray, electromagnetic, and fluidic assembly—each of which offers material and processing advantages for assembling layer-by-layer films. Each technology encompasses numerous innovations for automating and improving layering, which is important for research and industrial applications. Furthermore, we discuss how judicious choice of the assembly technology enables the engineering of thin films with tailor-made physicochemical properties, such as distinct-layer stratification, controlled roughness, and highly ordered packing.

Abstract
Human-assisted reproduction is increasing in importance due to the constantly rising number of couples suffering from infertility issue. A key step in in vitro fertilization is the proper assessment of embryo viability in order to select the embryo with the highest likelihood of resulting in a pregnancy. This study proposes a method based on CE with contactless conductivity detection for the determination of pyruvate and lactate in spent culture media used in human-assisted reproduction. A fused-silica capillary of 64.0 cm total length and 50 μm inner diameter was used. The inner capillary wall was modified by the coating of successive layers of the ionic polymers polybrene and dextran sulfate to reverse EOF. The BGE was composed of 10 mM MES/lithium hydroxide, pH 6.50. The sample was injected by pressure 50 mbar for 18 s, separation voltage was set to -24 kV, and capillary temperature to 15°C. The presented method requires only 2 μL of the culture medium, with LODs for pyruvate and lactate of 0.03 and 0.02 μM, respectively. The results demonstrated the method's suitability for the analysis of spent culture media to support embryo viability assessment by light microscopy, providing information about key metabolites of the energy metabolism of a developing embryo.

Abstract
Analytical technologies that enable investigations at the single cell level facilitate a range of studies; here a lab-fabricated capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS) platform was used to analyze anionic metabolites from individual Aplysia californica neurons. The system employs a customized coaxial sheath-flow nanospray interface connected to a separation capillary, with the sheath liquid and separation buffer optimized to ensure a stable spray. The method provided good repeatability of separation and reliable detection sensitivity for 16 mono-, di- and triphosphate nucleosides. For a range of anionic analytes, including cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the detection limits were in the low nanomolar range (<22 nM). A large Aplysia R2 neuron was used to demonstrate the ability of CE-ESI-MS to quantitatively characterize anionic metabolites within individual cells, with 15 nucleotides and derivatives detected. Following the method validation process, we probed smaller, 60 μm diameter Aplysia sensory neurons where sample stacking was used as a simple on-line analyte preconcentration approach. The calculated energy balance ([ATP] + 0.5 × [ADP])/([AMP] + [ADP] + [ATP]) of these cells was comparable with the value obtained from bulk samples.

Abstract
A synergistic stacking approach whereby field-enhanced sample injection and micelle-to-solvent stacking in capillary zone electrophoresis are combined has been developed and has been applied to the separation and quantification of anionic sulfonamides. Electrokinetic injection of the sample in a low conductivity alkaline diluent was performed for 90s at -15kV. Micelle-to-solvent stacking was then undertaken by hydrodynamic injection of micellar cetyltrimethylammonium bromide solution prior to the electrokinetic injection of sample that also contained 50% methanol. This combined stacking approach, when compared to a typical hydrostatic injection, provided improvements in peak height and corrected peak area in the range of 397-1024 and 758-1246, respectively. Limits of quantification in the range of 0.01-0.03μg/mL were obtained for sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine and sulfamethizole and were sufficient for the determination of these analytes in river water. The percentage recovery and accuracy values obtained for a fortified river water sample that had been subjected to sample preparation by evaporation and reconstitution with diluent were 74-135%. Intra-day and inter-day repeatabilities for migration time, peak height, and corrected peak area were in the range 0.5-5.0% (percentage relative standard deviation, n=8) and these relatively low values were attributed to the use of a stable capillary coating established by the successive multiple ionic-polymer layer technique.
