Abstract
The characterization of the impurities of pharmaceutical monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is crucial for their function and safety. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is one of the most efficient tools to separate charge variants of mAbs; however, peak characterization remains difficult, since the hereby used background electrolytes (BGEs) are not compatible with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Here, a method that allows the separation of intact mAb charge variants is presented using CZE-ESI-MS, combining a cationic capillary coating and an acidic BGE. Therefore, a successive multiple ionic-polymer layer coating was developed based on diethylaminoethyl-dextran-poly(sodium styrene sulfonate). This coating leads to a relatively low reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) with an absolute mobility slightly higher than that of antibodies, enabling the separation of variants with slightly different mobilities. The potential of the coating is demonstrated using USP mAb003, where it was possible to separate C-terminal lysine variants from the main form, as well as several acidic variants and monoglycosylated mAb forms. The presented CZE-MS method can be applied to separate charge variants of a range of other antibodies such as infliximab, NISTmAB (Reference Material from the National Institute of Standards and Technology), adalimumab, and trastuzumab, demonstrating the general applicability for the separation of proteoforms of mAbs.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has emerged as a relevant technique for protein and biopharmaceutical analysis, as it combines high separation efficiency, sensitivity, and versatility. The use of capillary coatings, including successive multiple ionic-polymer layers (SMILs), reduces interactions between analytes and the capillary, further improving the CE performance. Nevertheless, separations done on SMIL coatings rarely surpass 500 × 103 plates/m. To obtain the best out of the CE, it is interesting to have a detailed look at the sources of peak dispersion. Separations of a mix of model proteins were performed on (poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)/poly(styrenesulfonate))2.5-coated capillaries at different electrical field strengths, leading to plate height H against migration velocity u plots that enabled a quantitative analysis of each contribution. Using this model, capillary lengths and injected volumes were systematically varied. For the first time, the contribution of sample electrophoretic heterogeneity to the total peak dispersion was deciphered for model proteins and a monoclonal antibody. Dispersion due to electromigration was seen to have an impact on plate heights in the case of triangular peaks of small molecules but not for proteins under the present conditions. UV and mass spectrometry detections were compared on the same capillary, providing valuable information on the impact of the detection type on separation efficiency. Close to 1 million plates/m were reached in the best conditions.

Abstract
Improving separation efficiency in capillary electrophoresis (CE) requires systematic study of the influence of the electric field (or solute linear velocity) on plate height for a better understanding of the critical parameters controlling peak broadening. Even for poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC)/poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) (PSS) successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coatings, which lead to efficient and reproducible separations of proteins, plate height increases with migration velocity, limiting the use of high electric fields in CE. Solute adsorption onto the capillary wall was generally considered as the main source of peak dispersion, explaining this plate height increase. However, experiments done with Taylor dispersion analysis and CE in the same conditions indicate that other phenomena may come into play. Protein adsorption with slow kinetics and few adsorption sites was established as a source of peak broadening for specific proteins. Surface charge inhomogeneity was also identified as a contribution to plate height due to local electroosmotic fluctuations. A model was proposed and applied to partial PDADMAC/poly(ethylene oxide) capillary coatings as well as PDADMAC/PSS SMIL coatings. Atomic force microscopy with topography and recognition imaging enabled the determination of roughness and charge distribution of the PDADMAC/PSS SMIL surface.

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
Dendrigraft poly(L-lysine) (DGL) constitutes a promising dendritic-like drug vehicle with high biocompatibility and straightforward access via ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride in water. The characterization of the different generations of DGL is however challenging due to their heterogeneity in molar mass and branching ratio. In this work, free solution capillary electrophoresis was used to perform selective separation of the three first generations of DGL, and optimized conditions were developed to maximize inter-generation resolution. To reduce solute adsorption on the capillary wall, successive multiple ionic polymer layer coatings terminated with a polycation were deposited onto the inner wall surface. PEGylated polycation was also used as the last layer for the control of the electroosmotic flow (EOF), depending on the PEGylation degree and the methyl-polyethylene glycol (mPEG) chain length. 1 kDa mPEG chains and low grafting densities were found to be the best experimental conditions for a fine tuning of the EOF leading to high peak resolution. Molar mass polydispersity and polydispersity in effective electrophoretic mobility were successfully determined for the three first generations of DGL.

Abstract
We report an analytical methodology for the quantification of sulfur in biological molecules via a species-unspecific postcolumn isotope dilution (online ID) approach using capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled online with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (online ID CE/ICP-MS). The method was optimized using a mixture of standard compounds including sulfate, methionine, cysteine, cystine, and albumin, yielding compound recoveries between 98 and 105%. The quantity of sulfur is further converted to the quantity of the compounds owing to the prior knowledge of the sulfur content in the molecules. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of sulfur in the compounds were 1.3-2.6 and 4.1-8.4 mg L-1, respectively, with a correlation coefficient of 0.99 within the concentration range of sulfur of 5-100 mg L-1. The capability of the method was extended to quantify albumin in its native matrix (i.e., in serum) using experimentally prepared serum spiked with a pure albumin standard for validation. The relative expanded uncertainty of the method for the quantification of albumin was 6.7% (k = 2). Finally, we tested the applicability of the method on real samples by the analysis of albumin in bovine and human sera. For automated data assessment, a software application (IsoCor)─which was developed by us in a previous work─was developed further for handling of online ID data. The method has several improvements compared to previously published setups: (i) reduced adsorption of proteins onto the capillary wall owing to a special capillary-coating procedure, (ii) baseline separation of the compounds in less than 30 min via CE, (iii) quantification of several sulfur species within one run by means of the online setup, (iv) SI traceability of the quantification results through online ID, and (v) facilitated data processing of the transient signals using the IsoCor application. Our method can be used as an accurate approach for quantification of proteins and other biological molecules via sulfur analysis in complex matrices for various fields, such as environmental, biological, and pharmaceutical studies as well as clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
2D nanosheets (NSs) have been widely used in drug-related applications. However, a comprehensive investigation into the cytotoxicity mechanism linked to the redox activity is lacking. In this study, with cytochrome c (Cyt c) as the model biospecies, the cytotoxicity of 2D NSs was evaluated systematically based on their redox effect with microfluidic techniques. The interface interaction, dissolution, and redox effect of 2D NSs on Cyt c were monitored with pulsed streaming potential (SP) measurement and capillary electrophoresis (CE). The relationship between the redox activity of 2D NSs and the function of Cyt c was evaluated in vitro with Hela cells. The results indicated that the dissolution and redox activity of 2D NSs can be simultaneously monitored with CE under weak interface interactions and at low sample volumes. Both WS2 NSs and MoS2 NSs can reduce Cyt c without significant dissolution, with reduction rates measured at 6.24 × 10-5 M for WS2 NSs and 3.76 × 10-5 M for MoS2 NSs. Furthermore, exposure to 2D NSs exhibited heightened reducibility, which prompted more pronounced alterations associated with Cyt c dysfunction, encompassing ATP synthesis, modifications in mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased reactive oxygen species production. These observations suggest a positive correlation between the redox activity of 2D NSs and their redox toxicity in Hela cells. These findings provide valuable insight into the redox properties of 2D NSs regarding cytotoxicity and offer the possibility to modify the 2D NSs to reduce their redox toxicity for clinical applications.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) derivatives are extensively utilized as both a preservative for foods and an active gaseous signal molecule in various physiological and pathological processes, but their excessive intake would bring harmful effects on human health; so, the determination of SO2 derivatives is of great importance. Herein, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe named 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole-3-ethyl-1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indolium (HBT-EMBI) by introducing a hemicyanine unit of EMBI to an HBT group for the detection of SO2 derivatives via an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effects. The probe displays some advantages, such as a colorimetric change from purple to colorless, a ratiometric fluorescence with zero cross-talk, and a remarkably large emission shift (Δλ = 164 nm) under a single-wavelength excitation. Accordingly, the probe HBT-EMBI has been successfully employed for the colorimetric and ratiometric determination of SO2 derivatives in real food samples and the quantitative visualization of SO2 derivative variations in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
This review is in support of the development of selective, precise, fast, and validated capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods. It follows up a similar article from 1998, Wätzig H, Degenhardt M, Kunkel A. "Strategies for capillary electrophoresis: method development and validation for pharmaceutical and biological applications," pointing out which fundamentals are still valid and at the same time showing the enormous achievements in the last 25 years. The structures of both reviews are widely similar, in order to facilitate their simultaneous use. Focusing on pharmaceutical and biological applications, the successful use of CE is now demonstrated by more than 600 carefully selected references. Many of those are recent reviews; therefore, a significant overview about the field is provided. There are extra sections about sample pretreatment related to CE and microchip CE, and a completely revised section about method development for protein analytes and biomolecules in general. The general strategies for method development are summed up with regard to selectivity, efficiency, precision, analysis time, limit of detection, sample pretreatment requirements, and validation.

Abstract
This study proposes an eluent-free isolation strategy for the direct isolation of thrombin from whole blood via tandem temperature/pH dual-responsive polyether sulfone monolith and photoreversible DNA nanoswitch-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) aerogel. Temperature/pH dual-responsive microgel immobilized on polyether sulfone monolith was adopted to remove the matrix complexity of blood sample via size/charge screening effect. Photoreversible DNA nanoswitches, comprising thrombin aptamer, aptamer complementary ssDNA (cDNA) and the azobenzene-modified ssDNA (control DNA), were functionalized on MOF aerogel to offer efficient capturing of thrombin under irradiation of ultraviolet light (365 nm), driven by electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions. The release of captured thrombin was easily achieved by changing the complementary behaviors of DNA strands via blue light (450 nm) irradiation. Thrombin with purity higher than 95 % can be directly obtained from whole blood using this tandem isolation procedure. Fibrin production and substrate chromogenic tests showed that the released thrombin possessed high biological activity. The photoreversible thrombin capturing-release strategy is merited with eluent-free, avoiding the loss of activity of thrombin in chemical circumstances and undesired dilution, providing a robust guarantee for subsequent application.

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
Cellular heterogeneity is commonly investigated using single-cell genomics and transcriptomics to investigate biological questions such as disease mechanism, therapeutic screening, and genomic and transcriptomic diversity between cellular populations and subpopulations at the cellular level. Single-cell mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics enables the high-throughput examination of protein expression at the single-cell level with wide applicability, and with spatial and temporal resolution, applicable to the study of cellular development, disease, effect of treatment, etc. The study of single-cell proteomics has lagged behind genomics and transcriptomics largely because proteins from single-cell samples cannot be amplified as DNA and RNA can using well established techniques such as PCR. Therefore, analytical methods must be robust, reproducible, and sensitive enough to detect the very small amount of protein within a single cell. To this end, nearly every step of the proteomics process has been extensively altered and improved to facilitate the proteomics analysis of single cells including cell counting and sorting, lysis, protein digestion, sample cleanup, separation, MS data acquisition, and data analysis. Here, we have reviewed recent advances in single-cell protein separation using nano reversed phase liquid chromatography (nRPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) to inform application driven selection of separation techniques in the laboratory setting.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a versatile analytical separation method in the field of biochemistry. Although it has been proved that the relative molecular mass (Mr) of the polymers determines the threshold concentration of the entangled polymer solution, which will affect the separation performance of DNA molecules, there is still no report on the effect of Mr on the separation performance of proteins. Herein, we have thoroughly performed the CE of proteins ranged from 14.3 kDa to 116 kDa in a mixed hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) solution. The mixed solution was obtained with various Mr including 90,000, 250,000, 720,000, and 1,300,000. Then, we found that the mixed polymer provided a high resolution for small protein molecules while increasing the efficiency of large ones. Results demonstrated that the migration time decreased if HEC (1,300,000) was mixed with the lower Mr one, and the mixed solution (1,300,000/250,000) offered the highest resolution. The resolution was negatively correlated with the electric field strength. Finally, we have employed the optimal electrophoretic conditions to separate proteins in human tears, and it showed that lysozyme, lipocalin, and lactoferrin from human tears were successfully resolved in the mixed HEC. Such work indicates that CE has the potential to be developed as a tool for the diagnosis of xerophthalmia, meibomian gland dysfunction, or other eye diseases.

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
The ever-increasing complexity of biological samples to be analysed by mass spectrometry has led to the necessity of sophisticated separation techniques, including multidimensional separation. Despite a high degree of orthogonality, the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) has not gained notable attention in research. Here, we present a heart-cut nanoLC-CZE-ESI-MS platform to analyse intact proteins. NanoLC and CZE-MS are coupled using a four-port valve with an internal nanoliter loop. NanoLC and CZE-MS conditions were optimised independently to find ideal conditions for the combined setup. The valve setup enables an ideal transfer efficiency between the dimensions while maintaining good separation conditions in both dimensions. Due to the higher loadability, the nanoLC-CZE-MS setup exhibits a 280-fold increased concentration sensitivity compared to CZE-MS. The platform was used to characterise intact human alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), an extremely heterogeneous N-glycosylated protein. With the nanoLC-CZE-MS approach, 368 glycoforms can be assigned at a concentration of 50 μg/mL as opposed to the assignment of only 186 glycoforms from 1 mg/mL by CZE-MS. Additionally, we demonstrate that glycosylation profiling is accessible for dried blood spot analysis (25 μg/mL AGP spiked), indicating the general applicability of our setup to biological matrices. The combination of high sensitivity and orthogonal selectivity in both dimensions makes the here-presented nanoLC-CZE-MS approach capable of detailed characterisation of intact proteins and their proteoforms from complex biological samples and in physiologically relevant concentrations.

Abstract
The review provides a comprehensive overview of developments and applications of high performance capillary and microchip electroseparation methods (zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography) for analysis, microscale isolation, and physicochemical characterization of peptides from 2019 up to approximately the middle of 2021. Advances in the investigation of electromigration properties of peptides and in the methodology of their analysis, such as sample preparation, sorption suppression, EOF control, and detection, are presented. New developments in the individual CE and CEC methods are demonstrated and several types of their applications are shown. They include qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex biomatrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatic reactions and physicochemical changes, amino acid, sequence, and chiral analyses, and peptide mapping of proteins. In addition, micropreparative separations and determination of significant physicochemical parameters of peptides by CE and CEC methods are described.

Abstract
Biopharmaceuticals (recombinant technology-based products, vaccines, whole blood and blood components, gene therapy, cells, tissues, etc.,) are described as biological medical products produced from various living sources such as human, microbial, animal, and so on by manufacturing, extraction, or semi-synthesis. They are complex molecules having high molecular weights. For their safety and efficacy, their structural, clinical, physicochemical, and chemical features must be carefully controlled, and they must be well characterized by analytical techniques before the approval of the final product. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) having versatile modes can provide valuable safety and efficacy information, such as amino acid sequence, size variants (low and high molecular weight variants), charged variants (acidic and basic impurities), aggregates, N-linked glycosylation, and O-linked glycosylation. There are numerous applications of CE in the literature. In this review, the most significant and recent studies on the analysis of recombinant DNA technology-based products using different CE modes in the last ten years have been overviewed. It was seen that the researches mostly focus on the analysis of mAbs and IgG. In addition, in recent years, researchers have started to prefer CE combined mass spectrometry (MS) techniques to provide a more detailed characterization for protein and peptide fragments.

Abstract
Although, in general, the application of coated capillaries is recommended for the separation of intact proteins, bare silica capillary is still the most often used capillary due to its simplicity and cheapness. In this work, the performance of bare fused silica capillary for intact protein analysis was compared to that of different (dynamically coated polybrene (PB) and permanently coated linear polyacrylamide (LPA)) coated capillaries using capillary zone electrophoresis - mass spectrometry (CZE-MS). In cases where low pH (pH=1.8) was used in bare silica capillaries, good precision (0.56-0.78 RSD% and 1.7-6.5 RSD% for migration times and peak areas, respectively), minimal adsorption and separation efficiency (N= 27 000/m - 322 000/m) similar to or even better than those obtained with the coated capillaries (created by an intricate multi-step process) was achieved. The PB and the LPA capillaries demonstrated their slightly better resolving power in terms of separating the different forms/variants of the same protein (e.g., hemoglobin subunits). Among the studied capillaries the one with LPA coating showed the most stable separations in the long term (n=25: 0.18-0.49 RSD% and 3.1-4.9 RSD% for migration times and peak areas, respectively). For the separation of a few proteins or even a larger number of proteins in biological samples (e.g., snake venom) the application of the simple and cheap bare fused silica capillary can be considered as an efficient choice.

Abstract
UV-absorbing neutral substances are commonly used as markers of mean electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis for their zero electrophoretic mobility in an electric field. However, some of these markers can interact with background electrolyte components and migrate at a different velocity than the electroosmotic flow. Thus, we tested 11 markers primarily varying in their degree of methylation and type of central atom in combination with five background electrolyte cations differing in their ionic radii and surface charge density, measuring the relative electrophoretic mobility using thiourea as a reference marker. Our results from this set of experiments showed some general trends in the mobilization of the markers based on the effects of marker structure and type of background electrolyte cation on the relative electrophoretic mobility. As an example, the effects of an inadequate choice of marker on analyte identification were illustrated in the electrophoretic separation of glucosinolates. Therefore, our findings may help electrophoretists appropriately select electroosmotic flow markers for various electrophoretic systems.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide is one of the reactive sulfur species, which has significant physiological functions in cells. Some physiological processes are closely related to SO2 in organisms, and the high concentration of SO2 in living cells can cause many diseases. In order to investigate the unique function of SO2 at the subcellular level, developing a molecular tool which could detect of SO2 within organelles is imperative. Hence, we developed a cationic dye named HQ-SO2 as a new fluorescent probe to specifically monitor SO2 , which was easy to obtain through one-step reaction. It took Michael addition reaction as the mechanism of reaction for detection of SO2 . In addition, this probe showed a series of highly favorable properties such as rapid response rate, low cytotoxicity, high selectivity, low detection limit, and good photostability, which enabled the probe to track SO2 in living cells.
