Development of a theoretical model for chromatographic-based competitive binding immunoassays with simultaneous: Injection of sample and label

Abstract: This study examined the theory and behavior of an HPLC-based chromatographic competitive binding immunoassay with the simultaneous injection of sample and a labeled analyte analogue. Equations based on nonlinear chromatographic theory were derived to describe the calibration curve for this assay in a system with adsorption-limited kinetics and homogeneous binding sites. These equations related the assay response (B/Bo) to the column's binding capacity, the moles of injected analyte or labeled analogue, and the flow rate/adsorption kinetics of the system. There was good agreement between the predicted theoretical response and experimental data obtained for the binding of human serum albumin (HSA) to an immobilized anti-HSA antibody column. This theory was also successful in describing the changes that occurred in the calibration curve when the flow rate or amount of labeled analogue applied to the column was varied. A comparison was made between the results of this study and previous theoretical work that examined the behavior of a related, sequential injection competitive binding method. On the basis of the results reported in this work, several general guidelines were developed for the design and optimization of simultaneous injection methods for use in such areas as clinical testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and environmental monitoring.

Flow-Injection Simultaneous Chemiluminescence Determination of Ascorbic Acid and L-Cysteine with Partial Least Squares Calibration

Abstract: In this paper, a flow-injection chemiluminescence system is proposed for simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and L-cysteine with partial least squares calibration. This method is based on the fact that both AA and Cys can quantitatively reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, and that the reaction rates of AA and Cys with Fe3+ are different. The reduced product Fe2+ was detected with the luminol-Fe2+–O2 CL system. The CL intensity was measured and recorded at different reaction times of Fe3+ with AA and Cys, and the obtained data was processed by the chemometric approach of partial least squares. The experimental calibration set was composed of 16 sample solutions using an orthogonal calibration design for two component mixtures. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 0.06∼6 µg mL−1 and 0.4∼40 µg mL−1 for ascorbic acid and L-cysteine, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of both analytes in pharmaceutical formulations and human urine samples.

Determination of Amorphous Phase in Quartz Powder by X-Ray Powder Diffractometry

Abstract: A powder diffraction method was applied to the quantitative analysis of amorphous silica in several quartz powders. Two calibration methods, i.e., direct analysis and the standard addition method were examined. Calibration mixtures were made by mixing a standard silica gel powder ground to under 5 μm particle size with a matrix quartz powder which was ground to 10 to 40 μm particle size and treated with NaOH solution to remove the amorphous phase caused by grinding. Intensity of the amorphous halo was measured at 23.0° 2θ, and the background intensity at 53.0° 2θ was subtracted. Linear calibration curves were obtained over the ranges of 0 to 50 wt% by direct analysis and 0 to 20 wt% by standard addition methods, respectively. The analytical results obtained by the two calibration methods were in good agreement with each other. The relative standard deviations for 4.3 wt% of amorphous silica were 4.6% by the direct analysis and 5.4% by the standard addition method. These methods were successfully applied to a correction of reference intensity ratios (RIR) for several quartz powders containing amorphous silica. After the correction for amorphous content, the relative standard deviations of the RIR values for quartz powders became smaller.
