Novel enzymatic microsystems have strong prospects in chemical and biological analysis due to their low consumption of reagents, fast analysis time, easy manipulation and satisfactory portability. Nano-materials (NMs) provide a favorable platform for integrating enzymes into microsystems with enhanced selectivity and sensitivity. Various NM-enzyme immobilization strategies applied in the fabrication of capillary-based and chip-based enzymatic microsystems are summarized in this manuscript. We focus on highlighting the advantages of employing NM-based enzymatic microsystems for enantioseparation, inhibitor screening, bioreaction and biosensing. Innovative nanocomposites and NM-functionalized monoliths used to construct multienzymatic microsystems are also illustrated. The general development trend identified in this review indicates that the application of NMs has significantly improved enzymatic microsystem performance. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

Miniaturized ascorbic acid assay platform based on point discharge atomic emission spectrometry coupling with gold filament enrichment

Yanping Wang, Yuemei Chen, Kejun Li, Jinrong Zhou, Xin Yuan, Mei Zhang, Ke Huang

Summary: In this work, a portable analytical system based on point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) coupling with gold filament enrichment was designed. The highly sensitive analysis of Hg2+ indirectly realized the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The measurement is based on the fact that Ag+ can decrease the concentration of Hg2+ by forming Ag-Hg amalgam in the presence of the reductant SnCl2, while AA can pre-reduce Ag+ to Ag0, leading to the generation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The developed novel analytical strategy broadens the application of microplasma-based AES and offers a higher level of sensitivity compared to current AA detection techniques.
