Full textThe purpose of this study was to compare the traditional KPIC method for staining sperm to modern fluorescent techniques employed by SPERM HY-LITERTM. Factors such as staining time, sperm recovery, and the ability to quickly and accurately count sperm were evaluated. Dilutions ranging from 1:2 to 1:10,000,000 of semen, post-coital swabs and sperm/epithelial cell suspensions were stained with SPERM HY-LITERTM, SPERM HY-LITERTM Express and KPIC. Case work samples were also analyzed with KPIC and SPERM HY-LITERTM. The sperm counts for the more concentrated dilutions of semen and sperm/e-cell samples were statistically similar in both KPIC and SPERM HY-LITERTM. However, post-coital samples stained with SPERM HY-LITERTM were statistically different than samples stained with KPIC, resulting in the observation of fewer cells. Similar results were observed with SPERM HY-LITERTM Express as well as with case work samples stained with SPERM HY-LITERTM. Although SPERM HY-LITERTM has the benefits of quicker and easier scanning due to the fluorescent filters, it is considerably more costly to employ and did not result in greater sperm recovery. Overall, KPIC provided the best results in the shortest amount of time and within a reasonable budget.

Full textIn eukaryotes, DNA replication starts at multiple origins that are activated following a specific program. Population methods allow genome-wide analysis of DNA replication. However, single-molecule methods are required to monitor cell-to-cell variability, detect rare events and measure individual replication fork speeds. With the existing techniques, newly-synthesized DNA is labelled with thymidine analogs and revealed with fluorescent antibodies. Fibres containing a locus of interest can be identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization. These steps are complex and the throughput is low. This work proposes novel, antibody-free tools to detect replication tracts and identify the locus of origin of all DNA molecules at much higher throughput. DNA replicated in the presence of a fluorescent dUTP was purified and specifically barcoded by using a nicking endonuclease, followed by limited nick-translation with another fluorescent dUTP. This allowed alignment to a reference genome map. DNA was then stained with the fluorescent DNA intercalator YOYO-1. Direct epifluorescence revealed the DNA molecules, their replication tracts and their barcodes in three distinct colours. Replicated segments showed a stronger YOYO-1 fluorescence, demonstrating that replication bubbles can be directly detected without metabolic labelling. Finally, these tools were coupled to a nanofluidic device: DNA was driven into 13,000 parallel nanochannels and automatically imaged, massively increasing the throughput. Altogether, these results provide a starting point for genome-wide, single-molecule mapping of DNA replication in eukaryotic organisms

Full textThe purpose of our work was the development of new analytical methodologies to measure the benefit of liver transplantation and also the evaluation of new therapeutic approaches under testing on patients with Transtyretin (TTR) familial amyloid polyneuropathy. This rare disease is characterized by a structural destabilization of TTR tetramer leading to it’s aggregation into amyloïd fibrils that accumulate in the tissues of the autonomous nervous system, peripheral nerves and around certain organs, including the heart. As part of a collaboration between university, hospital, analytical chemists, electrochemist, physical chemists and technologists, we are committed to develop separations in capillary electrophoresis coupled with optical detection of native and mutated peptides that are directly associated with a variant of this rare disease. The first challenge of this research is the choice of these biomarkers that ultimately proved relevant with the realization of peptide maps from the serum. Then two approaches have been explored: electrokinetic separation with absorbance spectrometric detection in the ultraviolet and the other requiring the prior labeling peptides with fluorescent molecules and then to a separation on electrophoresis coupled with LIF (Laser induced fluorescence). In both cases the main criterion of separation, resolution, allows quantification and especially analytical validations show actual strength associated methodologies developed. Another encouraging sign for the transposition of these methods to the analysis of samples from patients regarding the quantification limit is lower than commonly measured in serum. Mass spectrometry, using physico-chemical investigation powerful allowed to follow and understand a more fundamental viewpoint the product of organic chemistry reactions bypass peptides by three fluorescent dyes: TAMRA-SE, the NDA and FQ. The ability to provide a miniaturized analysis and easy to use tool for the hospital environment was also studied. A post analysis on microfluidic chip for quantitative and qualitative analysis was installed to allow the realization of the first experimental tests of electrokinetic separations on microfluidic chip. These studies lay the foundation for a new analytical way to separate and quantify the different characteristics biomarkers family TTR amyloid polyneuropathy

Recent approaches in analytical separations are being advanced towards the “lab-on-a-chip” concept in which multiple lab functions are integrated into micro/nano fluidic platforms. Among the variety of separation techniques that can be implemented on microfluidic devices, capillary electrophoresis is the most popular as it provides high efficiency, simple, fast and low cost separations. In addition, integrating miniaturized fluid manipulation tools into microfluidic devices with separations is essential for a variety of biological applications. Chapter 1 discusses the fundamentals of capillary electrophoresis and miniaturized fluid manipulation tools and provides an over view of single cell analysis in microfluidics. In chapter 2, the integration of miniaturized peristaltic pumps into multilayer microfluidic platforms is discussed. In addition, device characterization, precise fluid control and high throughput single cell analysis are discussed. As a proof of principle, T-lymphocytes were loaded with two fluorescent probes Carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA) and Oregon green (OG). Thousands of single cells were automatically transported, lysed on these devices and analytes from the lysate were electrophoretically separated. 1120 cells were analyzed over the course of 80 min (14 cells/min) and separation characteristics of analytes released from individual cells were investigated. In the third chapter, the development of microfluidic platforms for the electrochemical detection of nitric oxide (NO) and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS) at the single cell level is discussed. A microfluidic system was developed to perform rapid cell lysis followed by electrochemical detection. Miniaturized microband electrodes were designed and integrated with a microfluidic separation channel. Three alignment techniques (in-channel, end-channel and off-channel configurations) were used to detect the electrochemical response of the analyte of interest. Furthermore, a model analyte (CFDA) was used to demonstrate the potential of performing the simultaneous dual detection with electrochemical and laser induced fluorescence detection. In addition, the same microfluidic platform was adapted to detect intracellular superoxide using laser induced fluorescence. In the fourth chapter, the off-chip integration of optical fiber bridges with multilayer microfluidic chips is discussed. A multimode optical fiber (~10cm long) was integrated between the single cell lysing spot and a spot downstream of the separation channel in order to detect both intact cells and the analyte in the lysate. This technique was used to create two detection spots on the microfluidic platform with the use of a single excitation source and single detector. Fluorescently labeled T-lymphocytes were automatically transported and lysed in a manner similar to that described in chapter 2. Hundreds of single cells were analyzed and the absolute migration time was determined for the analytes in the lysate. In addition, the separation characteristics of fluorescently labeled protein kinase B peptide substrates were investigated. Furthermore, this technique was used to measure cell size and the velocity of intact cells (discussed in 5th chapter) by making use of a light tunneling concept available in multimode optical fibers. All the experiments presented in this dissertation exploit the use of multilayer microfluidic platforms to investigate intracellular components in single cells in a high throughput manner that has several advantages over current conventional techniques.

An electric circuit model is developed for characterizing the electrical behavior of fluorescent lamps with dimming operation at high frequencies. The proposed model can be simply derived from three sets of measured data. This model can be used for predicting circuit behavior of dimmable electronic ballasts, and then to determine the circuit parameters and the adequate operating ranges. An electronic ballast with the series resonant inverter is built to realize two dimming operation methods, voltage control and frequency control. The design considerations including operating frequency, starting voltage, filament current, and control sensitivity factor are discussed in detail. Experimental tests are found to be quite in agreement with the simulation results based on the proposed model.

Phenylenediamines were ingredients that used as permanent hair dyes. These compounds were reported to cause allergic dermatitis and have genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Therefore, o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) were prohibited to use and the limitation concentrations of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and toluene-2,5-diamine (PTD) were 2% and 4% in permanent hair dye products in Taiwan. To improve sensitivity, the fluorescent derivatization strategy and micellar electrokinetic chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection (MEKC-LIF) were established to analyze OPD, MPD, PPD and PTD in hair dye products, hair samples and percutaneous absorption experiment. 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl) aminofluorescein (DTAF) was used as a fluorescent reagent and derived at amino groups of phenylenediamines and underwent nucleophilic substitution reaction. Derivatization solution contained phenylenediamines, DTAF, and internal standard (1-Aminoadamantane hydrochloride, 1-AD) in alkaline conditions. The derivatization condition reacted at 90℃ for 10 minutes. The derivatives were analyzed by MEKC equipped with LIF detection (excitation wavelength: 488 nm; emission wavelength: 520 nm). The optimized separation conditions were as following: separation buffer was 20 mM borate (pH 8.0) containing 10 mM Brij 35 and 35% (v/v) MeOH. Sample was injected at 0.5 psi for 15 sec. The separation voltage was 20 kV. The limit of detections (S/N = 3) for MPD, PTD, PPD and OPD were 25, 25, 50 and 100 nM, respectively. Comparing to previous studies, the sensitivity enhancements were from 30-fold to 81-fold. The correlation coefficients of intra-day and inter-day analysis were all above 0.997. This method showed good linearity from 0.125 to 5.000 μM. Moreover, the relative standard deviation and relative error were less than 4.56% and 4.97%, respectively, with high precision and accuracy. The high sensitive MEKC-LIF method was successfully established and applied to determine the content of phenylenediamines in commercial hair dye products, hair and percutaneous absorption samples.

The goal of this study is to synthesize functional magnetic particles and combine with immunosorbent assay for biochemical analysis. The sizes of magnetic nanoparticles were 40nm, 80 nm and 150nm, and SiO2 coated Fe3O4 were 80nm, 150 nm and 200nm. Streptavidin or IgG was bound onto Fe3O4@SiO2 particles. Biotin or protein A was covalently bound to fluorescent marker, and applied to magnetic separation in microplate. We studied experimental parameters of magnetic particles size、and particles number for immunoassay. Preliminary study of immunoassay between particles was studied to demonstrate the potential application of this method for biochemical analysis. The interactions of streptavidin-biotin and IgG-protein A that coating on particles was studied. Experimental parameters were studied under different conditions of the particle size and the number of particles. The streptavidin-conjugated magnetic beads and IgG-conjugated magnetic beads can capture fluorescent silica particles labeled with biotin and protein A in the 96 well plate under magnetic filed. The selectivity is high with controlled experiments.

The stability of the fluorescent lamp and ballast system is
investigated in this thesis. Fluorescent lamps are gas discharge
lamps. Based on its v-i characteristic curve derived by experimental
results, it reveals that the dynamics of the lamp is a negative
incremental impedance at high frequencies. The small-signal model of
the lamp is obtained by using the modified Francis first-order
differential equation described the behavior of the lamp.
Interestingly, the mathematical model is non-minimum phase with a
right-half plane zero. As a result, the lamp is regarded as a
current controlled device. A current source is thereby applied to
the lamp to stabilize the overall system. The electronic ballast is composed of power transistors and
resonant circuit. Three resonant circuits under investigation are LC
series resonant circuit, LC parallel resonant circuit, and LCC
series and parallel resonant circuit. The phasor transformation is
applied to derive the small-signal model of the resonant circuits.
First, the circuit is transformed from the time domain into the
phasor domain. Then according to the equivalent phasor-domain
circuit, the transfer function is derived by the exact method and
approximate method presented in this thesis. Notably, the transfer
function of the equivalent phasor-domain circuit of the resonant
circuit can be simplified to be first-order lowpass filter on the
basis of the approximate method. According to the small-signal model of the lamp and the first-
order lowpass filter of the resonant circuit, the stability of
system can be analyzed by Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Three systems for
stability investigation are resistive ballast for dc operation,
traditional inductive ballast for utility power of 60 Hz, and
electronic ballast for a square wave power source of 50 kHz
generated from the inverter. The theoretical analysis is validated
by experimental results. For a practical engineer, the theoretical analysis and
experimental results in this thesis are helpful to gain insights of
the electronic ballast design.
