Impact of post-harvest processing, geographical locality and production year on quality of selected medicinal plants
Burdějová, Lenka; Polovka, M.; Pořízka, J.
2018 - English
This study deals with the assessment of the impact of post-harvest treatment, geographical location and production years on 32 selected characteristics of medicinal plants grown in the Czech Republic. Dimethyl sulfoxide herbal extracts characteristics were evaluated by spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. The results were processed by analysis of variance and multivariate statistical tools. Obtained results clearly proved the successful differentiation of herbal samples by means of canonical discrimination analysis according to post-harvest treatment (100%), geographical origin (82.9%) and production year (96.1%) confirming that studied factors may have significant effect on quality of medicinal plants.

A Validatation of non-invasive method for diagnostic of cystic fibrosis based on ion ratios determined by CE-C4D

A validation of novel approach for diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is presented. The method is very simple and fast, since for collection of samples, only wiping of the skin of forearm is needed. The collected sample is analyzed by capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductometric detection (CE-C4D). Ion ratios are determined as ratios of peak area of chloride anion and peak areas of selected cations. It is possible to distinguish between cystic fibrosis patients and healthy individuals when ion ratio is applied as diagnostic factor. In here, we present analytical parameters of developed method (limits of detection, limits of quantification, repeatability of migration times, repeatability of peak areas) and ROC curve, which reveals high sensitivity and specificity of the developed method.

Droplet-based microfluidic chip with passive mixer for analysis with photon-upconversion nanoparticles
Křivánková, Jana; Přikryl, Jan; Hlaváček, Antonín
2018 - English
Mixing of the fluids in microfluidic chips is important especially in applications, where droplet contents need to be rapidly homogenized. Here, a passive method for mixing in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels is presented. Droplet homogenization was firstly tested with organic stains and subsequently applied for mixing water dispersions of photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs).\n

Measuring photon-upconversion luminiscence from droplets in microfluidic chips
Hlaváček, Antonín; Křivánková, Jana; Přikryl, Jan
2018 - English
UCNPs are lanthanide-doped nanocrystals that can be excited by near-infrared light and emit light of shorter wavelengths. Advantages of UCNPs include multiple and narrow emission bands, negligible autofluorescence and high photostability, which make UCNPs ideal luminescence label for use in droplet microfluidic. Here, we introduce the instrumentation for reading photon-upconversion luminescence of nanoparticles, which are dispersed in water droplets in a microfluidic chip.

A Microfluidic devide for monitoring cell migration
Ledvina, Vojtěch; Klepárník, Karel; Legartová, Soňa; Bártová, Eva
2018 - English
A polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device for monitoring directed cell migration was developed. The device comprises a main channel barred by pillar arrays with decreasing spacing and utilizes chemotactic movement of cells in the direction of increasing gradient of fetal bovine serum. HeLa cell line transfected with Premo FUCCI Cell Cycle Sensor was used as a model organism. The cells were imaged for several days using a scanning confocal microscope and the rate of migration in different cell cycle phases was evaluated.
