Chemical vapor generation of cadmium: detector comparison
Sagapova, Linda; Štádlerová, Barbora; Svoboda, Milan; Kratzer, Jan; Musil, Stanislav
2021 - English
A chemical vapor generation system was connected to an in-house assembled atomic fluorescence spectrometer (AFS) equipped with a miniature diffusion flame atomizer in order to assess its potential to Cd determination. Subsequently, analytical performance of three spectrometric detectors was compared (AAS, AFS, ICP-MS) with respect to Cd determination after volatile species generation.

Bioluminescence determination of caspase-3/7 in single osteosarcoma cells
Killinger, Michael; Matalová, Eva; Klepárník, Karel
2021 - English
The protein heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been recognized to be vital for an understanding of various life processes during animal development. In addition, the knowledge of accurate quantity of relevant proteins at cellular level is essential for appropriate interpretation of diagnostic and therapeutic results. Here, we determined the level of active caspase-3/7 in physiological and pathological (cancer) conditions by our miniaturized instrumentation.

Photochemical vapor generation of cobalt for detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
Vyhnanovský, Jaromír; Musil, Stanislav
2020 - English
Volatile species of cobalt were generated in a flow-injection system, employing a high-efficiency flow-through UV photoreactor and a formic acid based medium. Optimal generation conditions were found as 10% (v/v) formic acid and 4 mol/L ammonium formate at a flow rate of 4 ml/min.

Fast and highly sensitive laser scanner for recording photon-upconversion luminiscence from planar surfaces
Hlaváček, Antonín; Křivánková, Jana; Foret, František
2020 - English
Photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are lanthanide-doped nanocrystals that can be excited by nearinfrared light and emit photon-upconversion luminescence of shorter wavelengths. Advantages of UCNPs include near-infrared excitation, multiple and narrow emission bands, negligible autofluorescence and high stability, which make UCNPs ideal luminescence label for use in biological and chemical assays. These assays - e.g. upconversion-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, lateral flow assay, gel electrophoresis, thin layer chromatography - commonly require the scanning of a planar surface with a high spatial resolution and an excellent sensitivity. The availability of commercial equipment is recently limited because of the novelty of the photon-upconversion phenomenon. Therefore, we report on the construction of photon-upconversion laser scanner. The scanner consists of a laser scanning head, which is attached to a xy-moving stage. The scanning head itself is constructed as an epiluminescence detector with excitation wavelength of 976 nm. A CCD array spectroscope is connected to the laser head and serves as a sensitive detector of photon-upconversion luminescence. The scanner possesses a spatial resolution of 200 μm, the scanning rate is up to 57 points per second and the sensitivity reaches down to single photon-upconversion nanoparticle.

Photon-upconversion scanner for multiplexed imaging
Hlaváček, Antonín; Křivánková, Jana; Foret, František
2020 - English
In analytical chemistry, multiplexed assays facilitate parallel detection of analytes. The multiplexing reduces the consumption of sample, reagents, and other resources and can be applied for medical diagnostics, the studies of biomolecule interactions, single-cell and singlemolecule assays, environmental monitoring, pathogen detection, multiparameter chemical and biological assays and screening of chemical libraries.

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have a widespread use in industry, chemistry, in production of electronic devices and as an antimicrobial agent. Although copper is an important biogenic element, CuO NPs are toxic with the ability to induce oxidative stress, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest or DNA damage. For humans, the inhalation route is the most common way of exposure to CuO NPs. In the body, CuO NPs may be either deposited in the lungs, or transported to other organs. Their presence usually causes oxidative stress or inflammatory responses, consequently leading to DNA damage. In this study, we investigated the effect of CuO NPs inhalation on DNA damage in a group of researches conducting animal exposure experiments. The subjects were exposed to various metal oxide nanoparticles, including CuO NPs, by inhalation for an average of 4.9 ± 0.4 years. The average mass concentration of Cu in the air during the experiment was 7.3 ± 3.2 ng/m3. Subjects not exposed to nanoparticles served as a control group. We applied micronucleus assay using Human Pan Centromeric probes to detect DNA damage and to distinguish between the frequency of centromere positive (CEN+) and centromere negative (CEN−) micronuclei (MN) in the binucleated cells. We\ndid not find differences between both groups for either mean MN frequency (10.38 ± 2.50 vs. 11.88 ± 3.01 MN/1000 binucleated cells), or CEN+/CEN- ratio (58%/42% vs. 55%/45%), for the exposed and controls, respectively. In conclusion, inhalation of CuO NPs at this low-level exposure had no effect on chromosomal losses and/or breaks.
