Detection format

Optical sensors based on spectroscopy of guided waves have been demonstrated for detection and identification of numerous chemical and biological analytes. The choice of detection format for a particular application depends on the size of target analyte molecules, binding characteristics of available biomolecular recognition element, and range of analyte s concentrations to be measured.

A special, isotope-labeled case of the azide-tetrazole equilibrium was studied by Cmoch et al. <2000JP0480>, and the results are shown in Scheme 23. 2-Chloro-3-nitropyridine 86 was treated with potassium azide containing a doubly labeled (15NN15N) azide anion. The authors detected formation of two differently labeled tetrazolopyridines the 2,4- 87 and the 1,3-labeled 88 derivatives. 

Based apparently on the same principle as described above, suitable but rather expensive kits exploiting monovalent Fab fragments to block endogenous tissue immunoglobulins have also been developed commercially, such as Mouse-on-Mouse (M.O.M. ) Kits by Vector Laboratories (http //www.vectorlabs.com/). Three Vector M.O.M. kits are available. These kits use the same blocking technology and biotin-avidin detection format, but offer a choice of using either an enzyme-based or fluorescent-based visualization method.

Major chemical contaminants implicated in food safety include pesticides, herbicides, myeotoxins and antibiotics. These analytes have been targeted by numerous groups developing SPR biosensors. As these analytes are rather small (typical molecular weight < 1,000), inhibition assay has been a preferred detection format. Examples of chemical contaminants detected by SPR biosensors include pesticides atrazine and simazine (detection limits 0.05 ng/ml and 0.1 ng/ml respectively), mycotoxin Fumonisin B1 (detection limit 50 ng/ml ), and antibiotics Sulphamethazine, Sulphadiazine (detection limits 1 ng/ml and 20 ng/ml respectively).

The reaction of ketone 243 with hydroxyamine resulted in the formation of oxime 244. Treatment of this oxime with polyphosphoric acid induced the Beckmann rearrangement of oxime 244 to form lactam 245 without detectable formation of isomeric lactam (Scheme 43) <1997JHG921>. Other examples of the Beckmann rearrangement of pyran and thiane derivatives have been reported <2004BML5907, 2004TL1051, 2005JOC10132>.

In this case the IR spectrum of the dianion remains unchanged, showing that there is no detectable formation of Rh—H bonds but only of hy-dronium ions (43). 

Since the a-directing power is more pronounced in furan than in thiophene (see Section III,A, 2), the preference for substitution at C-5 is here reinforced. Substitution in 2-alkylfurans actually occurs at this position in all cases and no detectable formation of other isomers is observed.1... 

Shimizu et al. used simple rhodium-aqua ions (Rh3+) immobilized onto polymer-modified electrodes to perform the electrochemical reduction of NAD+ [114]. Rh3+ was loaded onto polymeric anion doped-polypyrrole membranes coated on the surface. Electrochemical reduction of NAD+ with immobilized Rh3+ was performed at —0.85 V, where Rh3+ was reduced to Rh+. NADH was produced without detectable formation of NAD-dimers.
