The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need of eco-friendly and locally or distributed manufacturing of diagnostic and safety products. Here, we characterized five handmade papers for their potential application to make paper analytical device (PADs). The handmade papers were made from locally available plant fiber using eco-friendly method. Thickness, grammage, and apparent density of the paper samples ranged from 198 μm to 314 μm, 49 g/m2 to 117.8 g/m2, and 0.23 to 0.39 g/cm3, respectively. Moisture content, water filtration and wicking speed ranged from 5.2% to 7.1%, 35.7 to 156.7, and 0.062 to 0.124 mms-1, respectively. Further, water contact angle and porosity ranged from 76˚ to 112˚ and 79% to 83%, respectively. The best paper sample one was chosen to fabricate PADs which were used for the determination of metformin. The metformin assay on PADs followed linear range from 0.0625 to 0.5 mg/mL. The assay had limit of detection and limit of quantitation of 0.05 mg/mL and 0.18 mg/mL respectively. The new method was used to test metformin samples (n=20) collected from local pharmacies. The average amount of metformin concentration in samples was 465.6 ± 15.1mg/tablet. Three samples did not meet the regulatory standards. When compared with spectrophotometric method, PADs assay correctly predicted 18 out of 20 samples. The PADs assay on handmade paper may provide a low-cost and easy-to-use system to screening the quality of drugs and other point-of-need applications.

Abstract A sweeping micellar electrokinetic chromatography (sweeping-MEKC) method was developed for the determination of 1,7-naphthalenediol, 2,3-naphthalenediol, 1,5-naphthalenediol and 2,7-naphthalenediol in cosmetics. Several parameters affecting sweeping-MEKC method were studied systematically and the separation conditions were optimized as 20 mM NaH2PO4–110 mM SDS and 40% (v/v) MeOH (pH 2.4), with −22 kV applied voltage and UV detection at 230 nm. The sample matrix is 60 mmol L−1 NaH2PO4 and sample introduction was performed at 3 psi for 6 s. Separation of the four naphthalenediols was completed in less than 17 min. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) are 0.0045∼0.0094 μg mL−1 and 0.015∼0.031 μg mL−1. Linear relationship (r 2 > 0.999) is satisfactory at the range of 0.1–10 μg mL−1. The developed method has been successfully applied to the determination of the four naphthalenediols in real cosmetic samples, with recoveries in foundation, sun cream and lotion in the range of 92.3%∼106.8% and relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 4.15%. A HPLC method described in the National Standards of the People’s Republic of China was carried out for the comparison with the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed sweeping-MEKC method has the advantages of fast, low cost with comparative sensitivity.

A new ultraviolet derivative spectrophotometry (UVDS) method has been developed for determination of reserpine in antihypertension tablets. A first-order UVDS based on the measurement of the distance between peaks to baseline (DZ) at the wavelength of 312 nm was used. Evaluation of analytical performance showed that accuracy as percentage recovery was 99.18-101.13%, precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.91% and linear correlation was also obtained 0.9998 in the range of 10-50 µg/mL. Estimation of limit of detection and limit of quantitation was 0.8868 µg/mL and 2.6874 µg/mL, respectively. As a reference method, HPLC methods from United States Pharmacopiea (USP) were used. Commercially tablets available were analyzed by the two methods. The content of reserpine in tablets was found 0.2260±0.0033 mg by UVDS and 0.2301±0.0051 mg by the USP methods. The result obtained from the two methods was compared statistically using F-test and t-test and showed no significant differences between the variance and mean values of the two methods at 95% confidence level. This method was faster, easier, low cost and gave result as well as the reference method published by USP.

Abstract Background Measurement of plasma aldosterone and renin concentration, or activity, is useful for selecting antihypertensive agents anddetecting hyperaldosteronism in hypertensive patients. However, it takes several days to get results even if measured by inaccurateradioimmunoassay, or we must accept high-cost LC/MS, and development of a more rapid and accurate substitute has been long hoped. We havedeveloped a novel, fully-automated, high-quantitative noncompetitive chemiluminescence immunoassay (NC-CLEIA) for detecting aldosterone inserum and plasma, and its performance is evaluated as compared to LC/MS measurement. Methods Recently a unique anti-metatype antibody,which recognizes the immunocomplex of aldosterone and its monoclonal antibody, was established. Using this antibody for sensing permittedthe construction of non-competitive assay for the detection of aldosterone. The reaction protocol of novel aldosterone assay is the following. Inthe 1st reaction, aldosterone in patient’s sample is captured on anti-body coated magnetic particles. Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antimetatypeantibody is added and incubated as 2nd reaction following a wash. Then substrate solution is added after washing immunocomplex.The resulting reaction signals are proportional to the amount of aldosterone in the sample allowing quantitative determination of in serum orplasma sample. The overall reaction is completed within 30 min. Results Limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantitation(LoQ) of our NC-CLEIA aldosterone assay were 0.09 ng/dL, 0.21 ng/dL and 0.57 ng/dL, respectively. NC-CLEIA aldosterone measurements werelinearly well correlated with LC/MS aldosterone measurements (N = 130, y = 1.027x - 0.23 ng/dL, Spearman’s ρ = 0.996, P< 0.0001). Bland-Altmanplot analysis between NC-CLEIA and LC-MS/MS of aldosterone revealed a bias of 0.40 ng/dL with the limits of agreement of -4.60 and 5.41 ng/dLwith 95% confidence interval. Conclusion Our novel NC-CLEIA aldosterone assay was well-correlated and had only a very low bias with LC-MS/MSmethod and also was able to accurately quantify low level samples even in essential hypertension patients. This aldosterone assay can be a most equivalent to LC-MS/MS measurement with a low cost of 12 $ and a short measuring time of 30 minutes.

Abstract An accurate, rapid, simple, and novel technique was developed to determine simvastatin (SMV). In this research, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) was deposited with graphene oxide (GO) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively. For the first time, the handmade modified SPE measured the SMV by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The results of cyclic voltammetry indicated the oxidation irreversible process of SMV. Various parameters (pH, concentration, scan rate, support electrolyte) were performed to optimize the conditions for the determination of SMV. Under the optimum experiment condition of 0.1 M KNO3 as support electrolyte and pH 7.0, the linear range was achieved for SMV concentration from 1.8 to 36.6 µM with a limit of detection (LOD), and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.06 and 1.8 µM, respectively. The proposed method was successfully utilized to determine SMV in tablets and urine samples with a satisfactory recovery in the range of 96.2 to 103.3%.
