Abstract:

A simple method for the detection of glutathione(GSH) in single human erythrocyte was developed by using on-chip labeling by adding the 2,3-naphthalene-dicarboxaldehyde(NDA) simply in microchip electrophoresis buffer,with functional integration of cell sampling,single cell loading docking,lysing,dynamic labeling,electrophoresis separation and LIF detection.After lysing,the reaction between the released GSH and NDA included in electrophoresis buffer can be completed within a migrating distance of 0.5 cm in separation channel during electrophoresis.The average separation efficiency for GSH was 2.4×106 plates/m) which was not significantly different from off-chip derivatization.The GSH migration time on the on-chip mode and off-chip method were 116 s and 110 s,respectively.The present method can minimize the dilution of the contents of single cell during derivatization,simplify the cell treatment and save the sample and reagent.A half life of 5 days of GSH in human erythrocyte was found by using this method.
