Article Abstract

In this commentary, we focused our attention on capillary electrophoresis. It achieves the efficient separation of molecular species by the application of high voltages to samples in solution. Actually, capillary electrophoresis can be performed on microchip devices, based on an automated and miniaturized electrophoresis system, based on lab-on-a-chip technology. By this technology it is possible to separate nucleic acid fragments (DNA or RNA) with respect to sizing accuracy and sizing resolution. Currently, two automated capillary electrophoresis on microchips devices are available: the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and the Experion™ Automated Electrophoresis System. In this study, we evaluated if the CE is able to distinguish the three uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 TATA-box genotypes.

Background: Light chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a malignant hematological disease characterized by bone marrow infiltration by tumor plasma cells and the secretion of monoclonal free light chains (κ or λ). It is often di-agnosed through hypogammaglobulinemia detected by serum protein electrophoresis, followed by immunotyping showing a monoclonal band in free light chains. However, the structure of monoclonal light chains can sometimes complicate laboratory findings.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and integrity index of circulating cell-free DNA (ccf-DNA) as biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Comparison with a validated methodology for the quantification of monoclonal rearrangements of the IGH gene was made. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were collected from 10 pediatric patients with B-ALL at diagnosis, remission, and maintenance phases.

The Hidden Influence: Impacts of Residual Dimethylformamide in NDSB-211 on icIEF Separation for Monoclonal Antibodies.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) present analytical challenges due to their inherent heterogeneity and susceptibility to post-translational modifications (PTMs) during production and storage. Monitoring of charge heterogeneity profiles by imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) has been aided by the use of non-detergent sulfobetaines (NDSBs), particularly NDSB-211, to enhance protein solubility and stability. When used in a quality control laboratory setting, NDSB-211 has shown performance variability over time due to residual manufacturing impurities that impact the capillary isoelectric focusing separation.
