Article Abstract
Proteomic biomarker discovery using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue requires robust workflows to support the analysis of large cohorts of patient samples. It also requires finding a reasonable balance between achieving a high proteomic depth and limiting the overall analysis time. To this end, we evaluated the merits of online coupling of single-use disposable trap column nanoflow liquid chromatography, high-field asymmetric-waveform ion-mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), and tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-FAIMS-MS/MS). The data show that ≤600 ng of peptide digest should be loaded onto the chromatographic part of the system. Careful characterization of the FAIMS settings enabled the choice of optimal combinations of compensation voltages (CVs) as a function of the employed LC gradient time. We found nLC-FAIMS-MS/MS to be on par with StageTip-based off-line basic pH reversed-phase fractionation in terms of proteomic depth and reproducibility of protein quantification (coefficient of variation ≤15% for 90% of all proteins) but requiring 50% less sample and substantially reducing sample handling. Using FFPE materials from the lymph node, lung, and prostate tissue as examples, we show that nLC-FAIMS-MS/MS can identify 5000-6000 proteins from the respective tissue within a total of 3 h of analysis time.

Surface-acoustic-wave (SAW)-driven acoustic tweezers (ATs) have been widely explored for high-resolution ultrasonic sample manipulation. Among these, hybrid ATs comprising a reusable SAW chip and a disposable glass or silicon microfluidic (MF) chip as a superstrate offer advantages such as reduced experimental costs and minimized cross-contamination between experiments. However, maximizing the acoustic pressure within the MF channel requires efficient acoustic coupling between the SAW and the MF structure.

Background: Since their initial release in 2009, single-use flexible bronchoscopes (SUFBs) have significantly evolved from simple tools largely used for airway inspection with limited functionality to highly advanced instruments with the same capabilities as reusable flexible bronchoscopes (RFBs). Despite this, scrutiny still exists. The purpose of this study was to better understand the performance and preference of six industry leading SUFBs.

Plastic wastes -including cigarette butts (CBs)- are dangerous for marine ecosystems not only because they contain hazardous chemicals but also because they can finally turn into micro- or even nano-particles that may be ingested by micro- and macro-fauna. Even large pieces of plastics can trap animals. In this research, the pollution status of macroplastics (abundance, size, type, and colour) and cigarette butts (CBs, number/m) on the northern coasts of the Persian Gulf has been investigated.

A non-invasive condensation collection-ion chromatography method was established for the determination of organic acids and anions including lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, pyruvic acid, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, and sulfate in the exhaled breath of humans. The breath exhaled was condensed and collected using a home-made exhaled breath condensation equipment. This equipment included a disposable mouthpiece as a blow-off port, one-way valve and flow meter, cold trap, disposable condensate collection tube placed in the cold trap, and gas outlet.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how different types of masks—N95, KN95, medical surgical masks, and disposable medical masks—trap airborne organophosphate esters (OPEs) over time.
- Laboratory tests revealed that N95 masks were more effective at trapping OPEs compared to the other masks, showing a decline in efficiency over a 24-hour period.
- Field investigations confirmed that N95 masks also accumulated the highest levels of OPEs in various microenvironments, particularly in trains, highlighting their potential as both protective gear and indicators of indoor pollution.
