Abstract

An improved method for the online preconcentration, derivatization, and separation of phosphorylated compounds was developed based on the affinity of a Phos-tag acrylamide gel formed at the intersection of a polydimethylsiloxane/glass multichannel microfluidic chip toward these compounds. The acrylamide solution comprised Phos-tag acrylamide, acrylamide, and -methylene-bis-acrylamide, while 2,2'-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide] was used as a photocatalytic initiator. The Phos-tag acrylamide gel was formed around the channel crossing point via irradiation with a 365 nm LED laser. The phosphorylated peptides were specifically concentrated in the Phos-tag acrylamide gel by applying a voltage across the gel plug. After entrapment of the phosphorylated compounds in the Phos-tag acrylamide gel, 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl)aminofluorescein (DTAF) was introduced to the gel for online derivatization of the concentrated phosphorylated compounds. The online derivatized DTAF-labeled phosphorylated compounds were eluted by delivering a complex of phosphate ions and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid as the separation buffer. This method enabled sensitive analysis of the phosphorylated peptides.
