The study achieved rapid and effective quantitation of carnosine and nicotinamide in cosmetics by using cyclic olefin copolymer microchips with both dynamic and static coatings. The static coating improved the hydrophilicity of the surface and prevented nonspecific peptide adsorption, while the dynamic coating adjusted flow velocity and enhanced column efficiency. The method showed potential in complex sample analysis.
Cosmetics having medicinal effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, have become a daily care routine consumption. The peptide additives, such as carnosine and nicotinamide, were frequently used to realize these medicinal effects. To accomplish rapid and effective quantitation of carnosine and niacinamide in cosmetics, capillary zone electrophoresis was executed in cyclic olefin copolymer microchips having both dynamic and static coatings. The static coating of cyclic olefin copolymer microchannel was constructed from bovine serum albumin adsorption, immobilization, and active site closure, while the dynamic coating was formed by adding surfactant into running buffer of capillary zone electrophoresis. The static coating can improve the hydrophilicity of cyclic olefin copolymer surface and avoid nonspecific peptide adsorption. The dynamic coating of sodium dodecyl sulfate in running buffer proved to be useful in flow velocity adjustment and the column efficiency enhancement in the capillary zone electrophoresis separation channel of the cyclic olefin copolymer microchip device. A separation resolution up to 4.24 on the mixture of carnosine and nicotinamide was obtained. Moreover, an analysis method was established and applied to simultaneous carnosine and nicotinamide determination in a liquid whitening essence and a solid antiglycation pill, and the results were verified by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography methods, indicating its potential in complex sample analysis.
