Optimization of Fluorescence Labeling of Trace Analytes: Application to Amino Acid Biosignature Detection with Pacific Blue

Laura D. Casto-Boggess et al.

Summary: Fluorescence labeling and detection platforms are powerful tools for high-sensitivity bioanalysis, especially when targeting trace levels of analytes. This study optimized the labeling and detection of Pacific Blue-tagged amino acids, achieving 100 pM sensitivities and high-efficiency separations. The research developed a quantitative optimization model that can be applied to various reactive probes and targets, making it particularly useful for analyzing trace amine and amino acid biosignatures in extraterrestrial samples.

Microvalve array fabrication using selective PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) bonding through Perfluorooctyl-trichlorosilane passivation for long-term space exploration

Zachary Estlack et al.

Summary: This study presents a method to selectively bond polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using chemical passivation, solving the issue of PDMS sticking during long-term space exploration. By transferring vaporized perfluorooctyl-trichlorosilane (PFTCS) onto PDMS or glass substrates, a programmable microfluidic array (PMA) for long-term space missions can be successfully fabricated.
