Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis01:21

Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis

2.1K
Mass spectrometry is an important technique for the identification of pure compounds. However, it has some limitations for the analysis of complex mixtures, often due to excessive fragmentation making the spectrum too complicated to decipher. Mass spectrometry can be combined with suitable separation methods in sequence, forming hyphenated methods, which are useful in the analysis of complex mixtures.
GC–MS is a powerful hyphenated method commonly used in forensics and environmental...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Types of Detectors

2.3K
The role of the detectors in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is to analyze the solutes as they exit from the chromatographic column. The detector recognizes the solute's property and generates corresponding electrical signals, which are converted into a readable graph of the detector's response versus elution time called a chromatogram at the computer. There are several types of HPLC detectors, each with its own advantages and limitations, depending on the analyte...

Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview01:30

Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview

949
Electrogravimetric analysis measures the weight of an analyte deposited electrolytically onto a suitable working electrode. This method involves applying a potential to a pre-weighed electrode submerged in a solution, which results in the desired substance being deposited through reduction at the cathode or oxidation at the anode. The electrode's weight is recorded after deposition, and the difference in weight gives the analyte's weight in the solution.
To test the completeness of the...

Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry01:12

Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry

2.6K
Higher molecular weight biomolecules are nonvolatile compounds that may decompose before ionizing or vaporizing during mass analysis with conventional electron impact ionization methods. Accordingly, electrospray ionization (ESI) is the favored method for vaporizing and ionizing biomolecules as it circumvents rapid fragmentation and enables the recording of mass signals for the entire biomolecule.
ESI utilizes electrical energy to transfer ions from the liquid phase of the sample into the...

Capillary Electrophoresis: Applications

1.9K
Capillary electrophoretic separations offer various modes, each with unique applications. These modes include capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary array electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and capillary electrochromatography.
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separates ionic components based on their electrophoretic mobility. It has been used to separate proteins, amino acids,...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Saliva offers a promising biofluid for noninvasive, real-time analyte monitoring.
  • Quantifying analytes in complex saliva matrices is challenging due to signal interference and variable backgrounds.
  • Traditional analysis algorithms struggle with the complexity of biofluid samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess and compare the performance of five regression models for quantifying drug levels in saliva using electrochemical voltammograms.
  • To identify optimal features and model hyperparameters for accurate analyte quantification in complex biofluids.
  • To evaluate the generalizability of models across different sample collection times.

Main Methods:

  • Trained and tested k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gaussian Process (GP), and linear multivariate regression models.
  • Utilized hundreds of voltammograms from carbamazepine spiked in whole human saliva across five concentrations.
  • Performed feature selection from nine voltammogram features and hyperparameter tuning, assessing performance with R^2 and % error, and employed permutation testing for unbiased comparison.

Main Results:

  • Identified a critical, underutilized voltammogram feature associated with the analyte peak.
  • Model performance improved with the addition of 1-2 extra voltammogram features, including voltage-based and background current features.
  • KNN and RF models achieved the lowest test-set % error (19%), outperforming the linear model (26%).
  • KNN demonstrated excellent generalizability on data from a different day (% error of 19%), while RF and linear models showed degraded performance.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning models, particularly KNN and RF, offer substantial improvements in accuracy for drug level quantification in saliva compared to conventional linear regression.
  • The developed models show high potential for real-time, point-of-care therapeutic drug monitoring using electrochemical saliva analysis.
  • Feature engineering and selection are critical for enhancing the performance of electrochemical signal analysis in complex biological matrices.
