Electrochemical Detection of Free Chlorine at Inkjet Printed Silver Electrodes

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Véronique Amstutz, Hongyan Bi, Milica Jovic

A low-cost, reliable and sensitive electrochemical method for free chlorine analysis in water using inkjet printed silver electrodes is presented. Free chlorine detection was based on linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis of AgCl/Ag2O films formed over a ...

Controlling the specific enrichment of multi-phosphorylated peptides on oxide materials: aluminium foil as a target plate for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Mohamad Hojeij, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Hongyan Bi

A specific multi-phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented to complement current phosphopeptide isolation strategies that normally bias mass spectrometry analysis towards the detection of mono-phosphopeptides. An adsorption model is developed that show ...

Electrochemical reactions and ionization processes

Hubert Girault, Niels Erik Lion, Liang Qiao, Michel Prudent, Hongyan Bi, Mélanie Abonnenc

Electrochemical or photo-electrochemical reactions in both electrospray ionization and laser desorption ionization are discussed stressing the role of the electrode reaction in influencing the ionization process. In particular, upon application of a high v ...

Photocatalytic Redox Reactions for In-Source Peptide Fragmentation

Hubert Girault, Jérôme Waser, Liang Qiao, Hongyan Bi

In-source photocatalytic redox reactions based on a photosensitive target plate have been developed to realize peptide fragmentation during laser desorption ionization. Sample peptides and glucose are simply deposited on a spot of sintered TiO2 nanoparticl ...

Kinetics of Proteolytic Reactions in Nanoporous Materials

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Hongyan Bi

Proteolysis with proteases preloaded within nanopores of porous material is a very fast process, where proteins can be digested in minutes compared to the conventional bulk enzyme reactions taking place over hours. To model this surprising phenomenon, a mo ...
