Using Nonequilibrium Capillary Electrophoresis of Equilibrium Mixtures for the Determination of Temperature in Capillary Electrophoresis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Until now, all methods for temperature sensing in capillary electrophoresis (CE) relied on molecular probes with temperature-dependent spectral/optical properties. Here we introduce a nonspectroscopic approach to determining temperature in CE. It is based on measuring a temperature-dependent rate constant of complex dissociation by means of a kinetic CE method known as nonequilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM). Conceptually, a calibration curve of "the rate constant versus temperature" is built using NECEEM and a CE instrument with a reliable temperature control or, alternatively, a nonelectrophoretic method, such as surface plasmon resonance. The calibration curve is then used to find the temperature during CE in the same buffer but with another CE apparatus or under otherwise different conditions (cooling efficiency, length and diameter of the capillary, electrical field, etc.). In this proof-of-principle work, we used the dissociation of a protein-DNA complex to demonstrate that the NECEEM-based temperature determination method allows for temperature determination in CE with a precision of 2 degrees C. Then, we applied the NECEEM-based temperature determination method to study heat dissipation efficiency in CE instruments with active and passive cooling of the capillary. The nonspectroscopic nature of the method makes it potentially applicable to nonspectroscopic detection schemes, e.g. electrochemical detection. A "kinetic probe" can be coloaded into the capillary along with a sample for in situ temperature measurements. Higher order chemical reactions can also be used for temperature sensing, provided a kinetic CE method for measuring a corresponding rate constant is available.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
