The capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) instrumentation can be coupled with on-line laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection, which significantly increases detection sensitivity. However, there was considerable lack of any suitable markers of isoelectric point (pI) for this type of application. In 2002 our laboratory presented four fluorescein-based pI markers initially covering narrow pH range (from 5.4 to 6.6). Since then, by adding various functional groups, more than 60 further candidate ampholytes covering broad range of pH have been synthetized and tested. However, some of the nonconforming compounds exhibiting low fluorescence intensity or containing high portion of synthesis by-products, were excluded from the set. 22 markers were identified as suitable for the cIEF-LIF method. Finally, four calibrated pI markers, evenly covering the whole length of the pH gradient from 4.05 to 8.73, were selected and further applied for cIEF-LIF analysis and pI determination of fluorescently labeled antibody (IgG-FITC) and cell lysate from Spirulina sp., containing phycobiliproteins with naturally occurring fluorescence.
