Mars Organic Detector III: A Versatile Instrument for Detection of Bio-organic Signatures on Mars
Recent advances in the development of microfabricated lab-on-a-chip analysis systems have enhanced the feasibility and capabilities of in situ chemical and biochemical analyzers. While a wide variety of bio-organic molecules can be probed, we have focused our initial studies on the development of an amino acid analyzer with the hypothesis that extraterrestrial life would be based on homochiral ...
متن کاملFeasibility of Detecting Bioorganic Compounds in Enceladus Plumes with the Enceladus Organic Analyzer
Enceladus presents an excellent opportunity to detect organic molecules that are relevant for habitability as well as bioorganic molecules that provide evidence for extraterrestrial life because Enceladus' plume is composed of material from the subsurface ocean that has a high habitability potential and significant organic content. A primary challenge is to send instruments to Enceladus that ca...
متن کاملConcept for Remote Chemical Analysis of Enceladus Amino Acid Chirality
Introduction: A concept for an astrobiology science instrument is described here in the context of a future mission to Enceladus [1]. Water jets from the south polar region of this moon form a plume and supply material to the Saturn e-ring [2, 3]. By utilizing remote chemical analysis of free amino acid chirality, the Enceladus Amino Acid Sampler (EAAS) is designed to address the fundamental as...
متن کاملEffects of Some Amino Acids and Organic Acids on Enzymatic Activity and Longevity of Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino at Pre-Harvest Stage
Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of pre-harvest application of some amino acids and organic acids on enzymatic traits and longevity of carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino) based on completely randomized design with 13 treatments and three...
متن کاملMulti-layer Microfluidic Devices for Amino Acid Analysis: the Mars Organic Analyzer
Sensitive amino acid composition and chirality analysis is demonstrated using the Mars Organic Analyzer (MOA), a portable microfabricated capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument. The MOA integrates all high voltage power supplie s, pneumatic controls, and fluorescence detection optics. The microfabricated device is a novel multi-layer structure combining glass separation channels [1] and micr...
