Determination of chlormequat and mepiquat in pear,tomato, and wheat flour using on-line solid-phase extraction (Prospekt) coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A new methodology based on pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) followed by LC-MS is presented for the simultaneous and unequivocal determination of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) and their degradation products, alkylphenols (APs) and alkylphenoxy carboxylates (APECs), in sediment samples. The protocol, applicable to a full range of APEO oligomers and degradation products, permits the sensitive and selective determination of APEOs (nEO = 1-15), APECs (nEO = 0-1) and APs at low ppb levels (LODs = 1-5 microg/kg) in sediment samples. Optimization of the operational parameters of PLE clearly demonstrates that significant thermal losses of APs occur during extraction at elevated temperatures. The loss of octylphenol (OP) at 100 degrees C was 61.2% and of nonylphenol (NP) 40.0%, whereas other compounds were completely recovered. Thus, to avoid losses due to the volatility of alkylphenols, a low extraction temperature should be applied. The conditions that gave the best results for all target compounds were as follows: extraction solvent mixture, methanol-acetone (1:1, v/v); temperature, 50 degrees C; pressure, 1500 p.s.i.; two static cycles. Using PLE and a subsequent clean-up with solid-phase extraction (SPE), the simultaneous extraction of APEOs, APs and APECs from sediment samples was achieved yielding recoveries >70% and producing low MS background noise. The developed methodology was applied on a routine basis to the analysis of alkylphenolic compounds in sediment samples. APEOs and their persistent degradation products were detected in significant concentrations in sediments from Portuguese rivers, especially at sites situated in the proximity of industrial plants (mainly the textile industry). The total concentration of alkylphenolic compounds (APEOs+APs+APECs) ranged from 155 to 2400 microg/kg. Of all the alkylphenolic compounds, NP comprised 40 to 50% with concentrations up to 1172 microg/kg.

Development of a screening method for the determination of PCBs in water using QuEChERS extraction and gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

A new method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of 11 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), in water samples at trace levels by gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS/MS). Water samples were extracted by the QuEChERS (Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged and Safe) method. The QqQ analyzer acquired data in multiple reactions monitoring (MRM), permitting both quantification and confirmation in a single injection with a running time reduced up to 11.0 min. The effect of matrix interferences in extracts on analyte quantification and the identification of PCBs in water samples was deeply studied. The results showed that PCBs were prone to strong matrix interactions in water samples, and the quantification and identification of PCBs were highly affected by a matrix enhancement effect. To evaluate the performance of the method, validation experiments were carried out on water samples at three spiking levels (1.6, 8.0, 40.0 μg L(-1)). Recovery was in the range of 95 - 109% at 1.6 μg L(-1), 90 - 95% at 8.0 μg L(-1) and 97 - 102% at 40.0 μg L(-1), respectively. Precision values expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) were lower than 15%. Linearity in the range of 0.5 - 50.0 μg L(-1) provided determination coefficients (R(2)) higher than 0.999 for all compounds. The limits of detection (LODs) for PCBs were ≤0.1 μg L(-1) and the limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.04 to 0.3 μg L(-1). The applicability of the proposed method to detect and quantify PCBs has been demonstrated in analyse of 15 real samples.     

Multi-class determination of antimicrobials in meat by pressurized liquid extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A multi-residue method using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for determining trace levels of 31 antimicrobials, including beta-lactams, lincosamides, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, nitroimidazoles and trimethoprim. The extraction method required pre-homogeneization of the meat with EDTA-washed sand and subsequent one-static-cycle extraction for 10 min with 40 ml of water at 1500 psi and 70 degrees C. The effect of operation temperature, pressure, flush volume, and static cycles on PLE performance was studied. Average recoveries ranged from 75 to 99% with relative standard deviations <18%. The method was validated according to the European Union requirements (2002/657/EC). In addition to the quality parameters included in that decision, the limits of detection (LODs) and quantification (LOQs) were determined. The use of LC-MS/MS provided LODs (between 3 and 15 microg kg(-1)) and LOQs (between 10 and 50 microg kg(-1)), by far lower than half of their maximum residue limits (MRLs) (between 50 and 1200 microg kg(-1)). Confirmation of the presence of any of the studied compounds was accomplished in 1h after sample receipt. This methodology has been successfully applied to the analysis of cattle and pig tissue samples from local markets and slaughterhouses of the Valencian Community (Spain). The results showed the presence of some antimicrobials at different concentrations. Quinolones and tetracyclines were the antimicrobials most detected in cattle and pig samples, respectively. Sulfonamides were also frequently detected in both types of samples.

Development of a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of eight adulterants in slimming functional foods

A method for simultaneous determination of eight adulterants including two appetite suppressants, two energy expenditure-enhancing drugs, one diuretic and three cathartics in slimming functional foods by high performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) was established. After samples were ultrasonically extracted with 70% (v/v) methanol aqueous solution and centrifuged, the components of ephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, fenfluramine, sibutramine, clopamide, emodin, rhein, and chrysophanol in sample solution were separated by a Hypersil Gold column (2.1 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) using a programmed gradient elution. A mobile phase consisting of 0.02% (v/v) formic acid-ammonium formate buffer solution (pH=3.50) and methanol was used for elution with a flow rate set at 250 μL/min and column temperature of 25 °C. Qualitative determination was based on characteristic ion pairs and retention time of the targeted compounds using SRM (selective reaction monitoring) mode. Clenbuterol and ibuprofen were internal standards in positive and negative ionization mode, respectively. The internal standard curves were used for quantification measurement. The average recoveries of three different concentrations were from 80.2% to 94.5%. The limits of detection (LODs) were from 0.03 to 0.66 mg/kg (except chrysophanol 1.6 mg/kg). The linear dynamic range covered from 1 to 500 μg/L (except chrysophanol 50-5000 μg/L) for the twelve samples analyzed. Adulterants in four different kinds of slimming functional foods were determined by this developed method, and satisfactory results were obtained. These experimental results showed that, adulteration of sibutramine or/and fenfluramine were the major adulterating components with contents varying from 6.1 to 1.3×10(3) mg/kg and 1.9 to 9.7×10(3) mg/kg, respectively. In addition, three cathartic compounds were detected in six of those tested samples, and ephedrine, norpseudoephedrine and clopamide were not detected in all samples.     

Simultaneous determination of nine intense sweeteners in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detection--development and single-laboratory validation

A high performance liquid chromatographic method with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of multiple sweeteners, i.e., acesulfame-K, alitame, aspartame, cyclamic acid, dulcin, neotame, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone, saccharin and sucralose in carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks, canned or bottled fruits and yoghurt. The procedure involves an extraction of the nine sweeteners with a buffer solution, sample clean-up using solid-phase extraction cartridges followed by an HPLC-ELSD analysis. The trueness of the method was satisfactory with recoveries ranging from 93 to 109% for concentration levels around the maximum usable dosages for authorised sweeteners and from 100 to 112% for unauthorised compounds at concentration levels close to the limit of quantification (LOQs). Precision measures showed mean repeatability values of <4% (expressed as relative standard deviation) for highly concentrated samples and <5% at concentration levels close to the LOQs. Intermediate precision was in most cases <8%. The limits of detection (LODs) were below 15 microg g(-1) and the LOQs below 30 microg g(-1) in all three matrices. Only dulcin showed slightly higher values, i.e., LODs around 30 microg g(-1) and LOQs around 50 microg g(-1)

Development and validation of a multiresidue method for the analysis of 151 pesticide residues in strawberry by gas chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass analyzer

A new method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 151 pesticide residues in strawberry by gas chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass analyzer (GC/QqQ-MS/MS), mainly using the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The list of target compounds included various classes of pesticides such as organochlorine (OCPs), organophosphorus (OPPs), carbamates, pyrethroids, triazoles and dicarboximides. A single extraction of 10 g of sample with acetonitrile followed by liquid-liquid partition formed by the addition of 4 g of MgSO4 and 1 g of NaCl was applied in sample preparation. Cleanup of the extracts was carried out by applying dispersive solid-phase extraction (D-SPE) with primary secondary amine (PSA). The analysis time was 21 min. The method was subjected to a thorough validation procedure. The recovery data were obtained by spiking blank samples at two concentration levels (11.5 and 50 microg/kg), yielding recoveries in the range 70-110%. Precision values expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) were lower than 18% and 22% for the intraday and interday precision, respectively. Linearity was studied in the range 10-200 microg/kg and determination coefficients (R(2)) were higher than 0.98% for all compounds. Limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were established as 4 and 10 microg/kg, respectively. The overall uncertainty of the method was estimated at two different concentrations (11.5 and 50 microg/kg), being lower than 25% in both cases. According to the validation data and performance characteristics as well as the high sample throughput and low cost, the proposed method is suitable for routine application.

The eluent flow rate was 1 mL/min, the temperature of the column was 30 degrees C, and the eluate was monitored at 290 nm. Linearity (r = 0.999), recovery (97.6-105.8%), RSD (0.55-1.90%), and LOQ (0.099-1.48 microg/mL) were evaluated and found to be satisfactory. The proposed method can be used for simultaneous identification and quantification of the analyzed compounds in pharmaceutical formulations.

Rapid analysis of triazolopyrimidine sulfoanilide herbicides in waters and soils by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection using a C18 monolithic column

In this work, the simultaneous analysis of five triazolopyrimidine sulfoanilide herbicides (flumetsulam, florasulam, metosulam, cloransulam-methyl, and diclosulam) by HPLC using UV detection and a C18 monolithic column is proposed. The mobile phase which was composed of ACN, water, and formic acid was pumped at a high flow rate (5 mmL/min) providing an analysis time of all the compounds in less than 2.3 min. The LODs were in the low microg/L range (i.e. between 60 microg/L for flumetsulam and 90 microg/L for florasulam) and the calibration curves showed good linearity (R2 > 0.9949). The method was applied to the analysis of these compounds in spiked mineral and tap waters and soils after an SPE preconcentration procedure using C18 cartridges. Mean recovery values ranged between 35 and 110% for water samples providing LODs of the whole procedure in the low ng/L level, down to 280 ng/L, and between 77 and 92% for soil samples with LODs down to 9.38 microg/kg. This is the first time that this family of pesticides is simultaneously analyzed in both types of samples by HPLC and also using a monolithic column.     

Rapid method for the simultaneous determination of six ionophores in feed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

A simple and highly sensitive LC/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of six ionophores--lasalocid, monensin, laidlomycin, maduramycin, salinomycin, and narasin--in feed. The procedure involved extraction of 1 g of feed with 4 mL of methanol-water (9 + 1, v/v) by shaking on a platform shaker for 45 min. After centrifugation, the extracts were diluted with methanol-water (75 + 25, v/v) and analyzed without any cleanup. The analysis was performed on a Betasil C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm id, 5 pm particle size) connected to an LC/MS system operated in the atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mode. We believe this to be the first method that uses the APCI mode for the analysis of ionophores. The mobile phase consisted of 50 mM ammonium acetate as solvent A and acetonitrile-methanol (7 + 3, v/v) as solvent B in a gradient run. Excellent recoveries of 81-120% were found for all compounds at fortification levels of 1-200 microg/g, with RSD < or =15% (except 17% for maduramycin at 2 and 5 microg/g, and 16% for salinomycin at 1 microg/g). At 0.5 microg/g, recoveries of 87-119% were obtained, with RSD < or =20%. However, recovery of lasalocid was 133% and salinomycin 79% in sow and horse feed, respectively. Average RSD values of lasalocid and salinomycin were 22 and 21%, respectively. Finally, proficiency test samples analyzed with the method demonstrated favorable agreement with the certified values.

Aflatoxin M1 determination in cheese by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A new method for determining aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in cheese by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been developed. Two methodologies were compared for sample extraction. The first one involves sample extraction with dichloromethane for hard, aged cheese or acetone for fresh cheese and includes a preliminary matrix solid-phase dispersion-extraction step before solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up by a Carbograph-4 cartridge. The second method uses a water/methanol solution (90:10, v/v) extraction at 150 degrees C before clean-up. The average recoveries of AFM1 from samples spiked at levels of 0.25-0.45 microg/kg, were 81-92% and the precision (RSD) ranged from 3 to 7% with the first method, whilst the average recoveries were 79-84%, and RSD ranged from 7 to 15% for the second method. Due to different matrix effect, the quantification limits were 0.019-0.025 microg/kg in the first case and 0.048-0.143 microg/kg in the second one, depending on cheese typology.
