Gentamicin assay in human serum by solid-phase extraction and capillary electrophoresis

We describe the development of a capillary electrophoresis method for the determination of gentamicin C1, C1a, C2a, and C2 components in human serum. Using a weak cation-exchanger with 20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 200 mM borate buffer, pH 9.0, and ammonia/methanol, solid-phase extraction (SPE) of gentamicin components from the human sera was performed. The extract was derivatized with 1,2-phthalic dicarboxaldehyde/mercaptoacetic acid reagent. The derivatives were separated with a background electrolyte comprising 60 mM 2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid (CHES) buffer at pH 9.5 containing 31.6% m/v methanol, and quantified with UV-light absorption detection at 230 nm. The identity of the gentamicin components was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The SPE recovery of the gentamicin ranged from 78% to 93%. The calibration curves were linear from the concentration limit of quantitation (LOQ) to 30 mg/L for the gentamicin mixture. The LOQ for gentamicin C1 was 0.33 mg/L, for C2a 0.23 mg/L, C2 0.25 mg/L, C1a 0.27 mg/L and the concentration limit of detection (LOD) for C1 was 0.15 mg/L, C2a 0.11 mg/L, C2 0.12 mg/L, C1a 0.13 mg/L. Intra-assay relative standard deviation (RSD) values were for C1 (5%), C1a (7%), C2 (6.5%) and C2a (9%); inter-assay RSD values were for C1 (11%), C1a (13.3%), C2 (15%) and C2a (14%). The Pearson's correlation between capillary electrophoresis and immunoassay revealed a linear relationship between these two techniques with r = 0.9. This method for determination of gentamicin C1, C1a, C2a, and C2 in human serum can thus be used in the entire therapeutic concentrations range of gentamicin.

Toxicological screening of human plasma by on‐line SPE‐HPLC‐DAD: identification and quantification of acidic and neutral drugs

A multi‐analyte screening method for the quantification of 50 acidic/neutral drugs in human plasma based on on‐line solid‐phase extraction (SPE)–HPLC with photodiode array detection (DAD) was developed, validated and applied for clinical investigation. Acetone and methanol for protein precipitation, three different SPE materials (two electro‐neutral, one strong anion‐exchange, one weak cation‐exchange) for on‐line extraction, five HPLC‐columns [one C₁₈ (GeminiNX), two phenyl‐hexyl (Gemini C₆‐Phenyl, Kinetex Phenyl‐Hexyl) and two pentafluorophenyl (LunaPFP(2), KinetexPFP)] for analytical separation were tested. For sample pre‐treatment, acetone in the ratio 1:2 (plasma:acetone) showed a better baseline and fewer matrix peaks in the chromatogram than methanol. Only the strong anion‐exchanger SPE cartridge (StrataX‐A, pH 6) allowed the extraction of salicylic acid. Analytical separation was carried out on a Gemini C₆‐Phenyl column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3 µm) using gradient elution with acetonitrile–water 90:10 (v/v) and phosphate buffer (pH 2.3). Linear calibration curves with correlation coefficients r ≥ 0.9950/0.9910 were obtained for 46/four analytes. Additionally, this method allows the quantification of 23 analytes for therapeutic drug monitoring. Limits of quantitation ranged from 0.1 (amobarbital) to 23 mg/L (salicylic acid). Inter‐/intra‐day precisions of quality control samples (low/high) were better than 13% and accuracy (bias) ranged from ?14 to 10%. A computer‐assisted database was created for automated detection of 223 analytes of toxicological interests. Four cases of multi‐drug intoxications are presented.

Simultaneous determination of seven pesticides in waters using multi-walled carbon nanotube SPE and NACE

In this work, NACE with UV detection is combined with SPE using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) as stationary phase to determine a group of seven pesticides (pirimicarb, pyrifenox, penconazol, carbendazim, cyromazine, pyrimethanil and cyprodinil) in mineral water samples using ametryn as internal standard. The optimized BGE, consisting of a mixture of MeOH and ACN (1:2 v/v) with 90 mM SDS and 20.5 mM HClO(4), was satisfactory to get a good resolution of the seven compounds in less than 13 min. On-line preconcentration was carried out by electrokinetic injection of the sample dissolved in 78:22 v/v MeOH/ACN, 1.11 mM HClO(4). Repeatability was studied for the same day (n=4), for nine different days (n=36) and for four different capillaries. RSD values were appropriate in all cases, i.e. in the range 4.3-9.4% between different capillaries. MWCNT of 10-15 nm od, 2-6 nm id and 0.1-10 mum length were used as SPE materials for the preconcentration of these pesticides from water samples. SPE parameters influencing the enrichment were optimized and the most favorable conditions were as follows: the amount of stationary phase, eluent, sample pH and sample volume were 40 mg MWCNT, 10 mL ACN and 10 mL dichloromethane containing 5% v/v formic acid, pH 8.0, and 750 mL, respectively. Mean recovery values ranged between 53 and 94% for Milli-Q water and between 47 and 93% for mineral waters (RSD values were in the range 2-16%). The method allowed the determination of these pesticides at concentrations below the maximum residue limits established by the European Union legislation (LOD in the range 27-58 ng/L). When the cost, amount and type of the carbon nanotubes used in this work are compared with those carbon nanotubes previously used in the literature it is clear that the proposed materials can be used as economical stationary phases, even cheaper than conventional SPE cartridges.     

Determination of ethyl glucuronide in human serum by capillary zone electrophoresis and an immunoassay

Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a marker of recent alcohol consumption. For the optimization of the analysis of EtG by CZE with indirect absorbance detection, the use of capillaries with permanent and dynamic wall coatings, the composition of the BGE, and various sample preparation procedures, including dilution with water, ultrafiltration, protein precipitation, and SPE, were investigated. Two validated screening assays for the determination of EtG in human serum, a CZE‐based approach and an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), are described. The CZE assay uses a coated capillary, 2,4‐dimethylglutaric acid as an internal standard, and a pH 4.65 BGE comprising 9 mM nicotinic acid, ε‐aminocaproic acid and 10% v/v ACN. Proteins are removed via precipitation with ACN prior to analysis and the LOQ is 0.50 mg/L. The EIA is based upon commercial reagents which are promoted for the determination of urinary EtG. Krebs–Ringer solution containing 5% BSA is used as a calibration matrix. All samples are ultrafiltered prior to analysis of the ultrafiltrate on a Mira Plus analyzer. Assay calibration ranged between 0 and 2 mg/L and the upper reference limit was determined to be 0.05 mg/L. Both assays proved to be suitable for the analysis of samples from different individuals. For EtG levels above 0.50 mg/L, good agreement was observed for the comparison of the results of the two methods.

Direct assay of Aplysia tissues and cells with laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry on porous silicon.

Desorption/ionization on porous silicon (DIOS) is a form of laser desorption mass spectrometry that allows for the direct mass analysis of a variety of analytes without the addition of organic matrix. Protocols are described for the direct analysis of exocrine tissue and single neurons using DIOS-MS. The atrial gland of Aplysia californica was blotted on to porous silicon and analyzed with DIOS-MS in the range m/z 1000-4000. The ability to culture invertebrate neurons directly on porous silicon is also presented. Isolated bag cells regenerated neuronal processes in culture on porous silicon. DIOS-MS allowed the direct detection of the peptides contained in individual cultured neurons indicating that with appropriate protocols, DIOS can be used with biological samples with considerable thickness.     

Carbon isotopic ratio analysis by gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry for the detection of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) administration to humans

Since GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) is naturally produced in the human body, clinical and forensic toxicologists must be able to discriminate between endogenous levels and a concentration resulting from exposure. To suggest an alternative to the use of interpretative concentration cut-offs, the detection of exogenous GHB in urine specimens was investigated by means of gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS). GHB was isolated from urinary matrix by successive purification on Oasis MCX and Bond Elute SAX solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractioning using an Atlantis dC18 column eluted with a mixture of formic acid and methanol. Subsequent intramolecular esterification of GHB leading to the formation of gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) was carried out to avoid introduction of additional carbon atoms for carbon isotopic ratio analysis. A precision of 0.3 per thousand was determined using this IRMS method for samples at GHB concentrations of 10 mg/L. The (13)C/(12)C ratios of GHB in samples of subjects exposed to the drug ranged from -32.1 to -42.1 per thousand, whereas the results obtained for samples containing GHB of endogenous origin at concentration levels less than 10 mg/L were in the range -23.5 to -27.0 per thousand. Therefore, these preliminary results show that a possible discrimination between endogenous and exogenous GHB can be made using carbon isotopic ratio analyses.

Determination of melamine residue in liquid milk by capillary electrophoresis with solid-phase extraction

A novel solid-phase extraction-capillary electrophoresis (SPE-CE) method was developed for the determination of melamine residue in liquid milk. The conditions of SPE and CE were investigated and optimized. A 1% trichloroacetic acid plus 2.2% lead acetate solution were used for the extraction of analyte and the removal of protein. A Cleanert PCX SPE cartridges column was used for clean up. The 50 mM sodium dihydrogenphosphate running buffer (pH adjusted to 3.2 with citric acid) was used as a running buffer. The linearity is satisfactory in the range of 0.8-100 μg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. Under the optimal conditions, the method limit of detection (LOD) and method limit of quantification were 0.12 mg/kg and 0.37 mg/kg, respectively. The recovery of melamine from different liquid milk samples was in the range of 89.5-98.5% with a relative standard deviation of 1.8-3.5%. The intra- and inter-day assay precision was 2.8% (n = 6) and 4.1% for five days, respectively. The developed method has been applied successfully for the determination of melamine residue in liquid milk samples. The results obtained by the proposed method agree with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatographic method. The proposed method enables the quantitative determination of melamine residues at levels as low as 0.37 mg/kg in different liquid milk.     

Simultaneous analysis of small organic acids and humic acids using high performance size exclusion chromatography

An accurate and fast method for simultaneous determination of small organic acids and much larger humic acids was developed using high performance size exclusion chromatography. Two small organic acids, i.e. salicylic acid and 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, and one purified humic acid material were used in this study. Under the experimental conditions, the UV peaks of salicylic acid and 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid were well separated from the peaks of humic acid in the chromatogram. Concentrations of the two small organic acids could be accurately determined from their peak areas. The concentration of humic acid in the mixture could then be derived from mass balance calculations. The measured results agreed well with the nominal concentrations. The detection limits are 0.05 mg/L and 0.01 mg/L for salicylic acid and 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, respectively. Applicability of the method to natural samples was tested using groundwater, glacier, and river water samples (both original and spiked with salicylic acid and 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid) with a total organic carbon concentration ranging from 2.1 to 179.5 mg C/L. The results obtained are promising, especially for groundwater samples and river water samples with a total organic carbon concentration below 9 mg C/L.     

Determination of antibacterial flomoxef in serum by capillary electrophoresis

A determination method of flomoxef (FMOX) concentration in serum by capillary electrophoresis is developed. Serum samples are extracted with acetonitrile. After pretreatment, they are separated in a fused-silica capillary tube with a 25 mM borate buffer (pH 10.0) as a running buffer that contains 50mM sodium dodecyl sulfate. The FMOX and acetaminophen (internal standard) are detected by UV absorbance at 200 nm. Linearity (0-200 mg/L) is good, and the minimum limit of detection is 1.0 mg/L (S/N = 3). The relative standard deviations of intra- and interassay variability are 1.60-4.78% and 2.10-3.31%, respectively, and the recovery rate is 84-98%. This method can be used for determination of FMOX concentration in serum.     

基质固相分散萃取和固相萃取-高效液相色谱-三重四极杆-复合线性离子阱质谱同时测定奶制品中6种雌激素

A high-throughput LC-MS/MS method suitable for population biomonitoring measures five serum folate vitamers and one oxidation product

Small specimen volume and high sample throughput are key features needed for routine methods used for population biomonitoring. We modified our routine eight-probe solid phase extraction (SPE) LC-MS/MS method for the measurement of five folate vitamers [5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-methylTHF), folic acid (FA), plus three minor forms: THF, 5-formylTHF, 5,10-methenylTHF] and one oxidation product of 5-methylTHF (MeFox) to require less serum volume (150 μL instead of 275 μL) by using 96-well SPE plates with 50 mg instead of 100 mg phenyl sorbent and to provide faster throughput by using a 96-probe SPE system. Total imprecision (10 days, two replicates/day) for three serum quality control pools was 2.8–3.6 % for 5-methylTHF (19.5–51.1 nmol/L), 6.6–8.7 % for FA (0.72–11.4 nmol/L), and ≤11.4 % for the minor folate forms (<1–5 nmol/L). The mean (±SE) recoveries of folates spiked into serum (3 days, four levels, two replicates/level) were: 5-methylTHF, 99.4?±?3.6 %; FA, 100?±?1.8 %; minor folates, 91.7–108 %. SPE extraction efficiencies were ≥85 %, except for THF (78 %). Limits of detection were ≤0.3 nmol/L. The new method correlated well with our routine method [n?=?150, r?=?0.99 for 5-methylTHF, FA, and total folate (tFOL, sum of folate forms)] and produced slightly higher tFOL (5.6 %) and 5-methylTHF (7.3 %) concentrations, likely due to the faster 96-probe SPE process (1 vs. 5 h), resulting in improved SPE efficiency and recovery compared to the eight-probe SPE method. With this improved LC-MS/MS method, 96 samples can be processed in ～2 h, and all relevant folate forms can be accurately measured using a small serum volume.
