Eco-friendly and Cleaner Process Using Online Microwave-assisted Steam Extraction Coupled with Solid-phase Extraction for Trace Analysis of Sulfonamides in Animal Feed

An environmentally friendly method for extracting sulfonamides(SAs) residues from animal feed was described and applied. The method used online microwave-assisted steam extraction coupled with solid phase extraction(MASE-SPE), which was followed by the analysis using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS). The SAs residues were extracted successively with water steam under microwave irradiation, and thus directly introduced into an SPE column containing cation-exchange resin. The SAs were then eluted with methanol-ammonia(90:10, volume ratio) from the SPE column and followed by HPLC-MS/MS. The limits of detection(LODs) for the analytes ranged from 0.24 ng/g to 0.49 ng/g. The limits of quantification(LOQs) ranged from 0.82 ng/g to 1.63 ng/g. Average recoveries of SAs were 76.3%-92.1%. The developed method was a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative to previous methods with respect to time, solvent and labor consumption for the analysis of SAs in animal foodstuffs.

Analysis of benzalkonium chloride by capillary electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry

Conditions for the separation and determination of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) homologues by CE with UV-detection and CE coupled to MS (IT) using electrospray as ionization source were established. The separation was performed using fused-silica capillaries of 50 microm id and 100 mM acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer solution at pH 4.5 with 80% of ACN as carrier electrolyte. CE-MS coupling parameters were optimized and methanol-10 mM acetic acid (90:10 v/v) was selected as sheath liquid. Detection limits, based on an S/N of 3:1, were calculated, and values between 0.8 and 1.3 mg/L with CE-ESI/MS and around 0.5 mg/L with CE-ESI-MS/MS, using hydrodynamic injection (15 s, 3.5 kPa), were obtained. Good run-to-run and day-to-day precisions on concentration were achieved with RSDs lower than 8%. Quantitative analysis was carried out by the internal standard method and the calibration curves showed good linearities (r(2) > 0.98). The CE-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully applied to the analysis of BAC in different ophthalmic solutions, allowing the direct determination, identification and confirmation of the BAC homologues presented in these samples.     

A novelty strategy for the fast analysis of sulfonamide antibiotics in fish tissue using magnetic separation with high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

A simple, fast and low‐cost extraction method with high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS/MS) determination was developed on sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) in fish tissue. Magnetic separation was first introduced into the rapid sample preparation procedure combined with acetonitrile extraction for the analysis of SAs. Partitioning was rapidly achieved between acetonitrile solution and solid matrix by applying an external magnetic field. Acetonitrile solution was collected and concentrated under a nitrogen stream. The residue was redissolved with 1‰ formic acid aqueous solution and defatted with n‐hexane before analysis. The recoveries of SAs were in the range of 74.87–104.74%, with relative standard deviations <13%. The limits of quantification and the limits of detection for SAs ranged from 5.0 to 25.0 μg ^kg?1 and from 2.5 to 10.0 μg ^kg?1, respectively. The presented extraction method proved to be a rapid method which only took 20 min for one sample preparation procedure. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

毛细管电泳-质谱联用技术及其在蛋白质组学中的应用

蛋白质组学研究在生物学、精准医学等方面发挥着重要的作用。然而研究面临的巨大挑战来自生物样品的复杂性,因此在质谱（MS）鉴定技术不断革新的同时,发展分离技术以降低样品复杂度尤为重要。毛细管电泳（CE）技术具有上样体积小、分离效率高、分离速度快等优势,其与质谱的联用在蛋白质组学研究中越来越受到关注。低流速鞘流液和无鞘流液接口的发展及商品化推动了CE-MS技术的发展。目前毛细管区带电泳（CZE）、毛细管等电聚焦（CIEF）、毛细管电色谱（CEC）等分离模式已与质谱联用,其中CZE-MS应用最广泛。目前被广泛采用的蛋白质组学研究策略主要是基于酶解肽段分离鉴定的"自下而上（bottom-up）"策略。首先,CE-MS技术对酶解肽段的检测灵敏度高达1 zmol,已成功应用于单细胞蛋白质组学;其次,毛细管电泳技术与反相液相色谱互补,为疏水性质相近的肽段（尤其是翻译后修饰肽段）的分离鉴定提供了新的途径。基于整体蛋白质分离鉴定的自上而下"top-down"策略可以直接获得更精准、更完整的蛋白质信息。CE技术在蛋白质大分子的分离方面具有分离效率高、回收率高的优势,其与质谱的联用提高了整体蛋白质的鉴定灵敏度和覆盖度。非变性质谱（native MS）是一种在近生理条件下从完整蛋白质复合物水平上进行分析的质谱技术。CE与非变性质谱联用已被尝试用于蛋白质复合体的分离鉴定。该文引用了与CE-MS和蛋白质组学应用相关的93篇文献,综述了以上介绍的CE-MS的研究进展以及在蛋白质组学分析中的应用优势,并总结和展望了其应用前景。

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry for impurity profiling of basic pharmaceuticals using non-volatile background electrolytes

A generic approach has been developed for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) using non-volatile background electrolytes (BGEs) with mass spectrometry (MS) using a sheath liquid interface. CE-MS has been applied for basic and bi-functional compounds using a BGE consisting of 100 mM of TRIS adjusted to pH 2.5 using phosphoric acid. A liquid sheath effect is observed which may influence the CZE separation and hence may complicate the correlation between CE-UV and CE-MS methods. The influence of the liquid sheath effect on the migration behavior of basic pharmaceuticals has been studied by simulation experiments, in which the BGE outlet vial is replaced by sheath liquid in a CE-UV experiment. As a consequence of the liquid sheath effect, phosphate based BGEs can be used without significant loss of MS sensitivity compared to volatile BGEs. The use of buffer constituents such as TRIS can lead to lower detection limits as loss of MS sensitivity can be compensated by better CE performance. TRIS based BGEs permit relatively high injection amounts of about 100 pmol while maintaining high resolution. The ESI-MS parameters were optimized for a generic method with maximum sensitivity and stable operation, in which the composition of the sheath liquid and the position of the capillary were found to be important. Furthermore, the nebulizing pressure strongly influenced the separation efficiency. The system showed stable performance for several days and a reproducibility of about 15% RSD in peak area has been obtained. Nearly all test compounds used in this study could be analyzed with an MS detection limit of 0.05% measured in scan mode using extracted ion chromatograms. As a result, CE-MS was found to be a valuable analytical tool for pharmaceutical impurity profiling.

Confirmatory analysis of sulfonamide antibacterials in bovine liver and kidney: extraction with hot water and liquid chromatography coupled to a single- or triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer

A simple, specific, and rapid confirmatory method for determining 12 sulfonamide (SAs) antibacterials in bovine liver and kidney is presented. This method is based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion technique with hot water as extractant followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) with an electrospray ion source. The method was tailored for use with both single-quadrupole MS (I) and triple-quadrupole MS (II) instruments. After acidification and filtration of the aqueous extract, a 250-microL aliquot was injected into instrument I while only 25 microL was analyzed by instrument II. With instrument I MS data acquisition was performed in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, selecting at least three ions for each target compound. With instrument II the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with three fragmentation reactions for each compound was chosen. With the exception of sulfaquinoxaline (SQX), recovery of the analytes at the 50 ppb level in both liver and kidney was 72-96% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging between 3 and 11%. The very poor recovery of SQX was due to its rapid enzymatic oxidation when in contact with the two tissues. With instrument I, limits of quantification (LOQs, S/N = 10) were 5-14 ppb of SAs. Even lower LOQs (1-8 ppb) were estimated by using instrument II, even though the extract volume analyzed was ten times lower than that with instrument I. With both matrices and using instrument I, severe ion signal suppression was experienced for the early-eluted SAs when trying to fractionate analytes by using a short chromatographic run time. This effect was traced to polar endogenous co-extractives eluted in the first part of the chromatographic run that interfered with gas-phase ion formation for SAs. Adopting more selective chromatographic conditions minimized this effect.

Determination of sulfonamide antibiotics in fish and shrimp samples based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer extraction followed by UPLC-MS/MS

In this study, a novel purification method using magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (MCNTMIP) nanocomposite was investigated for separation and enrichment of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) in fish and shrimp samples. The MCNTMIP nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by applying carbon nanotubes as supporting template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, sulfabenzamide as the dummy template for SAs, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent, then was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry and vibrating sample magnetometry. The adsorption performance of MCNTMIP was evaluated by binding experiments, including static adsorption, kinetic adsorption, and selectivity recognition study. The results confirmed that an imprinted polymer layer was successfully constructed on the surface of the MCNTMIP and this sorbent has advantages of simple magnetic separation, specific molecular recognition, and high adsorption capacity. Combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), we developed a rapid, sensitive, efficient MSPE method for detecting SAs analytes. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection were low to 0.1 μg/kg, and the recoveries of SAs analytes were ranged between 90.2 and 99.9%. In addition, the precision values were ranged between 0.5 and 9.1%. This method was successfully applied to analyze SAs in fish and shrimp samples with satisfactory recoveries.

Performance of a sheathless porous tip sprayer for capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry of intact proteins

The performance of a prototype porous tip sprayer for sheathless capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) of intact proteins was studied. Capillaries with a porous tip were inserted in a stainless steel needle filled with static conductive liquid and installed in a conventional electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Using a BGE of 100 mM acetic acid (pH 3.1) and a positively charged capillary coating, a highly reproducible and efficient separation of four model proteins (insulin, carbonic anhydrase II, ribonuclease A and lysozyme) was obtained. The protein mass spectra were of good quality allowing reliable mass determination of the proteins and some of their impurities. Sheath-liquid CE-MS using the same porous tip capillary and an isopropanol-water-acetic acid sheath liquid showed slightly lower to similar analyte responses. However, as noise levels increased with sheath-liquid CE-MS, detection limits were improved by a factor 6.5-20 with sheathless CE-MS. The analyte response in sheathless CE-MS could be enhanced using a nanoESI source and adding 5% isopropanol to the BGE, leading to improved detection limits by 50-fold to 140-fold as compared to sheath liquid interfacing using the same capillary - equivalent to sub-nM detection limits for three out of four proteins. Clearly, the sheathless porous tip sprayer provides high sensitivity CE-MS of intact proteins.     

Simultaneous determination of different classes of antibiotics in fish and livestock by CE-MS

A specific CE-MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 12 antibacterial residues (four sulfonamides: sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, sulfadiazine, and sulfachlorpyridazine; four beta-lactams: amoxicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, and penicillin V, and four quinolones: danofloxacin, enrofloxacin, ofloxacin, and flumequine) in fish and livestock. Separation conditions, sheath liquid composition and electrospray parameters were optimized to obtain adequate CE separation and a high sensitivity. CE employed a 75 cm long fused-silica capillary (50 cm thermostated plus 25 cm at room temperature) 75 microm id and a 60 mM ammonium acetate separation buffer at pH 8 with 10% of methanol. The minimum number of identification points, according to the 2002/657/EC European Decision, was achieved using an IT in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. For quantification in meat and fish samples, a two-step procedure was developed using ACN to extract the antibacterials and to precipitate the proteins and dispersive SPE, with C18 to clean up the extract. External matrix matched calibration curves were used to achieve accurate quantitative results. The LODs and LOQs (below 18 and 50 ng/kg, respectively) were in all cases lower than the maximum residue limits for these compounds in meat and fish. The recoveries ranged from 78 to 97% and the precision with RSDs lower than 18% indicate the potential of CE-MS for the analysis of multiclass antibacterial residues in food. The method was applied to meat and fish samples taken from markets, slaughterhouses, and fish farms.     

Analysis of seven purines and pyrimidines in pork meat products by ultra high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

An ultra high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method (UPLC–MS/MS) is proposed for the simultaneous quantification of inosine, adenosine, guanosine, uridine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid in pork meat, dry-cured and cooked ham. Samples were added with ¹⁵N₂-xanthine (internal standard) and extracted with boiling water for 30 min. Supernatants were washed with hexane, added with formic acid 10% in water, methanol:acetone (1:1, v/v), evaporated to dryness under N₂, and finally re-dissolved in water prior to injection. Chromatographic separation was carried out with a HSS T3 column with a total time of analysis of 15 min. Two specific transitions for each compound were used for identification and quantification (with matrix matched calibration curves). Linearity, limit of detection, repeatability and accuracy were evaluated. The method was used to quantify the seven purines and pyrimidines in 15 commercial samples.     

Determination of alkyl alkylphosphonic acids by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry using a dicationic reagent

A new analytical method based on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) is proposed and validated for the identification and quantification of alkyl alkylphosphonic acids (AAPAs) in aqueous matrices. Retrospective detection and identification of degradation products of chemical warfare agents is important as an indicator of possible use of chemical warfare agents or of environmental contamination. A commercially available solution of 1,9‐nonanediyl‐bis‐(3‐methylimidazolium)bisfluoride (NBMI) allowed detection of AAPAs by positive mode electrospray ionization mass spectrometry by forming an adduct with AAPAs. MS/MS experiments using an ion trap analyzer were carried out for unambiguous identification of AAPAs. Different parameters were optimized in order to obtain both an adequate chromatographic separation and a high sensitivity using experimental design methodology. Quantification was done with matrix‐matched calibration standards of AAPAs. The method was validated in terms of linearity (r² >0.982), intra‐ and inter‐day precisions (RSD below 15%), and robustness. The method is sensitive enough for the determination of AAPAs in aqueous matrices, with limits of detection in the 1–5 ng mL^–1 range and limits of quantification in the 5–20 ng mL^–1 range. Finally, the method was successfully applied to determine these AAPAs in aqueous samples provided by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons during 26^th and 29^th official proficiency tests. The added advantage of this method is identification of low mass range analyte at high mass range, which obviates the background noise at low mass range.

Efficient and highly reproducible capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry of peptides using Polybrene-poly(vinyl sulfonate)-coated capillaries

The potential of capillaries noncovalently coated with a bilayer of oppositely charged polymers for the analysis of peptides by CE-MS was investigated. Bilayer coatings were produced by subsequently rinsing fused-silica capillaries with a solution of Polybrene (PB) and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (PVS). The PB-PVS coating showed to be fully compatible with MS detection causing no ionization suppression or background signals. The bilayer coating provided a considerable EOF at low pH, thereby facilitating the fast separation of peptides using a BGE of formic acid (pH 2.5). Under optimized CE-MS conditions, for enkephalin peptides high separation efficiencies were obtained with plate numbers in the range of 300,000-500,000. It is demonstrated that both the cancellation of the hydrodynamic capillary flow induced by the nebulizer gas and a sufficiently high-data acquisition rate are crucial for achieving these efficiencies. The overall performance of the CE-MS system using PB-PVS-coated capillaries was evaluated by the analysis of a tryptic digest of cytochrome c. The system provided an efficient separation of the peptide mixture, which could be effectively monitored by MS/MS detection allowing identification of at least 13 peptides within a time interval of 1.5 min. In addition, the PB-PVS coating proved to be very consistent yielding stable CE-MS patterns with highly favorable migration time reproducibilities (RSDs < 1% over a 3-day period).
