Solid-phase extraction of soy isoflavones

An automated method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the concentration and clean-up of soy isoflavone extracts is proposed in this work. Using a standardized sample (0.1 g of a freeze dried soybean extract/25 mL of water); eight SPE cartridges with a wide range of sorbents (C18, divinylbenzene and modified divinylbenzene) from different suppliers were evaluated and compared. A large variation on SPE cartridges performance was observed, especially regarding retention and breakthrough volume of isoflavones during sample load and washing steps. The most effective cartridges were the divinylbenzene based cartridges, especially Strata X (from Phenomenex) and HLB oasis (from Waters). Using Strata X cartridges, several extraction parameters, such as sample loading flow (5-15 mL min(-1)), extracting solvent volume (2-6 mL of methanol), pH of the extracting solvent and the necessity of drying the sorbent before elution, were evaluated to provide a fast, specific, quantitative and reproducible SPE method. The optimized method consists of conditioning the cartridge with 10 mL of methanol and 10 mL of water (10 mL min(-1)), loading 25 mL of the standardized extract onto the cartridges (5 mL min(-1)), washing the cartridge with 10 mL of water (10 mL min(-1)) and finally eluting with 4 mL of methanol (10 mL min(-1)). Mean isoflavones recovery was 99.37% and mean intra- and inter-day reproducibility was higher than 98%. The developed sample clean-up/concentration (6.25:1) method takes less than 10 min and can be used in the analysis of isoflavones from soy extracts.     

Optimisation of solvent desorption conditions for chemical warfare agent and simulant compounds from Porapak Q using experimental design. Part 2: Extraction of sulphur mustard from steel and glass Porapak tubes

The ion-pair solid-phase extraction (SPE) of 4-alkylphenols followed by derivatization with pentafluoropyridine is demonstrated. Under alkaline conditions, the 4-alkylphenols could be efficiently adsorbed on a C18 SPE cartridge conditioned with an ion-pair reagent, tetra-n-hexylammonium bromide. The ion pairs, ammonium phenolates, formed on the C18 solid phase, were eluted with a solvent containing the derivatizing reagent, pentafluoropyridine, and completely derivatized during the elution. After optimization of the adsorption and derivatization, we established a method for the determination of the 4-alkylphenols in water samples. The method showed good linearity between 20 and 1000 ng (200-10,000 ng for nonylphenol). By processing 20-ml samples, the method detection limits (MDL) were in the range of 5.2-8.9 ng/l for the 4-alkylphenols (76 ng/l for nonylphenol). To evaluate its applicability to a real aqueous matrix, several river water samples were analyzed.     

Application of an ampholine‐functionalized hybrid organic–inorganic silica material for the SPE of aromatic amines

An SPE cartridge based on an ampholine‐functionalized hybrid organic–inorganic silica sorbent has been adopted for the analysis of aromatic amines including 4‐aminobiphenyl, benzidine, 2‐naphthylamine, p‐chloroaniline, 2,4,5‐trimethylaniline, and 3,3′‐dichlorobenzidine. Crucial variables governing the extraction efficiency of the material such as the pH of sample, sample loading volume, solvent used for elution, and elution volume have been thoroughly optimized. The adsorption capacities for the six aromatic amines ranged from 0.17 to 1.82 μg/mg. The recoveries of aromatic amines spiked in textile samples ranged from 78.9 to 103.0%, with RSDs of 1.1–11.9% (n = 3). Moreover, the extraction efficiency of the ampholine‐functionalized hybrid organic–inorganic silica sorbent was at least comparable with that of Oasis WCX.     

SPE – Microwave‐assisted extraction coupled system for the extraction of pesticides from water samples

SPE is a commonly applied technique for preconcentration of pesticides from water samples. Microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) technique is the extraction applied for preconcentration of different compounds from solid samples. SPE coupled with MAE is capable of preconcentrating these compounds from water samples too. This investigation was aimed at improving the efficiency of atrazine, alachlor, and α‐cypermethrin pesticide extraction from the spiked water samples applying SPE followed by MAE. In this way, MAE served for elution of pesticides from C₁₈‐extraction disks with solvent heated by microwave energy. Various elution conditions were tested for their effects on the extraction efficiency of the SPE–MAE combined technique. Several parameters, such as elution solvent volume (mL), elution temperature (°C), and duration of elution (min), affect the extraction efficiency of the SPE–MAE coupled system and need to be optimized for the selected pesticides. In order to develop a mathematical model, 15 experiments were performed in the central composite design. The equation was then used to predict recoveries of the pesticides under specific experimental conditions. Optimization of microwave extraction was accomplished using the genetic algorithm approach. Best results were achieved using 20 mL of ethanol at 60°C. Optimal hold time was 5 min and 24 s. The SPE–MAE combination was also compared with the conventional SPE extraction technique with elution of a nonpolar or a moderately polar compound with nonpolar solvents.

Solid-phase Extraction for Analysis of Short-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins in Water Samples

A method for analysis of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in water based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) was established using electron capture negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry (GC-ENCI-MS). The SPE parameters, including the sorbent, eluent and elution volume were optimized. The Agilent Bond Elut-C₁₈ was precleaned with 3 mL of hexane and 3 mL of methanol, and subsequently conditioned with 3 mL H₂O prior to use. After the water samples were enriched by the cartridge, the sample was washed with 3 mL of 10% (V/V) methanol and eluted with 3 mL of hexane-dichloromethane (1:1, V/V) solution. The results indicated that the limits of detection (LOD) for SCCPs were 18 ng L^?1, while the corresponding limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 60 ng L^?1. The spiked recovery range was 90%–135%, with a relative standard deviation of less than 10%. Finally, 20 surficial water samples around Beijing were collected and SCCPs contents were analyzed using the proposed method. The SCCPs concentrations ranged from less than LOD to 682 ng L^?1 with a mean concentration of 216 ng L^?1.     

Graphene as an efficient sorbent for the SPE of organochlorine pesticides in water samples coupled with GC–MS

The determination of organochlorine pesticides in water samples, which are harmful to humans, is very important for environmental risk assessment. Based on the excellent adsorption properties of graphene, an SPE coupled with GC–MS method for the monitoring of organochlorines (four hexachlorcyclohexanes and four dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes) was developed. Owing to the hydrophobic interaction and π–π stacking interaction between the analytes and graphene, the analytes quantitatively adsorbed onto the graphene‐based SPE cartridge were eluted by ethyl acetate for analysis. Several parameters influencing the analytical performance, such as the kind of elution, sample volume, reusability of the cartridge, have been investigated in detail. Under the optimal conditions, detection of limits of 1.95–9.38 ng/L, recoveries of 83.9–107.3% at two spiked concentration levels (0.1 and 10 ng/mL) and RSDs in the range of 2.9–7.4% for real water samples were obtained for all the analytes. This work reveals the great potential of graphene in sample preparation procedures.     

Solid-phase extraction with liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection for the assay of antidepressant drugs in human plasma

A solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for sample clean-up followed by a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure for the assay of five antidepressant drugs (trazodone, doxepin, desipramine, maprotiline and imipramine) is reported. The drugs were recovered from plasma buffered at a suitable pH using C18 Bond-Elut cartridges and mixtures of methanol-aqueous buffer as washing and elution solvents. The recoveries of the drugs using other sorbent materials (C8, C2, cyclohexyl, cyanopropyl and phenyl Bond Elut and copolymer HLB waters cartridges) were also examined. The selectivity of SPE was examined by using spiked plasma samples and the CH cartridge gave rise to the cleanest extracts. Cyclohexyl cartridges were conditioned successively with 2 ml of methanol and 1 ml of acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 4.0). Plasma sample was buffered at pH 4.0 and then applied to the sorbent. The washing step was performed subsequently with 1.5 ml of acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 4.0), 100 microl of acetonitrile and 1 ml of methanol-acetate buffer (30:70, v/v). Finally, the analytes were eluted with 0.5 ml of methanol-acetate buffer (70:30, v/v). The extract was evaporated to dryness, reconstituted in mobile phase, and chromatographed on a reversed-phase C18 column with ultraviolet detection at 215 nm. The recoveries of trazodone, doxepin, desipramine, maprotiline and imipramine from spiked plasma samples using the CH cartridge were 58 2, 84 3, 83 3, 83 3 and 82 2%, respectively. The within-day and between-day repeatabilities were lower than 6% and 9%, respectively. The linearity of calibrations for the five antidepressants was between 0.005 and 2 microg/ml. The limits of detection were 1 ng/ml for trazodone, doxepin and desipramine and 2 ng/ml for maprotiline and imipramine.     

Solid-phase extraction versus solid-phase microextraction for the determination of chlorinated paraffins in water using gas chromatography-negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) were evaluated for the analysis of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in water samples using gas chromatography coupled to negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS). For SPE optimisation, four commercially available SPE cartridges were tested and several SPE parameters, such as the elution solvent, elution volume and breakthrough volume were studied. The best results were obtained with Varian Bond Elut-C18. In order to achieve a high selectivity in the determination of SCCPs, GC-NCI-MS was used. Quality parameters of the optimised SPE and SPME procedures were determined, and the best results were obtained for the SPE/GC-NCI-MS method with LODs of 5 and 20 ng l(-1) for tap and river water, respectively. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of SCCPs in river water samples at concentrations below the microg l(-1) level.     

Selective trace enrichment of acidic pharmaceuticals in real water and sediment samples based on solid-phase extraction using multi-templates molecularly imprinted polymers

A novel multi-templates molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), using acidic pharmaceuticals mixture (ibuprofen (IBP), naproxen (NPX), ketoprofen (KEP), diclofenac (DFC), and clofibric acid (CA)) as the template, was prepared as solid-phase extraction (SPE) material for the quantitative enrichment of acidic pharmaceuticals in environmental samples and off-line coupled with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Washing solvent was optimized in terms of kind and volume for removing the matrix constituents nonspecifically adsorbed on the MIP. When 1 L of water sample spiked at 1 μg/L was loaded onto the cartridge, the binding capacity of the MIP cartridge were 48.7 μg/g for KEP, 60.7 μg/g for NPX, 52 μg/g for CA, 61.3 μg/g for DFC and 60.7 μg/g for IBP, respectively, which are higher than those of the commercial single template MIP in organic medium (e.g. toluene) reported in the literature. Recoveries of the five acidic pharmaceuticals extracted from 1 L of real water samples such as lake water and wastewater spiked at 1 μg/L were more than 95%. The recoveries of acidic pharmaceuticals extracted from 10-g sediment sample spiked at the 10 ng/g level were in the range of 77.4–90.6%. To demonstrate the potential of the MIP obtained, a comparison with commercial C18 SPE cartridge was performed. Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) cartridge showed higher recoveries than commercial C18 SPE cartridge for acidic pharmaceuticals. These results showed the suitability of the MISPE method for the selective extraction of a group of structurally related compounds such as acidic pharmaceuticals.

Membrane solid-phase extraction with closed vessel microwave elution for the determination of phenolic compounds in aqueous matrices

Preconcentration of phenolic compounds was carried out with Empore C₁₈ membrane disks, which were eluted with a closed-vessel microwave extraction system. The optimum microwave-elution conditions were obtained by optimizing the elution solvent, elution temperature, duration of elution and volume of elution solvent. The recoveries of eleven phenolic compounds spiked at 10 and 500 g/L levels into water, using the optimum conditions, were all above 85% with relative standard deviations between 4.0 and 10.0%, except for phenol and 4-nitrophenol. Extraction of an industrial waste water sample suspected of containing phenolic compounds by SPE-CVME showed similar recoveries of phenol (the only phenolic compound detected) when compared with LLE and C₁₈ SPE cartridge techniques. Analysis of phenolic compounds was carried out using liquid chromatography coupled to a UV detection system.     

Tandem use of solid-phase extraction and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction for the determination of mononitrotoluenes in aquatic environment

Solid‐phase extraction (SPE) in tandem with dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been developed for the determination of mononitrotoluenes (MNTs) in several aquatic samples using gas chromatography‐flame ionization (GC‐FID) detection system. In the hyphenated SPE‐DLLME, initially MNTs were extracted from a large volume of aqueous samples (100 mL) into a 500‐mg octadecyl silane (C₁₈) sorbent. After the elution of analytes from the sorbent with acetonitrile, the obtained solution was put under the DLLME procedure, so that the extra preconcentration factors could be achieved. The parameters influencing the extraction efficiency such as breakthrough volume, type and volume of the elution solvent (disperser solvent) and extracting solvent, as well as the salt addition, were studied and optimized. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.5–500 μg/L and the limit of detection for all analytes was found to be 0.2 μg/L. The relative standard deviations (for 0.75 μg/L of MNTs) without internal standard varied from 2.0 to 6.4% (n=5). The relative recoveries of the well, river and sea water samples, spiked at the concentration level of 0.75 μg/L of the analytes, were in the range of 85–118%.     

Combination of solid-phase extraction-hollow fiber for ultra-preconcentration of some triazole pesticides followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection

In this study, an extraction and preconcentration technique using solid-phase extraction (SPE) along with hollow fiber (HF) has been developed as an ultra-preconcentration technique for some triazole pesticides in aqueous samples. Triazole pesticides were employed as model compounds to assess the method and were monitored by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Initially, an aqueous solution of target analytes was passed through an RP-8 SPE cartridge and then the adsorbed analytes were eluted with μL amounts of toluene. The collected elute was slowly introduced into an HF that had one end blocked. This allowed precipitation inside the lumen and pores of the HF. Finally, the obtained HF was mounted on a home-made solid-phase microextraction syringe and entered into the GC injection port for thermal desorption-GC analysis. The effect of various experimental parameters including injection port temperature, desorption time, state of HF, washing solvent, elution solvent and its volume, sample volume, etc. were investigated for finding the optimum conditions. The calibration graphs were linear in the ranges of 2-1000 ng/mL (penconazole and hexaconazole), 5-1000 ng/mL (tebuconazole), 15-1000 ng/mL (triticonazole) and the detection limits (LODs) ranged from 0.6 to 4.5 ng/mL. The enhancement factors were in the range of 870-950. The relative standard deviations (RSD%) for five repeated experiments (C=250 ng/mL of each pesticide) varied from 4.5 to 8.7%. The relative recoveries obtained for analytes in grape juice samples, spiked with different levels of each pesticide, were in the range of 87-119%.     

Evaluation of solid‐phase extraction procedures for the quantitation of venlafaxine in human saliva by high‐performance liquid chromatography

In recent years, the use of human saliva for diagnostic purposes has evoked great interest. Thus, the aim of this study was to choose the optimal solid‐phase extraction cartridges and extraction solvents for the quantitation of venlafaxine in saliva. Blank saliva samples spiked with venlafaxine concentrations between 25 and 750 ng/mL were analyzed using five solid‐phase extraction columns (C18, C8, Strata‐X, Strata‐X‐C, and Strata‐X‐AW), washing solvents (deionized water, phosphate buffer at pH 5.5, and their mixtures with methanol), and elution solvents (methanol, acetonitrile, and their mixtures with 25% ammonia). A high‐performance liquid chromatography system was used to quantify venlafaxine in saliva. The results of this study revealed that nine of 25 procedures enabled quantitation of venlafaxine in the tested concentration range. The procedure that used a C18 cartridge, a mixture of methanol and deionized water as the washing solvent, and methanol as the elution solvent was the most effective and allowed quantitation of all venlafaxine concentrations with an acceptable recovery. In contrast, the Strata‐X‐C cartridge could not detect venlafaxine at the lowest concentration (25 ng/mL). The data acquired from the high‐performance liquid chromatography system were confirmed by a multivariate data analysis.     

Preconcentration of organochlorine pesticides in aqueous samples by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop after SPE with multiwalled carbon nanotubes

SPE joined with dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME‐SFO) as a novel technique combined with GC with electron‐capture detection has been developed as a preconcentration technique for the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in water samples. Aqueous samples were loaded onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes as sorbent. After the elution of the desired compounds from the sorbent by using acetone, the DLLME‐SFO technique was performed on the obtained solution. Variables affecting the performance of both steps such as sample solution flow rate, breakthrough volume, type and volume of the elution, type and volume of extraction solvent and salt addition were studied and optimized. The new method provided an ultra enrichment factor (8280–28221) for nine OCPs. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.5–1000 ng/L, and the LODs ranged from 0.1–0.39 ng/L. The RSD, for 0.01 μg/L of OCPs, was in the range of 1.39–13.50% (n = 7). The recoveries of method in water samples were 70–113%.

The optimized method was successfully applied to the determination of 16 PAHs in real airborne particulate matters.     

Bamboo charcoal as adsorbent for SPE coupled with monolithic column-HPLC for rapid determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples

The coupling of solid-phase extraction (SPE) using bamboo charcoal (BC) as an adsorbent with a monolithic column-high performance liquid chromatography (MC-HPLC) method was developed for the high-efficiency enrichment and rapid determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water. Key influence factors, such as the type and the volume of the elution solvent, and the flow rate and the volume of the sample loading, were optimized to obtain a high SPE recovery and extraction efficiency. BC as an SPE adsorbent presented a high extraction efficiency due to its large specific surface area and high adsorption capacity; MC as an HPLC column accelerated the separation within 8 min because of its high porosity, fast mass transfer, and low-pressure resistance. The calibration curves for the PAHs extracted were linear in the range of 0.2-15 μg/L, with the correlation coefficients (r(2)) between 0.9970-0.9999. This method attained good precisions (relative standard deviation, RSD) from 3.5 to 10.9% for the standard PAHs I aqueous solutions at 5 μg/L; the method recoveries ranged in 52.6-121.6% for real spiked river water samples with 0.4 and 4 μg/L. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) of the method were determined from 11 and 87 ng/L. The developed method was demonstrated to be applicable for the rapid and sensitive determination of 16 PAHs in real environmental water samples.

In this work, an ampholine‐functionalized hybrid organic–inorganic silica sorbent was successfully used to extract melamine from a milk formula sample by a hydrophilic interaction solid‐phase extraction protocol. Primary factors affecting the extraction efficiency of the material such as extraction solvent, elution solvent, sample loading volume, and elution volume have been thoroughly optimized. Under the optimized hydrophilic solid‐phase extraction conditions, the recoveries of melamine spiked in milk formula samples ranged from 86.2 to 101.8% with relative standard deviations of 4.1–9.4% (n = 3). The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 0.32 μg/g. The adsorption capacity toward melamine was 30 μg of melamine per grams of sorbent. Due to its simplicity, rapidity and cost effectiveness, the newly developed hydrophilic solid‐phase extraction method should provide a promising tool for daily monitoring of doped melamine in milk formula.
