Automation in the chemical analysis of suspect arson samples by GC/MS. A systematic approach

A method ist described that permits direct comparison of ion chromatograms between an isolate from a suspect fire debris sample and corresponding accelerant profiles. The system is highly automated and produces a diagnostic one page summary report for each sample. Side by side comparison of ion profiles is carried out between 4 common fuel types, e. g. gasoline, naphthenic type charcoal lighter fluid, mineral spirits, and kerosene, and the sample. Both qualitative and semiquantitative information is available. An on-line search can also be carried out in which mass spectra are compared between components in a suspect sample and standards that are contained in an accelerant library. The system is flexible and requires only minimal interaction with the analyst.     

Gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for the characterization of complex mixtures of large oligosaccharides

High temperature gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry are used in the characterization of complex natural mixtures of permethylated oligosaccharides released from proteins or lipids. The high resolution allows separation of isomeric compounds and the mass range extends to oligosac-charides around molecular mass 2000 daltons or 10 sugar residues for isomalto-oligosaccharides. The mass spectra of permethylated oligosaccharide alditols from mucin glycopeptides are very informative and the approach allows a simple and rapid characterization of these complex components.     

Analysis of turkish lignite tar by coupled LC/GC,GC/MS,and capillary SFC

This work describes the analysis of a pyrolysis product of a lignite sample obtained from the Turkish Goynuk reserve. The aliphatic, aromatic and polar compounds present in the tar are separated and identified by various chromatographic techniques: Capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), on-line high performance microbore liquid chromatography/capillary gas chromatography (LC/GC) and capillary supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The suitability of each technique for this particular application is discussed, and semi-quantitative results are presented for the major components detected.

对2008年一道高考化学题的实验研究——是对甲基苯酚还是邻甲基苯酚

2008年一道高考化学题曾引起过不小的争论。争论的焦点是,一种甲基苯酚,与溴水反应生成的一溴代物只有2种,它应该是对甲基苯酚还是邻甲基苯酚?为了解决上述问题,用GC/MS法进行了实验研究。结果表明：对甲基苯酚与溴水反应生成的一溴代物只能观察到1种,而邻甲基苯酚与溴水反应生成的一溴代物则能观察到2种,二者均未观察到生成羟基间位溴代产物。由此可得出结论,该化合物应该是邻甲基苯酚。

Analysis of anabolic steroids in hair by GC/MS/MS

A simple and sensitive gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) method is described for the detection of anabolic steroids, usually found in keratin matrix at very low concentrations. Hair samples from seven athletes who spontaneously reported their abuse of anabolic steroids, and in a single case cocaine, were analyzed for methyltestosterone, nandrolone, boldenone, fluoxymesterolone, cocaine and its metabolite benzoylecgonine. Anabolic steroids were determinate by digestion of hair samples in 1 m NaOH for 15 min at 95 degrees C. After cooling, samples were purificated by solid-phase and liquid-liquid extraction, then anabolic steroids were converted to their trimethylsilyl derivative and finally analyzed by GC/MS/MS. For detection of cocaine and benzoylecgonine, hair samples were extracted with methanol in an ultrasonic bath for 2 h at 56 degrees C then overnight in a thermostatic bath at the same temperature. After the incubation, methanol was evaporated to dryness, and benzoylecgonine was converted to its trimethylsilyl derivative prior of GC/MS/MS analysis. Results obtained are in agreement with the athletes' reports, confirming that hair is a valid biological matrix to establish long-term intake of drugs.

Residential wood combustion: A source of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Samples were taken of the atmospheric particulate matter over Fairbanks Alaska in the winter of 1985, and from wood stoves burning the major wood types locally available. These samples were then analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). A PAH emission profile was determined from the wood stove samples and applied to the atmospheric samples to determine the residential wood combustion contribution to the local atmospheric particulate burden. Emission profiles for coal burning and automobile emissions for PAH were also used to estimate their relative contributions.     

Determination of 48 fragrance allergens in toys using GC with ion trap MS/MS

This paper presents a method for the simultaneous determination of 48 fragrance allergens in four types of toys (plastic toys, play clays, plush toys, and paper toys) based on GC with ion trap MS/MS. Compared with single‐stage MS, MS/MS is superior in terms of the qualification and quantification of a large range of compounds in complicated matrices. Procedures for extraction and purification were optimized for each toy type. The method proved to be linear over a wide range of concentrations for all analytes with correlation coefficients between 0.9768 and 0.9999. Validation parameters, namely, LODs and LOQs, ranged from 0.005–5.0 and from 0.02–20 mg/kg, respectively. Average recoveries of target compounds (spiked at three concentration levels) were in the range of 79.5–109.1%. Intraday and interday repeatabilities of the proposed method varied from 0.7–10.5% and from 3.1–13.4%, respectively. The proposed method was used to monitor fragrance allergens in commercial toy products. Our findings indicate that this method is an accurate and effective technique for analyzing fragrance allergens in materials composed of complex components.
