Simultaneous Measurement of Urinary Ketamine,Norketamine, and Dehydronorketamine by Liquid Chromatography‐Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry

A liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry has been developed for the determination of ketamine, norketamine, and dehydronorketamine in human urine. A separation of these analytes in urine samples without tedious pretreatment procedures has been achieved within 10 min. Linear calibration curves of these analytes with coefficients better than 0.998 have been obtained over a wide range from 12.5 to 200 ng/mL. The accuracy was between 2.1% and 7.2% with detection limits at levels of 0.02 ng/mL, 0.02 ng/mL and 0.93 ng/mL for ketamine, norketamine and dehydronorketamine, respectively. The results demonstrate the suitability of the liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry approach to analyze trace ketamine, norketamine and dehydronorketamine in urine. Urinary ketamine and norketamine levels were relatively low at 4–24 h intervals and were difficult to assay in a normal laboratory. In the present study, the determination of urinary dehydronorketamine levels at 2–24 hours appears to have a great potential for use in Schedule III controlled drugs management.

Nontargeted Screening Using Gas Chromatography–Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Recent Trends and Emerging Potential

Gas chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC–HRMS) is a powerful nontargeted screening technique that promises to accelerate the identification of environmental pollutants. Currently, most GC–HRMS instruments are equipped with electron ionization (EI), but atmospheric pressure ionization (API) ion sources have attracted renewed interest because: (i) collisional cooling at atmospheric pressure minimizes fragmentation, resulting in an increased yield of molecular ions for elemental composition determination and improved detection limits; (ii) a wide range of sophisticated tandem (ion mobility) mass spectrometers can be easily adapted for operation with GC–API; and (iii) the conditions of an atmospheric pressure ion source can promote structure diagnostic ion–molecule reactions that are otherwise difficult to perform using conventional GC–MS instrumentation. This literature review addresses the merits of GC–API for nontargeted screening while summarizing recent applications using various GC–API techniques. One perceived drawback of GC–API is the paucity of spectral libraries that can be used to guide structure elucidation. Herein, novel data acquisition, deconvolution and spectral prediction tools will be reviewed. With continued development, it is anticipated that API may eventually supplant EI as the de facto GC–MS ion source used to identify unknowns.

Determination of Organic Acids in Ground Water by Liquid Chromatography/Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization/Mass Spectrometry

ABSTRACT

Current methods of determining organic acids in ground water are labor-intensive, time-consuming and require a large volume of sample (100 milliliter to 1.0 liter). This paper reports a new method developed to determine aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic acids in ground water using liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (LC/APCI/MS). This method was shown to be fast (less than 1 hour), effective, and reproducible, requiring only 1.0 mL of ground-water sample. Ground water was pH-adjusted, filtered through 0.45 μm filters and directly injected into the LC. A binary solvent system consisting of 40 mM of aqueous ammonium acetate and methanol and a C18 column were used for chromatographical separation. The APCI was operated under negative ionization mode. Selected ion monitoring (SIM) was used for detection and quantitation of the analytes. This method was applied to the analysis of organic acids in ground-water samples collected from an aquifer contaminated with JP-4 fuel hydrocarbons at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda, Michigan. Aromatic acids identified in the contaminated ground water include o-, m-toluic acids (2- and 3-methylbenzoic acids), 2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid, 2,3,5- and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoic acids and two additional trimethylbenzoic acids with unknown location of methylation. The detection of aromatic acids in groundwater from the KC-135 site provided evidence for in situ microbial degradation of hydrocarbons occurring in the aquifer.
