Application of d-SPE before SPE and HPLC-FLD to Analyze Bisphenols in Human Breast Milk Samples

In this study, we propose a simple, cost-effective, and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) for the simultaneous determination of seven bisphenols (bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol B (BPB), BADGE (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether), BADGE∙2H₂O, BADGE∙H₂O, BADGE∙2HCl) in human breast milk samples. The dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) coupled with solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure performed well for the majority of the analytes with recoveries in the range 57–88% and relative standard deviations (RSD%) of less than 9.4%. During the d-SPE stage, no significant matrix effect was observed thanks to the application of different pairs of salts such as zirconium-dioxide-based sorbents (Z-Sep or Z-Sep +) and primary secondary amine (PSA) or QuEChERS Enhanced Matrix Removal-Lipid (EMR-Lipid) and PSA. The method limits of quantification (mLOQs) for all investigated analytes were set at satisfactory low values in the range 171.89–235.11 ng mL⁻¹. Analyte concentrations were determined as the average value from human breast milk matrix samples. The results show that the d-SPE/SPE procedure, especially with the application of EMR-Lipid and PSA, could be used for further bisphenol analyses in human breast milk samples.

Quantification of five neonicotinoids in human urine by modified QuEChERS with isotope dilution mass spectrometry: a preliminary study for the development of certified reference material

ABSTRACT

A study for the quantification method of neonicotinoid pesticides (Neos) in human urine that aims to develop the certified reference material (CRM) in the future was carried out. A modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method based on dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) with isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) was evaluated for the quantification of five Neos (acetamiprid, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam) in human urine control by optimisation of the extraction solvent, and the type and amount of d-SPE material. Two types of human urine controls (sample A and B) containing 5 μg/kg and/or 25 μg/kg of Neos were prepared and employed for this study. The results of spike test using sample A (2 mL) obtained by modified QuEChERS method with acetone extraction (10 mL) and d-SPE using a strong cation exchanger (silica gel modified with benzenesulphonic acid phase, SCX) 500 mg were as follows: 97.8%–103.1% for 5 μg/kg and 97.2%–102.7% for 25 μg/kg (described as percentage by the quantification results of IDMS relative to the spiked amount of pesticides). These results were comparable to those by SPE cartridge method using SCX functionalised hydrophilic styrene divinylbenzene (PCX). The repeatabilities of the analyses, represented as relative standard deviations, were also comparable for spike level 5 μg/kg and 25 μg/kg of Neos: 0.1%–7.2% for modified QuEChERS with IDMS and 0.2%–5.6% for PCX cartridge method. The results of spike test using sample B for a spike level 5 μg/kg were 96.0%–100.6%. These results indicate that modified QuEChERS method with IDMS can be used for the development of certified reference material and has the potential to use for the quantification of Neos in real human urine.     

Determination of Methylene Blue and Its Metabolite Residues in Aquatic Products by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

A sensitive and reliable method was developed to determine methylene blue (MB) and its metabolite residues, including azure A (AZA), azure B (AZB), and azure C (AZC) in aquatic products by HPLC–MS/MS. The samples were extracted by acetonitrile and cleaned up by alumina-neutral (ALN) cartridges. The analytes were separated on a Sunfire C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 µm). The method was validated according to the European criteria of Commission Decision 2002/657/CE. Good linearity between 1–500 µg/L was obtained with correlation coefficients (R²) greater than 0.99. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1.0 µg/kg. The average recoveries at three levels of each compound (1, 5, and 10 µg/kg) were demonstrated to be in the range of 71.8–97.5%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 1.05% to 8.63%. This method was suitable for the detection of methylene blue and its metabolite residues in aquatic products.     

Rapid multiplug filtration cleanup method for the determination of 124 pesticide residues in rice,wheat, and corn

A simple and rapid multiplug filtration cleanup method based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes was developed to determine 124 pesticide residues in rice, wheat, and corn, which could be done in a few seconds without conditioning and elution steps. Various combinations of sorbents were optimized for each matrix with a dispersive solid‐phase extraction procedure to get a satisfactory recovery and clean‐up performance. Good linearity was obtained for all pesticides with calibration curve coefficients larger than 0.9958. Most recoveries for the majority pesticides were between 70 and 120% (n = 5) with relative standard deviations below 20%. The limit of detection was 0.1–1.3 μg/kg, and the limit of quantification was 0.2–4.3 μg/kg for the pesticides in all matrices. The work suggests that the multiplug filtration cleanup method is better than the dispersive solid‐phase extraction method and it could be applied to routinely monitor pesticide residues in market samples.

New dispersive solid phase extraction sorbent of graphitic carbon nitride for field evaluation and dissipation kinetics of pesticides in wheat ecosystem by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

Nanosheets of graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) were used as the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) sorbent for the first time. GCN successfully purified complex matrices of soil, wheat, and wheat straw utilising a simple QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Pesticides recoveries in the range of 80–110%, small matrix effect, and decreased amounts guaranteed and distinguished this new sorbent. The application of a real formulation of pesticides under field conditions during 2015 in the wheat ecosystem illustrated the clean-up effect and application potential of GCN. It is a valuable and potential substitute for C18 according to the results comparison between two sorbents, including recoveries, matrix-matched calibration, and dissipation kinetics of pesticides. The new use of GCN also enriched the knowledge of d-SPE and sample preparation furthermore.     

Streamlined sample cleanup using combined dispersive solid-phase extraction and in-vial filtration for analysis of pesticides and environmental pollutants in shrimp

A new method of sample preparation was developed and is reported for the first time. The approach combines in-vial filtration with dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) in a fast and convenient cleanup of QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extracts. The method was applied to simultaneous analysis of 42 diverse pesticides and 17 environmental contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and flame retardants, in shrimp as the sample matrix. Final extracts were analyzed by both low-pressure gas chromatography – triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LPGC-MS/MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography – triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) to provide a wide scope of analysis for targeted analytes. During method development, several different commercial sorbents for d-SPE were investigated and compared with respect to analyte recoveries. The method was validated at 10, 50, and 100 ng g⁻¹ spiking levels (10-fold lower for PCBs), and the results for nearly all analytes were between 70 and 115% recoveries with ≤17% relative standard deviations. The method was shown to be simple, fast, and effective for multi-application analysis of chemical residues in the representative food and environmental marker matrix.     

Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for the Simultaneous Analysis of 353 Pesticides in the Edible Insect Tenebrio molitor Larvae (Mealworms)

Tenebrio molitor larvae (mealworm) is an edible insect and is considered a future food. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a novel method for simultaneous analysis of 353 target analytes was developed and validated. Various sample preparation steps including “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” (QuEChERS) extraction conditions, number of acetonitrile-hexane partitions, and dispersive-solid phase extraction (dSPE) sorbents were compared, and the optimal conditions were determined. In the established method, 5 g of homogenized mealworms was extracted with acetonitrile and treated with QuEChERS EN 15662 salts. The crude extract was subjected to three rounds of acetonitrile-hexane partitioning, and the acetonitrile layer was cleaned with C18 dSPE. The final solution was matrix-matched and injected into LC-MS/MS (2 μL). For target analytes, the limits of quantitation (LOQs) were ≤10 μg/kg, and the correlation coefficient (r²) of calibration was >0.990. In recovery tests, more than 90% of the pesticides showed an excellent recovery range (70–120%) with relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤20%. For more than 94% of pesticides, a negligible matrix effect (within ±20%) was observed. The analytical method was successfully applied and used for the detection of three urea pesticides in 4 of 11 mealworm samples.

Simultaneous Determination of Tetracyclines and Fluoroquinolones in Poultry Eggs by UPLC Integrated with Dual-Channel-Fluorescence Detection Method

An innovative, rapid and stable method for simultaneous determination of three tetracycline (oxytetracycline, tetracycline and doxycycline) and two fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin) residues in poultry eggs by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–fluorescence detection (UPLC-FLD) was established and optimized. The samples were homogenized and extracted with acetonitrile/ultrapure water (90:10, v/v) and then purified by solid-phase extraction (SPE). LC separation was achieved on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (1.7 µm, 2.1 mm × 100 mm), and the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and a 0.1 mol/L malonic acid solution containing 50 mmol/L magnesium chloride (the pH was adjusted to 5.5 with ammonia). When the five target drugs were spiked at the limit of quantification, 0.5 times the maximum residue limit (MRL), 1.0 MRL and 2.0 MRL, the recoveries were above 83.5% and the precision ranged from 1.99% to 6.24%. These figures of merit complied with the parameter validation regulations of the EU and U.S. FDA. The limits of detection and quantifications of the targets were 0.1–13.4 µg/kg and 0.3–40.1 µg/kg, respectively. The proposed method was easily extended to quantitative analyses of target drug residues in 85 egg samples, thus demonstrating its reliability and applicability.     

Targeted Multiresidue Method for the Analysis of Different Classes of Pesticides in Agro-Food Industrial Sludge by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Sludge generated after washing of fruits and vegetables during agro-food processes is a complex matrix and selective methods for the identification and quantification of pesticides’ residues are necessary in order to achieve a sustainable and effective management of the total sewage. The present work describes the development and validation of a reliable, simple and fast analytical method based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of 47 pesticides of different chemical classes, including organosphosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, triazoles and others, in sludge samples after QuEChERS sample preparation. The necessity of the individual steps of QuEChERS was investigated and the LC-ESI-MS/MS conditions were optimized to achieve maximum sensitivity of the target analytes. The method limits of detection (LODs) ranged between 0.0005 mg/kg (imidacloprid) and 0.05 mg/kg (beta cyfluthrin). The recoveries ranged between 71–120% and the repeatability of the method was ≤25% expressed as relative standard deviation. The method was applied to sludge samples generated after washing of fruits in an agro-fruit-packaging unit in Greece. The results showed the presence of 37 pesticides’ active substances with concentrations ranging from low ppbs, such as fludioxinil (5 μg/kg) up to low ppms such as beta cyfluthrin (3.5 mg/kg) and with their sum concentration reaching up to 19 mg/kg.

Multi-Class Procedure for Analysis of 50 Antibacterial Compounds in Eggshells Using Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

In this work, for the first time, Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of veterinary antibiotics (cephalosporins, diaminopyrimidines, fluoro(quinolones), lincosamides, macrolides, penicillins, pleuromutilins, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and sulfones) in hen eggshells. The sample preparation method is based on a liquid–liquid extraction with a mixture of metaphosphoric acid, ascorbic acid, EDTA disodium salt dihydrate, and acetonitrile. The chromatographic separation was performed on Luna^® Omega Polar C18 10 column in gradient elution mode and quantitated in an 8 min run. Validation such as linearity, selectivity, precision, recovery, matrix effect, limit of quantification (LOQ), and limit of detection (LOD) was found to be within the acceptance criteria of the validation guidelines of the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and EUR 28099 EN. Average recoveries ranged from 81–120%. The calculated LOQ values ranged from 1 to 10 µg/kg, the LOD values ranged from 0.3 to 4.0 µg/kg, depending on analyte. The developed method has been successfully applied to the determination of antibacterial compounds in hen eggshell samples obtained from different sources. The results revealed that enrofloxacin, lincomycin, doxycycline, and oxytetracycline were detected in hen eggshell samples.     

Effect of Sample Preparation on the Detection and Quantification of Selected Nuts Allergenic Proteins by LC-MS/MS

The detection and quantification of nut allergens remains a major challenge. The liquid chroma-tography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is emerging as one of the most widely used methods, but sample preparation prior to the analysis is still a key issue. The objective of this work was to establish optimized protocols for extraction, tryptic digestion and LC-MS analysis of almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut, pistachio and walnut samples. Ammonium bicar-bonate/urea extraction (Ambi/urea), SDS buffer extraction (SDS), polyvinylpolypyrroli-done (PVPP) extraction, trichloroacetic acid/acetone extraction (TCA/acetone) and chloro-form/methanol/sodium chloride precipitation (CM/NaCl) as well as the performances of con-ventional tryptic digestion and microwave-assisted breakdown were investigated. Overall, the protein extraction yields ranged from 14.9 ± 0.5 (almond extract from CM/NaCl) to 76.5 ± 1.3% (hazelnut extract from Ambi/urea). Electrophoretic profiling showed that the SDS extraction method clearly presented a high amount of extracted proteins in the range of 0–15 kDa, 15–35 kDa, 35–70 kDa and 70–250 kDa compared to the other methods. The linearity of the LC-MS methods in the range of 0 to 0.4 µg equivalent defatted nut flour was assessed and recovery of internal standards GWGG and DPLNV(d8)LKPR ranged from 80 to 120%. The identified bi-omarkers peptides were used to relatively quantifier selected allergenic protein form the inves-tigated nut samples. Considering the overall results, it can be concluded that SDS buffer allows a better protein extraction from almond, peanut and walnut samples while PVPP buffer is more appropriate for cashew, pistachio and hazelnut samples. It was also found that conventional overnight digestion is indicated for cashew, pistachio and hazelnut samples, while microwave assisted tryptic digestion is recommended for almond, hazelnut and peanut extracts.     

Multiresidue method for the determination of 227 pesticides in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry†

A high‐throughput, rapid, and efficient modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method with a simple cleanup procedure has been developed for simultaneously determining 227 pesticides in pepper samples by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (running time: 10 min). Pesticide residues were extracted/partitioned with an acetonitrile/DisQuE QuEChERS pouch, and the resulting samples were cleaned up with different methods: dispersive solid‐phase extraction with primary secondary amines or multiwalled carbon nanotubes and graphitized carbon solid mini cartridge column. The results indicated that multiwalled carbon nanotubes dispersive sorbents achieved the best recoveries and had less matrix interference. The numbers of pesticides with a recovery in the range of 70–120% were 199 at a spiked level of 40 μg/kg. The correlation coefficients (r²) for 227 pesticides were above 0.99, while the limits of quantitation of pesticides in pepper samples ranged from 0.13 to 13.51 μg/kg (S/N = 10), and the limits of detection ranged from 0.04 to 4.05 μg/kg (S/N = 3). The relative standard deviations of approximately 197 pesticides were below 20% at spiked levels of 40 μg/kg. Based on these results, the proposed method was chosen as the most suitable cleanup procedure for the determination of multiresidue pesticides in pepper samples.     

Comparison of extraction solvents and sorbents in the quick,easy, cheap,effective, rugged,and safe method for the determination of pesticide multiresidue in fruits by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

An improved analytical method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of several plant growth regulators and fungicides (carbendazim, pyrimethanil, metalaxyl, triadimefon, paclobutrazol, thiophanate, prochloraz, dimethomorph, difenoconazole, (4‐chlorophenoxy)‐acetic acid, (2,4‐dichlorophenoxy)‐acetic acid, thiadiazuron, forchlorfenuron and gibberellins) in fruits followed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Samples were extracted and purified using a modified QuEChERS method. Different extraction solvents and sorbents in the QuEChERS method were compared. Optimum results were followed by the addition of 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile; C₁₈ sorbent was added due to the acidic nature of several pesticides. The recoveries of the pesticides were in the range 73.7–118.4%, with relative standard deviations lower than 16.63%. Limits of detection ranged from 0.1–1.0 μg/kg. The method presented here is simple, rapid, sensitive and can be applied to large‐scale monitoring programs to screen the presences of pesticides in fruits.     

Multi-residue analysis of 206 pesticides in grass forage by the one-step quick,easy, cheap,effective, rugged,and safe method combined with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry

A novel method for detecting pesticide multi-residue in grass forage (alfalfa and oat) was established based on the one-step automatic extraction and purification technology of quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe combined with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry. The crushed sample was extracted with acetonitrile with 1% acetate, followed by a cleanup step with a primary-secondary amine, octadecylsilane, and graphitized carbon black. The extraction and purification were carried out using the one-step automatic pretreatment equipment. The target pesticides were acquired in positive ion electrospray ionization mode and full scan/data dependent secondary scan mode. The calibration curve shows good linearity over the corresponding concentration range, with the coefficient of determination greater than 0.99. The screening detection limits were 0.5–50 μg/kg, and the limit of quantification for the 206 pesticides was set at 1–50 μg/kg. At the spiking levels of one, two, and 10 times of limit of quantification, more than 95% of pesticides had recovery between 70–120%, with a relative standard deviation ≤20%. The method was proved to be simple, rapid, high-sensitivity, and could be routinely used for the high throughput screening and quantitative analysis of pesticide residues in alfalfa and oat.
