We are presenting magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (m-MIPs) for solid-phase extraction and sample clean-up of paracetamol. The m-MIPs were prepared from magnetite (Fe3O4) as the magnetic component, paracetamol as the template, methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, and 2-(methacrylamido) ethyl methacrylate as a cross-linker. The m-MIPs were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometry. The m-MIPs were applied to the extraction of paracetamol from human blood plasma samples. Following its elution from the column loaded with the m-MIPs with an acetonitrile-buffer (9:1) mixture, it was submitted to HPLC analysis. Paracetamol can be quantified by this method in the 1 μg L−1 to 300 μg L−1 concentration range. The limit of detection and limit of quantification in plasma samples are 0.17 and 0.4 μg L−1. The preconcentration factor of the m-MIPs is 40. The HPLC method shows good precision (4.5 % at 50 μg L−1 levels) and recoveries (between 83 and 91 %) from spiked plasma samples.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) have been used for simple, sensitive simultaneous analysis of cyromazine and melamine residues in liquid milk and eggs. The conditions used for SPE and LC were investigated and optimized. A combined cation-exchange–reversed-phase cartridge was used for clean-up, and an ODS (C18) column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5-μm particles) with 62:38 (v/v) 5 mm sodium lauryl sulfate (pH 3.4)–acetonitrile as mobile phase was used for RP-LC. Under the optimum conditions the method limit of detection (LOD) for both cyromazine and melamine was 6.2 μg kg−1 for liquid milk samples, and 11.5 μg kg−1 for egg samples. Average recovery of cyromazine and melamine from milk samples was 90.3%, RSD 4.6–5.6%, and 99.6%, RSD 3.2–4.7%, respectively. Average recovery of cyromazine and melamine from egg samples was 85.3%, RSD 1.0–4.7%, and 89.6%, RSD 3.1–5.0%, respectively. The method enables detection of melamine and cyromazine at levels as low as 20.7 μg kg−1 in liquid milk and 38.3 μg kg−1 in egg.
相似文献A new Cu(II)-ion imprinted polymer (IIP) has been synthesized by copolymerizing salicylic acid and formaldehyde as a monomer and crosslinker, respectively in the presence of Cu(II)-4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol complex. The imprinted Cu(II) ions were completely removed by leaching the IIP with 0.05 M EDTA. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cu(II) ions was 310 μg g−1 at pH 6. The IIP was repeatedly used in adsorption–desorption experiments for seven times with recoveries ~95%. The relative selectivity factor (α r) values of Cu(II)/Zn(II), Cu(II)/Cd(II), Cu(II)/Ni(II) and Cu(II)/Co(II) are 3.17, 2.90, 2.47 and 3.37, respectively. The detection limit corresponding to three times the standard deviation of the blank was found to be 3.0 μg L−1. The developed IIP has also been tested for preconcentration and recovery of Cu(II) ions from water samples.
相似文献A novel, efficient, and environmentally friendly method—supramolecular solvent liquid–liquid microextraction (SMS-LLME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)—was first established for the determination of p-nitrophenol and o-nitrophenol in water samples. Several important parameters influencing extraction efficiency, such as the type and volume of extraction solvent, pH of sample, temperature, salt effect, extraction time, and stirring rate, were optimized in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the enrichment factor was 166 for p-nitrophenol and 160 for o-nitrophenol, and the limits of detection by HPLC were 0.26 and 0.58 μg L−1, respectively. Excellent linearity with coefficients of correlation from 0.9996 to 0.9997 was observed in the concentration range of 2–1,000 μg L−1. The ranges of intra- and interday precision (n = 5) at 100 μg L−1 of nitrophenols were 5.85–7.76 and 10.2–11.9 %, respectively. The SMS-LLME method was successfully applied for preconcentration of nitrophenols in environmental water samples.
相似文献A simple, specific and sensitive liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the assay of ketorolac in human plasma and urine. The clean-up of plasma and urine samples were carried out by protein precipitation procedure and liquid–liquid extraction, respectively. Separation was performed by a Waters sunfire C18 reversed-phase column maintained at 35 °C. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.02 M phosphate buffer (pH adjusted to 4.5 for plasma samples and to 3.5 for urine samples) and acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1. The UV detector was set at 315 nm. Nevirapine was used as an internal standard in the assay of urine sample. The method was validated over the concentration range of 0.05–8 and 0.1–10 μg mL−1 for ketorolac in human plasma and urine, respectively. The limits of detection were 0.02 and 0.04 μg mL−1 for plasma and urine estimation at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The limits of quantification were 0.05 and 0.1 μg mL−1 for plasma and urine, respectively. The extraction recoveries were found to be 99.3 ± 4.2 and 80.3 ± 3.7% for plasma and urine, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day standard deviations were less than 0.5. The method indicated good performance in terms of specificity, linearity, detection and quantification limits, precision and accuracy. This assay demonstrated to be applicable for clinical pharmacokinetic studies.
相似文献Rapid, inexpensive, and efficient sample-preparation by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) then gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC–FID) have been used for extraction and analysis of BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) in water samples. In this extraction method, a mixture of 25.0 μL carbon disulfide (extraction solvent) and 1.00 mL acetonitrile (disperser solvent) is rapidly injected, by means of a syringe, into a 5.00-mL water sample in a conical test tube. A cloudy solution is formed by dispersion of fine droplets of carbon disulfide in the sample solution. During subsequent centrifugation (5,000 rpm for 2.0 min) the fine droplets of carbon disulfide settle at the bottom of the tube. The effect of several conditions (type and volume of disperser solvent, type of extraction solvent, extraction time, etc.) on the performance of the sample-preparation step was carefully evaluated. Under the optimum conditions the enrichment factors and extraction recoveries were high, and ranged from 122–311 to 24.5–66.7%, respectively. A good linear range (0.2–100 μg L−1, i.e., three orders of magnitude; r 2 = 0.9991–0.9999) and good limits of detection (0.1–0.2 μg L−1) were obtained for most of the analytes. Relative standard deviations (RSD, %) for analysis of 5.0 μg L−1 BTEX compounds in water were in the range 0.9–6.4% (n = 5). Relative recovery from well and wastewater at spiked levels of 5.0 μg L−1 was 89–101% and 76–98%, respectively. Finally, the method was successfully used for preconcentration and analysis of BTEX compounds in different real water samples.
相似文献A sample preparation method for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) determination in raw milk was optimized following the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) strategy, as an alternative to the classic immunoaffinity column clean-up (IAC). The method was adapted to address the complexity of the milk matrix, and to be suitable for final determination by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS). This approach proved also to be compatible with the simultaneous extraction of pesticide residues and other contaminants (mycotoxins). Regarding AFM1, satisfactory linearity was achieved and appropriate sensitivity was maintained, using matrix-matched calibration to compensate for the heavy ion suppression. The accuracy and precision, which were determined through recovery studies, were 70–95 %, with the relative standard deviation below 15 % in all of the cases. The limit of detection (LOD, 0.002 μg L−1) and limit of quantification (0.007 μg L−1) are compatible with current worldwide regulations (maximum levels of 0.5 and 0.05 μg L−1). The procedure was applied to samples that were naturally contaminated with a range of AFM1 at LOQ–0.187 μg L−1, with comparable results to IAC clean-up, which was employed as a reference method. Therefore, AFM1 determination in raw milk by UHPLC–MS/MS detection through the present QuEChERS extraction constitutes a reliable alternative to IAC clean-up and exhibits advantages related to cost, accessibility of materials and simplicity of operation.
相似文献A simple and sensitive method was developed for the determination of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—ibuprofen, naproxen and fenbufen in human plasma. The method involved in column liquid chromatographic separation and chemilumenescence (CL) detection based on the CL reaction of NSAIDs, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) medium. The chromatographic separation was carried out using a reversed-phase C18 column, which allowed the selective determination of the three medicines in the complicated samples. The special features of the CL detector provided lower LOD for determination than that of existing chromatographic alternatives. The results indicated that the linear ranges were 0.01–10.0 μg mL−1 for ibuprofen, 0.001–1.0 μg mL−1 for naproxen, and 0.01–10.0 μg mL−1 for fenbufen. The limits of detection were 0.5 ng mL−1 for ibuprofen, 0.05 ng mL−1 for naproxen and 0.5 ng mL−1 for fenbufen (S/N = 3). All average recoveries were in the range of 90.0–102.3%. Finally, the method had been satisfactorily applied for the determination of ibuprofen, naproxen and fenbufen in human plasma samples.
相似文献Some aroma compounds found in alcoholic beverages are characteristic of a certain beverage (i.e. 2,4-decadienoic acid ethyl ester is characteristic of pear spirit and 5-butyltetrahydro-4-methylfuran-2-on “whiskey lactone” is characteristic of aged spirits like whiskey). These substances were detectable in beverages but not in blood samples. The aim of this investigation was to find a sensitive sampling technique for aroma compounds in whole blood samples. This technique may be used in forensic toxicology for examination of drinking claims. The method comprises dynamic headspace sampling using a purge and trap concentrator, followed by quantitative gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (dynamic HS–GC–MS). The influence of sample preparation, trap adsorbents and sample temperature as well as desorption time and purge time on the quality of the analytical results were investigated. The following optimal parameters were determined: stirred and diluted whole blood sample without salt addition, use of Carbotrap C as trap material, sample temperature at 80 °C, desorption time 20 min and purge time 30 min. These optimal parameters were used for the determination of detection limits (LOD). The LOD of aroma compounds by means of dynamic headspace sampling were compared with the results of conventional sampling: the static headspace technique. Limits of detection for the aroma compounds with conventional static headspace GC are in the range 400–10,000 μg L−1. Dynamic headspace–GC was found to be a more sensitive sampling technique for most of the aroma compounds investigated (e.g. C4–C8 ethyl esters, benzoic acid ethyl ester, linalool oxide and 4-ethylguaiacol) with detection limits between 1 and 50 μg L−1, but there were also limits to the sampling of substances with lower volatility like decanoic acid ethyl ester, 2,4-decadienoic acid ethyl ester, eugenol and whiskey lactone with detection limits of about 1,000 μg L−1.
相似文献This paper presents an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of zoalene and its metabolite 3-amino-5-nitro-o-toluamide (3-ANOT) in chicken muscle and liver by solid phase extraction and UPLC–MS-MS operated in the positive and negative ionization switching mode. Samples were extracted with phosphate buffer solution and purified with OASIS™ HLB cartridge after pH adjustment. The determination was carried out using UPLC–MS-MS on a Waters Acquity BEH C18 column with 0.1% formic acid in water/acetonitrile as mobile phase with gradient elution. The linearity of the analytical response across the studied range of concentrations (2.0–1,000 μg L−1) was excellent, obtaining correlation coefficients higher than 0.999. Matrix effects had been investigated for zoalene and 3-ANOT. Recovery studies were carried out on spiked chicken muscle and liver blank samples, at four concentration levels (50, 1,500, 3,000, and 4,500 μg kg−1 for chicken muscle and 50, 3,000, 6,000, and 9,000 μg kg−1 for chicken liver) performing six replicates at each level. Mean recoveries of 77.9–94.2% with CVs of 3.2–8.7% were obtained. The method demonstrated to be suitable for the simultaneous determination of zoalene and 3-ANOT in chicken tissues.
相似文献In this study, a simple and efficient method has been developed to analyze pesticides in water samples using ultrasonic-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (UA-DLLME) combined with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Several parameters, including type and volume of extractant and dispersant, extraction time, and amount of salt on extraction performance, were optimized in detail. A mixture of acetonitrile (1.0 mL, dispersant) and carbon tetrachloride (15 μL, extractant) was used for extraction. Under optimal conditions, enrichment factors were obtained between 315 and 1153. The linearity of the method ranged from 1 to 100 μg L−1 with correlation coefficients ≥0.9990. Limits of detection (S/N = 3) ranged between 0.09 and 0.57 μg L−1, depending on the compounds. Relative standard deviations were <8.0 % (n = 5) for both intra- and inter-day analyses. The proposed method was successfully applied for the preconcentration and determination of pesticides in water samples (river water, tap water, and lake water) with recoveries that varied from 90.5 to 107.7 %.
相似文献We demonstrate the application of an ionic liquid-based ferrofluid to the dispersive solid phase extraction of lead(II) using PAN as the chelator. The ionic liquid contains silica nanoparticles with a magnetic core as the dispersion medium, and its use results in improved stability of the colloidal dispersion and a complete extraction of lead(II) within a few seconds. In addition, there is no need for centrifugation. Specifically, the effect of different variables on the extraction of lead(II) was studied using an experimental design. Lead(II) was quantified by AAS. Under optimized conditions, the calibration graph for lead(II) is linear in the range from 5 to 372 μg L−1, the relative standard deviation is 1.34 % (for n = 7), the limit of detection is 1.66 μg L−1, and the enrichment factor is 200. The maximum adsorption capacity of sorbent was calculated to be 10.7 mg g−1, and adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm.

A sensitive and simple HPLC method for simultaneous determination of PAC-1 (first procaspase-activating compound), phenol red, and permeability markers (carbamazepine and furosemide) in perfusion samples was developed and validated to assess intestinal absorption of PAC-1 using single-pass intestinal perfusion technique (SPIP) in rats. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a Kromasil C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with acetonitrile–methanol–30 mmol L−1 phosphate buffer (pH 3.0, 25:10:65, v/v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1, and the wavelength of the UV detector was set at 281 nm. The calibration curves were linear in the ranges of 2.40–48.0 μg mL−1 for PAC-1; 3.60–72.0 μg mL−1 for carbamazepine; 3.20–64.0 μg mL−1 for furosemide, and 4.80–96.0 μg mL−1 for phenol red (r > 0.999). Both the intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD%) of all analytes were less than 6.8 % at three concentration levels, while accuracy ranged from 95.4 to 104.5 %. Data obtained in all method validation studies indicated that the method was suitable for the intended purpose. The effective permeability values (P eff) considering water flux with the help of non-permeable marker phenol red was calculated to be 0.42 × 10−4, 0.62 × 10−4, 0.32 × 10−4 cm s−1 for PAC-1; 0.72 × 10−4, 0.77 × 10−4, 0.52 × 10−4 cm s−1 for carbamazepine; 0.20 × 10−4, 0.16 × 10−4, 0.12 × 10−4 cm s−1 for furosemide in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, respectively. The P eff value can be increased by co-perfusion with verapamil, indicating that absorption of PAC-1 is efficiently transported by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the gut wall.
相似文献High efficiency and less elution are the basic requirements of high-speed chromatographic separation. In this study, a new gradient reverse phase chromatographic methods were developed using HPLC and UPLC systems for simultaneous determination of enalapril maleate (ENL) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCZ) in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The chromatographic separations of ENL and HCZ were achieved on a Waters μ-Bondapak C 18, (300 × 3.9 mm, 10 μm) and Waters Acquity BEH C18 (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) columns for HPLC within 5.30 min and UPLC within a short retention time of 1.95 min, respectively. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 0.270–399 μg mL−1 of ENL, 0.260–399 μg mL−1 of HCZ for HPLC system and 0.270–399 μg mL−1 of ENL and 0.065–249 μg mL−1 of HCZ for UPLC system. Also, limit of detection for ENL was 1.848 ng mL−1 and 31.477 ng mL−1 for HCZ, 2.804 ng mL−1 for ENL and 2.943 ng mL−1 for HCZ using HPLC and UPLC, respectively. The proposed methods were validated according to ICH guideline with respect to precision, accuracy, and linearity. Forced degradation studies were also performed for both compounds in bulk drug samples to demonstrate the specificity and stability indicating power of the HPLC method. Comparison of system performance with conventional HPLC was made with respect to analysis time, efficiency, and resolution.
相似文献In this paper, a novel mixed ionic liquids-dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method was developed for rapid enrichment and determination of environmental pollutants in water samples. In this method, two kinds of ionic liquids, hydrophobic ionic liquid and hydrophilic ionic liquid, were used as extraction solvent and disperser solvent, respectively. DDT and its metabolites were used as model analytes and high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detector for the analysis. Factors that may affect the extraction recoveries, such as type and volume of extraction solvent (hydrophobic ionic liquid) and disperser solvent (hydrophilic ionic liquid), extraction time, sample pH and ionic strength, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range was 1–100 μg L−1, limits of detection could reach 0.21–0.49 μg L−1, and relative standard deviation was 6.01–8.48 % (n = 7) for the analytes. Satisfactory results were achieved when the method was applied to analyze the target pollutants in environmental water samples with spiked recoveries over the range of 85.7–106.8 %.
相似文献A rapid and accurate size exclusion chromatography method for the simultaneous identification and quantification of dextran 20 and sucrose with optical activity in the lyophilized thrombin powder was developed and validated. The assay was conducted on a Hitachi model D-2000 Elite HPLC system with a TOSOH TSKgel G3000 PWxl column (30 cm × 7.8 mm, 7 μm particle size) and an Alltech 3300 evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). The mobile phase was acetonitrile–water (46:54, v/v) mixture delivered at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1 at 25 °C. The ELSD was operated at a nebulizer-gas flow rate of 2.0 L min−1 and drift tube temperature of 90 °C, and the gain was set at one. Afterward, method validation system for the size exclusion chromatography analysis was developed. The linear range was 0.1–1.6 and 0.1–1.0 g L−1 for dextran 20 and sucrose, respectively, and the detection limits were <0.02 g L−1 for dextran 20 and <0.015 g L−1 for sucrose. Inter-day and intra-day variabilities showed that RSD ranged from 0.27 to 4.20%. Recovery validation showed that average recovery was between 96.00 and 103.98%. The developed analytical procedure was successfully applied to determine the contents of dextran 20 and sucrose in the lyophilized thrombin powder.
相似文献Wilforidine is a potentially efficient medicine to cure autoimmune diseases. In this paper, a sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic method coupled with atmospheric -pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC–APCI–MS/MS) has been developed for quantification of wilforidine in human plasma. Samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile and cleaned by solid-phase extraction. The chromatographic separation was performed on an analytical RRHD C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm) using ammonium acetate solution (10.0 mmol L−1)/acetonitrile (30/70, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1. Detection was carried out by the positive multiple reaction monitoring mode with transitions of m/z 780 → 684 for wilforidine, and 646 → 586 for aconitine (internal standard), respectively. The calibration curve was linear (r = 0.9991) in the concentration range of 0.5–100.0 μg L−1 with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 μg L−1 in plasma. Intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were less than 6.8 and 13.1 %, respectively, and the recoveries were between 88.0 and 96.0 %. This accurate and highly specific assay provides a useful method for evaluating the pharmacokinetics of wilforidine in human plasma.
相似文献A sensitive and selective method for simultaneous determination of 29 toxic alkaloids in human blood and 31 in urine using high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated. The samples were diluted with 0.1 mol L−1 HCl, and the target alkaloids were purified by solid phase extraction. The separation of 31 alkaloids was carried out on a C18 column using a gradient mobile phase with 10 mmol L−1 ammonium formate in water with 0.1% formic acid and methanol at the rate of 0.25 mL min−1. The triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray source in the positive mode was set up in the dynamic multiple reactions monitoring mode (dynamic MRM) to detect the ion transitions of 31 alkaloids. The calibration curves were linear over a range of 0.5–400, 1–400, or 4–400 μg L−1 for target alkaloids in human blood and urine, and the correlation coefficients (r 2) was higher than 0.9943. The limit of determination and limit of quantification were 0.2–1 and 0.5–4 μg L−1 for blood and urine, respectively. The only exceptions were sanguinarine and chelerythrine in human blood. All the target alkaloids were stable under the test condition. In addition, the solvent effect and reconstituted solution were investigated. The method was validated and proved to be accurate and precise over the studied concentrations and suitable for poisoning diagnosis and forensic toxicology.
相似文献A simple, rapid, and reproducible reversed-phase LC method with UV detection at 215 nm has been developed for analysis of SP-8203 in rat samples. A C18 column was used with 3,000:1,050 (v/v) 0.01 m K2HPO4 buffer (pH 3)–acetonitrile as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.7 mL min−1 at 50 °C. Samples were extracted with dichloromethane containing ondansetron (internal standard). Detection limits for SP-8203 in plasma, urine, and gastrointestinal tract samples were 0.05, 0.5, and 10 μg mL−1, respectively. The method was suitable for pharmacokinetic study of SP-8203 in rats after intravenous administration.
相似文献In this study, a new sample vial has been designed for the extraction and determination of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in water samples by headspace solid-phase microextraction method. The special feature of this new vial is cooling the HS above the aqueous sample by cold water stream for maximum analyte absorption on SPME fiber coating. The analysis was by a gas chromatograph equipped with flame ionization detector and a capillary column (CP-sil 13 CB). Some significant variables affecting the extraction procedure were optimized. By use of divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber, a sample volume of 10 mL, stirring rate of 1,000 rpm, salt concentration of 24%, extraction time of 15 min and extraction temperature of 83 °C, detection limit of 0.022 μg L−1 and a good linearity (R 2 = 0.998) in a calibration range of 0.1–400 μg L−1 were achieved. The relative standard deviation for triplicate runs ranged between 6 and 8%. The method could be applied to the analysis of trace levels of MTBE in various water samples.
