Determination of pesticides in water samples from the Wieprz-krzna Canal in the Leczyńsko-Włodawskie Lake District of southeastern Poland by thin-layer chromatography with diode array scanning and high-performance column liquid chromatography with diode array detection

High-performance thin-layer chromatography with diode array scanning (TLC-DAD) and high-performance column liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) were used to screen water samples for pesticides. Atrazine, clofentezine, chlorfenvinphos, hexaflumuron, terbuthylazine, lenacyl, neburon, bitertanol, and metamitron were enriched from canal water samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on octadecyl silane (C18)/styrene-divinylbenzene-1, C18, C18 Polar Plus, and cyanopropyl (CN) cartridges. Recovery rates were high for all extraction materials except CN, for which values for all pesticides were lower. SPE was used for both preconcentration and fractionation of the analytes. Analytes were eluted by means of methanol and dichloromethane. Methanol eluates were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and dichloromethane eluates by TLC-DAD. The method was validated for precision, repeatability, and accuracy. Calibration graphs were linear between 0.1 and 50.0 microg/mL for all pesticides, and correlation coefficient (r) values were between 0.9994 and 1.000 as determined by HPLC-DAD. Calibration graphs were linear between 0.1 and 1.5 microg/spot for all pesticides, and r values were between 0.9899 and 0.9987 as determined by TLC-DAD. The limit of detection was between 0.04 and 0.23 microg/spot for TLC-DAD and 0.02 and 0.45 microg/mL for HPLC-DAD.

Application of SPE-HPLC-DAD and SPE-TLC-DAD to the determination of pesticides in real water samples

Planar chromatography with diode array scanning (TLC-DAD) and high-performance chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) were used to screen water samples for pesticides. Pesticides were enriched from lake water samples by SPE on C18/SDB-1, C18, C18 Polar Plus and cyanopropyl (CN) cartridges. The recovery rates were high for all extraction materials except for all pesticides on CN cartridges, for which the values were lower. SPE was used not only for preconcentration of analytes but also for their fractionation. The analytes were eluted first with methanol and then with dichloromethane. Methanol eluates were analysed by HPLC-DAD, the dichloromethane eluates with TLC-DAD. The method was validated for precision, repeatability and accuracy. The calibration plots were linear between 0.1 and 50.0 microg/mL for all pesticides, the correlation coefficients, r, were between 0.9992 and 1.000 as determined by HPLC-DAD. In the TLC experiments, the best fit for the calibration lines was found when the calibration data were analysed using a second-degree polynomial regression. Calibration plots lay between 0.1 and 17 microg/spot for all pesticides, the correlation coefficients, r, were between 0.9974 and 0.9997 determined by TLC-DAD. The LOD was between 0.04 and 0.65 microg/spot (TLC-DAD) and between 0.02 and 3.68 microg/mL (HPLC-DAD).     

Preconcentration of Indigotin and Indirubin from Indigowoad Roots with Novel Quinoline Ionic Liquids with Determination by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Five novel ionic liquids based on quinoline and hexafluorophosphate, including one acidic ionic liquid and four neutral polyethylene glycol-based dicationic ionic liquids, were synthesized and used as extractants for the preconcentration of indigotin and indirubin from Indigowoad roots for the first time. The structures of the ionic liquids were characterized by spectral data. Their solubilities and viscosities were measured, and the latter were correlated with the Litovitz and Arrhenius equations. In the preconcentration of indigotin and indirubin, the type of ionic liquid, concentration of ionic liquid, solid-liquid ratio, temperature, and duration time on the preconcentration efficiency for indigotin and indirubin were investigated. Furthermore, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine indigotin and indirubin in Indigowoad roots. High selectivity and enhancement were obtained, and the method was validated for linearity, precision, repeatability, stability, recovery, and accuracy. The limits of detection were 0.0192 microgram per milliliter for indigotin and 0.0236 microgram per milliliter for indirubin, while the limits of quantification were 0.084 microgram per milliliter for indigotin and 0.040 microgram per milliliter for indirubin. This study provides a useful reference for the design and synthesis of task-specific ionic liquids, which may be applied for the separation of similar natural products.     

Vibrational spectroscopic study on 2-[2-(4-dipropylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride

A new styryl dye were prepared, 2-[2-(4-dipropylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride (DPPTVI) chloride. Its infrared and Raman were measured. Quantum chemical calculations were computed for both the isolated and the solute cation. Optimized geometry, atomic net charges were calculated. The calculated vibrational frequencies were scaled to the experimental ones. Only 12 scale factors were used for the scaling of 174 vibrational modes. Based on these results, normal coordinate analysis were carried out for both the isolated and the solute cations. Infrared and Raman spectra were simulated. The results for the isolated and the solute cations were compared.     

Application of carbon nanotubes as solid-phase extraction sorbent for analysis of chlorophenols in water samples

The aim of this work was to investigate the efficiency of various MWCNTs as SPE materials for the preconcentration of chlorophenols. The COOH-functionalized MWCNTs and MWCNTs were used as SPE sorbents. To evaluate the capability of MWCNTs for the preconcentration of chlorophenols from water samples, 2,4-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol, 2,4,6-chlorophenol, 2,6-chlorophenol, 3,4-chlorophenol, and 2-chlorophenol were used as model compounds. Chlorophenols were extracted with acetone, methanol, ethanol, and dichloromethane, and determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. COOH-functionalized MWCNTs <8 nm were found to be the best sorbent for the tested chlorophenols. For COOH-functionalized MWCNTs <8 nm, the recovery rates for all chlorophenols were higher than 50% when acetone or ethanol was used as eluents. In the case of dichloromethane elution, recovery rates for chlorophenols were from 62.0% for 2,6-DCP to 116.8% for 2,4-DCP; only for 2,4,6-TCP was the recovery rate 30.6%. Similar percentage recoveries were achieved with methanol as the eluent.     

A scaled quantum mechanical force field for the sulfuryl halides. I. The symmetric halides SO2X2 (X=F, Cl, Br)

Force fields and vibrational wavenumbers were calculated for the molecules SO2X2 (X=F, Cl, Br) using DFT techniques. The previously available experimental data and assignments for SO2F2 and SO2Cl2 were compared with the theoretical results and revised, and new low temperature infrared and Raman data were obtained for SO2Cl2. These data were subsequently used in the definition of scaled quantum mechanics force fields for such molecules. Adjusted wavenumbers were also predicted for the still unknown SO2Br2. A comparison is made with results published for the VO2X2- anions.

Estimation of atorvastatin calcium and fenofibrate in tablets by derivative spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography

Two simple and accurate methods to determine atorvastatin calcium (ATO) and fenofibrate (FEN) in combined dosage forms were developed using second-derivative spectrophotometry and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC). ATO and FEN in combined preparations (tablets) were quantitated using the second-derivative responses at 245.64 nm for ATO and 289.56 nm for FEN in spectra of their solution in methanol. The calibration curves were linear [correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9992 for ATO and 0.9995 for FEN] in the concentration range of 3-15 microg/mL for ATO and FEN. In the LC method, analysis was performed on a Hypersil ODS-C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm id, 5 microm particle size) in the isocratic mode using the mobile phase methanol-water (90 + 10, v/v), adjusted to pH 5.5 with orthophosphoric acid, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Measurement was made at a wavelength of 246.72 nm. Both drugs were well resolved on the stationary phase, and the retention times were 1.95 min for ATO and 5.50 min for FEN. The calibration curves were linear (r = 0.9985 for ATO and 0.9976 for FEN) in the concentration range of 3-15 microg/mL for ATO and FEN. Both methods were validated, and the results were compared statistically. They were found to be accurate, precise, and specific. The methods were successfully applied to the estimation of ATO and FEN in combined tablet formulations.     

Determination of three anabolic compounds in calf urine by liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection

A method for the determination of three anabolic hormones (diethylstilbestrol, dienestrol and trenbolone) in calf urine is described. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the samples were cleaned up by C18 solid-phase extraction. Drugs were extracted with hexane and analyzed by isocratic elution on a Discovery RP-Amide C16 5 microns column with photodiode-array detection at 240 and 347 nm. Both retention time and UV spectra were used for identification. Detection limits for the HPLC system were calculated to be 0.3 ng injected for all analytes in the standard mixture. However, for urine samples these limits increased because of the presence of unidentified matrix components. After extraction from urine, the limits of detection for the whole analytical procedure were 5 and 10 ng injected for trenbolone and stilbenes, respectively. The average recoveries of the hormones from spiked samples were in the range 53.1-56.7% with RSD between 11.3 and 14.5% for the whole procedure in the concentration range 25-2.5 ng ml-1.     

Preparation and application of sol–gel acrylate and methacrylate solid-phase microextraction fibres for gas chromatographic analysis of organoarsenic compounds

Novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibres containing methyl, ethyl, butyl acrylate and methacrylate were first prepared by a sol–gel technique and investigated for determination of selected organoarsenic compounds (lewisite, methyldichloroarsine, phenyldichloroarsine, diphenylchloroarsine and triphenylarsine) from water samples. The influence of sorption and desorption temperature and time for extraction efficiency were examined. The best new fibre coatings (methyl acrylate (MA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and combination of methyl acrylate and methacrylate (MA/MMA)) for analysis of organoarsenic compounds were selected and compared with commercial fibres. The distribution coefficients K_fs were determined for the best novel fibres and for absorption commercial fibres. The highest K_fs value were obtained for MA/MMA and MMA fibres and were respectively 9458 and 6561 for lewisite and 6458 and 5884 for triphenylarsine. The limit of detection and quantification were determined for the three laboratory obtained fibres (MA, MMA and MA/MMA). LODs for tested fibres, at a signal-to-noise of 3, were 0.03–0.3 ng mL⁻¹. LOQs for selected coatings, at signal-to-noise of 10, were 0.1–0.8 ng mL⁻¹. The relative standard deviations (RSD) for all measurements were 4.3–6.5% (n = 9) and relative errors were 2.5–5%. The laboratory obtained fibres were used for environmental analysis of pore water samples from the Baltic Sea.     

Determination of low molecular weight alcohols including fusel oil in various samples by diethyl ether extraction and capillary gas chromatography

Low molecular weight alcohols including fusel oil were determined using diethyl ether extraction and capillary gas chromatography. Twelve kinds of alcohols were successfully resolved on the HP-FFAP (polyethylene glycol) capillary column. The diethyl ether extraction method was very useful for the analysis of alcohols in alcoholic beverages and biological samples with excellent cleanliness of the resulting chromatograms and high sensitivity compared to the direct injection method. Calibration graphs for all standard alcohols showed good linearity in the concentration range used, 0.001-2% (w/v) for all alcohols. Salting out effects were significant (p < 0.01) for the low molecular weight alcohols methanol, isopropanol, propanol, 2-butanol, n-butanol and ethanol, but not for the relatively high molecular weight alcohols amyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, and heptanol. The coefficients of variation of the relative molar responses were less than 5% for all of the alcohols. The limits of detection and quantitation were 1-5 and 10-60 microg/L for the diethyl ether extraction method, and 10-50 and 100-350 microg/L for the direct injection method, respectively. The retention times and relative retention times of standard alcohols were significantly shifted in the direct injection method when the injection volumes were changed, even with the same analysis conditions, but they were not influenced in the diethyl ether extraction method. The recoveries by the diethyl ether extraction method were greater than 95% for all samples and greater than 97% for biological samples.

A Rapid Fecal Bioassay Method for Pu/Am

Fecal radiobioassay is a sensitive tool to estimate intake of radionuclides, especially for insoluble or poorly absorbed actinides. To increase efficiency and reduce turnaround time, improvements were introduced in the sample digestion step of a fecal bioassay method to rapidly detect Pu and Am. The acid- and microwave-digestion of the spiked fecal samples (5–10 g) were effectively completed in 1 h. The turnaround time for the sample analysis was minimized to 6 h. The average recoveries for Pu and Am were 35% and 60% for artificial fecal samples, respectively. Much better recoveries for Pu and Am were obtained for natural fecal samples. Observed relative biases for Pu and Am were marginally in the range of -0.25 to +0.50. The relative precision values for both radionuclides were, however, within the performance index of 0.4. This rapid fecal method is a potential candidate for an acceptable quantitative radiobioassay and screening method for the suspected Pu/Am exposures.

Influence of microemulsion chirality on chromatographic figures of merit in EKC: results with novel three-chiral-component microemulsions and comparison with one- and two-chiral-component microemulsions

Novel microemulsion formulations containing all chiral components are described for the enantioseparation of six pairs of pharmaceutical enantiomers (atenolol, ephedrine, metoprolol, N-methyl ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and synephrine). The chiral surfactant dodecoxycarbonylvaline (DDCV, R- and S-), the chiral cosurfactant S-2-hexanol, and the chiral oil diethyl tartrate (R- and S-) were combined to create four different chiral microemulsions, three of which were stable. Results obtained for enantioselectivity, efficiency, and resolution were compared for the triple-chirality systems and the single-chirality system that contained chiral surfactant only. Improvements in enantioselectivity and resolution were achieved by simultaneously incorporating three chiral components into the aggregate. The one-chiral-component microemulsion provided better efficiencies. Enantioselective synergies were identified for the three-chiral-component nanodroplets using a thermodynamic model. Additionally, two types of dual-chirality systems, chiral surfactant/chiral cosurfactant and chiral surfactant/chiral oil, were examined in terms of chromatographic figures of merit, with the former providing much better resolution. The two varieties of two-chiral-component microemulsions gave similar values for enantioselectivity and efficiency. Lastly, the microemulsion formulations were divided into categories based on the number of chiral microemulsion reagents and the average results for each pair of enantiomers were analyzed for trends. In general, enantioselectivity and resolution were enhanced while efficiency was decreased as more chiral components were used to create the pseudostationary phase (PSP).     

SPME and SPE comparative study for coupling with microwave-assisted micellar extraction in the analysis of organochlorine pesticides residues in seaweed samples

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedures were coupling with microwave-assisted micellar extraction for organochlorine pesticides residues determination in seaweed samples. They were optimized, compared and discussed.Preliminary experiments were performed in order to study experimental conditions for the extraction of pesticides from spiked seaweed samples with microwave-assisted micellar extraction (MAME) using a non-ionic surfactant (Polyoxyethylene 10 Lauryl Ether). After that, SPME and SPE were used to clean-up and preconcentrate MAME extract prior the analysis by liquid chromatography with photodiode array (PDA) detection.Excellent results were obtained for both procedures. Average pesticide recoveries between 80.5 and 104.3% for MAME-SPME and between 73.9 and 111.5% for MAME-SPE were obtained. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 10.3% and 5.3% respectively for all recoveries tested, and LOD between 138–348 ng g^− 1 for MAME-SPME and 2–38 ng g^− 1 for MAME-SPE were obtained. The method was validated using Soxhlet extraction procedure.Both methods were applied to analyse target organochlorine pesticides in several seaweed samples and results were compared. These results show the great possibilities of combining MAME-SPE-HPLC-UV for the analysis of seaweed samples, improving the selectivity and sensitivity in the determination of organochlorine pesticides analysis for this kind of samples.     

Adsorption thermodynamics of short-chain peptides on charged and uncharged nanothin polymer films

The present work describes experimental measurements of submolecular-level interaction energies involved in the process of peptide adsorption on polymer films using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Gibbs energy change on adsorption (DeltaG(ad)) for tyrosine, phenylalanine, and glycine homopeptides were measured at 25 degrees C and pH 7 on highly uniform, nanothin polymer films, and the results were used to predict DeltaG(ad) for homologous homopeptides with a larger number of residue units. Nanothin poly(2-vinylpyridine), poly(styrene), and poly(1-benzyl-2-vinylpyridinium bromide) films were used for the adsorption studies; they were prepared using a graft polymerization methodology. In-situ swelling experiments were done with ellipsometry to examine the uniformity of the surfaces and to ensure that the graft densities of the different polymer films were similar to facilitate the comparison of adsorption results on these surfaces. The swelling experiments showed that the films were uniform, and the grafting densities were found to be 0.14-0.17 chains/nm(2). For uncharged surfaces, predicted and measured DeltaG(ads) values for homopeptides deviated by < or =4.9%. To extend this approach to a mixed-residue peptide, measurements were made for glycine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine-leucine subunits found in leucine enkephalin. The predicted DeltaG(ads) values for leucine enkephalin deviated by 3.0% and -9.1% for poly(2-vinylpyridine) and poly(styrene) films, respectively. Deviations between measured and predicted adsorption energies were larger for the charged poly(1-benzyl-2-vinylpyridinium bromide) surface relative to uncharged surfaces. While the adsorption energies were found to be additive within experimental uncertainties for the charged surface, generally speaking, measured uncertainty values were also larger for the charged surface.
