Miniaturized ternary deep eutectic solvent-based matrix solid-phase dispersion: A green sample preparation method for the determination of chlorophenols in river sediment

New ternary deep eutectic solvents were prepared and applied as efficient green dispersing solvents in miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion to extract chlorophenols from river sediments for the first time. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector was used to analyze the target analytes. The significant factors affecting the extraction were optimized as follows: dispersant (100 mg), sample (100 mg), ternary eutectic solvents (150 μl), grinding for 1 min, 450 μl of acetonitrile as the elution solvent, and vortex mixing for 20 s. Under the optimal conditions, the method exhibited excellent linearity (correlation coefficient > 0.9980), low limits of detection between 1.039–2.478 μg/g, and extraction recoveries between 93.9% and 99.2%. Furthermore, the method demonstrated excellent precision in the intra- and inter-day analysis with a relative standard deviation below 6%. When compared to conventional extraction techniques, the miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion considerably reduced samples and solvent usag, offering important environmental benefits. The green profile of the method was assessed using the complementary green analytical procedure index tool confirming its eco-friendship. The technique was finally employed to evaluate sediment samples from three distinct locations along the Zuibaiji River, indicating its applicability for monitoring environmental samples.     

Recent developments in matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction

Matrix solid-phase dispersion is a sample preparation strategy widely applied to solid, semisolid or viscous samples, including animal tissues and foods with a high lipidic content. The process consists in blending the matrix onto a solid support, allowing the matrix cell disruption and the subsequent extraction of target analytes by means of a suitable elution solvent. First introduced in 1989, MSPD employment and developments are still growing because of the feasibility and versatility of the process, as evidenced by the several reviews that have been published since nineties. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to provide a general overview and an update of the last developments of MSPD.

Evaluation of single-walled carbon nanohorns as sorbent in dispersive micro solid-phase extraction

A new dispersive micro solid-phase extraction method which uses single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) as sorbent is proposed. The procedure combines the excellent sorbent properties of the nanoparticles with the efficiency of the dispersion of the material in the sample matrix. Under these conditions, the interaction with the analytes is maximized. The determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was selected as model analytical problem. Two dispersion strategies were evaluated, being the functionalization via microwave irradiation better than the use of a surfactant. The extraction was accomplished by adding 1 mL of oxidized SWHNs (o-SWNHs) dispersion to 10 mL of water sample. After extraction, the mixture was passed through a disposable Nylon filter were the nanoparticles enriched with the PAHs were retained. The elution was carried out with 100 μL of hexane. The limits of detection achieved were between 30 and 60 ng L⁻¹ with a precision (as repeatability) better than 12.5%. The recoveries obtained for the analytes in three different water samples were acceptable in all instances. The performance of o-SWNHs was favourably compared with that provided by carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes and thermally treated carbon nanocones.     

Application of matrix solid-phase dispersion to the determination of amitrole and urazole residues in apples by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

A new method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction was studied for the extraction of amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole), and its metabolite urazole (3,5-dihydroxy-1,2,4-triazole), in apple samples. The influence of experimental conditions on the yield of the extraction process and on the efficiency of the cleanup step was evaluated. Determination was carried out by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with electrochemical detection, demonstrating the compatibility between MSPD and CE techniques. The method has been successfully applied to different apple varieties. Recoveries in samples spiked at 1.6 and 1.7 μg g⁻¹ for amitrole and urazole were 88 and 82%, respectively. The limits of detection were 0.4 μg g⁻¹ for both compounds using electrochemical detection.

A multiresidue method is described for the analysis of 106 multiclass pesticides (organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate, pyrethroid, and triazine classes) in apple juice in a single injection. The determination procedure was based on matrix solid-phase dispersion of juice on diatomaceous earth in a glass column and subsequent extraction with a mixture of hexane-dichloromethane (1 + 1) at a flow rate of 5 mL/min. The analytes were determined by capillary gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection and confirmed by their retention times and ion ratios. The coefficients of variation for analysis of samples fortified over the range of 0.01-0.2 mg/kg were 1.62 to 18.4%, and the recoveries for all analytes were between 70 and 110%.     

Metal–organic framework assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction of saponins using response surface methodology

An efficient and simple metal–organic framework (MOF) assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) microextraction was developed for the extraction of the five saponins in P. ginseng leaves. The target analyses were detected by ultra high performance chromatography coupled with time-of-flight MS. Experimental conditions for MSPD microextraction were optimized by the Box–Behnken design of the response surface methodology. The optimal conditions were as follows: 20 mg adsorbent, 80% methanol–water solution for elution, 60 s grinding time, and the MOF-808 as the adsorbent. With the final optimized method, the calibration curves for five saponins showed good linearity (R² > 0.998) within range of 0.01–100 μg/mL. In addition, analytical recoveries ranged from 87.04 to 103.78%, with the RSD below 5%. The limit of detection and LOQ range from 0.087 to 0.114 μg/mL and 0.292 to 0.379 μg/mL, respectively. Compared with the traditional extraction method and published methods, the newly MOF-assisted MSPD extract exhibited higher extraction efficiency, simpler operation, and provided a cleaner extract with low consumption of organic reagents that was applied for rapid evaluation and quality control of active compounds from plants.

Determination of suspected fragrance allergens in cosmetics by matrix solid-phase dispersion gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis

An effective low cost sample preparation methodology for the determination of regulated fragrance allergens in leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics has been developed applying, for the first time, matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) to this kind of analytes and samples. The selection of the most suitable extraction conditions was made using statistical tools such as ANOVA, as well as a factorial multifactor experimental design. These studies were carried out using real cosmetic samples. In the final conditions, 0.5 of sample, previously mixed with 1g of anhydrous Na(2)SO(4), were blended with 2g of dispersive sorbent (Florisil), and the MSPD column was eluted with 5 mL of hexane/acetone (1:1). The extract was then analyzed by GC-MS without any further clean-up or concentration step. Accuracy, precision, linearity and detection limits (LODs) were evaluated to assess the performance of the proposed method. Quantitative recoveries (>75%) were obtained and RSD values were lower than 10% in all cases. The quantification limits were well below those set by the international cosmetic regulations, making this multi-component analytical method suitable for routine control. In addition, the MSPD method can be implemented in any laboratory at low cost since it does not require special equipment. Finally, a wide variety of cosmetic products were analyzed. All the samples contained several of the target cosmetic ingredients, with and average number of seven. The total fragrance allergen content was in general quite high, even in baby care products, with values close to or up to 1%, for several samples, although the actual European Cosmetic Regulation was fulfilled.

Moreover, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix was used as the mode of complex solid sample matrix to demonstrate the prospect of application of this methodology. The results showed the proposed strategy is promising for determining trace furocoumarins in complex matrix samples, which might be applied as a powerful and economic tool in monitoring illegal cosmetic adding.

Optimisation of a matrix solid-phase dispersion method for the determination of organophosphate compounds in dust samples

A fast and inexpensive sample preparation procedure based on the matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) technique is proposed for the isolation of several organophosphate esters (mainly employed as flame retardants and plasticizers) from indoor dust samples. Extraction and clean-up were carried out in a single step and target compounds were determined by gas chromatography (GC) with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD). The main parameters affecting extraction yield and selectivity, such as type and amount of dispersant material, clean-up co-sorbent and extraction solvent, were evaluated and optimised. Under final conditions, 0.5 g of dust were dispersed with equal amounts of anhydrous sodium sulphate and Florisil, and loaded on the top of a polypropylene cartridge containing 0.5 g of alumina. The dispersed sample was washed with 2 mL of n-hexane to remove the least polar interferences and analytes were eluted with 3 mL of acetone. Recoveries of the proposed method for spiked samples ranged from 80 to 116%, and the day-to-day variability remained between 5 and 10%. Data on levels of organophosphate species in dust from private houses and vehicle cabins are provided. In both cases, the lowest concentrations corresponded to the short chain, non-chlorinated, alkyl organophosphates, whereas mean values above 1 μg g⁻¹ were measured for the rest of analytes.     

Solid-phase extraction techniques based on nanomaterials for mycotoxin analysis: An overview for food and agricultural products

Mycotoxin contamination is a globally concerned problem for food and agricultural products since it may directly or indirectly induce severe threats to human health. Sensitive and selective screening is an efficient strategy to prevent or reduce human and animal exposure to mycotoxins. However, enormous challenges exist in the determination of mycotoxins, arising from complex sample matrices, trace-level analytes, and the co-occurrence of diverse mycotoxins. Appropriate sample preparation is essential to isolate, purify, and enrich mycotoxins from complicated matrices, thus decreasing sample matrix effects and lowering detection limits. With the cross-disciplinary development, new solid-phase extraction strategies have been exploited and integrated with nanotechnology to meet the challenges of mycotoxin analysis. This review summarizes the advance and progress of solid-phase extraction techniques as the methodological solutions for mycotoxin analysis. Emphases are paid on nanomaterials fabricated as trapping media of solid-phase extraction techniques, including carbonaceous nanoparticles, metal/metal oxide-based nanoparticles, and nanoporous materials. Advantages and limitations are discussed, along with the potential prospects.     

Ultrasound-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersive liquid extraction for the determination of intermediates in hair dyes with ion chromatography

A novel one-step sample preparation technique called ultrasound-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersive liquid extraction was developed.

The extraction efficiency of approach was demonstrated for the determination of intermediates in commercial hair dyes with ion chromatography. Linearity ranges of 0.2–100 mg L⁻¹ and detection limits varying from 0.019 to 0.048 mg L⁻¹ were achieved. The recoveries ranged from 85.7 to 107.0% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.31–3.7%. These results showed that the method was simple, time-saving, reliable and suitable for the routine analysis of intermediates in large numbers of hair dyes.
