Development and validation of a liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method for mebendazole and its metabolites hydroxymebendazole and aminomebendazole in sheep liver

A quantitative liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of mebendazole and its hydrolysed and reduced metabolites in sheep liver has been developed and validated. The benzimidazole substances were extracted with ethyl acetate after the sample mixture had been made alkaline. The HPLC separation was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase consisting of water containing 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile. The analytes were detected after atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization on a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer in MS-MS mode. The components were measured by the MS-MS transitions of the molecular ion to the two most abundant daughter ions. The detection limits are lower than 1 microg kg(-1). For this application, the validation limit was set at 50 microg kg(-1). The examined validation parameters were in accordance with the permitted tolerances ranges stipulated in the proposed new European validation criteria for residue surveillance. For the three analytes, the overall recovery was higher than 90%. The RSD for the repeatability ranged from 5 to 11%. The range for the within-laboratory reproducibility was between 2 and 17%. The decision limits for mebendazole, the hydrolysed and the reduced metabolite were 56.6, 61.8 and 64.2 microg kg(-1), respectively. The detection capabilities for these substances were 60.0, 86.1 and 90.9 microg kg(-1), respectively.     

Determination of multiresidue quinolones regulated by the European Union in pig liver samples. High-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry versus tandem mass spectrometry detection

The use of liquid chromatography coupled to orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-ToF-MS) provides an attractive alternative to liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole (LC-MS) or triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in multiresidue analysis. ToF-MS provides accurate mass information and a significantly higher mass resolution than quadrupole analyzers. In this work, the influential parameters in time-of-flight detection using an electrospray ionization (ESI) source were studied using a central composite design to obtain the main effects and their two-factor interactions. The method developed uses LC-ESI-ToF-MS to determine and characterize quinolones regulated by the EU in pig liver samples below the maximum residue limits (MRLs). Linearity, decision limit, detection capability, detection and quantification limits, precision and recoveries were determined and adequate results were obtained, with quantification limits between 1.5 and 6 microg kg(-1) and recoveries higher than 60% for all quinolones. Limits of detection are lower than 2 microg kg(-1). Results obtained using LC-ESI-ToF-MS were compared with those obtained using LC coupled to a quadrupole and to triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The work described in this paper illustrates the suitability and excellent confirmatory potential of LC-ToF-MS for multiresidue analysis in food samples.     

Validation of a multi-residue method for the determination of several antibiotic groups in honey by LC-MS/MS

The presented multi-method was developed for the confirmation of 37 antibiotic substances from the six antibiotic groups: macrolides, lincosamides, quinolones, tetracyclines, pleuromutilines and diamino-pyrimidine derivatives. All substances were analysed simultaneously in a single analytical run with the same procedure, including an extraction with buffer, a clean-up by solid-phase extraction, and the measurement by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in ESI+ mode. The method was validated on the basis of an in-house validation concept with factorial design by combination of seven factors to check the robustness in a concentration range of 5-50 μg kg(-1). The honeys used were of different types with regard to colour and origin. The values calculated for the validation parameters-decision limit CCα (range, 7.5-12.9 μg kg(-1)), detection capability CCβ (range, 9.4-19.9 μg kg(-1)), within-laboratory reproducibility RSD(wR) (<20% except for tulathromycin with 23.5% and tylvalosin with 21.4 %), repeatability RSD(r) (<20% except for tylvalosin with 21.1%), and recovery (range, 92-106%)-were acceptable and in agreement with the criteria of Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The validation results showed that the method was applicable for the residue analysis of antibiotics in honey to substances with and without recommended concentrations, although some changes had been tested during validation to determine the robustness of the method.     

A coulometric method for determining substances that interfere with the measurement of water in oils and other chemicals by the Karl Fischer method

In order to fulfill a need to measure water in crude oils containing materials that interfere with the measurement of water by the Karl Fischer method, by reacting with iodine or iodide, a coulometric method has been developed and validated using 0.1 mol L(-1) Sodium thiosulfate as a calibrant. These interfering substances were measured in water-mass-equivalents, which were expressed as the mass of water that reacts with an equal mass of iodine in the Karl Fischer method. The SO(2)-free reagent that has been modified reacts quantitatively with sodium thiosulfate, cysteine and ascorbic acid but does not react with vinyl acetate. The level of interfering substances was measured in five transformer oils (including Reference Materials RM 8506 and RM 8507), a high and a low sulfur crude oil (Standard Reference Materials SRM 2721 and SRM 2722 respectively), a white oil, a high-vacuum oil and a high-viscosity base-stock oil. One oil contained less than 10 mg kg(-1) (water-mass-equivalents of interfering substances in oil) and two oils (RM 8507 and Drakeol 35) contained no measurable amount of interfering material (<0.2 mg kg(-1)). SRM 2271, a sour crude oil contained 834 mg kg(-1) (standard deviation (SD)=25 mg kg(-1)) (water-mass-equivalents of interfering substances in oil). Approximately 20% of this material was volatile and an additional 20% appeared to undergo some degradation (possibly oxidation) once the oil was exposed to air. These results indicate that this is a general method for measuring substances in oils that react with iodine and that it is capable of measuring in a variety of oils, using commercial instrumentation, interfering substances that inflate water measurements.

Simultaneous determination of fumonisins B1, B2 and B3 contaminants in maize by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

The present work developed an analytical method for simultaneous determination of fumonisins B(1), B(2) and B(3) residues in maize by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, and especially focused on the optimization of extraction, clean-up, UHPLC separation and MS/MS parameters. The method involves addition of fumonisins isotope internal standards, extraction with a mixture of acetonitrile and water and clean-up with solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges before UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. A single-laboratory method validation was conducted by testing three different spiking levels for repeatability and recovery according to International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) guidelines. The LOQ of FB(1), FB(2) and FB(3) were 1.50, 1.65 and 0.4 μg kg(-1), respectively, which were lower than the criteria of EU, USA and other countries regarding minimum residue limits of fumonisins in foods including baby foods and feedstuffs. Recoveries of three fumonisins ranged from 80.9% to 97.0% with RSD values of 2.4-11.1%.The advantages of this method include simple pretreatment, rapid determination and high sensitivity, and it fulfills the requirements for food analysis with respect to minimum residue limits of fumonisins in various countries.     

Determination of gestagens in kidney fat by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

The use of gestagens in animal fattening is prohibited within the European Union. Recently, the use of spectrometric methods for the detection and confirmation of banned substances was made obligatory. Therefore, conventional high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been superseded. It has been possible to couple a previously described HPLC method for the determination of acetyl-gestagens in kidney fat to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The decision limits CCalpha and the detection capability CCbeta are found to be below the minimum required performance limit (MRPL) established for medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) at 1 microg kg(-1). The calculated values for CCalpha are as follows: megestrol acetate (MGA)--0.15 microg kg(-1), melengesterol acetate (MLA)--0.15 microg kg(-1), chlormadinone acetate (CMA)--0.37 microg kg(-1) and for medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)--0.24 microg kg(-1). The CCbeta values for these compounds have been determined as 0.19, 0.19, 0.47 and 0.32 microg kg(-1), respectively.

Chromatography is performed on an octadecylsilane column using mobile phases of acetonitrile-water with an ion-pair reagent, with UV detection. For verification of positive results, the drug substances are derivatized to methyl or pentafluorobenzyl derivatives suitable for detection by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the electron-impact or positive or negative chemical-ionization mode.

Liquid chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of chemotherapeutant residues in salmon

Liquid chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) method has been developed for simultaneous confirmation by accurate mass measurement and quantitative determination of antibiotics (enrofloxacin, oxolinic acid, flumequine, erythromycin), fungicides (malachite green MG, leucomalachite green LMG) and parasiticide (emamectin benzoate) residues in edible portion of salmon. Confirmation of chemotherapeutant residues has been based on the system of identification points (IPs) established in the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC concerning the use of mass spectrometry (MS) techniques. A validation study on matrix is presented evaluating accuracy in terms of precision (λ_ppm 0.83-1.15) and trueness (0.22-0.70 Da). Limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were in ranges of 1-3 and 3-9 μg/kg, below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established in current EU legislation (100-200 μg/kg) for these chemotherapeutants. Considering the EU guidelines, decision limits (CCα) and detection capabilities (CCβ) were determined (ranges of 103-218 and 107-234 μg/kg, respectively) for authorised substances. For no authorised compounds (MG and LMG), LODs were 2 and 1 μg/kg, respectively, but exceed the MRPL (minimum required performance limit) established in the legislation which corresponds to the sum of MG and LMG (2 μg/kg). Acceptable intra-day and inter-day variability, in terms of relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the analytical method, were obtained (2-15%). Linearity was demonstrated from the LOQs of the analytes to 600 μg/kg (r > 0.9991). The method has involved an extraction procedure based on solid-liquid extraction (SLE) with recoveries higher than 80% for most target chemotherapeutants, with exception of enrofloxacin (40%).     

Screening and confirmation criteria for hormone residue analysis using liquid chromatography accurate mass time-of-flight, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and orbitrap mass spectrometry techniques

An emerging trend is recognised in hormone and veterinary drug residue analysis from liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) based screening and confirmation towards accurate mass alternatives such as LC coupled with time-of-flight (TOF), Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) or Fourier transform orbitrap (FT Orbitrap) MS. In this study, mass resolution and accuracy are discussed for LC/MS screening and confirmation of targeted analytes and for the identification of unknowns using the anabolic steroid stanozolol and the designer beta-agonist "Clenbuterol-R" as model substances. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that mass accuracy criteria without proper mass resolution criteria yield false compliant (false negative) results, both in MS screening and MS/MS confirmation of stanozolol. On the other hand, previous medium resolution accurate mass TOFMS/MS data of the designer beta-agonist were fully confirmed by high resolution FT Orbitrap MS(n) experiments. A discussion is initiated through a proposal for additional criteria for the use of accurate mass LC/MS technologies, to be implemented in Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.     

Confirmation of synthetic glucocorticoids with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry: organization and results of an international interlaboratory comparison test

Within the framework of a European Union (EU) research project entitled "Food Safety Screening: Synthetic Glucocorticoids (QLK1-1999-00122)," an international interlaboratory ring test was organized to compare and evaluate different liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) confirmatory methods that are applied in European monitoring programs for detecting the use of synthetic glucocorticoids. Liver and urine samples of bovines treated with synthetic glucocorticoids were collected and sent to the participants of the study for analysis. Participants received 3 liver and 3 urine samples and were free to use either their own LC/MS method or an LC/MS-based method developed during the EU research project. The residue concentrations in the samples were calculated as the mean of the concentrations reported by each laboratory. The mean dexamethasone concentration of liver sample L1 was calculated as 2.27 microg/kg [relative standard deviation (RSD) 43%, n = 9], which exceeds the maximum residue level (MRL) of 2 microg/kg. Three of the 9 laboratories (33%) reported concentration levels less than 2 microg/kg, resulting in obviously false compliant results. The overall mean concentration of flumethasone in liver sample L2 was calculated as 3.27 microg/kg (RSD 33%, n = 8). Applying a comparable limit for flumethasone of 2 microg/kg, 8 of the 9 laboratories would have obtained a correct noncompliant result. As for the blank liver sample, 1 participant found a false noncompliant result. The urine sample U1 contained prednisolone residues at a mean concentration of 1.58 microg/kg (RSD 43%, n = 9). Four out of 9 results were less than a theoretical minimum required performance level (MRPL) of 2 microg/kg. The calculated concentration of dexamethasone in urine sample U3 was 5.21 microg/kg (RSD 62%, n = 9). One of the 9 results was lower than 2 microg/kg. Urine sample U2 was correctly reported as blank by all participants.     

Mass spectrometric evidence for mechanisms of fragmentation of charge-derivatized peptides

Mass spectrometry of charged derivatives of peptides has been a growing area of interest in the past decade. Fragmentation of charged derivatives of peptides is believed to be different from than that of protonated peptides when analyzed by collisionally activated dissociation-tandem mass spectrometry (CAD-MS/MS). The charged derivatives fragment by charge-remote fragmentation mechanisms, which are usually classified as high-energy (HE)-CAD processes. Our objective in the present study is to investigate the mechanism of fragmentation of charged derivatives of peptides when analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-postsource decay-mass spectrometry (MALDI-PSD-MS) and electrospray ionization (ESI)-CAD-MS/MS (ion trap), which involve low-energy processes. Three major types of hydrogens (alpha, beta, and amide) are available for migration during the formation of the *a(n) ions (the predominant ion series produced from these charged derivatives). To pinpoint which of the three hydrogens is involved in the formation of the *a(n) ions, deuterium-labeled peptide derivatives with labels at specific sites were synthesized and analyzed by MALDI-PSD-MS and ESI-CAD-MS/MS. Our results suggest that the amide hydrogen of the residue at which the cleavage occurs shifts during the formation of *a(n); this observation serves as evidence for the mechanism proposed earlier by Liao et al. for fragmentation of such charged derivatives. The results also help elucidate the structure of the *a(n) ions, *b(n) ions, and others formed during cleavage at the proline residue, as well as the ions formed during loss of the C-terminal residue from these charged derivatives.     

Investigation of unknown related substances in commercial erythromycin samples with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

A selective reversed phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS(n)) method is described for the identification of erythromycin impurities and related substances in commercial erythromycin samples. Mass spectral data are acquired on a LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray interface operated in positive ion mode. The LCQ is ideally suited for identification of impurities and related substances because it provides on-line LC/MS(n) capability. Compared with UV detection, this hyphenated LC/MS(n) technique provides as a main advantage efficient identification of novel substances without time-consuming isolation and purification procedures. Using this method four novel related substances were identified in commercial samples.

Development of melamine certified reference material in milk using two different isotope dilution mass spectrometry techniques

A new certified reference material (CRM) of melamine in milk GLHK-11-02 was developed aiming to address the great demand from the testing community after the melamine crises. The material was prepared by adding an appropriate quantity of melamine into the skimmed milk samples and the final product was in the form of fine lyophilized powder. Characterization of the material relied on two newly developed gravimetric isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) methods, one using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and another gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Experimental parameters with crucial effects on the performance of the two IDMS methods were thoroughly investigated. These included purity of standard used, equilibration time of isotopes, efficiency of extraction methods as well as possible interferences from the matrix and melamine analogues. Precision was found to be excellent with a coefficient of variation of 2.5% for the LC-IDMS/MS (n=46) and 1.9% for the GC-IDMS (n=30) respectively. Using one-tail Student's t-test at 95% confidence interval, analytical data sets generated from the two methods were found to exhibit no significant difference. Measurement accuracy of the methods was further verified through an Asia Pacific Metrology Program (APMP) pilot study. Analytical results of the present LC-IDMS/MS for the two milk test samples at the concentration level of about 0.45 and 3.5 mg kg(-1) were proven to be very good. There were excellent overlaps between our results and the assigned reference values, and the absolute deviation was less than 3.2%. Both the LC-IDMS/MS and GC-IDMS methods were shown to be sufficiently reliable and accurate for certification of the melamine CRM. Certified value of melamine in dry mass fraction in GLHK-11-02 was 1.14 mg kg(-1). Expanded uncertainty due to sample inhomogeneity, long term and short term stability and variability in the characterization procedure was at 7.1% or 0.08 mg kg(-1). The CRM is primarily used to provide a complete method validation for and to improve the technical competence of melamine analysis to food and chemical testing laboratories.     

First Evidence of “Earth Wax” Inside the Casting Molds from the Roman Era

This research was focused on the analysis of material composition and organic residues present in three molds found in the Moravian region (Czech Republic) belonging to the Roman era. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy pointed out the possible remelting of Roman objects in Barbarian territory. The analysis of organic residues retrieved from the internal part of mold #2 by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry proved the presence of ozokerite wax (“earth wax”). Consequent analysis of this organic residue by Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe–ion mobility spectrometry–high-resolution mass spectrometry (ASAP-IMS-HRMS) confirmed the presence of ceresin, the main component of ozokerite. Ceresin was also detected in a sample of the organic residue from mold #1. Note that this is the first application of ASAP-IMS-HRMS in archaeological research. The remains of earth wax in molds suggest the production of wax models as an intermediate stage for the production of lost-wax ceramic casting molds.     

Analysis of carbamate and phenylurea pesticide residues in fruit juices by solid-phase microextraction and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A new analysis method to detect carbamates and phenylurea pesticide residues in fruit juices was developed using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography-single quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and liquid chromatography-quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/QIT-MS). The pesticide residues present in watery matrices as fruit juices were extracted using three types of fibers: 50-microm Carbowax/templated resin (CW/TPR), 60-mum poly(dimethylsiloxane)/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) and 85-microm polyacrylate. The different extraction conditions were evaluated choosing as the best parameters 90 min (time), 20 degrees C (temperature) and 1 ml (volume). After extraction, the desorption (in a static mode) was performed in the specific interface chamber SPME/HPLC, previously filled with 70% methanol and 30% water. The best recoveries, evaluated at two fortification levels (0.2 and 0.5 mg kg(-1)) in fruit juices, were obtained using PDMS/DVB and CW/TPR fibers, and ranged from 25 to 82% (monolinuron, diuron and diethofencarb), with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 1 to 17%. All the limits of quantification (LOQs) were in the range of 0.005-0.05 microg ml(-1) and, in any case, equal to, or lower than, maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by Italian and Spanish legislations. The mass spectrometry analyses were carried out using an electrospray ionization (ESI) source operating in the positive mode both for single quadrupole and for QIT mass analysers, operating in selected ion monitoring (SIM) and in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes, respectively. The proposed new method can be applied to the determination of selected pesticides in real samples of fruit juices.
