Determination of Imidacloprid and metabolites by liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector and post column photochemical reactor

A procedure for the determination of Imidacloprid and its main metabolites was set up by means of liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector and post-column photochemical reactor (LC-hν-ED). Sample clean-up was developed for bees, filter paper and maize leaves. Chromatographic conditions were based on a reversed-phase C-18 column operated by phosphate buffer 50 mM/CH₃CN (80/20, v/v) at pH 2.9. Detection of Imidacloprid and its metabolites was performed at a potential of 800 mV after photoactivation at 254 nm. Compared to conventional techniques such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or LC coupled to other detectors, the present method allows simultaneous trace-level determination of both Imidacloprid (0.6 ng ml⁻¹) and its main metabolites (2.4 ng ml⁻¹).

Analysis of alkyl organoiodide mixtures by high-performance liquid chromatography using electrochemical detection with a post-column photochemical reactor

A method for the analysis of six alkyl organoiodides (iodomethane, iodoethane, 1-iodopropane, 1-iodobutane, 1-iodopentane, 1-iodohexane) commonly found in acetic acid process was developed. In this method the target analytes were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a post-column photochemical reactor with electrochemical detection (ED) in less than 30 min. HPLC was performed in ODS C18 reversed-phase column (5 microm, 250 x 4.6 mm I.D.) under isocratic conditions with methanol-0.067 M acetate buffer (70:30, v/v), pH 6.2 as mobile phase at flow-rate 1.1 ml/min. Alkyl organoiodides, which are electrochemically inactive, were made oxidizable at potential of 120 mV after post-column irradiation with low-pressure mercury lamp in a knitted PTFE tube. The photoreactor was placedin an aluminum housing full of nitrogen in order to prevent from the interference of oxygen. The detection limit for most analytes was of the order of 1-2 microg/l. The HPLC-ED method with a post-column photochemical reactor has good precision and linearity and can be readily applied to the routine determination of alkyl organoiodides in real acetic acid samples.

Novel quartz flow-cell as a post-column photochemical reactor for high-performance liquid chromatography

The construction of a new post-column photochemical reactor with quartz flow cells in series for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The performance of the new reactor was compared with a conventional open tubular PTFE coil reactor. The sensitivity, accuracy and precision obtained with both reactors are comparable. The new reactor has the obvious advantages of smaller cell volume as well as inertness and resistance to not only light and heat produced by the UV lamp, but also to organic solvents in the mobile phases, which results in greatly improved durability, reduced peak broadening and shorter chromatographic run times. Application of the new reactor to the fluorescence detection of DU-6859a, a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent, in human serum is reported.     

High performance liquid chromatography of biological polyamines using immobilized enzyme as post-column reactor followed by electrochemical detection

A novel analytical method for biological polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) was developed. Polyamines were separated by ion-pair reversed phase chromatography using a polymer-based octadecyl bonded column. A polyamine oxidase immobilized column worked effectively as a post-column reactor to convert polyamines to hydrogen peroxide which was eventually detected by electrochemical oxidation on platinum electrode. This method required neither tedious derivatization nor gradient elution, permitting us to perform simple and rapid analysis of polyamines. The detection limits were 0.3, 0.6, and 4 pmol injected for putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, respectively with a linear range of two to three orders of magnitude. Chromatograms obtained with samples from human urine and rat brain homogenates demonstrated the high sensitivity and selectivity of the method.

Analysis of barbiturates by micro-high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column photochemical derivatization

This study attempts to combine the advantages of microcolumn high-performance liquid chromatography (μ-HPLC) with those of post-column photochemical derivatization in barbiturate analysis. Some barbiturates are photochemically unstable, leading to photoproducts that show maximum absorption at 270 nm and not the typical one at ≈220 nm. For this purpose, a laboratory-built photoreactor has been developed to work with μ-HPLC instruments. Its performance is satisfactory in the forensic analysis of barbiturates.

Determination of aflatoxins in cereal flours by solid-phase microextraction coupled with liquid chromatography and post-column photochemical derivatization-fluorescence detection

A new method for the determination of aflatoxins B₁, B₂, G₁, and G₂ (AFB₁, AFB₂, AFG₁, AFG₂) in cereal flours based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography with post-column photochemical derivatization and fluorescence detection (SPME–HPLC–PD–FD) has been developed. Aflatoxins were extracted from cereal flour samples by a methanol:phosphate buffer (pH 5.8, I = 0.1) (80:20, v/v) solution, followed by a SPME step. Different SPME and HPLC–PD–FD parameters (fiber polarity, temperature, pH, ionic strength, adsorption and desorption time, mobile phase) have been investigated and optimized. This method, which was assessed for the analysis of different cereal flours, showed interesting results in terms of LOD (from 0.035 to 0.2 ng g⁻¹), LOQ (from 0.1 to 0.63 ng g⁻¹, respectively), within and inter-day repeatability (2.27% and 5.38%, respectively) linear ranges (up to 20 ng g⁻¹ for AFB₁ and AFG₁ and 6 ng g⁻¹ for AFB₂ and AFG₂), and total raw extraction efficiency (in the range 55–59% at concentrations in the range 0.3–1 ng g⁻¹ and 49–52% at concentrations in the range 1–10 ng g⁻¹). The results were also compared with the purification step carried out by conventional immunoaffinity columns.     

Determination of serum catecholamine metabolites in neuroblastoma by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A method for determining serum catecholamine metabolites such as vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl glycol (MHPG) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in neuroblastoma by using high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detector is described. The separation of catecholamine metabolites was performed on a reverse phase column with an eluting system containing citric acid-potassium hydrogen phosphate buffer and methanol as the organic modifier. The experimental results showed that VMA and HVA levels in the serum of neuroblastoma patients were 15-30 times higher than that of the normal control group. The same phenomenon also occurred in patients with stage II neuroblastoma. Serum VMA, MHPG and HVA levels reduced to normal in patients suffering from neuroblastoma after surgery. Serum catecholamine metabolites analysed by using HPLC/ECD is more simple, sensitive and reliable than that by usual urine assay and might be used for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma even in early stage.

Detection of metal ions as BNMDTC complexes at the 10^?8 M level is feasible. Iron, nickel, mercury and cobalt complexes are readily determined.
