Determination of daidzein and genistein in soybean foods by automated on-line in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography

An automated on-line method for the determination of the isoflavones, daidzein and genistein, was developed using in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography (in-tube SPME-HPLC). In-tube SPME is a new extraction technique for organic compounds in aqueous samples, in which analytes are extracted from the sample directly into an open tubular capillary by repeated draw/eject cycles of sample solution. Daidzein, genistein and their glucosides tested in this study were clearly separated within 8 min by HPLC using an XDB-C8 column with diode array detection. In order to optimize the extraction of these compounds, several in-tube SPME parameters were examined. The glucosides daidzin and genistin were analyzed as aglycones after hydrolysis because the glucosides were not concentrated by in-tube SPME. The optimum extraction conditions for daidzein and genistein were obtained with 20 draw/eject cycles of 40 microl of sample using a Supel-Q porous layer open tubular capillary column. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by mobile phase flow, and carryover was not observed. Using the in-tube SPME-HPLC method, the calibration curves of these compounds were linear in the range 5-200 ng/ml, with a correlation coefficient above 0.9999 (n = 18), and the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 0.4-0.5 ng/ml. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of soybean foods without interference peaks. The recoveries of aglycones and glucosides spiked into food samples were above 97%.     

Determination of stimulants in human urine and hair samples by polypyrrole coated capillary in-tube solid phase microextraction coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of amphetamine, methamphetamine and their methylenedioxy derivatives in urine and hair samples was developed by coupling automated in-tube solid phase microextraction (SPME) to high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ES-MS). To achieve optimum performance, the conditions for both the in-tube SPME and the ES-MS detection were investigated. ES-MS detection conditions were studied by flow injection analysis (FIA) with direct liquid injection. In-tube SPME conditions were optimized by selecting the appropriate extraction parameters, including capillary stationary phases and sample pH. For the compounds studied, a custom-made polypyrrole (PPY) coated capillary showed superior extraction efficiency as compared to commercial capillaries. Therefore, the PPY coated capillary was selected for in-tube SPME in this study. The calibration curves of stimulants were linear in the range from 0.1 to 100 ng ml(-1) with detection limits (S/N=3) of 8-56 ng l(-1). This method was successfully applied to the analysis of the stimulants in spiked human urine and hair samples.     

Bio-compatible in-tube solid-phase microextraction capillary for the direct extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of drugs in human serum

A restricted access material (RAM), alkyl-diol-silica (ADS), was used to prepare a highly bio-compatible solid-phase microextraction (SPME) capillary for the automated and direct in-tube extraction of several benzodiazepines from human serum. The bifunctionality of the ADS extraction phase prevented fouling of the capillary by protein adsorption while simultaneously trapping the analytes in the hydrophobic porous interior. This the first report of a restricted access material utilized as an extraction phase for in-tube SPME. The approach simplified the required apparatus in comparison to existing RAM column switching procedures, and more importantly eliminated the excessive use of extraction solvents. The biocompatibility of the ADS material also overcame the existing problems with in-tube SPME that requires an ultrafiltration or other deproteinization step prior to handling biological samples, therefore further minimizing the sample preparation requirements. The calculated oxazepam, temazepam, nordazepam and diazepam detection limits were 26, 29, 22 and 24 ng/ml in serum, respectively. The method was linear over the range of 50-50 000 ng/ml with an average linear coefficient (R2) value of 0.9998. The injection repeatability and intra-assay precision of the method were evaluated with five injections of a 10-microg/ml serum sample (spiked with all compounds), resulting in an average RSD<7%. The ADS extraction column was robust, providing many direct injections of biological fluids for the extraction and subsequent determination of benzodiazepines.     

Automated on-line in-tube solid-phase microextraction followed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry for the determination of chlorinated phenoxy acid herbicides in environmental waters

A method for the determination of six chlorinated phenoxy acid herbicides in river water was developed using in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS). In-tube SPME is an extraction technique for organic compounds in aqueous samples, in which analytes are extracted from a sample directly into an open tubular capillary by repeated draw/eject cycles of the sample solution. Simple mass spectra with strong signals corresponding to [M-H]- and [M-RCOOH]- were observed for all herbicides tested in this study. The best separation of these compounds was obtained with a C18 column using linear gradient elution with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water containing 5 mmol l-1 dibutylamine acetate (DBA). To optimize the extraction of herbicides, several in-tube SPME parameters were examined. The optimum extraction conditions were 25 draw/eject cycles of 30 microliters of sample in 0.2% formic acid (pH 2) at a flow rate of 200 microliters min-1 using a DB-WAX capillary. The herbicides extracted by the capillary were easily desorbed by 10 microliters acetonitrile. Using in-tube SPME-LC/ESI-MS with time-scheduled selected ion monitoring, the calibration curves of herbicides were linear in the range 0.05-50 ng ml-1 with correlation coefficients above 0.999. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of river water samples without interference peaks. The limit of quantification was in the range 0.02-0.06 ng ml-1 and the limit of detection (S/N = 3) was in the range 0.005-0.03 ng ml-1. The repeatability and reproducibility were in the range 2.5-4.1% and 6.2-9.1%, respectively.     

Automated in-tube solid phase microextraction coupled with HPLC-ES-MS for the determination of catechins and caffeine in tea

A polypyrrole (PPY) coated capillary and several commercially available capillaries (capillary GC columns) were used to evaluate their extraction efficiencies for catechins and caffeine. Compared with commercial capillaries that were currently used for in-tube solid phase microextraction (SPME), the PPY coated capillary showed better extraction efficiency for all of the compounds studied. Electrospray mass spectrometric (ES-MS) detection conditions were also investigated. After optimization of the extraction and detection conditions, a method for the sensitive and selective determination of catechins and caffeine was developed by coupling the PPY coated capillary in-tube SPME with HPLC-ES-MS. Catechins could be determined in both positive and negative ion detection modes. The detection limit (S/N = 3) for each of the studied catechins was < 0.5 ng mL-1. Caffeine could only be determined under positive ES-MS detection conditions and its detection limit was 0.01 ng mL-1. Caffeine and the five catechins in several tea samples were determined using the developed method. Small amounts of catechins were also detected in grape juice and wine samples.     

Fully automated analysis of estrogens in environmental waters by in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of five estrogens, estrone, 17beta-estradiol, estriol, ethynyl estradiol, and diethylstilbestrol, was developed using a fully automated method consisting of in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). These estrogens were separated within 8 min by HPLC using an XDB-C8 column and 0.01% ammonia/acetonitrile (60/40, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Electrospray ionization conditions in the negative ion mode were optimized for MS/MS detection of the estrogens. The optimum in-tube SPME conditions were 20 draw/eject cycles of 40 microL of sample using a Supel-Q PLOT capillary column as an extraction device. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by passage of the mobile phase, and no carryover was observed. Using the in-tube SPME LC/MS/MS method, good linearity of the calibration curve (r > or = 0.9996) was obtained in the concentration range from 10 to 200 pg/mL for all compounds examined. The limits of detection (S/N= 3) of the five estrogens examined ranged from 2.7 to 11.7 pg/mL. The in-tube SPME method showed 34-90-fold higher sensitivity than the direct injection method (5 microL injection). This method was applied successfully to the analysis of environmental water samples without any other pretreatment and interference peaks. Several surface water and wastewater samples were collected from the area around Asahi River, and estriol was detected at 35.7 pg/mL in the effluent of a sewage treatment plant. The recoveries of estrogens spiked into river waters were above 86%, except for estriol, and the relative standard deviations were below 0.9-8.8%.

In-tube solid-phase microextraction with poly(methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary for direct high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of ketamine in urine samples

Ketamine was used for anaesthesia originally but has emerged as an abused drug in recent years. The prevalence of ketamine abuse demands a direct and rapid determination method. It is known that in-tube solid phase microextraction (in-tube SPME) can perform extraction with a capillary linked directly to a HPLC system, providing an automated and accurate extraction procedure. In this paper, an in-tube SPME coupled to HPLC method was developed for the determination of ketamine in urine samples with a poly(methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary column as the extraction phase, which is expected to provide higher extraction efficiency than open tubular capillaries. After optimizing the extraction conditions, ketamine was extracted directly from urine samples in a wide dynamic linear range of 50-10,000 ng mL(-1), with the detection limit obtained as 6.4 ng mL(-1). The intra-day and inter-day precision for the method was 1.6% and 1.7%, respectively. The urine samples from suspect addicts have been successfully analyzed within 20 min. The re-usability of the monolithic column was also confirmed as no decrease of the extraction efficiency was shown after urine extraction.     

Analysis of polar pesticides in water and wine samples by automated in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of polar pesticides in water and wine samples was developed by coupling automated in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). To achieve optimum performance, the conditions for both the in-tube SPME and the ESI-MS detection were investigated. In-tube SPME conditions were optimized by selecting the appropriate extraction parameters, especially the stationary phases used for SPME. For the compounds studied, a custom-made polypyrrole (PPY)-coated capillary showed superior extraction efficiency as compared to several commercial capillaries tested, and therefore, it was selected for in-tube SPME. The influence of the ethanol content on the performance of in-tube SPME was also investigated. It was found that the amount of pesticides extracted decreased with the increase of ethanol content in the solutions. The ESI-MS detection conditions were optimized as follows: nebulizer gas, N2 (30 p.s.i.; 1 p.s.i.=6894.76 Pa); drying gas, N2 (10 l/min, 350 degrees C); capillary voltage, 4500 V; ionization mode, positive; mass scan range, 50-350 amu; fragmentor voltage, variable depending on the ions selected. Due to the high extraction efficiency of the PPY coating and the high sensitive mass detection, the detection limits (S/N = 3) of this method for the compounds studied are in the range of 0.01 to 1.2 ng/ml, which are more than one order of magnitude lower than those of the previous in-tube SPME-HPLC-UV method. A linear relationship was obtained for each analyte in the concentration range of 0.5 to 200 ng/ml with MS detection. This method was applied to the analysis of phenylurea and carbamate pesticides in spiked water and wine samples.     

Determination of fluoroquinolones in environmental waters by in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

We developed a sensitive and useful method for the determination of five fluoroquinolones (FQs), enoxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and lomefloxacin in environmental waters, using a fully automated method consisting of in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). These compounds were analysed within 7 min by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a CAPCELL PAK C8 column and aqueous ammonium formate (pH 3.0, 5 mM)/acetonitrile (85/15, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Electrospray ionization conditions in the positive ion mode were optimized for MS/MS detection. In order to optimize the extraction of FQs, several in-tube SPME parameters were examined. The optimum in-tube SPME conditions were 20 draw/eject cycles of 40 μL of sample at a flow-rate of 150 μL/min, using a Carboxen 1010 PLOT capillary column as an extraction device. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by passage of the mobile phase. Using the in-tube SPME LC/MS/MS method, good linearity of the calibration curve (r ≥ 0.997) was obtained in the concentration range from 0.1 to 10 ng/mL for all compounds examined. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) of the five FQs ranged from 7 to 29 pg/mL. The in-tube SPME method showed 60-94-fold higher sensitivity than the direct injection method (5 μL injection). This method was applied successfully to the analysis of environmental water samples without any other pretreatment and interference peaks. Several surface waters and wastewaters were collected from the area around Asahi River, and ofloxacin was detected in wastewater samples of a sewage treatment plant and other two hospitals at 17.5-186.2 pg/mL. The recoveries of FQs spiked into river water were above 81% for a 0.1 or 0.2 ng/mL spiking concentration, and the relative standard deviations were below 1.9-8.6%.

We have developed a simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of testosterone (TES), cortisol (CRT), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in saliva by automated online in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) using a Discovery HS F5 column. The optimum in-tube SPME conditions were 25 draw/eject cycles of 40 μL of sample at a flow rate of 200 μL/min using a Supel-Q PLOT capillary column as an extraction device. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by passage of the mobile phase, and no carryover was observed. The in-tube SPME LC–MS/MS method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients r?≥?0.9998 for TES, CRT, and DHEA using their respective stable isotope-labeled internal standards. The intra-day and inter-day precisions (relative standard deviations) were below 4.9 and 8.5 % (n?=?5), respectively. This method was successfully utilized to analyze TES, CRT, and DHEA in saliva samples without any other pretreatment or interference peaks, and the quantification limits (S/N?=?10) of TES, CRT and DHEA were about 0.01, 0.03 and 0.29 ng/mL saliva, respectively. The recoveries of these compounds spiked into saliva samples were each above 94 %. This method was applied to analyze changes in salivary TES, CRT, and DHEA levels resulting from stress and fatigue load.     

Selective molecularly imprinted polymer combined with restricted access material for in-tube SPME/UHPLC-MS/MS of parabens in breast milk samples

A new molecularly imprinted polymer modified with restricted access material (a hydrophilic external layer), (MIP-RAM) was synthesized via polymerization in situ in an open fused silica capillary. This stationary phase was used as sorbent for in-tube solid phase microextraction (in-tube SPME) to determine parabens in breast milk samples by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) illustrate MIP surface modification after glycerol dimethacrylate (hydrophilic monomer) incorporation. The interaction between parabens and MIP-RAM was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The Scatchard plot for MIP-RAM presented two linear parts with different slopes, illustrating binding sites with high- and low-affinity. Endogenous compounds exclusion from the MIP-RAM capillary was demonstrated by in-tube SPME/LC-UV assays carried out with blank milk samples. The in-tube SPME/UHPLC-MS/MS method presented linear range from 10 ng mL⁻¹ (LLOQ) to 400 ng mL⁻¹ with coefficients of determination higher than 0.99, inter-assay precision with coefficient of variation (CV) values ranging from 2 to 15%, and inter-assay accuracy with relative standard deviation (RSD) values ranging from −1% to 19%. Analytical validation parameters attested that in-tube SPME/UHPLC-MS/MS is an appropriate method to determine parabens in human milk samples to assess human exposure to these compounds. Analysis of breast milk samples from lactating women demonstrated that the proposed method is effective.     

Preparation and evaluation of hydroxylated poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary for in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography

A hydroxylated poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) (GMA-co-EDMA) monolithic capillary was prepared and investigated for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The polymer monolith was synthesized by in-situ polymerization of GMA and EDMA in the presence of dodecanol and toluene as the mixed porogenic solvents. After polymerization, glycidyl groups were hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid to produce diol groups at the surface of the porous monolith. To investigate the extraction mechanism, several groups of model analytes (including neutral, acidic and basic) were selected to perform extractions. The resulting monolith showed high extraction selectivity towards polar compounds, which resulted from the enhancement of dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions relative to hydrophobic interactions. The equilibrium extraction time profiles were also monitored for those model compounds to assess the extraction capacity of the monolithic capillary. Moreover, the hydroxylated poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolithic capillary exhibited satisfactory reproducibility and stability. Finally, the in-tube SPME-HPLC method, based on the developed monolithic capillary as the extraction media, was successfully applied to the determination of five polar organic contaminants in lake water.

A simple and rapid method for simultaneous determination of benzoic and sorbic acids in food using in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography

A simple, rapid and sensitive on-line method for the simultaneous determination of benzoic and sorbic acids in food was developed by coupling in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. The diethylamine-modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary selected as the extraction medium exhibited a high extraction capability towards benzoic and sorbic acids. To obtain optimum extraction performance, several in-tube SPME parameters were investigated, including pH value, inorganic salt, and the organic solvent content of the sample matrix. After simple dilution with 0.02 mol/L phosphate solution (pH 4.0), carbonated drink, juice drink, sauce and jam samples could be directly injected for extraction. For succade samples, a small amount of acetonitrile was required to extract analytes prior to dilution and subsequent extraction. The linearity of the method was investigated over a concentration range of 5–20000 ng/mL for both analytes, and the correlation coefficients (R ² values) were higher than 0.999. The detection limits for benzoic and sorbic acids were 1.2 and 0.9 ng/mL, respectively. The method reproducibility was tested by evaluating the intra- and interday precisions; relative standard deviations of less than 4.4 and 9.9%, respectively, were obtained. Recoveries of compounds from spiked food samples ranged from 84.4 to 106%. The developed method was shown to be suitable for the routine monitoring of benzoic and sorbic acids in various types of food samples.     

Solid phase microextraction sampling for a rapid and simple on-site evaluation of volatile organic compounds emitted from building materials

An automated on-line method for the determination of the substituted aniline compounds was developed using in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupling to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In this work, oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) coated on the outer surface of the fused-silica tube and inserted in the polyether ether ketone (PEEK) tubing, which was fixed directly on the six-port injection valve to substitute for the sample loop. The extraction procedure was performed by a constant flow pump frequently driving the sample solution through the PEEK tubing and the analytes were adsorbed onto MWCNTs-COOH materials when the six-port valve set to load position. After extraction, the valve switched to inject position and the extracted analytes were desorbed by mobile phase in dynamic mode. High extraction capacity was achieved for the investigated analytes and great improvement of the limits of detection was obtained in comparison with other methods. The calibration plots were linear (r(2)> or =0.9949) over the concentration range of 1.04-104ngmL(-1) for 4-nitroaniline, 1.02-102ngmL(-1) for 2-nitroaniline, 1.68-168ngmL(-1) for 2-chloroaniline and 1.09-109ngmL(-1) for 2,4-dichloroaniline. The detection limit ranged from 0.04ngmL(-1) to 0.13ngmL(-1) (at S/N=3). The possibility of applying the established method to water samples analysis was also studied.

An on-line simple and rapid method for the simultaneous determination of tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC) and doxycycline (DC) residues in fish muscle was developed by coupling in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a photodiode array detector. Biocompatible poly (methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary was selected as the extraction medium, and no precipitating protein and removing fat steps were required prior to extraction. In order to optimize the extraction of these compounds, several in-tube SPME parameters were investigated. Simply performed by extracting with 0.01 M EDTA-MacIlvaine buffer solution (pH 4.0) and centrifugation, the sample then could be directly injected into the device for extraction. The limits of detection of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline were calculated to be 22, 16, 30 and 21 ng/g, respectively. The calibration curves showed linearity in the range of 100-10,000 ng/g with a linear coefficient R² value above 0.9980. Excellent method reproducibility was found by intra- and inter-day precisions, yielding the R.S.D.s less than 4.22% and 5.71%, respectively.
