建立了顶空固相微萃取(HS-SPME)/气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)同时测定液态化妆品中8种邻苯二甲酸酯类增塑剂(PAEs)的分析方法,并对萃取涂层、萃取温度、搅拌速率、盐浓度等参数进行了优化。最终采用65μm聚二甲基硅氧烷/二乙烯基苯(PDMS/DVB)固相微萃取纤维头,调节待萃取液盐浓度为360 g.L-1,在搅拌速率600 r/min及萃取温度90℃条件下萃取60 min,在250℃进样口解吸4 min后供GC-MS分析。结果表明,该方法对除邻苯二甲酸二苯酯(DPhP)外的7种目标化合物的线性范围为10～2 000μg.kg-1,检出限为0.7～13.6μg.kg-1,回收率为83%～97%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为2.5%～10.0%;由于DPhP在萃取涂层上的保留较弱,其回收率为70%,检出限为75μg.kg-1,RSD为13.9%。该方法能很好地富集基体中的目标化合物,满足液态化妆品中多种PAEs的分析要求。     

An aniline-based fiber coating for solid phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from water followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A fiber coating from polyaniline (PANI) was electrochemically prepared and employed for solid phase microextraction (SPME) of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples. The PANI film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface in sulfuric acid solution using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The applicability of this coating was assessed employing a laboratory-made SPME device and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the extraction of some PAHs from the headspace of aqueous samples. Application of wider potential range in CV led to a PANI with more stability against the temperature. The homogeneity and the porous surface structure of the film were examined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study revealed that this polymer is a suitable SPME fiber coating for extracting the selected PAHs. Important parameters influencing the extraction process were optimized and an extraction time of 40 min at 40 degrees C gave maximum peak area, when the aqueous sample was added with NaCl (20%, w/v). The synthesis of the PANI can be carried out conveniently and in a reproducible manner while it is rather inexpensive and stable against most of organic solvents. The film thickness of PANI can be precisely controlled by the number of CV cycles. The resulting thickness was roughly 20 microm after 20 cycles. At the optimum conditions, the relative standard deviation (RSD) for a double distilled water spiked with selected PAHs at ppb level were 8.80-16.8% (n = 3) and detection limits for the studied compounds were between 0.1-6 pg mL(-1). The performance of PANI was, also, compared with a commercial solid coated-based SPME fiber, carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB), under similar experimental conditions.     

离子液体键合固相微萃取涂层用于水样中五氯酚的测定

合成了1-甲基-3-三乙氧基硅基丙基咪唑二(三氟甲基磺酸酰)亚胺盐([TPMIM][NTf2])离子液体, 其热稳定性可达480 ℃, 并用其通过溶胶-凝胶法制备了一种含键合离子液体的固相微萃取(SPME)涂层. 该涂层的使用温度可达340 ℃. 优化了萃取温度、萃取时间、溶液的pH、盐效应、解析温度以及解析时间. 在最优条件下, 采用顶空固相微萃取结合GC/FID的方法测定水样中五氯酚(PCP)的检出限为1 ng/L, 线性范围为10-3~102 μg/L, 线性相关系数为0.9994, 相对标准偏差(RSD, n=5)为3.5%, 加标回收率为84.5%.     

Considerations on Static and Dynamic Sorptive and Adsorptive Sampling to Monitor Volatiles Emitted by Living Plants

Static and dynamic headspace sampling have been applied for the enrichment of volatiles emitted by living plants. For solid phase microextraction (SPME) the sorptive fibers polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyacrylate (PA) have been compared and, in accordance with the like‐like principle, polar compounds exhibit more affinity for the PA fiber while apolar solutes favor the PDMS fiber. For dynamic sampling, tubes packed with PDMS particles show greater inertness than Tenax; some Tenax decomposition products, e.g. benzaldehyde and acetophenone, interfere with the analyses. With PDMS particles operated in the breakthrough mode, the obtained profiles are similar to those obtained by SPME on the PA fiber. Recoveries relative to a packed PDMS bed are 85% for Tenax, 2.4% for SPME‐PDMS, and 6.2% for SPME‐PA.     

Preparation of a Carbon-Coated SPME Fiber and Application to the Analysis of BTEX and Halocarbons in Water

A carbon-coated fiber for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been prepared from powdered activated carbon (PAC) and a fused-silica fiber. Scanning electron microscopy of the coating revealed the carbon particles were uniformly distributed on the surface of the fiber substrate. Efficient extraction of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, and o-xylene) and halocarbons (chloroform, trichloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride), with short extraction and desorption times, was achieved by use of the coated fiber. The maximum working temperature of the coated fiber was 300 °C and the lifetime was over 140 desorption operations at 260 °C. Limits of quantification (LOQ) of the SPME method for the eight analytes ranged from 0.01 to 0.94 μg L⁻¹, and relative standard deviations (RSD) were below 7.2% (n=6). Recoveries were 87.9–113.4% when the method was applied to the analysis of BTEX and the halocarbons in real aqueous samples. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Analysis of volatile oil composition of Citrus aurantium L. by microwave‐assisted extraction coupled to headspace solid‐phase microextraction with nanoporous based fibers

Nanoporous silica was prepared and functionalized with amino propyl‐triethoxysilane to be used as a highly porous fiber‐coating material for solid‐phase microextraction (SPME). The prepared nanomaterials were immobilized onto a stainless steel wire for fabrication of the SPME fiber. The proposed fiber was evaluated for the extraction of volatile component of Citrus aurantium L. leaves. A homemade microwave‐assisted extraction followed by headspace (HS) solid‐phase apparatus was used for the extraction of volatile components. For optimization of factors affecting the extraction efficiency of the volatile compounds, a simplex optimization method was used. The repeatability for one fiber (n = 4), expressed as RSD, was between 3.1 and 8.6% and the reproducibility for five prepared fibers was between 10.1 and 14.9% for the test compounds. Using microwave‐assisted distillation HS‐SPME followed by GC‐MS, 53 compounds were separated and identified in C. aurantium L., which mainly included limonene (62.0%), linalool (7.47%), trans‐β‐Ocimene (3.47%), and caryophyllene (2.05%). In comparison to a hydrodistillation method, the proposed technique could equally monitor almost all the components of the sample, in an easier way, which was rapid and required a much lower amount of sample.     

HS-SPME determination of volatile carbonyl and carboxylic compounds in different matrices

Specific chromatographic methodologies are developed for the analysis of carboxylic acids (C(2)-C(6), benzoic) and aldehydes (C(2)-C(10)) of low molecular weight in diverse matrices, such as air, automotive exhaust gases, human breath, and aqueous matrices. For carboxylic acids, the method is based on their reaction with pentafluorobenzyl bromide in aqueous solution, followed by the separation and identification of the resultant pentafluorobenzyl esters by means of headspace (HS)-solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography (GC) and electron capture detection (ECD). Detection limits in the microg/m(3) range are reached, with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 10% and linear response (R(2) > 0.99) over two orders of magnitude. The analytical methodology for aldehydes is based on SPME with simultaneous derivatization of the analytes on the fiber, by reaction with pentafluorophenylhydrazine. The derivatization reagent is previously deposited on the SPME fiber, which is then exposed to the gaseous matrix or the HS of the sample solution. The pentafluorophenyl hydrazones formed on the fiber are analyzed selectively by means of GC-ECD, with detection limits in the ng/m(3) range, RSD less than 10%, and linear response (R(2) > 0.99) over two orders of magnitude.     

On-fiber derivatization for direct immersion solid-phase microextraction. Part II. Acylation of amphetamine with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride for urine analysis

On-fiber derivatization was used for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in order to increase the detectability and extractability of drugs in biological samples. Amphetamine, which was used as a model compound, was derivatized with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride (PFBCl) and subjected to gas chromatography with electron capture or mass spectrometric detection. Extraction was performed by direct immersion of a 100 microm polydimethylsiloxane-coated fiber into buffered human urine. On-fiber derivatization was performed either after or simultaneously with extraction. The former procedure gave cleaner chromatograms but the latter turned out to be superior with respect to linearity and repeatability. For the on-fiber derivatization of amphetamine an excess of reagent is required. Because a considerable part of the PFBCl loaded on to the fiber is used up by reaction with matrix compounds and water, a reagent loading time of 5 min was needed to obtain a linear range (r = 0.9756) from 250 pg mL(-1) to 15 ng mL(-1). Due to an interfering matrix compound, the limit of detection was also found to be dependent on the reagent loading time, i.e., the limit of detection for a PFBCl loading time of 5 min is 250 pg mL(-1) whereas that for a 1 min loading time it is 100 pg mL(-1). The relative standard deviation (n = 7) of the method was about 11% at an amphetamine concentration of 1 ng mL(-1). The applicability of the method for the determination of drugs in biological samples is shown.     

顶空固相微萃取-气相色谱-质谱法同时测定饮用水源水中24种VOCs

建立了同时测定饮用水源水中24种挥发性有机物(VOCs)的顶空固相微萃取-气相色谱-质谱法.用75 μm CarboxenTM-Polydimethylsiloxane(CAR-PDMS)固相微萃取柱顶空萃取水样中的VOCs,VOCs用气相色谱-质谱联用仪检测,采用内标法定量.对萃取柱涂层、样品盐度、萃取温度和萃取时间等样品前处理条件进行了优化,VOCs的检出限在0.03～0.31 μg/L之间,线性相关系数r＞0.996(二氯甲烷和三氯甲烷除外).对饮用水源水实际水样0.50μg/L和1.00 μg/L两个加标浓度水平的回收率进行了测定,三氯甲烷回收率均值分别为104％和142％,其余VOCs回收率分别为90.0％～120％和88.0％～110％,除二氯甲烷和三氯甲烷外,其余VOCs测定结果的相对标准偏差均小于15.0％(n=6).该方法适用于饮用水源水中挥发性有机物的监测分析.     

Analysis of nucleotides directly from TLC plates using MALDI-MS detection

The natural pyrethrins, cinerin I, jasmolin I and pyrethrin I, have been hydrolyzed to chrysanthemic acid (CA) in subcritical water in the presence of basic alumina. The hydrolysis and extraction was performed in situ with subcritical water. The conversion to acid is reproducible at 200?°C and 30 min with an RSD of 19% (n = 16) at a concentration level of 1.2 × 10^–8 mol/L CA and 12% (n = 12) at concentration level of 1.2 × 10^–7 mol/L CA. An analytical method using Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) combined with GC-FID or -MSD was developed and optimized. For SPME an equilibration time of 20 min at pH of 2 was required. Three fibers, 100 μm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 85 μm polyacrylate (PA) and 65 μm carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW) were evaluated. The Carbowax/divinylbenzene fiber has the highest affinity for CA, but the capacity decreases significantly from experiment to experiment. The most reproducible and most stable one was the PDMS fiber. Two internal standards, octanoic acid and cis-chrysanthemic acid, were used because CA degrades slowly at 200?°C in water. This method was applied to analyze some products which contain pyrethrum as an active ingredient, such as insect spray, shampoo against lice, and dried chrysanthemum flowers. The results are comparable to SFC-FID data and correspond to the values given by the manufacturer.     

Highly porous silica-polyaniline nanocomposite as a novel solid-phase microextraction fiber coating

A highly porous fiber-coated SBA-15/polyaniline material was prepared for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The SBA-15/polyaniline nanocomposite was synthesized via chemical polymerization. The prepared SBA-15/polyaniline particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy analysis. The prepared nanomaterial was immobilized onto a stainless steel wire for fabrication of the SPME fiber. The fiber was evaluated for the extraction of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous sample solutions in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In optimum conditions (extraction temperature 60°C, extraction time 40 min, ionic strength 20%, stirring rate: 500 rpm, desorption temperature 260°C, desorption time 2 min), the repeatability for one fiber (n=3), expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD%), was between 5.3 and 8.6% for the test compounds. For deionized water, spiked with selected PAHs, the detection limits for the studied compounds were between 2 and 20 pg/mL.     

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.     

Disposable ionic liquid coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes in paints followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a disposable ionic liquid (IL) coating was developed for headspace extraction of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in paints. The SPME fiber was coated with IL prior to every extraction, then the analytes were extracted and desorbed on the injection port of gas chromatography, and finally the IL coating on the fiber was washed out with solvents. The coating and washing out of IL from the fiber can be finished in a few minutes. This disposable IL-coated fiber was applied to determine BTEX in water-soluble paints with results in good agreement with that obtained by using commercially available SPME fibers. For all the four studied paints samples, the benzene contents were under the detection limits, but relatively high contents of toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (56-271 microg g(-1)) were detected with spiked recoveries in the range of 70-114%. Compared to the widely used commercially available SPME fibers, this proposed disposable IL-coated fiber has much lower cost per determination, comparable reproducibility (RSD < 11%), and no carryover between each determination. Considering that IL possess good extractability for various organic compounds and metals ions, and that task-specific IL can be designed and synthesized for selective extraction of target analytes, this disposable IL coating SPME might has great potential in sample preparation.     

New micromethod combining miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion and in-tube in-valve solid-phase microextraction for estimating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in bivalves

Miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) was developed for the extraction of common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from bivalve samples (100mg, dry weight). Additional clean-up and analyte enrichment was accomplished by in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME). For this purpose the extracts collected after MSPD were diluted with water and injected into a capillary column coated with the extractive phase. This capillary column was connected to the analytical column by means of a switching valve. Separation and quantification of the PAHs were carried out using a monolithic LC column and fluorescence detection. Since the in-tube SPME device allowed the processing of large volumes of the extracts (2.0 mL) excellent sensitivity was achieved, thus making solvent evaporation operations unnecessary. The overall recoveries ranged from 10% to 28% for the studied compounds. The relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 2% to 10% for intra-day variation (n=3), and the limits of detection (LODs) were < or =0.6 ng/g (dry weight). The proposed procedure was very simple and rapid (total analysis time was approximately 20 min), and the consumption of organic solvents and extractive phases was drastically reduced. The reliability of the proposed MSPD/in-tube SPME method was tested by analysing several bivalves (mussels and tellins) as well as a standard reference material (SRM).     

Surface energy characteristics of toner particles by automated inverse gas chromatography

This study develops a method for the analysis of biocides Irgarol 1051 and Sea Nine 211 in environmental water samples, using solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Their determination was carried out using gas chromatography with flame thermionic (FTD), electron-capture (ECD) and mass spectrometric detection. The main parameters affecting the SPME process such as adsorption-time profile, salt additives and memory effect were studied for five polymeric coatings commercially available for solid-phase microextraction: poly(dimethylsiloxane) (100 and 30 microm), polyacrylate, poly(dimethylsiloxane)-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB 65 microm) and Carbowax-divinylbenzene (65 microm). The method was developed using spiked natural waters such as tap, river, sea and lake water in a concentration range of 0.5-50 microg/l. All the tested fiber coatings have been evaluated with regard to sensitivity, linear range, precision and limits of detection. Typical RSD values (triplicate analysis) in the range of 3-10% were obtained depending on the fiber coating and the compound investigated. The recoveries of biocides were in relatively high levels 60-118% and the calibration curves were reproducible and linear (R2>0.990) for both analytes. The SPME partition coefficients (Kf) of both compounds were also calculated experimentally in the proposed conditions for all fibers using direct sampling. Finally the influence of organic matter such as humic acids on extraction efficiency was studied, affecting mostly Sea Nine 211 uptake by the fiber. Optimum analytical SPME performance was achieved using the PDMS-DVB 65 microm fiber coating in ECD and FTD systems for Sea Nine 211 and Irgarol 1051, respectively.     

Application of a new fiber coating based on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide for the cold‐fiber headspace solid‐phase microextraction of tricyclic antidepressants

A new fiber based on the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide was prepared on a copper wire for solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) applications. The prepared fiber was used for the SPME and gas chromatographic analysis of tricyclic antidepressants (TCADs), including amitriptyline, trimipramine, and clomipramine. The feasibility of direct‐immersion and headspace modes of SPME for the determination of TCADs was studied. The effects of four parameters including pH, salt content, extraction temperature with and without cooling the fiber, and extraction time were investigated. The comparison showed that headspace cold fiber SPME results in the best outcome for the extraction of TCADs. Under the optimized conditions of this mode, the calibration curves were linear between 2.0 and 500 ng/mL and the detection limits were between 0.30 and 0.53 ng/mL. The intraday and interday RSDs obtained at 20 ng/mL (n = 5), using a single fiber, were 5.5–9.0 and 7.5–9.8, respectively. The fiber to fiber repeatability (n = 4), expressed as the RSD, was between 12.8 and 13.2% at a 20 ng/mL concentration level. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of TCADs in plasma samples showing recoveries from 73 to 96%.     

Preparation and application of NiTi alloy coated with ZrO(2) as a new fiber for solid-phase microextraction

In this study a NiTi alloy was applied as an SPME support due to its superelasticity and shape memory properties. This new metallic support was coated with ZrO(2) by electrodeposition using chronoamperometry. It was then evaluated for extraction of three classes of compounds from gaseous samples: alcohols, BTEX and trihalomethanes (THM). For the optimization of the parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of the target compounds, the univariate approach was used. Five fibers were electrodeposited to evaluate the reproducibility of the coating procedure, resulting in a relative standard deviation lower than 11.9%. The repeatability for one fiber (n=6) was lower than 8.5%. The detection limits were lower than 28.1, 20.8 and 0.18 microgL(-1) for alcohols, BTEX and THM, respectively, and the correlation coefficients were higher than 0.996. Taking into account the amount extracted per unit volume, the NiTi-ZrO(2) fiber showed a better extraction profile in comparison with the commercial fibers 7 microm PDMS, 85 microm PA and 30-50 microm DVB/CAR/PDMS. The new SPME fiber has a lifetime of over 300 extractions. Thus, it is a promising alternative for low-cost analysis, as it is robust, and easily and inexpensively prepared.     

Determination of amphetamine and methamphetamine in serum via headspace derivatization solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

This study evaluates solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine trace levels of amphetamine and methamphetamine in serum. Headspace post-derivatization in a laboratory-made design with heptafluorobutyric anhydride vapor following SPME was compared with that without derivatization SPME. The SPME experimental procedures to extract amphetamine and methamphetamine in serum were optimized with a relatively non-polar poly(dimethylsiloxane) coated fiber at pH 9.5, extraction time for 40 min and desorption at 260 degrees C for 2 min. Experimental results indicate that the concentration of the serum matrix diluted to a quarter of original (1:3) ratio by using one volume of buffer solution of boric acid mixed with sodium hydroxide and two volumes of water improves the extraction efficiency. Headspace derivatization following SPME was performed by using 6 microl 20% (v/v) heptafluorobutyric anhydride ethyl acetate solution at an oil bath temperature of 270 degrees C for 10 s. The precision was below 7% for analysis for without derivatization and below 17% for headspace derivatization. Detection limits were obtained at the ng/l level, one order better obtained in headspace derivatization than those achieved without derivatization. The feasibility of applying the methods to determine amphetamine and methamphetamine in real samples was examined by analyzing serum samples from methamphetamine abused suspects. Concentrations of the amphetamine and methamphetamine ranged from 6.0 microg/l (amphetamine) to 77 microg/l (methamphetamine) in serum.     

Elucidating the sorption mechanism of “mixed-mode” SPME using the basic drug amphetamine as a model compound

We studied the sorption of amphetamine as a model drug to represent small, polar organic cations to a new SPME coating combining C18 and propylsulfonic acid. This combination of hydrophobic and strong cation exchange (SCX) groups was compared to conventional SPME fibers with polyacrylate (PA) or C18 coating. The affinity of amphetamine at physiological pH (PBS) was 20 to 180 times greater for the new C18/SCX coating than for C18 alone and PA of different coating thickness. As amphetamine is a base and >99% protonated at physiological pH, this enhanced affinity is attributed to the ion-exchange phase in the coating. Tests at pH above the pK_a of amphetamine show that, when normalized to the coating volume, neutral amphetamine also has a higher affinity compared to PA. As ion-exchange groups are not unlimitedly present in the coating, amphetamine isotherms level off to a saturation concentration on the C18/SCX fiber at the highest tested aqueous concentrations. Also, other cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺) compete for the SCX sites and decrease the sorption coefficients, e.g. by 1.7 log units when comparing Milli-Q water with PBS. The C18/SCX fiber provides improved sensitivity over some of the classic SPME fibers. However, care should be taken near the cation exchange capacity of the fiber and the fiber should be calibrated in an appropriate matrix so as to eliminate competition effects.
