Automated at-line solid-phase extraction-gas chromatographic analysis of micropollutants in water using the PrepStation

A fully automated at-line solid-phase extraction-gas chromatography procedure has been developed for the analysis of aqueous samples using the PrepStation. The sample extract is transferred from the sample preparation module to the gas chromatograph via an autosampler vial. With flame-ionization detection, limits of determination (S/N=10) of 0.05–0.13 μg/l were obtained for the analysis of HPLC-grade water when modifying the PrepStation by: (i) increasing the sample volume to 50 ml, (ii) increasing the injection volume up to 50 μl, and (iii) decreasing the desorption volume to 300 μl. The HP autosampler had to be modified to enable the automated “at-once” on-column injection of up to 50 μl of sample extract. The amount of packing material in the original cartridge had to be reduced to effect the decrease of the desorption volume. The total set-up did not require any further optimization after having set up the method once. The analytical characteristics of the organonitrogen and organophosphorus test analytes, i.e. recoveries (typically 75–105%), repeatability (2–8%) and linearity (0.09–3.0 μg/l) were satisfactory. The potential of the system was demonstrated by determining triazines and organophosphorus pesticides in river Rhine water at the 0.6 μg/l level using flame-ionization and mass-selective detection. No practical problems were observed during the analysis of more than 100 river water samples.

橙汁中多菌灵农药残留吸收光谱特征研究

利用分光光度计,通过对多菌灵及橙汁-多菌灵混合体系的紫外-可见吸收光谱进行研究,得到橙汁中不同农药含量下的吸收光谱特征,分析了吸光度与多菌灵农药含量的关系。研究表明:多菌灵药液在285nm处有较强的特征吸收峰。通过向橙汁中逐量添加0.28mg·mL-1多菌灵标准溶液,与纯多菌灵药液吸收光谱比较,发现峰值位置出现了小幅度蓝移(285~280nm),说明橙汁和多菌灵发生了相互作用,通过对280nm波长处的吸光度与多菌灵药液含量进行最小二乘法线性拟合,建立了橙汁中吸光度与多菌灵农药含量之间的预测模型,发现吸光度与多菌灵药剂含量具有很好的线性关系,其线性函数模型为:I=2.41+9.26x,相关系数为0.996,回收率在81%~102%之间。根据该回归模型,可以得到橙汁中多菌灵农药残留量的准确值,从而验证了利用紫外-可见吸收光谱测定橙汁中多菌灵残留量的方法的可行性。研究表明,利用光谱技术直接对果汁中农药残留检测方法是可行的,能够满足快速分析的需要,本研究为农药残留检测提供了新的途径。     

Multiresidue determination of 160 pesticides in wines employing mixed-mode dispersive-solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A new multiresidue method for the efficient screening, identification and quantification of over 160 pesticides belonging to different chemical classes in red, rose and white wines have been developed. The analysis was based on gas chromatographic-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometric determination (GC-QqQ-MS/MS). An optimization strategy involved the selection of buffering conditions and sorbents for dispersive-solid phase extraction (dispersive-SPE) in order to achieve acceptably high recoveries and reduce co-extractives in the final extracts. As a result, the optimized procedure allowed us to obtain consistent recoveries of the target pesticides including problematic ones such as captan, chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, folpet and tolylfluanid. The attained recoveries were typically between 80 and 110% (89% on average) with RSD values typically lower than 10% (8% on average) at three spiking levels of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2 mg kg⁻¹. Linearity was studied in the range between 0.005 and 0.2 mg kg⁻¹ using pesticide standards prepared both in pure solvent and in the presence of matrix, showing coefficients of determination (R²) higher than 0.99 for all the pesticides except for desmedipham, thiabendazole and thiamethoxam in pure solvent. The study of the ratio of the slopes obtained in solvent and in matrix provided information about the matrix effects, which was <10%, 10-20% and >20% for 33, 36 and 31% of the studied pesticides, respectively. To improve accuracy, matrix matched standards were always used for calculation of the quantification results. The expanded uncertainties were estimated by using a “top-down” approach as being 17% on average (coverage factor k = 2, confidence level 95%). Finally, the method was used with success to detect and quantify pesticide residues in commercial wines.

Cholinesterase sensors based on screen-printed electrodes for detection of organophosphorus and carbamic pesticides

Cholinesterase sensors based on screen-printed electrodes modified with polyaniline, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), and Prussian blue have been developed and tested for detection of anticholinesterase pesticides in aqueous solution and in spiked grape juice. The influence of enzyme source and detection mode on biosensor performance was explored. It was shown that modification of the electrodes results in significant improvement of their analytical characteristics for pesticide determination. Thus, the slopes of the calibration curves obtained with modified electrodes were increased twofold and the detection limits of the pesticides were reduced by factors of 1.6 to 1.8 in comparison with the use of unmodified transducers. The biosensors developed make it possible to detect down to 2×10^–8 mol L^–1 chloropyrifos-methyl, 5×10^–8 mol L^–1 coumaphos, and 8×10^–9 mol L^–1 carbofuran in aqueous solution and grape juice. The optimal conditions for grape juice pretreatment were determined to diminish interference from the sample matrix.Abbreviations ChE Cholinesterase - TCNQ 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane - ChO Choline oxidase - AChE Acetylcholinesterase - BChE Butyrylcholinesterase - BSA Bovine serum albumin - 2-PAM 2-Pyridine aldoxime methiodide

Identification/quantification of multiple pesticide residues in food plants by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry

In this study, the potential of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with the time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC–TOF MS) to enable rapid and comprehensive analysis of 212 pesticide residues in QuEChERS extracts obtained from four plant matrices has been investigated. Method optimization is discussed in detail. In addition to molecular adducts, also fragment ions were provided for all target pesticides, thus obtaining at least three identification points required by European Decision 2002/657/EC was achieved. To get maximum information on analytes present in the extracts, each sample was examined within two injections, the first in a positive and the next one in a negative ionization mode. Under UHPLC conditions, both analyses were completed within 24 min. For more than 96% of pesticides involved in this study, the limit of quantification was ≤10 μg/kg. As a part of the work, strategy enabling screening of non-target pesticides and their metabolites is demonstrated on analysis of real-life samples.
