Solid-phase microextraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography: a complementary technique to solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography for the analysis of pesticide residues in strawberries.

Abstract

Solid-phase microextraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography has been studied for the analysis of methiocarb, napropamide, fenoxycarb and bupirimate in strawberries. The strawberries were blended and centrifuged. Then, an aliquot of the resulting extracting solution was subjected to solid-phase microextraction (SPME) on a 60 microns polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fibre for 45 min at room temperature. The extracted pesticides on the SPME fibre were desorbed into SPME/high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) interface for HPLC analysis with diode-array detection (DAD). The method is organic solvent-free for the whole extraction process and is simple and easy to manipulate. The detection limits were shown to be at low microgram kg-1 level and the linear response covered the range from 0.05 to 2 mg kg-1 of pesticides in strawberries with a regression coefficient larger than 0.99. A good repeatability with RSDs between 2.92 and 9.25% was obtained, depending on compounds.

Sol-gel immobilization of serine proteases for application in organic solvents.

The serine proteases alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, and subtilisin Carlsberg were immobilized in a sol-gel matrix and the effects on the enzyme activity in organic media are evaluated. The percentage of immobilized enzyme is 90% in the case of alpha-chymotrypsin and the resulting specific enzyme activity in the transesterification of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine ethyl ester with 1-propanol in cyclohexane is 43 times higher than that of a nonimmobilized lyophilized alpha-chymotrypsin. The activities of trypsin and subtilisin Carlsberg are enhanced with 437 and 31 times, respectively. The effect of immobilization on the enzyme activity is highest in hydrophobic solvents.

Liquid crystalline polysiloxane polymer as stationary phase in gas chromatography capillary column for the separation of dioxin/furan compounds.

A side-chain liquid crystalline polysiloxane polymer (PS3DBDE1) with high purity and high isotropic transition temperature served as a stationary phase in an attempt to chromatographize the dioxin/furan compounds. The polymer was coated on the inner surface of a 0.25 mm I.D. capillary column by using the static coating method, forming a film with a thickness of df approximately 0.25 microm. A commercial standard solution (US EPA 1613 standard solution 1613CS4) containing polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) was used to test the chromatographic behavior of the laboratory-made capillary column. Two commercial capillary columns HP-5MS (Hewlett-Packard) and RTX-5MS (RTX) were chosen to compare their chromatographic behavior. The results show that by the use of PS3DBDE1 the isomeric pair compounds 1,2,3,4-TeCDD vs. 2,3,7,8-TeCDD and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD vs. 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDD and the same substituted-chlorine number compounds 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF vs. 1,2.3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDD vs. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDF had higher resolution than HP-5MS and RTX-5MS as suggested by the column makers.

Selectivity assessment of DB-200 and DB-VRX open-tubular capillary columns.

The solvation parameter model is used to study the influence of composition and temperature on the selectivity of two poly(siloxane) stationary phases used for open-tubular capillary column gas chromatography. The poly(methyltrifluoropropyldimethylsiloxane) stationary phase, DB-200, has low cohesion, intermediate dipolarity/polarizability, low hydrogen-bond basicity, no hydrogen-bond acidity, and repulsive electron lone pair interactions. The DB-VRX stationary phase has low cohesion, low dipolarity/polarizability, low hydrogen-bond basicity and no hydrogen-bond acidity and no capacity for electron lone pair interactions. The selectivity of the two stationary phases is complementary to those in a database of 11 stationary phase chemistries determined under the same experimental conditions.
