Enantioseparation of vesamicol in human serum by capillary electrophoresis with solid phase extraction and sulfated-beta-cyclodextrin.

An enantioseparation of racemic vesamicol in human serum by capillary electrophoresis with solid phase extraction and sulfated B-cyclodextrin (S-B-CD) is presented The separation was achieved on an uncoated 72 cm x 50 microm id fused silica capillary maintained at 30 degrees C and + 15 kV applied voltage using a run buffer of 128 micro-B-CD in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 5. The detection wavelength was 260 nm. Bond Elut C18 solid phase extraction cartridges were used in the sample preparation of the vesamicol samples from serum. Among the CDs studied, the migration order of the enantiomers was reversed in CM-B-CD compared to S-B-CD. Increases in migration time and differences in time between enantiomers was observed with increasing concentrations of S-B-CD. Baseline separation was achieved in the 2-20 microg/ml range of enantiomer concentration (r > .996). A sample stacking technique was used to improve peak shape and LOD. LODs were 0.5 microg/ml for each enantiomer. Studies of various factors and CE conditions showed the effect of CD type, CD concentration, buffer type, buffer concentration and pH on stability and resolution.

Determination of melengestrol acetate in supercritical fluid-solid phase extracts of bovine fat tissue by HPLC-UV and GC-MS.

A method is developed for the determination of melengestrol acetate in bovine fat tissue at or less than the established tolerance level of 25 ppb. The procedure uses a combination of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques to produce an extract suitable for analysis with either high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Overall recovery of the analyte from bovine fat tissue is 99.4% with a coefficient of variation of 4.14%. The SFE-SPE procedure uses a total of 12 mL of organic solvent per fat tissue sample versus more than 1.7 L consumed in current extraction procedures.

Solid-phase extraction and purification for the quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites in fish bile.

An analytical protocol including solid-phase extraction and purification is described for the individual quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites (hydroxylated PAHs) in liquid biological matrices such as plasma and bile. The method consists in an enzymatic deconjugation followed by a solid-phase extraction on a C18 cartridge and by a cleanup on an NH2 cartridge. Extracts are then submitted to a derivatization step before gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The quantification of PAH metabolites is ensured by adding an internal standard, 1-hydroxypyrene deuterated, at the beginning of the protocol. Recoveries obtained for the entire protocol were for the major part of the compounds between 96 and 70%. However, recoveries were not so satisfying concerning 2-hydroxybiphenyl and especially 3-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene, with 62 and 36% respectively. Finally, the protocol was applied to different fish bile samples and showed its good applicability to fish bile samples. The NH2 cleanup step has been proved to be a very selective purification step, necessary to remove most of the bile pigments before GC/MS injection. Different PAH metabolites could be detected in those natural samples and their quantification allowed us to distinguish different levels of fish exposure.

Solid-phase extraction of technetium--amine complexes onto C18 silica and its application to the isolation of 99Tc

The extraction of Tc-tripentylamine complexes onto C18 silica solid-phase extraction columns is evaluated for the selective removal of 99Tc from other isotopes. The Tc-amine complex is quantitatively extracted from sulfuric acid and can be recovered from the column by elution with dilute alkali. A clean separation of Tc from all likely contaminants, including Ru, is achieved showing that C18 silica solid-phase extraction columns are a viable and attractive alternative to the solvent extraction of 99Tc.

A sensitive and selective LC-MS-MS method for simultaneous determination of picroside-I and kutkoside (active principles of herbal preparation picroliv) using solid phase extraction in rabbit plasma: application to pharmacokinetic study.

A rapid, sensitive and selective LC-MS-MS method for the simultaneous quantitation of picroside-I and kutkoside (active constituents of herbal hepatoprotectant picroliv) was developed and validated in rabbit plasma. The analytes and internal standard (Amarogentin) were extracted using Oasis HLB solid phase extraction cartridges. Analysis was performed on Spheri RP-18 column (10 microm, 100 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.) coupled with guard column using acetonitrile:MilliQ water (50:50, %v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with a retention time of 1.39, 1.33 and 1.42 min for picroside-I, kutkoside and amarogentin, respectively. The quantitation was carried out using an API-4000 LC-MS-MS with negative electro spray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The precursor to product ion transitions for picroside-I, kutkoside and amarogentin were m/z 491 > 147, 199; 511 > 167, 235; 585 > 227, respectively. The method was validated in terms of establishing linearity, specificity, sensitivity, recovery, accuracy and precision (within- and between-assay variation), freeze-thaw (f-t), auto injector and dry residue stability. Linearity in plasma was observed over a concentration range of 1.56-400 ng/ml with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 ng/ml for both analytes. The recoveries from spiked control samples were > 60 and > 70% for picroside-I and kutkoside, respectively. Accuracy and precision of the validated method were within the acceptable limits of < 20% at low and < 15% at other concentrations. The analytes were stable after three freeze-thaw cycles and their dry residues were stable at -60 degrees C for 15 days. The method was successfully applied to determine concentrations of picroside-I and kutkoside post i.v. bolus administration of picroliv in rabbit.

Automated 96-well solid phase extraction and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method for the analysis of cetirizine (ZYRTEC) in human plasma--with emphasis on method ruggedness.

A high-throughput bioanalytical method based on automated sample transfer, automated solid phase extraction, and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) analysis, has been developed for the determination of cetirizine, a selective H(1)-receptor antagonist. Deuterated cetirizine (cetirizine-d(8)) was synthesized as described and was used as the internal standard. Samples were transferred into 96-well plates using an automated sample handling system. Automated solid phase extraction was carried out using a 96-channel programmable liquid-handling workstation. Solid phase extraction 96-well plate on polymer sorbent (Strata X) was used to extract the analyte. The extracted samples were injected onto a Betasil silica column (50 x 3, 5 microm) using a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-acetic acid-trifluroacetic acid (93:7:1:0.025, v/v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The chromatographic run time is 2.0 min per injection, with retention time of cetirizine and cetirizine-d(8) both at 1.1 min. The system consisted of a Shimadzu HPLC system and a PE Sciex API 3000 or API 4000 tandem mass spectrometer with (+) ESI. The method has been validated over the concentration range of 1.00-1000 ng/ml cetirizine in human plasma, based on a 0.10-ml sample size. The inter-day precision and accuracy of the quality control (QC) samples demonstrated <3.0% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) and <6.0% relative error (RE). Stability of cetirizine in stock solution, in plasma, and in reconstitution solution was established. The absolute extraction recovery was 85.8%, 84.5%, and 88.0% at 3, 40, and 800 ng/ml, respectively. The recovery for the internal standard was 84.1%. No adverse matrix effects were noticed for this assay. The automation of the sample preparation steps not only increased the analysis throughput, but also increased method ruggedness. The use of a stable isotope-labeled internal standard further improved the method ruggedness. Practical issues of analyzing incurred samples were discussed. This HILIC-MS/MS method for analysis of citirizine in human plasma was successfully used to support clinical studies.

Determination of melatonin in human plasma with solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection.

A new bioanalytical method for the determination of melatonin in plasma with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and fluorescence detection preceded by solid-phase extraction has been developed and validated. Melatonin was extracted from 3 mL plasma using a Waters Oasis HLB solid-phase extraction cartridge and the elute was evaporated to dryness and dissolved in 200 microl mobile phase; acetonitrile-phosphate buffer, 0.01 M pH 7.2 (25:75, v/v). 125 microL was injected into the HPLC system and separation was carried out on a Waters SymmetryShield RP18 column 5 microm (250 x 4.6 mm). Excitation and emission wavelengths were set to 285 nm and 345 nm, respectively. The HPLC system was able to separate melatonin and internal standard (5-fluorotryptamine) from other endogenous indole compounds such as serotonin and tryptophan. Determination down to 0.10 nmol/L was possible, with an intra-assay precision of about 13%. Melatonin was stable in plasma for at least 30 days at about 23 degrees C.

On-line solid-phase extraction coupled to supercritical fluid chromatography to determine phenol and nitrophenols in water.

Determining of phenol and nitrophenols using solid-phase extraction on-line coupled to supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is studied. SFC quickly separated the compounds studied, in less than 6 min, and solid-phase extraction was used to decrease the limits of detection. C18, PLRP-S and a highly cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer in a 10 x 3 mm I.D. laboratory-packed precolumn were tested comparatively as sorbents in the preconcentration step. Tetrabutylammonium bromide was used as ion-pair reagent in the extraction process to increase breakthrough volumes, mainly for phenol. Performance of the method was checked with tap and river waters.

Semi-micro solid-phase extraction of organic compounds from aqueous and biological samples.

A technique is described for performing solid-phase extractions on a semi-micro scale. Thin membrane disks 4 mm in diameter containing lightly sulfonated polystyrene or Silicalite particles are placed in the hub of a syringe needle. Aqueous samples (1-6 ml) are passed through the membrane disks and extracted compounds are subsequently eluted with 20-50 microliters of an organic solvent. Unlike solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) which uses a coated fiber, the present method is essentially a total extraction technique. Recoveries > 90% were generally obtained for a wide variety of test compounds. The same test compounds in human urine, albumin and human serum samples can be extracted without any pretreatment other than addition of a suitable surfactant. A "double-pass" technique was developed for convenient field sampling.

On-line solid-phase extraction with molecularly imprinted polymers to selectively extract substituted 4-chlorophenols and 4-nitrophenol from water.

Three polymers have been synthesised using 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as the template, following different protocols (non-covalent and semi-covalent) and using different functional co-monomers, 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) and methacrylic acid (MAA). The polymers were evaluated to check their selectivity as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled on-line to liquid chromatography. The solid-phase extraction procedure using MIPs (MISPE), including the clean-up step to remove any interferences, was optimised. The 4-VP non-covalent polymer was the only one which showed a clear imprint effect. This MIP also showed cross-reactivity for the 4-chloro-substituted phenols and for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) from a mixture containing the 11 priority EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) phenolic compounds and 4-chlorophenol. The MIP was applied to selectively extract the 4-chloro-substituted compounds and 4-NP from river water samples.

Determination of clenbuterol in bovine liver by combining matrix solid-phase dispersion and molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ion trap multiple-stage mass spectrometry.

Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) is a new sample pretreatment for solid samples. This technique greatly simplifies sample pretreatment but, nonetheless, the extracts often still require an extra cleanup step that is both laborious and time-consuming. The potential of combining MSPD with molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) was investigated in this study. Liver samples were ground in a mortar with C18 sorbent and the homogenized mixture packed into an SPE cartridge and placed on top of a MISPE cartridge. Subsequently, clenbuterol was eluted from the MSPD cartridge onto the MISPE cartridge using acetonitrile containing 1% acetic acid. The ability of the molecularly imprinted polymer to selectively adsorb analyte in acetonitrile was exploited for re-extracting clenbuterol directly from this acetonitrile extract via the double cartridge tandem system. The analyte was eluted from the MISPE cartridge using acidified methanol. A clear eluate was obtained, which was subsequently evaporated, redissolved, and analyzed by HPLC electrochemical detection (ECD) or ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/IT-MS). The MISPE cartridge used in this study was imprinted using bromoclenbuterol, a structural analogue of clenbuterol, as the template. These MISPE cartridges showed excellent stability. The complete extraction procedure was rapid, and recoveries exceeded 90% for the target analyte. The method detection limit for the LC/IT-MS procedure was < 0.1 microg/kg. This method, therefore, satisfies the stringent requirements of European Union regulation EEC 2377/90.

Determination of tocopherol acetate in emulsified nutritional supplements by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

The present paper deals with a method of solid-phase extraction of tocopherol acetate (TA, 49.6 microg/g) from emulsified nutritional supplements, which contains 50 kinds of compounds, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection The TA concentration is 5 to approximately 100,000 times lower than that of other compounds in the samples. Measuring the loading capacity of the larger amounts of vegetable oil onto the Bond Elut C18 cartridge was examined for the complete retention of smaller level of TA. A sample solution was applied to a solid-phase extraction cartridge and then TA was eluted by acetonitrile followed by HPLC. This method was suitable for the determination of TA in emulsified nutritional supplements. The proposed method was simple, rapid (analysis time: ca. 15 min), sensitive [detection limit: ca. 0.1 ng per injection (100 microl) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1], and reproducible (relative standard deviation: ca. 2.5% (n=5)). The calibration graph of TA was linear in the range of 0.1 to 100 ng per injection (100 microl). Recovery of TA was over 90% by the standard addition method.

Extraction of alkyl methylphosphonic acids from aqueous samples using a conventional polymeric solid-phase extraction sorbent and a molecularly imprinted polymer.

The analysis of alkyl methylphosphonic acids (AMPAs) constitutes an important subject for verifying the compliance to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Indeed, alkyl methylphosphonic acids are the degradation products of V and G nerve agents such as VX, sarin or soman. Lowering the limits of detection of analytical methods for complex aqueous matrices implies the introduction of concentration and clean-up steps in the whole analytical process. Therefore a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) has been previously developed for the selective extraction and the concentration of the alkyl methylphosphonic acids. Unfortunately, the selective retention process on this MIP has involved the development of hydrogen bonds and so does not allow the direct percolation of aqueous samples. A change of solvent is then necessary and can be performed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with conventional non selective hydrophobic sorbents. Two polymeric sorbents, Oasis HLB and HR-P resins, were selected for their high specific surface area. The extraction recoveries obtained on both sorbents were compared and the Oasis HLB sorbent was further selected and used for the percolation of acidified aqueous samples. An optimised SPE procedure was then applied to concentrate an aqueous soil extract spiked with isobutyl methylphosphonic acid (iBMPA) and cyclopentyl methylphosphonic acid (cPMPA) that was further cleaned-up by passing through the MIP. The resulting LC-MS full scan chromatograms highlight the clean-up effect of the SPE-MIP association by the removal of the matrix substances and the preservation of 95% of the compounds of interest.

Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography determination of +S and -R arotinolol in serum using UV detection and solid phase extraction.

A method for the simultaneous determination of +S and -R arotinolol in serum by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography is described. Stereoselective resolution of the arotinolol enantiomers was achieved using 5 mM sodium taurocholate in 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer of pH 2.5. A 72-cm uncoated fused-silica capillary at a constant voltage of 15 kV was used for the analysis. The analytes of interest were extracted from serum using solid phase extraction. An octadecyl cartridge gave good recoveries in excess of 87% for both +S and -R arotinolol without any interference. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 50-500 ng ml(-1) with +S propranolol as the internal standard and the coefficient of determination was greater than 0.999 (n = 3). The limit of quantitation was 50 ng ml(-1) for each enantiomer and the detection limit using 1 ml serum and a UV detection set et 220 nm was 25 ng ml(-1) (S/N = 2). Precision and accuracy of the method were in the range 0.8-2.7% and 1.2-6.4%, respectively, for +S arotinolol and 1.1-3.9% and 2.2-6.5%, respectively, for -R arotinolol.

Determination of ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin in sewage by selective solid-phase extraction, liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, and liquid chromatography--tandem mass spectrometry.

A solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for the determination of selected fluoroquinolone (FQ) drugs including ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin in municipal wastewater samples. Extraction of the FQs was carried out with a weak cation exchanger SPE cartridge, the Oasis WCX. The cartridge was washed with water and methanol as a cleanup before the FQs were eluted by a mixture of methanol, acetonitrile, and formic acid. Separation of the FQs was achieved by using a Zorbax SB-C8 column under isocratic condition at a flow rate of 0.2mL/min. Recoveries of the FQs in spiked final effluent samples were between 87 and 94% with a relative standard deviation of less than 6%. Several techniques have been evaluated for the detection of FQs in sewage extracts; they included fluorescence detection and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry using either mass-selective detection or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). When they were applied to sewage influent and effluent samples, the LC-MS/MS technique operating in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode proved to be best suited for the determination of FQs in sewage samples as it provided the highest sensitivity (limit of quantification 5ng/L) and selectivity. The observation of signal suppression (matrix effect) for some FQs in ESI LC-MS and LC-MS/MS is discussed and a solution is proposed. The three FQs were detected in all the sewage samples tested in this work, with median concentrations between 34 and 251ng/L.

Automated solid-phase extraction coupled to gas chromatography with electron-capture detection: a combination of extraction and clean-up of pyrethroids in the analysis of surface water.

The combination of automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) and large-volume introduction gas chromatography electron-capture detection (GC-ECD) is used for the determination of synthetic pyrethroids in surface and drinking water. The selectivity that is needed for the use of GC-ECD of environmental samples is achieved by addition of a polarity modifier to the sample. In this study, sufficient methanol was added to 19 ml of sample to obtain a level of 30% of modifier prior to SPE. The cartridge is washed with one additional ml of 30% methanol in water. After drying, the cartridge is eluted with toluene. GC-ECD analysis is performed by on-column introduction of 100 microliters of the toluene extract. The whole procedure was automated by using an automated solid-phase extraction apparatus. Limits of detection (LODs) for the pyrethroids in surface water are in the range of 1 to 8 ng/1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3); even lower limits of detection are possible for drinking water.
