Separation and detection of compounds in Honeysuckle by integration of ion-exchange chromatography fractionation with reversed-phase liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometer and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis.

A hyphenated method for the isolation and identification of components in a traditional Chinese medicine of Honeysuckle was developed. Ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) was chosen for the fractionation of Honeysuckle extract, and then followed by concentration of all the fractions with rotary vacuum evaporator. Each of the enriched fractions was then further analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometer (RPLC-APCI/MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) with matrix of oxidized carbon nanotubes, respectively. It can be noted totally more than 117 components were detected by UV detector, APCI/MS and MALDI-TOF/MS in Honeysuckle extract except the 145 components identified by MALDI-TOF/MS alone with this integrated approach, and 7 of them were preliminary identified according to their UV spectra and mass spectra performed by APCI/MS and MALDI-TOF/MS, respectively. The obtained analytical results not only indicated the approach of integration IEC fractionation with RPLC-APCI/MS and MALDI-TOF/MS is capable of analyzing complex samples, but also exhibited the potential power of the mass spectrometer in detection of low-mass compounds, such as traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and complex biological samples.

Monitoring of priority pesticides and other organic pollutants in river water from portugal by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry.

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) were optimized and applied for the trace-level determination of 42 priority pesticides and 33 priority organic pollutants from European Union Directive EC 76/464. First, off-line solid-phase extraction of 200 ml of river water using an OASIS solid-phase extraction cartridge, followed by GC-MS was used. Next, selected samples that were positive to GC-MS were analyzed by LC-APCI-MS in order to detect further polar byproducts or to improve the determination of previously detected polar analytes. The transformation products of triazine pesticides like deethylatrazine (DEA) and deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and compounds such as diuron and several chlorophenols were positively identified by LC-APCI-MS. The present methodology has also been used for searching for new analytes not included in the EC 76/464 list, like Irgarol, DEA and DIA. In addition it was applied to target pollutants in 43 river water samples from Portugal during a pilot survey from April to July 1999. Atrazine followed by simazine and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were the most ubiquitous compounds detected in this area. The levels detected of the different compounds were in the range of: 0.01-2.73 microg/l, 0.05-0.74 microg/l, 0.02-1.65 microg/l, 0.02-5.43 microg/l, 0.01-0.40 microg/l, 0.01-0.26 microg/l, 0.02-0.61 microg/l, 0.01-3.90 microg/l, 0.01-1.24 microg/l, 0.02-2.3 microg/l, 0.01-0.13 microg/l and 0.01-0.5 microg/l for atrazine, simazine, terbuthylazine, alachlor, metolachlor, Irgarol, propanil; tributhylphosphate, diuron, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, deisopropylatrazine and deethylatrazine, respectively.

Analysis of phenols in pyrolysis oils by gel permeation chromatography and multidimensional liquid chromatography.

A simple method with minimal manual sample preparation was developed for the analysis of phenols in pyrolysis oils. Sample pre-treatment was done by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), where the high-molecular-mass lignins were separated from the phenols. Multidimensional liquid chromatography (LC-LC) was used in the analysis of the phenolic fraction. The pre-column was used for sample clean-up and pre-fractionation before introduction of the phenolic fraction to the analytical column. The repeatability and linearity of the total GPC and LC-LC methods were excellent. The results were in accordance with the reference method in which the sample pre-treatment was done by precipitating the lignins with water, and the phenols were extracted with toluene and analysed by GC-MS.

Use of ion-exchange chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography in the preparation and recovery of polyethylene glycol-linked proteins.

Cation- and anion-exchange chromatography can be used to purify a polyethylene glycol-linked protein dimer (PEG dimer) made with M, 20 000 PEG bis-vinylsulfone, even when there are no net charge differences between the components that are being separated. The retention time on ion-exchange generally is inversely proportional to the PEG:protein ratio (on a mass basis). One of the biggest challenges in developing the process for making this PEG dimer was the quality of the PEG linker. Reversed-phase HPLC can be used to determine both size heterogeneity and the degree of end-group activation of Mr 20 000 PEG bis-vinylsulfone. In addition, we have found that hydrophobic interaction chromatography can be used make more size homogeneous preparations of Mr 20000 PEG bis-vinylsulfone, which significantly increased the recovery of the PEG dimer.

Studies on monoterpene glucosides and related natural products. XXXI. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of iridoid and secoiridoid glucosides.

A total of 33 iridoid and secoiridoid glucosides were detected by gas chromatography on several columns such as OV-1 or OV-17. Representative glucosides were then subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, giving some characteristic peaks that permitted the discrimination of both types of glucosides from other compounds in most instances. The successful detection of both types of glucosides in several plant extracts showed the applicability of this combination of methods to small amounts of plant materials.

Comparison of high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography for the analysis of ecdysteroids.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet absorption detection, and gas chromatography (GC) with an electron-capture detector have been compared for their convenience in the analysis of ecdysteroids in invertebrate tissues. Analysis by HPLC on reversed-phase materials, including C18, C22 and CN bonded phases, was explored for the separation of both polar ecdysteroids and some of their possible biosynthetic intermediates of lower polarity. The HPLC method was found to be rapid and easy to use, but less sensitive than GC with electron-capture detection. The greater sensitivity and selectivity of GC was found to be important for the more difficult analyses.

Determination of pentachlorophenol and related compounds in animal materials by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography.

The rapid determination of pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenols in animal materials by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on porous silica is described. Non-fatty substrates are digested in alkali and the chlorophenols extracted as ion pairs. Fatty materials are extracted with ethyl acetate-hexane after acidification. Extracts are cleaned up on "Sep-Pak" silica or Florisil cartridges. Penta- and tetrachloroanisoles are recovered by the extraction procedures and can be determined by gas chromatography if required. Mean recoveries of the chlorophenols were 73-108% at fortification levels of 0.1-10 mg/kg. A concentration of 0.1 mg/kg can readily be determined and the method can be adapted to reach about 1 microgram/kg. Identities can be confirmed by ion-pair HPLC on a reversed-phase column.

Fluorogenic labeling of organophosphate pesticides with dansyl chloride. Application to residue analysis by high-pressure liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography.

The analysis of some organophosphorus pesticides by fluorogenic labeling with dansyl chloride (5-dimethylaminonaphthalene--l-sulfonyl chloride) was investigated. The pesticides were hydrolysed in sodium hydroxide to the corresponding phenols. The reaction of dansyl chloride with the phenols was accomplished in a two-phase system. The resulting fluorescent derivatives were separated and analysed quantitatively by in situ thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). As little as 10-25 ng/spot of pesticide was detected by both TLC and HPLC.

[Determination of ketoprofen in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography. Comparison with gas--liquid chromatography (author's transl)].

A new method of determination of ketoprofen 2-(3-benzoyl phenyl) propionic acid in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. After extraction by diethyl either in acidic medium, ketoprofen and the internal standard, 2-(4-benzoyl phenyl) butyric acid, are methylated with gaseous diazomethane and their concentrations measured by HPLC using in LiChrosorb Si 60 (5 micrometer) column and dichloromethane-hexane (60:40) as the mobile phase. The absolute retention times of the internal standard and ketoprofen are 11.6 and 12.8 min, respectively. The precision of the methods is +/- 4% and the lower detection limit ranges from 0.06 to 0.10 microgram/ml. The results obtained by HPLC show a very good correlation with those obtained by gas--liquid chromatography. The proposed method is sensitive, reproducible and rapid and very suitable for ketoprofen determination in pharmacokinetic studies.

Comparison of packed column and capillary column supercritical fluid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography using representative herbicides and pesticides as typical moderate polarity and molecular weight range molecules.

The role of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) as a viable technique for analyzing agricultural products has been investigated using packed and capillary column methodology. The goal was to question the strengths and weaknesses of each of the techniques as possible approaches to separation strategies for thermally labile compounds as compared to the currently used high-performance liquid chromatography methodology. Representative herbicides have been examined with the techniques to compare such factors as linearity of response, limit of detection and reproducibility. In the literature so far, a direct numerical comparison of these three techniques for the analysis of real samples has not been presented. Results indicate that faster analyses, lower detection limits and greater injection to injection reproducibility are obtainable with packed column SFC. No appreciable difference in the linearity of response between the three techniques was noted. It has been well documented that the capillary SFC affords greater efficiencies and higher resolution [H. E. Schwartz, LC.GC, Mag. Liq. Gas Chromatogr., 5 (1987) 14]. Capillary SFC can also be interfaced to a variety of detectors not as easily accomplished with packed column SFC. Capillary SFC therefore still has a viable position in the analysis of low and moderate molecular weight and polarity molecules.

Analysis of steryl esters in cocoa butter by on-line liquid chromatography-gas chromatography.

On-line liquid chromatography-gas chromatography (LC-GC) has been applied to the analysis of steryl esters in cocoa butter. Separation of the steryl esters was achieved after on-line transfer to capillary GC. HPLC removes the large amount of triglycerides and pre-separates the components of interest, thus avoiding time-consuming sample preparation prior to GC analysis. The identities of the compounds were confirmed by GC-MS investigation of the collected HPLC fraction and by comparison of the mass spectra (chemical ionization using ammonia as ionization gas) to those of synthesized reference compounds. Using cholesteryl laurate as internal standard, steryl esters were quantified in commercial cocoa butter samples, the detection limit being 3 mg/kg and the quantification limit 10 mg/kg, respectively. Only slight differences in percentage distributions of steryl esters depending on the geographical origin of the material were observed. The patterns were shown to remain unchanged after deodorization. The method described might be a valuable tool for authenticity assessment of cocoa butter.

Gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography of natural steroids.

This review article underlines the importance of gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and their hyphenated techniques using mass spectrometry (MS) for the determination of natural steroids, especially in human biological fluids. Steroids are divided into eight categories based on their structures and functions, and recent references using the above methodologies for the analysis of these steroids are cited. GC and GC-MS are commonly used for the determination of volatile steroids. Although HPLC is a widely used analytical method for the determination of steroids including the conjugated type in biological fluids, LC-MS is considered to be the most promising one for this purpose because of its sensitivity, specificity and versatility.

Pressurised hot water extraction coupled on-line with liquid chromatography-gas chromatography for the determination of brominated flame retardants in sediment samples.

Pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) was coupled on-line with liquid chromatography-gas chromatography (LC-GC) to determine brominated flame retardants in sediment samples. After extraction with pressurised hot water the analytes were adsorbed in a solid-phase trap. The trap was dried with nitrogen and the analytes were eluted to the LC column, where the extract was cleaned, concentrated and fractionated before transfer to the GC system. The fraction containing the brominated flame retardants was transferred to the GC system via an on-column interface. The PHWE-LC-GC method was linear from 0.0125 to 2.5 microg with limits of detection in the range 0.70-1.41 ng/g and limits of quantification 6.16-12.33 ng/g.

Immunoaffinity chromatography for the sample pretreatment of Taxus plant and cell extracts prior to analysis of taxanes by high-performance liquid chromatography.

The application of immunoaffinity chromatography for the purification of Taxus plant and cell extracts prior to the HPLC analysis is described. Polyclonal antibodies raised against 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB III), paclitaxel's main precursor in plant, were characterised by enzymed-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunoglobulins from selected antisera were immobilised on CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. The immunoaffinity column was used for the purification of plant and plant cell culture extracts prior to their analysis by HPLC. Immunoaffinity chromatography enabled the selective concentration of taxoids and enhanced sample clean-up.

Analysis of endosulfan isomers and endosulfan sulfate in air and tomato leaves by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection and confirmation by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Rapid analytical methods for the determination of endosulfan isomers and endosulfan-sulfate in air and plant samples were developed. The insecticides were trapped from air using a column containing Florisil and extracted with a low volume of ethyl acetate, assisted by sonication. Pesticide residues were determined by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection using a nonpolar capillary column. Residue identities were confirmed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Recoveries of these compounds from air samples were always higher than 78% with an RSD lower than 11% and the detection limits obtained were at least 0.3 ng/l air. Leaf samples were homogenised with ethyl acetate and extracts cleaned-up on an aluminium oxide column. Pesticides were eluted with a hexane-ethyl acetate (80:20, v/v) mixture. Recoveries obtained from plant samples were higher than 78% with an RSD lower than 14% and detection limits in leaves were 0.02 microg/g for each pesticide. These methods were applied to study the volatilisation of endosulfan from tomato leaves under laboratory conditions. A volatilisation rate near 1% of the initial amount of endosulfan per hour was obtained during the first 24 h at room temperature.

Detection of sendai virus protein by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with immuno-chromatography.

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was applied to the detection of Sendai virus F2 protein. Immunoaffinity chromatography was used prior to RP-HPLC to increase the specificity. With this combined method, the presence of F2 protein in complex solutions could be demonstrated within 150 min. Using RP-HPLC, F2 protein could be detected in amounts down to 20 ng, which could be reduced to 1 ng by application of a microbore column.
