Evaluation of a multidimensional solid-phase extraction platform for highly selective on-line cleanup and high-throughput LC-MS analysis of triazines in river water samples using molecularly imprinted polymers.

A novel highly selective sample cleanup procedure based on the use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as solid-phase extraction materials has been evaluated with respect to its applicability and routine use in environmental analysis. The method comprises the combination of a restricted access material (RAM) and a MIP allowing a selective sample preparation to be achieved in the online mode. This combination is called the size-selective sample separation and solvent switch (six-SPE). The RAM column combines size exclusion and adsorption chromatography, reducing the concentration of matrix molecules by a cutoff of 15 kDa. The MIP column selectively retains the triazine analytes whereas the residual matrix is not retained and separated completely. Thus, the automated RAM-MIP is capable of excluding all matrix and nontarget compounds. The cleaned and enriched extract is subsequently eluted to an HPLC column and analyzed by LC-MS. A complete on-line analysis cycle including multidimensional solid-phase extraction, separation, and detection takes less than 15 min. Terbuthylazine, atrazine, propazine, simazine, ametryn, prometryn, irgarol, and also the metabolites deethylatrazine and deisopropylatrazine can be determined without any matrix interferences, e.g., by humic acids. The whole setup is fully automated and may be continuously operated. Nonspecific interactions with the polymer are below 1% in all cases. The accuracy of the LC-MIP-LC-MS system was controlled using a certified reference material (Aquacheck). The applicability of the method to the cleanup of real samples was demonstrated by injection of contaminated river water samples. The stability of different polymers was tested by consecutive injections, and it was shown that the performance of the materials did not vary even after more than 300 enrichment and desorption cycles.

Solid-phase extraction of phenols and pesticides in water with a modified polymeric resin.

A comparative study of a chemically modified polymeric resin which has a benzoyl group and several commercial sorbents, such as PLRP-S, Envi-chrom P and LIChrolut EN, for the solid-phase extraction of various phenolic compounds and pesticides was carried out. Selectivity and breakthrough volumes for these compounds with different sorbents were studied by coupling an on-line solid-phase extraction system with a modified liquid chromatograph equipped with a UV detector. After determining the chromatographic conditions, linearity range and detection limits, the method was applied to the determination of these compounds in drinking and surface water. For 25 ml of sample, the recovery was > 70% for all the compounds, except for 4-nitrophenol (62%), and detection limits were between 0.2 and 0.8 microgram I-1.

Analysis of a residual diamine in a pharmaceutical polymer using solid phase extraction with analysis by gas chromatography mass spectrometry.

A method was developed for the analysis of 4,4'-methylenebiscyclohexylamine (DMDA) and 4,4'-methylenedicyclohexylisocyanate (DMDI) in a pharmaceutical polymer. The DMDA was extracted from the polymer with either buffer (0.1 M potassium phosphate pH 3.1) and the extract was passed through a SCX solid phase extraction cartridge. It was eluted from the cartridge with methanolic ammonia and then converted to its heptafluorobutyramide (HFB) derivative prior to analysis by gas chromatography-negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the negative ion chemical ionisation (NICI) mode. It was not possible to directly measure DMDI and it was thus analysed by selecting extraction conditions such that it would decompose to DMDA. The quantification of the residues in the polymer was based on the method of standard additions since this gave a better indication of the recovery from the complex matrix.

Quantification of amphetamine in urine: solid-phase extraction, polymeric-reagent derivatization and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

The concentration of amphetamine was determined in urine using solid-phase extraction, polymeric-reagent derivatization, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. To remove a majority of acidic and neutral compounds in urine, a solid-phase extraction was first performed on a sample spiked with the internal standard, 1-methyl-3-phenyl-propylamine. Because amphetamine has a relatively low molar absorptivity, the base was derivatized with a polymeric 1-hydroxybenzotriazole reagent containing a 3,5-dinitrobenzoate active ester. The limit of detection is 14 ng/ml, and the limit of quantification is 47 ng/ml. The calibration curve is linear from 0.01 to 4.0 micrograms/ml. The pooled relative standard deviation is +/- 5.5% for eight urine samples measured in duplicate. The average relative error (bias) is +2.2% when compared to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Solid-phase extraction on C18 silica as a purification strategy in the solution synthesis of a 1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside library.

A novel strategy for the purification of carbohydrate-based chemical libraries synthesized in solution was developed. Purification of reaction products was accomplished by means of solid-phase extraction enabled by protecting the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-hydroxyl groups of a galactose derivative as their hydrophobic O-laurates. The presence of multiple O-laurates allowed adsorption of reaction products onto C18 silica while reagents and by-products were washed away with MeOH. Products were quantitatively eluted with pentane. Purification of products using solid-phase extraction offers the combined advantages of solution synthesis (normal solution reactivity and ease of reaction monitoring) with those of solid-phase synthesis (facile product isolation permitting the use of large excesses of reagents). To demonstrate the utility of the hydrophobic recovery-procedure, tetra-O-lauroyl-beta-D-galactopyranose-1-thiol was subjected to high-yielding reactions with a panel of Michael-acceptors and an alpha-chloro ketone. The resulting ketone adducts were then either reduced to the alcohols or reductively aminated with a selection of amino acids to give 30 different 1-thio-beta-D-galactosides as mixtures of four diastereomers after removal of protecting groups. At each step, the product was separated from the reagents and their by-products by simple adsorption onto C18 silica, washing with MeOH and elution of product with pentane. After completion of the combinatorial chemistry sequence, the O-laurates were cleaved by methanolysis and the product methyl laurate in turn removed from the desired water-soluble products by C18 adsorption. Individual library members were thus conveniently produced on 10-30 mg scales at purity levels of > 90%. One of the 1-thio-beta-D-galactosides thus produced was found to be a competitive inhibitor of the beta-galactosidase from E. coli with Ki value of 1.7 microM.

Solid-phase extraction of methadone enantiomers and benzodiazepines in biological fluids by two polymeric cartridges for liquid chromatographic analysis.

The aim of this work was to present the advantages of two polymeric cartridges (Oasis HLB from Waters and Abselut Nexus from Varian) for the solid-phase extraction of methadone enantiomers and its major metabolite, 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP) and of some benzodiazepines (diazepam, flunitrazepam, nitrazepam, oxazepam) in serum and urine in comparison with classical C18-bonded-silica cartridges or liquid extraction. After addition of serum or urine samples, these two cartridges were washed with a water-methanol mixture (95:5, v/v) and eluted with diethylether. After rapid evaporation, the residue was regenerated with mobile phase and injected either in a chiral column (Cyclobond I-2000 RSP) for methadone enantiomers and its metabolite or in a reversed-phase column (Symmetry Shield RP8) for benzodiazepines. The results showed that the chromatograms of blank serum and urine were cleaner than those obtained from classical solid-phase extraction or liquid extraction. The recoveries from these two polymeric cartridges were higher (95-102%) than those obtained by the two previous classical methods and the total time for extraction and solvent evaporation was also shorter (about 6-7 min). For methadone and benzodiazepine extraction, the use of acidic or alkaline buffer was not necessary.

Determination of malondialdehyde in biological samples by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography.

An analytical procedure for determination of malondialdehyde in tissue homogenates and blood serum was developed. A reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine is used followed by cleaning up of the derivative by solid-phase extraction. The samples were analyzed by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a narrow-bore HPLC-column. A good separation of the 1-pyrazole peak from that of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine was observed. A high linear dependence was established by the concentration of 1-pyrazole in the range of 10-5000 ng/ml. The detection limit of the method applied for tissue homogenates and blood serum was approximately 10 ng/ml or lower, and RSD of the method was 9% (n = 8). The peak of 1-pyrazole for these samples was well separated from the other matrix peaks. Experiments carried out evaluated that the solid-phase extraction might be an effective step of the sample preparation, significantly increasing the selectivity of the analysis and the life-time of the column. The method seems to be applicable for determination of malondialdehyde in different biological samples.

Determination of several pesticides in water by solid-phase extraction, liquid chromatography and electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

The analysis of pesticides in water samples is a problem of primary concern for quality control laboratories due to the toxicity level of these compounds and their public health risk. In order to evaluate the impact of pesticides in the Lisbon drinking water supply system, following the requirements of the European Union Directive 98/83/EC, we developed and validated an analytical method based on the combination of solid-phase extraction with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. In this work, several pesticides were studied: imidacloprid, dimethoate, cymoxanil, carbendazime, phosmet, carbofuran, isoproturon, diuron, methidathion, linuron, pyrimethanil, methiocarbe, tebuconazole and chlorpyrifos. Several parameters of the electrospray source were optimized in order to get the best formation conditions of the precursor ion for each pesticide, namely capillary and extractor voltage, cone voltage, cone gas flow rate and desolvation gas flow rate. After optimization of the collision cell energy of the triple quadrupole, two different precursor ion-product ion transitions were selected for each pesticide, one for quantification and one for qualification, and these ions were monitored under time-scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) conditions. The selection of specific fragment ions for each pesticide guarantees a high degree of selectivity as well as additional sensitivity to quantify trace levels of these pesticides in water samples. This method showed excellent linearity ranges for all pesticides, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9989. Determination limits (between 0.0041 and 0.0480 microg/L), precision (RSD <9.18%), accuracy and recovery studies in several water samples using solid-phase extraction were also performed.

Analysis of pesticides and metabolites in Spanish surface waters by isotope dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with previous automated solid-phase extraction Estimation of the uncertainty of the analytical results.

A method based on isotope dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) is described for the analysis of 32 pesticides and metabolites in surface waters. This approach consist in the use of nine isotopically labelled representative pesticides as internal standards, which allows high accuracy (trueness and precision) and sensitivity for most analysed compounds, as it is required for isotope dilution-based methods. Uncertainties associated with pesticide determination in real samples were estimated using quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) data. For most pesticides expanded uncertainty was below 40%, according to the commonly established requirements for analytical results. Ninety three Spanish surface waters collected in June-July and September-November 2004 were analysed. Concentration and occurrence of pesticides were evaluated. These parameters were higher in the summer than in the autumn period. In summer four pesticides were found in more than 50% of the analysed samples and four compounds were detected above the concentration level of 1 microg/l (atrazine, terbutylazine, 3,4-dichloroaniline and fenitrothion), while in autumn percentage of detection was below 50% for all pesticides and only one compound (terbutylazine) exceeded 1 microg/l.

Selective hair analysis of nicotine by molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction: an application for evaluating tobacco smoke exposure.

A method using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as the selective sorbent for solid-phase extraction (SPE) has been developed. Its application to the assay of hairy nicotine level among smokers and non-smokers with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluation of exposures to the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) were validated. The MIP was synthesized using nicotine as the template molecule and methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer. This MIP-SPE method provided inherent selectivity and a sensitive response to nicotine with a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml hair at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 and the limit of quantification was 0.5 ng/ml. The linearity was assessed in the range of 0.5-80 ng/ml hair, with a coefficient (r(2)) greater than 0.987. The amounts of nicotine determined in smokers and non-smokers hair were in the range of 5.1-69.5 ng/mg hair and 0.50-9.3 ng/mg hair, respectively. The reported measures of ETS exposure were significantly associated with hairy nicotine levels. This assay of nicotine in hair using MISPE provided a very selective and reliable method for the evaluation of the exposure to tobacco smoke.

Improved procedure for the the determination of rofecoxib in human plasma involving 96-well solid-phase extraction and fluorescence detection.

An improved assay for the determination of rofecoxib in human plasma samples is described. The analyte and an internal standard were extracted from the plasma matrix using solid-phase extraction in the 96-well format with an Empore C8-SD extraction plate. The analytes are chromatographed on a Waters Symmetry C18 analytical column (3.5 microm, 50x4.6 mm) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water (35:65, v/v). Analyte detection was via fluorescence following post-column photochemical derivatization. Eight point calibration curves over the concentration range of 0.5-80 ng/ml yielded a linear response when a 1/y weighted linear regression model was employed. Based on the replicate analyses (n=5) of spiked standards, the within-day assay precision was better than 8% RSD at all points on the calibration curve, within-day accuracy was within 6% of nominal at all standard concentrations. The between-run precision and accuracy of the assay, as calculated from the results of the analysis of quality control samples, was better than 7% RSD and within 5% of nominal. Assay throughput was improved by a factor of three as compared to previously described methods. The method was partially automated using a combination of a Packard Multi-Probe liquid handling system and a TomTec Quadra 96 workstation.

A new selective chromogenic reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of thallium(I) and (III) and its separation using flotation and the solid-phase extraction on polyurethane foam.

A new sensitive chromogenic reagent, 9,10-phenanthaquinone monoethylthiosemicarbazone (PET), has been synthesized and used in the spectrophotometric determination of Tl(III). In HNO3, H2SO4 or H3PO4 acids, PET can react immediately at room temperature with Tl(III) to form a red 2:1 complex with a maximum absorption at 516 nm. The different analytical parameters affecting the extraction and determination processes have been examined. The calibration curve was found to be linear over the range 0.2-10 microg cm(-3) with a molar absorptivity of 2.2 x 10(4) dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1). Sandell's sensitivity was found to be 0.0093 microg cm(-2). No interference from macroamounts of foreign ions was detected, except for Pd(II). However, Pd(II) does not affect the determination process, because its complex with PET has its lambda(max) at 625 nm. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of Tl(I and III) in synthetic and natural samples after separation by flotation (in oleic acid/kerosene) and solid-phase extraction (on polyurethane foam) techniques. The two methods were found to be accurate and not subject to random error, but solid-phase extraction was preferred because it is cheap, simpler and there is no contamination risk coming from flotation reagents.

Determination of sulfadoxine concentrations in whole blood using C18 solid-phase extraction, sodium dodecyl sulfate and dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde.

A simple method is described for the extraction and subsequent analysis of sulfadoxine in human whole blood using a solid-phase extraction technique and colorimetric reaction. This procedure utilizes the micellar properties of sodium dodecyl sulfate to: (1) extract sulfadoxine from a C18 solid-phase sample-preparation column; (2) enhance the colorimetric reaction produced by the addition of p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC); and (3) provide stability to the coloured product generated by the reaction of sulfadoxine with DMAC. The intense, violet-red colour reaction can be conveniently used for qualitative and semiquantitative visual interpretations of sulfadoxine levels. Under the assay conditions, drug concentrations in the blood of subjects receiving sulfadoxine were determined from absorbance measurements. These results correlated well with the sulfadoxine levels determined from high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. Important advantages of the procedure include the ability to evaluate small samples of whole blood (100 microliters), the minimal use of organic solvents, no sophisticated instrumentation, and formation of a stable, coloured reaction product. The method proved to be a suitable field assay for determining whole-blood levels of sulfonamides in the concentration range from 5 to 100 micrograms ml-1.

Diastereoisomeric resolution of a pronucleotide using solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography: application to a stereoselective decomposition kinetic in cell extracts.

A stereospecific HPLC methodology has been developed for the diastereoisomeric resolution of a mononucleotide prodrug in cell extracts. This method involves the use of solid phase extraction on a C18 cartridge. Diastereoisomers and internal standard resolutions were performed on a cellulose based chiral column (Chiralcel OD-H) used in the normal phase mode. The method was validated in terms of specificity, recovery, linearity (diasteroisomers mixture concentration: 3-60 micromol L(-1)), precision and accuracy and detection limit (1.67 and 1.33 micromol L(-1) for first and second eluted diastereoisomer). This method was applied to the determination of the apparent rate constants of disappearance and half-lives of each stereoisomers. This permits to conclude to the stereoselectivity of the enzymatic activity involved in the decomposition pathway of 2.
