Rapid and simple determination of fleroxacin in rat plasma using a solid-phase extraction column.

We studied the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a spectroflurometric detector, using a solid-phase extraction column (Bond Elut cartridge column), for the simple, rapid and sensitive determination of plasma fleroxacin (FLRX) levels in rats. Extracted aliquots were analyzed by HPLC, using a reverse phase octadecyl silica column. The analytical mean recovery of FLRX added to the blank plasma averaged 101.4%. The detection limit was 58 ng/ml in the plasma. The reproducibilities (C.V.) were 0.50-3.22% in the within-day assay and 2.87 C.V.% in the between-day assay, indicating that the analysis method was effective in the determination of FLRX plasma levels.

Solid-phase extraction and simplified high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of 10-deacetylbaccatin III and related taxoids in yew species.

Solid-phase extraction was accomplished with specially prepared cartridges filled with silanised silica gel (RP-2) for the purpose of 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB III) and related taxoids extracts purification obtained from different yew materials. In the first method, the analysed taxoids eluted in 75% methanol, but in the second method, the preliminary elution with 30% methanol was made. DAB III and its six derivatives were separated from co-extractives in merely acetonitrile-water gradient mode during 25 min on Waters Symmetry C-18 column with photodiode array (PDA) detection. The total recoveries for 10-DAB III and paclitaxel in the first SPE method (all compounds were applied in amounts of 80 microg) were about 98 and 94%, respectively. Almost 100% recoveries for paclitaxel and baseline separation of 10-DAB III and co-extracted compounds were obtained when preliminary elution with 30% methanol was performed. This method can be applied as a routine, inexpensive and uncomplicated procedure for 10-DAB III and related taxoids determination in yew material.

Automated 96-well solid phase extraction for the determination of doramectin in cattle plasma.

Automated standard and sample preparation have been coupled with 96-well solid phase extraction (SPE) technology to produce a cost effective, high throughput system for the analysis of drugs in biological media. The system was originally designed using the Packard Multiprobe 104DT robotic sample processor (RSP) to improve throughput for the assay of doramectin in cattle plasma, and the assay has since been validated (0.5-100 ng ml[-1]) using the Tecan Genesis RSP 150/8. The robotic processor conducts all liquid handling procedures involved in sample extraction. These comprise preparation of calibration standards in plasma, dispensing and diluting of plasma samples and addition of internal standard. In addition, the robot primes the 96-well SPE block, applies calibration standards and samples, draws the mixtures through the 96-well SPE block, and finally washes the block ready for manual elution. The doramectin assay involves high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection, and requires the sample extracts to be derivatised prior to analysis. The derivatisation procedure is performed manually in situ in the polypropylene deep 96-well block into which the samples have been eluted from the SPE-block. The derivatised samples are taken directly from the deep well block and injected into the HPLC for analysis. This type of batch processing keeps sample transfer to a minimum. Automated sample preparation, in combination with the use of 96-well technology, has reduced both cost and effort required in the analysis of doramectin in cattle plasma samples, and has resulted in improved sample throughput.

High-throughput sample preparation and analysis using 96-well membrane solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of steroids in human urine.

A 96-well solid-phase extraction (SPE) system is used to rapidly prepare human urine samples for high-throughput quantitative analysis of two steroids, equilenin and progesterone, by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using deuterated estrone as the internal standard. We define high-throughput here as analysis of 384 samples in a 24 h period. A total of 384 samples and standards were extracted by an individual in one day and subsequently analyzed within a 24 h period. The inter- and intratray accuracy and precision obtained over the course of these injections was within 8% coefficient of variation when analyzed by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry using positive ion detection. A semiautomated sample processing workstation was used to add internal standard and then process 96 samples at a time. The recovery of the analytes from the SPE was approximately 85%. The accuracy and precision obtained was comparable to that ordinarily obtained using manual sample preparation techniques.

Determination of pesticides and PCBs in virgin olive oil by multicolumn solid-phase extraction cleanup followed by GC-NPD/ECD and confirmation by ion-trap GC-MS.

A multicolumn solid-phase extraction cleanup for the determination of organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides plus PCB congeners in virgin olive oil is presented. The method involves dissolution of the olive oil in hexane, followed by a cleanup system using a diatomaceous earth column (Extrelut-QE) with reversed (C(18)) and normal (alumina) phase SPE columns. Determination of OPs was by GC-NPD, while the OCs and PCBs were analyzed using GC-ECD. Recovery assays for OPs varied from 81.7% to 105.3%, for OCs ranged between 74.3% and 99.4%, while for PCBs were from 60.1% to 119.2%. Quantitation limits ranged from 10 to 25 microg/kg olive oil for OPs, and from 1 to 6 microg/kg olive oil for OCs and PCBs. In the case of positive samples, the confirmation of pesticide identity was performed by ion-trap GC-MS/MS. The applicability of the method was assayed with 19 virgin olive oil samples collected from different olive mills of Aragón (Spain). Only one OP pesticide (acephate) was detected in one sample at a concentration of 10 microg/kg. Organochlorine pesticides were found in 5-47% of samples at very low levels ranging from 1.5 to 5.2 microg/kg. PCBs were found in 20-90% of samples, showing concentrations between 2.3 and 17.3 microg/kg.

Urine polyamines determination using dansyl chloride derivatization in solid-phase extraction cartridges and HPLC.

The derivatization of biogenic amines such as putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine with dansyl chloride in solid phase extraction cartridges is described. Different types of filling materials were tested in order to have the highest retention of the different analytes. The best results were obtained by using C18 cartridges. The optimal conditions were: amine solution buffered at pH 12, 2 mM dansyl chloride (acetone-bicarbonate solution 20 mM (pH 9-9.5), 2 + 3 v/v) as reagent concentration, room temperature and 30 min reaction time. The developed procedure was applied to the determination of these polyamines in urine samples from healthy controls and cancer patients using HPLC with 1,7-diaminoheptane as internal standard. The concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 5 micrograms mL-1 and the detection limits were 10 ng mL-1 for all polyamines. By concentrating the urine extracts, the detection limits were improved down to 2 ng mL-1. The accuracy and the precision of the method were tested. The proposed dansylation method is advantageous with respect to solution dansylation. It improves the total analysis time, avoids high temperatures that can affect the thermal stability of the derivatives and could make possible the automation of the procedure.

Flow injection on-line solid phase extraction for ultra-trace lead screening with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry.

A flow injection (FI) on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure for ultra-trace lead separation and preconcentration was developed, followed by hydride generation and atomic fluorescence spectrometric (AFS) detection. Lead is retained on an iminodiacetate chelating resin packed microcolumn, and is afterward eluted with 2.5% (v/v) hydrochloric acid to facilitate the hydride generation by reaction with alkaline tetrahydroborate solution with 1% (m/v) potassium ferricyanide as an oxidizing (or sensitizing) reagent. The hydride was separated from the reaction medium in the gas-liquid separator and swept into the atomizer for quantification. The chemical variables and the FI flow parameters were carefully optimized. With a sample loading volume of 4.8 ml, quantitative retention of lead was obtained, along with an enrichment factor of 11.3 and a sampling frequency of 50 h(-1). A detection limit of 4 ng l(-1), defined as 3 times the blank standard deviation (3 sigma), was achieved along with a RSD value of 1.6% at the 0.4 microg l(-1) level. The procedure was validated by determining lead contents in two certified reference materials, and its practical applicability was further demonstrated by analysing a variety of biological and environmental samples.

Evaluation and characterization of a commercial immunosorbent cartridge for the solid-phase extraction of phenylureas from aqueous matrices.

The behavior and main characteristics of a commercial immunosorbent (IS) cartridge for the solid-phase extraction of phenylureas are determined in this work. The measured capacity for the analyte-antigen (isoproturon) in a new cartridge is 215 ng and, after more than 100 adsorption-desorption cycles, the remaining capacity still is approximately 70 ng, demonstrating the good stability of the bonded antibody and the interesting possibility of extensive cartridge reuse. Only isoproturon and diuron are specifically retained in this sorbent. The weak nonspecific retention of other pesticides, including other phenylureas, can be avoided by increasing the sample volume during the loading step. Thus, a very selective and sensitive method for the determination of isoproturon and diuron in natural and potable waters is developed by loading a 50-mL sample adjusted to pH 7.4 in the IS cartridge, eluting with methanol-water (60:40, v/v), and analyzing the eluate by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. The clean chromatograms, low detection limits (approximately 0.1 micro g/L), and good precision (< 5%) obtained with this rapid and simple method demonstrate that immunoaffinity extraction can be an excellent alternative for sample preparation in the environmental monitoring of particular pesticides in water matrices.

Measurement of whole blood sirolimus by an HPLC assay using solid-phase extraction and UV detection.

The authors developed an HPLC assay for determining blood sirolimus concentration using a relatively simple solid-phase extraction and UV detection. The retention times of sirolimus and the internal standard, 32-desmethoxyrapamycin, are 8.7 and 9.3 minutes, respectively. The assay possesses linearity up to 200 ng/mL, sensitivity to 2.0 ng/mL, and day-to-day reproducibility of 8.8, 9.8, 6.1, and 6.4% at sirolimus concentrations of 6, 10, 20, and 30 ng/mL, respectively. A patient correlation study using this HPLC method and an established LC/MS/MS assay revealed a slope of 0.982 and intercept of -0.021 ng/mL and a correlation coefficient of 0.99 (n = 37). Of the 31 different drugs tested none interfered with the measurement of the drug of interest, and a recovery study gave an overall mean recovery of 101.8%. The authors conclude that the method described here is suited for the therapeutic monitoring of blood sirolimus concentration.

Application of a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction and cleanup procedure for LC/MS determination of thiabendazole and carbendazim in apple juice.

Recently, a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure was developed for rapid extraction and cleanup for determination of the fungicides thiabendazole and carbendazim in various fruit juices. This paper reports the application of that sample preparation procedure to the liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric determination of these fungicides in apple juice with detection by positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). Response was linear for sample concentrations from 2 to 500 microg/L (ppb). Recoveries averaged 74% (9% RSD) for carbendazim and 93% (9% RSD) for thiabendazole. After SPE cleanup, no matrix supression was observed for the ESI+ response for either compound studied. The method was applied to the analysis of incurred residues in 4 store-bought apple juices; carbendazim levels ranged from 10 to 70 microg/L and thiabendazole levels ranged from less than 2 to 130 microg/L.

Comparison between solid-phase extraction methods for the chromatographic determination of organophosphorus pesticides in water.

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) procedure has been developed to extract eight organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) in water and the method was compared with a conventional solid phase extraction (SPE) technique. The extracted OPs were analyzed by gas chromatography using thermionic specific detection. Both extraction methods presented linear calibration at least over the concentration range investigated (100 to 1000 ng x mL(-1) for SPE and 1 to 100 ng x mL(-1) for SPME). SPME method presented higher sensitivity than SPE. The quantitation limits were between 0.1 to 1.0 ng x mL(-1) for SPME depending upon the analyte, and 100 ng x mL(-1) for SPE. The precision, as measured by the standard deviations (RSD), were in the range 3.6% to 5.8% for SPME and 2.4% to 9.2% for SPE. Along with the feature of being a solvent - free sampling technique, SPME offers additional benefits due to its high sensitivity, simplicity, and small size sample required (typically: SPE - 500 mL, SPME - 5 mL).

Ion-pair solid-phase extraction of cimetidine from plasma and subsequent analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography.

An improved method is described for the solid-phase extraction of cimetidine from plasma or serum with subsequent analysis by HPLC. New aspects of the method include protein precipitation with metaphosphoric acid (5%, w/v), followed by selective adsorption of cimetidine and the internal standard ranitidine on the surface of a solid-phase phenyl (PH Bond Elut) column, using octanesulfonate as an ion-pairing agent. Separation was achieved on a LiChrosorb RP-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.01 M phosphate buffer pH 3.0 containing 0.005 M octanesulfonate (22:78, v/v). The intra-assay coefficient of variation varied between 0.7 and 4.0%. The procedure provides cleaner and more stable samples and a better recovery (90 +/- 2.3%) and sensitivity (limit of detection 5 ng/ml and limit of quantitation 25 ng/ml) as compared with previous methods.

Simultaneous determination of clomipramine and its desmethyl and hydroxy metabolites in plasma of patients by high-performance liquid chromatography after solid-phase extraction.

Clomipramine (CMI) is a typical tricyclic antidepressant with a wide clinical spectrum, being used in major depressive, panic and obsessive-compulsive disorders. The relationship between clinical response and plasma levels of clomipramine and its N-desmethylated (N-desmethylclomipramine, DMCMI) and hydroxy-metabolites remains unclear. In particular, limited information is available on the correlation with clinical response in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study describes a new sensitive method to simultaneously determine CMI and its major N-desmethylated and hydroxy-metabolites present in human plasma by HPLC with a UV detector. After a solid-phase extraction from plasma (Isolute C2 columns) the separation of the compounds was performed on a Lichrospher CN column (250 x 4 mm, 5 microm with a 2-cm pre-column) by an eluent consisting of 10 mM K(2)HPO(4)-acetonitrile-methanol (35:25:40 v/v/v) at a flow of 1.5 ml/min. UV detector was set at 214 nm. The lower limit of quantification for all the analytes was at least 5 ng/ml. The coefficients of variation ranged between 2.0 and 4.9% with recovery rates between 97.0 and 100.3%. Linear regression analyses showed correlation coefficients between 0.98 and 0.99. This method is simple, fast and reliable with good specificity and sensitivity. Solid phase extraction is efficient and rapid, allowing the extraction of several plasma samples on the same day and may therefore be usefully and realistically applied in the clinical context. We thus investigated the relevance of plasma levels of CMI and its metabolites as a predictor of clinical outcome in a group of 15 patients with OCD.

Quantitative determination of pamoic acid in dog and rat serum by automated ion-pair solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

Pamoic acid is used as a counter ion to obtain long-acting pharmaceutical formulations of certain basic drugs. In order to investigate the pharmacokinetics of pamoic acid, a simple, sensitive and reliable method has been established for the quantitative determination of pamoic acid in serum from dog and rat. The method uses ion-pair solid-phase extraction followed by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatograpy. The influence on recovery of the addition of different agents (tetrabutylammonium acetate, methanol, sodium hydroxide) to the serum samples prior to solid-phase extraction was studied and the analytical method was validated. The method was found to be valid for accurate, precise and selective determination of pamoic acid in the tested concentration range of 5-200 ng/ml serum. The overall performance of the HPLC method was found to be satisfactory for the purpose of determining concentrations of pamoic acid in serum samples from pharmacokinetic studies with pamoic acid in dogs and rats.

Determination of ondansetron and its hydroxy metabolites in human serum using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography/positive ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

Ondansetron and its hydroxylated metabolites were determined in human serum using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography/positive ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. Pyrimethamine was used as the internal standard. The analytes were eluted from the SPE cartridge using 2 x 1 ml of methanol containing 0.5% triethylamine, evaporated under vacuum and the residue was reconstituted in the mobile phase. The liquid chromatographic separation was achieved on a silica column using a mobile phase of aqueous 20 mM ammonium acetate (pH 4.7)-acetonitrile (85 : 15, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.4 ml min(-1). The method was linear over the range 1-500 ng ml(-1) for ondansetron and each of the metabolites in human serum. The intra-day accuracy was better than 9.1% and the precision was <10.3%; the inter-day accuracy was better than 9.5% and the precision was <12.6%. The limit of detection was 250 pg ml(-1) based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The absolute recovery from serum for all analytes was >90%.

Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic determination of cyproheptadine from urine by solid-phase extraction.

A simple, sensitive and reliable high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of cyproheptadine in urine by solid-phase extraction (SPE) has been developed. The sample matrix was passed through a pre-conditioned C18 cartridge, washed with methanol-water solution (4:1) and eluted with methanol. The methanolic solution was evaporated to dryness, reconstituted with methanol and chromatographed using a C18 reversed-phase column. The mobile phase consisted of acetate buffer (constant ionic strength of 0.005 I)-methanol (56:44, v/v). Detection was performed at 254 nm with the sensitivity set at 0.002 AUFS. Concentrations as low as 50 ng/ml could be quantitatively determined by an external standard method and the overall recovery was found to be 76.16%, whereas the limit of detection was estimated as 15 ng/ml.

Optimization of solid-phase extraction using artificial neural networks in combination with experimental design for determination of resveratrol by capillary zone electrophoresis in wines.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is often used for preconcentration of analytes from biological samples. Such an analytical step requires optimization for obtaining reliable results. Optimization in analytical chemistry is traditionally still often done with relaxation method, when an optimal value of a single variable is searched for (single variable approach (SVA)). However, if the optimized procedure is complex, there is a danger not to find the real optimum by SVA. Therefore, more advanced optimization approaches should be applied-multivariable approach (MVA). Applying MVA optimization and finding the real optimum, better experimental conditions are obtained and thus, time, chemicals and analytical procedure cost can be served. Nowadays, using artificial neural networks (ANN's) in combination with MVA is rapidly expanding. In this work, the optimization of SPE using relaxation method (SVA) and optimization by ANN's in combination with experimental design (MVA) are compared and latter approach is practically illustrated. Advantages of MVA over SVA for optimization are discussed. The prediction of the optimal SPE conditions for determination cis- and trans-resveratrol in Australian wines by capillary zone electrophoresis is described and the improvement of efficiency of SPE using MVA is confirmed.

Solid-phase extraction of esculetin from the ash bark of Chinese traditional medicine by using molecularly imprinted polymers.

A molecularly imprinted polymer solid-phase extraction method is used to extract esculetin from the ash bark of Chinese traditional medicine. Ratio of ethanol and water as washing solution were investigated. Data of accumulative adsorption on molecularly imprinted polymers from the continuous loading experiment suggests that there are two different kinds of recognition sites in molecularly imprinted polymers. By selecting the washing and eluting solution a scheme was designed to separate esculetin and its analogues including esculin, coumarin, 7-methoxylcoumarin and daphnetin. Finally, by applying the revised scheme esculetin was extracted from the ash bark of Chinese traditional medicine that was purchased from two big drugstores, respectively, with both molecularly imprinted polymers and non-molecularly imprinted polymers.
