Recent developments and future trends in solid phase microextraction techniques towards green analytical chemistry.
2013
Solid phase microextraction find increasing applications in the sample preparation step before chromatographic determination of analytes in samples with a complex composition. These techniques allow for integrating several operations, such as sample collection, extraction, analyte enrichment above the detection limit of a given measuring instrument and the isolation of analytes from sample matrix. In this work the information about novel methodological and instrumental solutions in relation to different variants of solid phase extraction techniques, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) is presented, including prac…
New micromethod combining miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion and in-tube in-valve solid-phase microextraction for estimating polycyclic aroma…
2008
Abstract Miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) was developed for the extraction of common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from bivalve samples (100 mg, dry weight). Additional clean-up and analyte enrichment was accomplished by in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME). For this purpose the extracts collected after MSPD were diluted with water and injected into a capillary column coated with the extractive phase. This capillary column was connected to the analytical column by means of a switching valve. Separation and quantification of the PAHs were carried out using a monolithic LC column and fluorescence detection. Since the in-tube SPME device allowed the processing …
Sensitive determination of ethacrynic acid in urine samples by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection using solid-phase extr…
1992
Abstract A rapid method is described for the identification and determination of ethacrynic acid in human urine samples by liquid chromatography with UV detection, the retention time of the analyte being 4.9 min. The samples were previously conditioned using C 18 solid-phase extraction columns and chromatographed on an HP-LiChrospher RP C 18 column (5 μm; 125 mm × 4 mm i.d.) with gradient elution with acetonitrile-acetate buffer (pH 4). The detector was set at 275 nm and furosemide was used as an internal standard. The procedure was applied to the determination of ethacrynic acid at concentrations of 0.01-10 μg ml -1 and the limit of detection was 6 ng ml -1 .
A solid-phase extraction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the percutaneous absorption assessment of 3-(4′-methylbenzylidene)…
2013
The UV filter 3-(4′-methylbenzylidene)camphor (MBC) is a common ingredient in sunscreen cosmetic products. However, different in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that MBC can cause endocrine disrupting effects. This report focuses on the development of an analytical method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) prior to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of MBC and its main phase I metabolite, named 3-(4′-carboxybenzylidene)camphor (CBC), in urine from users of sunscreen cosmetic products containing MBC. The formation of phase II metabolites (i.e., glucuronide and sulphate conjugates) was also considered by carrying out an enzymatic hydrolysis of…
Development of a fully automated sequential injection solid-phase extraction procedure coupled to liquid chromatography to determine free 2-hydroxy-4…
2010
Abstract 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulphonic acid, commonly known as benzophenone-3 (BZ3) and benzophenone-4 (BZ4), respectively, are substances widely used as UV filters in cosmetic products in order to absorb UV radiation and protect human skin from direct exposure to the deleterious wavelengths of sunlight. As with other UV filters, there is evidence of their percutaneous absorption. This work describes an analytical method developed to determine trace levels of free BZ3 and BZ4 in human urine. The methodology is based on a solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure for clean-up and pre-concentration, followed by the monitoring of the UV filters by…
Spectrophotometric determination of phenols in water samples by the GHPSAM method
2001
Abstract The generalized H-point standard-additions method (GHPSAM) is proposed in order to obtain the phenol concentration in water samples when the matrix is completely unknown. The procedure involves solid-phase extraction in BondElut PPL cartridges and data handling of the UV-visible spectrophotometry measurements. The spectral regions where the unknown interferent behaviour can be considered as linear are found and the analyte concentration free from bias error is estimated. The percentages of recovery of phenols in spiked samples were similar to those obtained by HPLC. Cresols or chlorophenols can be also determined in real samples by this method. The concentration range tested was 0.…
Exploring hand-portable nano-liquid chromatography for in place water analysis: Determination of trimethylxanthines as a use case.
2020
Abstract Analytical performance and optimization of figures of merit of a portable nano liquid chromatograph (NanoLC) with UV detection at 255 nm have been established for in place analysis. Methylxanthines: caffeine, theophylline and theobromine were selected as target analytes. A fast lab method based on IT-SPME coupled on line with capillary liquid chromatograph (CapLC) with diode array detection (DAD) was employed for comparative studies. IT-SPME and solid phase extraction were coupled off-line to NanoLC for improving instrumental parameters, mainly detection capacity and selectivity. IT-SPME or SPE/portable NanoLC based methods were superior in terms of chromatographic resolution and o…
Stir bar sorptive-dispersive microextraction mediated by magnetic nanoparticles-nylon 6 composite for the extraction of hydrophilic organic compounds…
2016
A new and sensitive analytical method based on the recently developed approach termed stir bar-sorptive dispersive microextraction (SBSDME) using a magnetic CoFe2O4@SiO2-nylon 6 composite as sorbent material is presented for the extraction of hydrophilic organic compounds. The simultaneous determination of four hydrophilic UV filters in environmental water samples has been chosen as a model analytical application due to the increasing awareness regarding the occurrence of sunscreen residuals in natural waters. The developed SBSDME approach combines the principles and benefits of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) but allows for lower extraction …
Sequential injection analysis for benzophenone-4 and phenylbenzimidazole sulphonic acid in sunscreen sprays by solid-phase extraction coupled with ul…
2002
Abstract A sequential injection UV method was developed to determine benzophenone-4 (BZ4) and phenylbenzimidazole sulphonic acid (PBS) simultaneously, these being the most commonly used UV-filters in aqueous formulations used as sunscreen sprays. The selective elution of both was performed by on-line solid-phase extraction, by retention on a SAX microcolumn and separation by varying the pH of elution. The sensitivity obtained was 0.042±0.001 ml μg −1 for PBS and 0.0159±0.0003 ml μg −1 for BZ4. The limit of detection was 1.6 μg ml −1 for PBS and 0.6 μg ml −1 for BZ4. The R.S.D. of the results was 1–6% for PBS and 1–12% for BZ4. The method was validated using commercial sunscreen formulations…
Urine polyamines determination using dansyl chloride derivatization in solid-phase extraction cartridges and HPLC
1999
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 wit…
