Determination of triazines and organophosphorus pesticides in water samples using solid-phase extraction.

1991

Abstract Octadecyl (C 18 )-bonded porous silica was evaluated for the extraction of triazine and organophosphorus pesticides from natural water. The extraction results showed an effective performance when 1 l of water was passed through small glass columns containing 500 mg of 50–100-μm C 18 bonded porous silica. The absorbed compounds were removed with ethyl acetate, evaporated to 200 μl and determined by gas chromatography. The overall average recoveries were greater than 85% except for dimethoate and trichlorfon. Application of this procedure to the analysis of natural water samples gave results that agree well with those obtained by solvent extraction methods.

Molecularly imprinted polymer-based device for field collection of oral fluid samples for cocaine identification.

2020

In this paper, a low-cost, rapid, easy, and potentially portable tool for the identification of cocaine and its semi-quantitative determination in oral fluid has been proposed. A field collection device has been designed, based on a cotton pad with an indicator and a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sorbent, to selective retain cocaine from oral fluid components. After sample collection, cocaine is transferred by using phosphate buffer to the MIP and then eluted with 2-propanol. The obtained extract is analysed by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), providing a cut-off value of 20 µg L-1 that identifies 100 % true-positive and 95 % true-negative samples. The MIP-IMS procedure has been valid…

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of Maillard compounds in store-brand and name-brand ultra-high-temperature-treated cows' milk.

2000

Furosine and furfural products of the Maillard reaction are used as specific indicators of the effect of heating treatments on milk quality. Their contents were measured in representative samples of store- and name-brand ultra-high-temperature-treated milks using RP-HPLC with UV detection. Furosine contents ranged from 40.32 to 50.67 and from 65.48 to 310.58 mg/100 g protein in name- and store-brand milks, respectively. Of the furfurals, only hydroxymethylfurfural was detected. The free hydroxymethylfurfural contents of store-brand milks ranged from 0.22 to 1.70 mg/100 g protein. Total hydroxymethylfurfural contents ranged from 0.29 to 0.41 and from 0.72 to 2.21 mg/100 g protein, for name- …

Filter-based infrared detectors for high temperature size exclusion chromatography analysis of polyolefins: calibration with a small number of standa…

2012

Infrared detection has been shown to be very appropriate for high temperature analysis of polyolefins. After some early reports in which dispersive or single-band filter-based detectors were applied, Fourier transform detectors have been described for this application, in order to improve the method sensitivity. Modern simple filter-based detectors prove, however, comparable sensitivity while providing a number of practical advantages when coupled to chromatographic systems: reduced cell volume, simplified hardware, continuous generation of absorbance chromatograms, as well as simpler data collection and processing. A practical method for calibration, using multiple-band signals obtained wi…

Isolation and concentration of organophosphorus pesticides from water using a c18 reversed phase

1989

Abstract A simple, rapid and effective method for the extraction and enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides based on the use of Sep-Pak C 18 cartridges was studied as alternative method to those based on extraction with organic solvents. The influence of the elution solvent, pH, salinity and volume of water filtered was studied for ten organophosphorus pesticides. The pesticides were determined by gas chromatography with a BP-1 capillary column and a thermionic detector. Recoveries at the 100 and 200 ng/1 spiking levels were greater than 85%, except for disulfoton.

Critical study of and improvements in chromatographic methods for the analysis of type B trichothecenes

2001

Various analytical methods used in the analysis of type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3- and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol) in cereals were compared and optimised in this work. These methods use either GC-electron-capture detection (ECD) of trimethylsilyl, trifluoroacetyl and heptafluorobutyryl derivatives or HPLC with UV or photodiode array detection of analytes. A new HPLC procedure using fluorescence detection prior derivatisation with coumarin-3-carbonyl chloride has been also tested. Five extraction solvents and two solid-phase extraction cartridges (silica, Florisil) plus a especial clean-up column (MycoSep 225) were compared in order to obtain the best recovery of the mycoto…

Solid-Phase Extraction of Organochlorine Pesticides from Water Samples

1990

Abstract A procedure for the accumulation of organochiorine pesticides by reversed-phase adsorption on octadecylsilica glass microcolumns was used for the isolation and concentration from spiked distilled and natural waters. The pesticides were eluted from the octadecylsilica with light petroleum, and analyzed by gas chromatography using an electron capture detector. The average recovery was over 90% in spiked water samples at 0.1 ng/ml. The performance of the octadecylsilica when applied to the analysis of water samples were compared with the Rodier and the APHA solvent extraction methods.

Study on the efficiency of assembled packed microbore columns in HPLC

1984

Stainless steel columns (internally mirror-finished, 125 or 250nm in length, of bore 1.0 or 1.6mm) were slurry-packed with 5µm and 4µm reversed phase silicas (Hypersil ODS, LiChrosorb RP-8 and RP-18 and Superspher RP-8. The HPLC equipment consisted of a pump LC5A (Shimadzu) or a pump 2150 (LKB Instruments), a rheodyne valve 7413 with loops of 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0mm3 and a Jasco-Uvidec 100-II UV detector, variously with one of three specially constructed cells of 0.2, 0.4 and 1.3mm3 volume. Columns were assembled using two types of coupling device employing a stainless steel capillary of 0.12mm bore. The effect of sample volume, design of coupling device in assembled column, detector cell volume…
