Synergistic combination of polyamide-coated paper-based sorptive phase for the extraction of antibiotics in saliva.
2021
Abstract The development of analytical methods that allow the simultaneous determination of a wide range of analytes with different properties is one of the focuses of attention in Analytical Chemistry. This work describes a proof-of-concept of the synergistic extraction of a planar paper-based sorptive phase modified with a polyamide such as nylon. This as-prepared sorptive phase enables the extraction of six penicillin-derived antibiotics of different polarity from human saliva samples in the same analysis, since the analytes either interact with the paper or with the nylon. The synthesis of the sorptive phase is simple as it only requires dipping the paper into an organic solution of the…
In tube-solid phase microextraction-nano liquid chromatography: Application to the determination of intact and degraded polar triazines in waters and…
2017
Abstract In-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) coupled to miniaturized liquid chromatography (LC) techniques are attractive mainly due to the column efficiency improvement, sensitivity enhancement and reduction of solvent consumption. In addition, the nanomaterials based sorbents can play a key role in the improvement of the extraction efficiency taking into account their interesting physical and chemical properties. Thus, in this work the performance of IT-SPME coupled to nano LC (NanoLC) has been compared with the performance of IT-SPME coupled to capillary LC (CapLC) with similar configurations for the determination of polar triazines including their degradation products. In both…
Amphetamine-type stimulants analysis in oral fluid based on molecularly imprinting extraction
2018
Abstract A methamphetamine-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has been prepared by bulk polymerization to recognize new psychoactive substances (NPS) of the amphetamine, cathinones and 2C families in oral fluid samples, being the first precedent of a synthetized MIP for the extraction and preconcentration 32 NPS including amphetamine type substances and synthetic cathinones from oral fluids. Pre-polymerization complex and resulting materials were appropriately characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Appropriateness of the material for the specific recognition of the target analytes was also evaluated through …
Sub- and supercritical fluid extraction of trichloropyridinol from soil prior to immunoassay
1997
A comparative study on the extraction of TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol, a metabolite of chlorpyrifos) from soil with CO2 and H2O is reported. The polarity of the analyte requires the presence of both a cosolvent (methanol) and an ion-pair reagent [(1R)-(-)-10-camphorsulfonic acid ammonium salt] for 95% extraction in 30 min when supercritical CO2 at 40 degrees C and 383 bar is used as extractant. Subcritical water (250 degrees C and 200 bar) enables complete extraction within 15 min without additives. Quantitation of the target analyte is performed by specific immunoassay using a non-commercial monoclonal antibody which provides a linear determination range between 0.005 and 5 micrograms/…
Automated Photo-Induced Fluorescence Determination of Flumetsulam
2009
The present article deals with a new procedure for determination of the herbicide flumetsulam. The fluorimetric procedure is performed on the basis of photo-increased fluorimetric emission of the pesticide solution and by means of a multicommutation continuous-flow assembly. The alkaline solution containing the analyte is irradiated online and then directly forced through the fluorimeter flow cell. The analysis of different samples is completely automated, as the analyte separation was performed online by including a separation cartridge in the manifold. When dealing with solid samples (such as soil samples), the automation was completed by adding to the manifold the corresponding device fo…
Adsorbent phases with nanomaterials for in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled on-line to liquid nanochromatography
2015
Following the present trends in miniaturization, a methodology that combines on-line In-Tube Solid-Phase Microextraction (IT-SPME) with Liquid Nanochromatography (nano-LC) and UV-vis diode array detection (DAD) was developed. This coupling was achieved by using two interconnected valves (i.e. conventional and micro-automatic valves) in the system of injection. As for IT-SPME, different materials, containing in some cases nanostructures or nanoparticles and in other cases polymeric adsorbent phases immobilized on capillary columns, were tested in order to improve extraction efficiencies of organic compounds; diclofenac was selected as the target analyte. Additionally, the transfer time of th…
In-tube solid phase microextraction coupled to miniaturized liquid chromatography for both, noble metal nanoparticle assessment and sensitive plasmon…
2021
Abstract Colorimetric localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) as analytical response is applied for a wide number of chemical sensors and biosensors. However, the dependence of different factors, such as size distribution of nanoparticles (NPs), shape, dielectric environment, inter-particle distance and matrix, among others, can provide non-reliable results by UV–vis spectrometry in complex matrices if NP assessment is not carried out, particularly at low levels of analyte concentrations. Miniaturized liquid chromatography, capillary (CapLC) and nano (NanoLC), coupled on line with in-tube solid phase microextraction (IT-SPME) is proposed for the first time for both, controlling suitabili…
In-tube solid-phase microextraction-capillary liquid chromatography as a solution for the screening analysis of organophosphorus pesticides in untrea…
2006
This paper describes a method for the selective screening of organophosphorus pesticides in water. In-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in an open capillary column coupled to capillary liquid chromatography (LC) with UV detection has been used to effect preconcentration, separation and detection of the analytes in the same assembly. For in-tube SPME two capillary columns of the same length and different internal diameters and coating thicknesses have been tested and compared, a 30 cm x 0.25 mm I.D., 0.25 micro m thickness coating column, and a 30 cm x 0.1 mm I.D., 0.1 micro m of coating thickness column. In both columns the coating was 95% dimethylpolysiloxane (PDMS)-5% diphenylpolysi…
Validation of a confirmatory method for the determination of macrolides in liver and kidney animal tissues in accordance with the European Union regu…
2006
Abstract This study proposes a simple multiresidue liquid chromatography–diode array detector (LC–DAD) method capable of determining seven macrolide antibiotics in samples of liver and kidney animals at concentrations lower than those allowed by current legislation. Samples were prepared by homogenizing the tissue with EDTA–McIlvaine's buffer and extracted with an Oasis HLB cartridge. The consumption of organic solvent during extraction was minimum. The analytes were detected by LC–DAD and also by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (LC–(ESI)MS). The method was specific, stable and robust enough for the required purposes. The DAD method was validated in acco…
o-Phthalaldehyde–N-acetylcysteine polyamine derivatives: formation and stability in solution and in C18 supports
2001
A comparative study of different derivatization procedures has been performed in order to improve the stability of the reaction products o-phthalaldehyde-N-acetylcysteine (OPA-NAC) polyamines. Procedures such as solution derivatization, solution derivatization followed by retention on a packing support, derivatization on different packing supports and on-column derivatization, have been optimized and compared. The degradation rate constant (k) of the derivative was dependent on the procedure used and on the analyte. For the spermine (the most unstable isoindol tested) k was 8 +/- 2 x 10(-2) min(-1) in solution versus 7.7 +/- 1.1 x 10(-4) min(-1) on the (C18) solid support. The results obtai…
