Determination of abamectin in citrus fruits by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
2000
Liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-ES-MS) with positive ion detection was used to determine abamectin in oranges. MS conditions were optimized to achieve maximum sensitivity. The main ion for abamectin was [M+Na]+ at a fragmentor voltage of 180 V. Abundant structural information can be obtained at different fragmentor voltages. The detection limit for the standard solution was 12 pg injected, and good linearity and reproducibility were observed. Abamectin residues were extracted using matrix solid-phase dispersion. Orange samples were homogenized with C18 bonded silica placed onto a glass column and eluted with dichloromethane. Recoveries of the abamectin fr…
Selective and sentivive method based on capillary liquid chromatography with in-tube solid phase microextraction for determination of monochloramine …
2015
Abstract Due to the difficulties of working with chloramines, a critical examination of monochloramine standard preparation has been performed in order to select the best synthesis conditions. The analyte has been determined by in-tube solid phase extraction coupled to capillary liquid chromatography with UV detection (IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD). Potential factors affecting the response of monochloramine such as the pH of mobile phase and the volume of sample processed by IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD have been investigated and optimized. According to the results of the study, 0.1 mL or 4.0 mL of sample at neutral pH were loaded in the chromatographic system. A sensitive and selective method has …
Multimycotoxin LC-MS/MS Analysis in Tea Beverages after Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (DLLME).
2017
The aim of the present study was to develop a multimycotoxin liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction procedure (DLLME) for the analysis of AFs, 3aDON, 15aDON, NIV, HT-2, T-2, ZEA, OTA, ENNs, and BEA in tea beverages and to evaluate their mycotoxin contents. The proposed method was characterized in terms of linearity, limits of detection (LODs), limits of quantification (LOQs), recoveries, repeatability (intraday precision), reproducibility (interday precision), and matrix effects to check suitability. The results show LODs in the range of 0.05-10 μg/L, LOQs in the range of 0.2-33 μg/L, and recoveries in the range of 65…
Determination of benzoylurea insecticides in food by pressurized liquid extraction and LC-MS
2010
A method based on pressurized liquid extraction and LC-MS/MS has been developed for determining nine benzoylureas (BUs) in fruit, vegetable, cereals, and animal products. Samples (5 g) were homogenized with diatomaceous earth and extracted in a 22 mL cell with 22 mL of ethyl acetate at 80 degrees C and 1500 psi. After solvent concentration and exchange to methanol, BUs were analyzed by LC-MS/MS using an IT mass analyzer, which achieved several transitions of precursor ions that increase selectivity providing identification. LOQs were between 0.002 and 0.01 mg/kg, which are equal or lower than maximum residue limits established by the Codex Alimentarius. Excellent linearity was achieved over…
Capillary zone electrophoresis for the determination of thiabendazole, prochloraz and procymidone in grapes
2001
Capillary zone electrophoresis with UV detection was applied to the simultaneous determination of thiabendazole, prochloraz and procymidone in grapes. Electrolyte conditions such as pH, composition and concentration of the buffer, addition of organic solvent and working voltage were checked to obtain a high-performance separation of the three fungicides (by measurement of separation efficiency and resolution). The most critical parameter was the pH of the running buffer. The best separation was achieved in 4 mM phosphate solution at pH 3.5. The repeatability of the migration times, expressed as RSD, was <0.44%. The three peaks were completely resolved with a separation efficiency up to 100 …
Determination of type A and type B trichothecenes in paprika and chili pepper using LC-triple quadrupole-MS and GC-ECD.
2011
There is a need to develop sensitive and accurate analytical methods for determining deoxynivalenol (DON), HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin in paprika to properly assess the relevant risk of human exposure. An optimized analytical method for determination of HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin using capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection and another method for determination of DON by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in paprika was developed. The method for determination of HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin that gave the best recoveries involved extraction of the sample with acetonitrile-water (84:16, v/v), clean-up by solid-phase extraction on a cartridge made of different sorbent material…
Non-chromatographic speciation of inorganic arsenic in mushrooms by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry
2009
Abstract A non-chromatographic speciation method has been developed for the determination of inorganic arsenic in cultivated and wild mushroom samples from different origins. The ultrasound-assisted extraction of the toxic arsenic species As (III) and As (V) was performed for 10 min with 1 mol l −1 H 3 PO 4 and 0.1% (m/v) Triton X-100. After phase separation the residue was washed with 0.1% (w/v) EDTA and centrifuged. As (III) and As (V) were determined by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Speciation was made using proportional equations corresponding to two different measurement conditions, (i) directly feeding sample extracts diluted with HCl and (ii) after reduction wi…
Multi-class determination of antimicrobials in meat by pressurized liquid extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
2008
A multi-residue method using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for determining trace levels of 31 antimicrobials, including beta-lactams, lincosamides, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, nitroimidazoles and trimethoprim. The extraction method required pre-homogeneization of the meat with EDTA-washed sand and subsequent one-static-cycle extraction for 10 min with 40 ml of water at 1500 psi and 70 degrees C. The effect of operation temperature, pressure, flush volume, and static cycles on PLE performance was studied. Average recoveries ranged from 75 to 99% with relative standard deviations <1…
Determination of the new psychoactive substance dichloropane in saliva by microextraction by packed sorbent – Ion mobility spectrometry
2018
Abstract A simple procedure based on microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) has been proposed for the extraction of dichloropane in oral fluids and its determination by ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). Extraction conditions such as type of sorbent (octyl and octadecyl silica), sample pH, number of sample loadings, and elution volume were evaluated to obtain the most appropriate values. Dichloropane was extracted from saliva samples using C8 MEPS, loading with 100 μL sample (adjusted to pH 7) in 4 cycles, washing with 100 μL deionized water, and eluting with 50 μL 2-propanol in 10 cycles. The proposed MEPS procedure has been validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, and precision. A limit…
Indirect Determination of Cyanide by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
1995
Abstract Two methods for determination of cyanide by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) are developed. Both methods are based on the formation of an ion association compound between a metal complex, (Ag(CN)2 − or Cu(CN)3 2-), and a quaternary ammonium ion (benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium ion). The ion association compound is extracted into isomethylbutylketone (IBMK) and the metal is determined by AAS directly in extract. The method based on the formation of silver cyanide complex provides a reproducibility of 2.5%, a recovery of 99% and a detection limit of 1.7 μg/L while the method based on the formation of copper complex gives a reproducibility of 6%, a recovery of 93% and a detection …
