[PMID: 38750731 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Citizen scientist-based environmental monitoring and public education are becoming increasingly popular. However, current technologies for antibiotic-based novel contaminant identification are still restricted to laboratory sample collection and analysis due to detection methodologies and apparatus limitations. This study developed a time-resolved immunofluorescence-based simultaneous field-based assay for ciprofloxacin (CIP) and enrofloxacin (ENR) that matches test results to geographic locations. The assay helps the public understand the potential levels of antibiotic exposures in their environments and helps them take appropriate action to reduce risk. The assay was developed using smartphones and social software in addition to rapid testing. The method uses a portable, low-cost analytical kit with a smartphone app to build a field-based detection platform for the detection and analysis of ENR and CIP in water and aquatic products. The methodological evaluation was good, with detection limits of 0.4 ng/mL and 0.5 ng/g for ENR in water and fish, and quantification limits of 1.2 ng/mL and 1.4 ng/g, with recoveries of 89.0 %-101.0 % and 78.0 %-97.0 %. For CIP in water and fish, the limits of detection were 0.3 ng/mL and 0.4 ng/g, the limits of quantification were 0.9 ng/mL and 1.2 ng/g, and the recoveries were 75.0 %-91.0 % and 72.0 %-89.0 %, both with coefficients of variation <15 %. These limits were sufficient to prevent the two antibiotics from crossing over during simultaneous detection. The assay was validated using real samples to assess the effectiveness of the assay platform in field deployments, and the results were consistent with those obtained through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) techniques. In addition, the TRFIA assay process requires less time, uses more portable instruments, and is less complex than traditional methods. This study provides a new scientific, accurate, and rapid detection method for antibiotic detection by citizen scientists, helping scientists to obtain a wider range of data and providing more opportunities to solve scientific problems.

An efficient, green, and easy-to-scale-up strategy for target-oriented isolating cadinene sesquiterpenoids from Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng. J Sep Sci 2020; 43:2646-2656. [PMID: 32250541 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.201901245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
A green and efficient strategy was established and optimized for target-oriented extraction, enrichment and separation of cadinene sesquiterpenoids from Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng., using the combination of supercritical fluid extraction, molecular distillation, and industrial preparative chromatography for the first time. The extraction conditions of supercritical fluid extraction were initially optimized by orthogonal experimental design. Under the optimum conditions, the contents of 9-oxo-10,11-dehydroageraphorone and 10Hβ-9-oxo-ageraphorone, which were 55.00% and 6.01%, respectively, were much higher than conventional extraction methods. Then, the molecular distillation enrichment method was established and investigated by response surface methodology technology, which showed strong specificity for enriching target compounds and removing impurities from crude extracts. Under the optimum conditions of molecular distillation, total contents of cadinene sesquiterpenoids were increased to 89.19%. Finally, a total of 146 mg of 9-oxo-10,11-dehydroageraphorone and 29 mg of 10Hβ-9-oxo-ageraphorone were easily obtained by industrial preparative chromatography, from 200 mg of distillation fraction, with purities over 99%. The contents of target components were analyzed by HPLC, and structures of them were identified by high-resolution MS, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy. These results indicate that it is a simple, effective, and eco-friendly strategy, which is easily converted into industrial scale.

Abstract
Herein, a total online device based on field-assisted extraction (FAE), micro-solid-phase extraction (μ-SPE), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was designed. Solid samples were pretreated with ultrasound-microwave synergic effects, and then the extract was cleaned up online with a monolithic column, followed by HPLC analysis. The cross-actions between ultrasound and microwave along with other extraction parameters were studied systematically. The efficiency of this online method was verified in the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in foods and tetracycline antibiotics (TCAs) in cosmetic samples. The detection limits of nine PAHs including fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene were all within 0.075-0.30 μg/kg, as well as four TCAs including oxytetracycline, tetracycline, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline were within 0.02-0.06 μg/kg. Six PAHs were found in roast potatoes and baked fish and the recoveries were in the range of 71.5-119.7% with RSDs of 0.2-10.9% (n = 3). The recoveries for TCAs in cosmetic samples were in the range of 75.3-118.0% with RSDs lower than 8.2% (n = 3). Compared with those offline methods, this total online FAE-μ-SPE-HPLC method not only simplifies the operation process, but also increases the precision and accuracy. Beyond trace analytes analysis in solid and semi-solid matrixes, application of this total online analysis method can also be extended to investigate field-assisted extraction mechanisms.

[PMID: 28536641 PMCID: PMC5425840 DOI: 10.1155/2017/1352948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2016] [Revised: 02/11/2017] [Accepted: 03/16/2017] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
In the last two decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the global use of herbal medicinal products (HMPs) due to their claimed health benefits. This has led to increase in their demand and consequently, also, resulted in massive adulteration. This is due to the fact that most of the traditional methods cannot identify closely related species in a process product form. Therefore the urgent need for simple and rapid identification methods resulted in the discovery of a novel technique. DNA barcoding is a process that uses short DNA sequence from the standard genome for species identification. This technique is reliable and is not affected by external factors such as climates, age, or plant part. The difficulties in isolation of DNA of high quality in addition to other factors are among the challenges encountered using the DNA barcoding in the authentication of HMP. These limitations indicated that using DNA barcoding alone may ineffectively authenticate the HMP. Therefore, the combination of DNA barcoding with chromatographic fingerprint, a popular and generally accepted technique for the assessment and quality control of HMP, will offer an efficient solution to effectively evaluate the authenticity and quality consistency of HMP. Detailed and quality information about the main composition of the HMPs will help to ascertain their efficacy and safety as these are very important for quality control.
