Morales N, Thickett SC, Maya F. Effect of crosslinker/porogen ratio on sponge-nested polymer monoliths for solid-phase extraction. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1730:465124. [PMID: 38959657 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Polymer monoliths can be polymerised within different molds, but limited options are available for the preparation of free-standing polymer monoliths for analytical sample preparation, and in particular, solid-phase extraction (SPE). Commercial melamine-formaldehyde sponges can be used as supports for the preparation of polymer monoliths, due its flexibility, giving various shapes to monoliths. Herein, the crosslinker/porogen ratio of highly porous sponge-nested divinylbenzene (DVB) polymer monoliths has been evaluated. Monoliths prepared using different crosslinker/porogen ratios were applied to the extraction of bisphenol F, bisphenol A, bisphenol AF, and bisphenol B. Monoliths containing 50 wt % DVB and 50 wt % porogens presented the highest recovery of bisphenols. Under the optimised conditions, the developed method showed a linear range between 2.5 µg L-1 and 150 µg L-1 for BPA and BPAF, and between 5 µg L-1 and 150 µg L-1 for BPB and BPF. The limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and limits of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) ranged from 0.36 µg L-1 to 1.09 µg L-1, and from 1.20 µg L-1 to 3.65 µg L-1, respectively. The recoveries for spiked bisphenols (10 µg L-1) in tap water and water contained in a polycarbonate containers were between 82 % and 114 %.

Adhikari S, Berger SN, Rustum AM. Development of Relatively Simple Sample Pretreatment Strategies to Selectively Remove Chromatographic Interfering Peaks of Polysorbate 80 from Liquid Oral Finished Drug Product. J Chromatogr Sci 2024; 62:593-599. [PMID: 37592908 DOI: 10.1093/chromsci/bmad064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
Polysorbate 80 (PS 80) is a nonionic surfactant, used in myriad of pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic formulations. PS 80 components have strong UV absorbance and retain under reversed-phase chromatographic conditions, significantly masking sections of the chromatogram. PS 80-related peaks interferences in a sample are common and can be difficult to separate from the analyte peaks. A liquid oral finished product (LOFP) containing PS 80 and Ivermectin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was selected for this study. Herein, we report two sample pretreatment strategies focusing on the selective removal of PS 80 from the LOFP. Both methods significantly reduce and/or practically eliminate excipients and PS 80-related peaks interferences from the LOFP without a negative impact on the API and its key-related substances recovery. The solid-phase extraction (SPE) strategy uses a C18 SPE followed by a silica gel SPE, whereas the liquid-liquid extraction strategy uses in situ-generated sodium caprylate for the removal of formulation excipients and PS 80. These methods can significantly increase the reliability of high-performance liquid chromatography methods and decrease false positive out-of-specifications events because of coelution of PS 80-related peaks with peaks of interest.

Abstract
The extraction efficiencies of thirty types of fibers produced by meltblown, alternating current electrospinning, and meltblown-co-electrospinning technologies were tested as advanced sorbents for on-line solid-phase extraction in a high-performance liquid chromatography system have been tested and compared with a commercial C18 sorbent. The properties of each fiber, which were often depended on the production process, and their applicability were demonstrated with the extraction of the model analytes nitrophenols and chlorophenols from various matrices including river water and to purify complex matrix human serum and bovine serum albumin from macromolecular ballast. Polycaprolactone fibers outperformed other polymers and were selected for subsequent modifications including (i) incorporation of hybrid carbon nanoparticles, i.e., graphene, activated carbon, and carbon black into the polymer prior to fiber fabrication, and (ii) surface modification by dip coating with polyhydroxy modifiers including graphene oxide, tannin, dopamine, hesperidin, and heparin. These novel fibrous sorbents were comparable to commercial C18 sorbent and provided excellent analyte recoveries of 70-112% even from the protein-containing matrices.

Abstract
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are a class of chemicals widely used as plasticizers. These compounds, considered toxic, do not bond to the polymeric matrix of plastic and can, therefore, migrate into the surrounding environment, posing a risk to human health. The primary source of human exposure is food, which can become contaminated during cultivation, production, and packaging. Therefore, it is imperative to control and regulate this exposure. This review covers the analytical methods used for their determination in two economically significant products: olive oil and wine. Additionally, it provides a summary and analysis of information regarding the characteristics, toxicity, effects on human health, and current regulations pertaining to PAEs in food. Various approaches for the extraction, purification, and quantification of these analytes are highlighted. Solvent and sorbent-based extraction techniques are reviewed, as are the chromatographic separation and other methods currently applied in the analysis of PAEs in wines and olive oils. The analysis of these contaminants is challenging due to the complexities of the matrices and the widespread presence of PAEs in analytical laboratories, demanding the implementation of appropriate strategies.

Abstract
Lipids play important biological roles, such as providing essential fatty acids and signaling. The wide variety and structural diversity of lipids, and the limited technical means to study them, have seriously hampered the resolution of the mechanisms of action of lipids. With advances in mass spectrometry (MS) and bioinformatic technologies, large amounts of lipids have been detected and analyzed quickly using MS-based lipidomic techniques. Milk lipids, as complex structural metabolites, play a crucial role in human health. In this review, the lipidomic techniques and their applications to dairy products, including compositional analysis, quality identification, authenticity identification, and origin identification, are discussed, with the aim of providing technical support for the development of dairy products.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the efficiency of a phosphonium-based strong anion exchange sorbent for the extraction of some selected phenolic acids. The material was synthesized through chloromethylation of a porous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) substrate with high degree of crosslinking, followed by quaternarization with tributyl phosphine. The parameters affecting the solid phase extraction of five phenolic acids, namely chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, dihydroxybenzoic acid, ferulic acid and rosmarinic acid were optimized. The sample pH and the type, volume and concentration of the eluting solutions were investigated. The analysis of the phenolic acids after extraction was performed using HPLC with diode array detection. Limit of detection, limit of quantitation, linear range, correlation coefficient and reproducibility for the determination of the phenolic acids were estimated. The retention of the phenolic acids on the developed phase was studied using breakthrough analysis. The experimental breakthrough curves were fitted by Boltzmann's function, and the regression parameters were utilized for the determination of the breakthrough parameters. The results obtained using the developed phase were compared with those obtained by the commercially available Oasis MAX sorbent. The proposed approach was successfully applied for the extraction and pre-concentration of rosmarinic acid from rosemary leaf (Rosmarini folium) alcoholic extract.

Abstract
An online solid-phase extraction (SPE) liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method (HPLC-MS/MS) combined with accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) was developed for simultaneous determination of 14 pharmaceuticals in sludge. In the online SPE procedures, ultrapure water with no additives was used as the loading solvent. In addition, low molecular weight targets such as atenolol were difficult to retain on SPE column after acetone was added to the washing solvent. The response signal of analytes can be greatly improved by adding 0.2% formic acid to the mobile phase. Under the optimized conditions, the recoveries of all the analytes ranged between 75.1 and 112%. Moreover, the limit of detections ranged from 1.8 to 7.9 ug/kg. The precision of analytical data was determined with relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 4.87%. This method was successfully applied to determine the concentration of pharmaceuticals in sludge.

Abstract
Benzotriazoles (BTRs), benzothiazoles (BTHs), and benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbers (BUVs) are common products in plastic rubber and personal care products. Due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation, they have been identified as emerging contaminants (ECs) in the environment. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used for the enrichment and detection of the contaminants in seawater and sediment, respectively. The conditions of SPE and SPME were optimized in terms of material, temperature, time, pH, ionic strength, extraction solvent, and elution solvent. Although SPME requires a small sample volume, it is not reliable for the extraction efficiency and reproducibility of BTHs, BTRs, and BUVs in seawater. However, the precision of SPE-GC-MS for the determination of BTHs, BTRs, and BUVs was around 10%, with recoveries of 67.40-102.3% and 77.35-101.8% in seawater and sediment, respectively. The limits of detection of 14 contaminants in seawater and sediment were 0.03-0.47 ng/L and 0.01-0.58 ng/g, respectively. Secondly, BTHs, BTRs, and BUVs were detected with low ecological risk when SPE-GC-MS was applied to the analysis of seawater and sediment samples from the Yangtze estuary and its adjacent areas. The SPE-GC-MS was highly precise with lower detection limits relative to previous studies and thus was able to meet the requirements for the detection of BTHs, BTRs, and BUVs in seawater and sediments.

Abstract
Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) are amongst the most common earthy and musty taste and odour (T&O) compounds found in drinking water. With low odour threshold detection limits below 10 ng L-1, and the complexity of raw water matrices, these two compounds provide a significant challenge for water companies globally. In this research, for the first time, a novel and fully automated micro-solid phase-extraction (μSPE) method coupled with gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) has been developed for the detection of geosmin and 2-MIB for drinking water analysis. The new automated method described herein is environmentally friendly requiring low raw water sample volumes, of 25 mL, and only 50 μL of elution solvent. Our μSPE-GC-MS method exhibits excellent linearity for both compounds (R2 > 0.999) and low limits of detection of 2.0 ng L-1 and 4.3 ng L-1 for geosmin and 2-MIB, respectively. The method showed excellent recovery rates (95.1-100.1%) and good precision (RSD < 7%) in raw sample matrices. Our approach is fully automated onto a robotic workstation which can be readily integrated into a laboratory workflow for routine water analysis. Furthermore, the method has excellent potential to be incorporated within a portable system for onsite analysis.

Abstract
Fruits are vital parts of the human diet because they include necessary nutrients that the body needs. Pesticide use has increased dramatically in recent years to combat fruit pests across the world. Pesticide usage during production, on the other hand, frequently results in undesirable residues in fruits after harvest. Consumers are concerned about pesticide residues since most of the fruits are directly consumed and even recommended for the patients as dietary supplements. As a result of this worry, pesticide residues in fruits are being randomly monitored to re-assess the food safety situation and make informed legislative decisions. To assess the degree of pesticide residues in fruits, a simple and quick analytical procedure is usually required. As a result, pesticide residue detection (using various analytical techniques: GC, LC and Biosensors) becomes critical, and regulatory directives are formed to regulate their amounts via the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL). Over the previous two decades, a variety of extraction techniques and analytical methodologies for xenobiotic's efficient extraction, identification, confirmation and quantification have been developed, ranging from traditional to advanced. The goal of this review is to give readers an overview of the evolution of numerous extraction and detection methods for pesticide residue analysis in fruits. The objective is to assist analysts in better understanding how the ever-changing regulatory landscape might drive the need for new analytical methodologies to be developed in order to comply with current standards and safeguard consumers.

Abstract
Polymer monoliths are an alternative to traditional particle-packed supports used in solid-phase extraction because of their ease of preparation, high porosity, and pH stability. They often required the attachment of monoliths to a support, such as the internal walls of a column to enable their use for sample preparation. Applications of free-standing polymer monoliths are rarely found because of their limited mechanical stability. Herein, divinylbenzene monoliths were polymerised within a commercial melamine-formaldehyde sponge using different polymerisation times. The sponge-nested polymer monoliths are highly robust, and their size and shape can be easily adjusted for desired applications. The prepared sponge-nested polymer monoliths had surface areas in the range of 237 m2 g-1 to 369 m2 g-1. A melamine-formaldehyde sponge cut into 1 cm3 cubes were used to template the polymer monoliths. Miniaturized monoliths with a size of 0.125 cm3 were directly cut from the larger cubes without compromising the integrity of the porous monolith structure. The resulting nested monolith sorptive extraction (NMSE) supports were applied for the extraction of the endocrine disruptors bisphenol A, 4-tert-butylphenol, and 4-tert-octylphenol. The prepared sponge-nested monoliths are low-cost (40 monoliths/AU$). NMSE was carried out by the direct immersion of the monoliths in the aqueous standards/samples, requiring only an orbital shaker for the extraction procedure. Best performance was obtained for polymer monoliths polymerized for 6 h, enabling limits of detection of 5.6 to 6.5 µg L-1 for the selected analysis using HPLC-UV.

Abstract
Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) as extraordinary compounds with unique features have presented a wide range of applications and benefits to researchers. In particular when used as a sorbent in sample preparation methods for the analysis of biological samples and complex matrices. Its application in the extraction of medicinal species has attracted much attention and a growing interest. This review focus on articles and research that deals with the application of MIPs in the analysis of components such as biomarkers, drugs, hormones, blockers and inhibitors, especially in biological matrices. The studies based on MIP applications in bioanalysis and the deployment of MIPs in high-throughput settings and optimization of extraction methods are presented. A review of more than 200 articles and research works clearly shows that the superiority of MIP techniques lies in high accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity, speed and cost effectiveness which make them suitable for clinical usage. Furthermore, this review present MIP-based extraction techniques and MIP-biosensors which are categorized on their classes based on common properties of target components. Extraction methods, studied sample matrices, target analytes, analytical techniques and their results for each study are described. Investigations indicate satisfactory results using MIP-based bioanalysis. According to the increasing number of studies on method development over the last decade, the use of MIPs in bioanalysis is growing and will further expand the scope of MIP applications for less studied samples and analytes.

Abstract
This study employed the response surface methodology to optimize the extraction conditions for recovering vitamins D2 and K1 from green leafy vegetables using ultrasonication-assisted extraction. The vitamin content was determined using an Accucore C18 column and a UPLC-Q-ToF/MS method. An RSM-I-Optimal design was used for designing the experiment to find the best combination of solvent level (mL), sonication time (min), sonication frequency (kHz), and temperature (°C). The experimental data from a 25-sample set were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis. The extraction models had R2 values of 0.895 and 0.896, respectively, and the probability values (p < 0.0001) indicated that the regression model was highly significant. The optimal extraction conditions were: solvent level of 65 mL, sonication time of 45 min, sonication frequency of 70 kHz, and temperature of 45 °C. Under these conditions, the predicted recovery (%) values for vitamins D2 and K1 were 90.7% and 90.4%, respectively. This study has the potential to use the reported extraction method for routine quantification of vitamins D2 and K1 in the laboratory using UPLC-Q-ToF/MS.

Abstract
UV-induced formation of photoproducts in DNA is a major initiating event of skin cancer. Consequently, many analytical tools have been developed for their quantification in DNA. In the present work, we extended our previous liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to the quantification of the short DNA fragments containing photoproducts that are released from cells by the repair machinery. We designed a robust protocol including a solid-phase extraction step (SPE), an enzymatic treatment aimed at releasing individual photoproducts, and a liquid chromatography method combining on-line SPE and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography for optimal specificity and sensitivity. We also added relevant internal standards for a better accuracy. The method was validated for linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility. The limits of detection and quantification were found to be in the fmol range. The proof of concept of the use of excreted DNA repair products as biomarkers of the genotoxicity of UV was obtained first in in vitro studies using cultured HaCat cells and ex vivo on human skin explants. Further evidence was obtained from the detection of pyrimidine dimers in the urine of human volunteers collected after recreational exposure in summer. An assay was designed to quantify the DNA photoproducts released from cells within short fragments by the DNA repair machinery. These oligonucleotides were isolated by solid-phase extraction and enzymatically hydrolyzed. The photoproducts were then quantified by on-line SPE combined with UHPLC-MS/MS with isotopic dilution.

Abstract
Despite an outstanding agent for control of Lepidoptera, the diamide insecticide cyclaniliprole (CYCP) is a suspected carcinogen. In the present study, an analytical method was developed for the determination of CYCP in six fruits and vegetables (apple, grape, peach, bell pepper, lettuce, and tomato) using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Sample preparation was carried out by the acetonitrile-salting-out extraction followed by simple and fast cleanup of disposable pipette extraction tip containing styrene divinyl benzene and/or graphitized carbon black. Satisfactory linearity (r > 0.99) was obtained in the calibration range of 0.001−1 µg mL−1. Matrix effects decreased from −9.9−−17.9% to −1.0−−7.6% after the cleanup. The recoveries of CYCP at three spike levels (0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg kg−1) from different matrices were between 75.7% and 111.5%, with the intra-day (n = 5) and inter-day (n = 15) relative standard deviations lower than 12.1%. The limit of quantification was 0.01 mg kg−1. The developed method provides a good reference for routine monitoring of CYCP in these fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
The detection of analytes in complex organic matrices requires a series of analytical steps to obtain a reliable analysis. Sample preparation can be the most time-consuming, prolonged, and error-prone step, reducing the reliability of the investigation. This review aims to discuss the advantages and limitations of extracting bioactive compounds, sample preparation techniques, automation, and coupling with on-line detection. This review also evaluates all publications on this topic through a longitudinal bibliometric analysis, applying statistical and mathematical methods to analyze the trends, perspectives, and hot topics of this research area. Furthermore, state-of-the-art green extraction techniques for complex samples from vegetable matrices coupled with analysis systems are presented. Among the extraction techniques for liquid samples, solid-phase extraction was the most common for combined systems in the scientific literature. In contrast, for on-line extraction systems applied for solid samples, supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and pressurized liquid extraction were the most frequent green extraction techniques.

Abstract
Over the past few years, antiviral drugs against influenza are considered emerging contaminants since they cause environmental toxicity even at low concentrations. They have been found in environmental matrices all around the world, showing that conventional treatment methods fail to remove them from water and wastewater. In addition, the metabolites and transformation products of these drugs can be more persistent than original in the environment. Several techniques to degrade/remove antiviral drugs against influenza have been investigated to prevent this contamination. In this study, the characteristics of antiviral drugs against influenza, their measurement by analytical methods, and their removal in both water and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were presented. Different treatment methods, such as traditional procedures (biological processes, filtration, coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), adsorption and combined methods, were assessed. Ecotoxicological effects of both the antiviral drug and its metabolites as well as the transformation products formed as a result of treatment were evaluated. In addition, future perspectives for improving the removal of antiviral drugs against influenza, their metabolites and transformation products were further discussed. The research indicated that the main tested techniques in this study were ozonation, photolysis and photocatalysis. Combined methods, particularly those that use renewable energy and waste materials, appear to be the optimum approach for the treatment of effluents containing antiviral drugs against influenza. In light of high concentrations or probable antiviral resistance, this comprehensive assessment suggests that antiviral drug monitoring is required, and some of those substances may cause toxicological effects.

Abstract
Extraction of photoinitiators (PIs) from food paper packages is difficult since they normally hide inside multiple ink layers. A one-step FastPrep-based extraction in combination with GC-MS was developed to simultaneously measure 18 PIs in food paper packaging materials. FastPrep-based extraction enabled direct and efficient release of PIs from raw paperboard in a minute without additional procedures. It was simple, high-throughput, consuming less solvent and not requiring heat or radiation. GC-MS using selected ion monitoring provided identification of PIs with high selectivity. The LODs and LOQs for 18 PIs ranged from 0.060 to 0.614 mg/kg, and 0.197-2.027 mg/kg, respectively. The method was successfully applied for various real samples, and the spiked recoveries using different real sample matrices ranged from 93.3% to 110.1%. The developed method can thus be used for the quality control of PI residues in paper packaging materials of food products.

Abstract
Food safety is a rising challenge worldwide due to the expanding population and the need to produce food to feed the growing population. At the same time, pesticide residues found in high concentrations in fresh agriculture pose a significant threat to food safety. Presently, crop output is being increased by applying herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers, nematicides, and soil amendments. A combination of factors, including bioaccumulation, widespread usage, selective toxicity, and stability, make pesticides among the most toxic compounds polluting the environment. They are especially harmful in vegetables and fruits because people are exposed to them. Thus, it is critical to monitor pesticide levels in fruits and vegetables using all analytical techniques available. Any evaluation of the condition of pesticide contamination in fruits and vegetables necessitates knowledge of maximum residue levels (MRLs). We set out the problems in determining various types of pesticides in vegetables and fruits, including the complexity and the diversity of matrices in biological materials. This review examines the different analytical techniques to determine the target analytes that must be isolated before final consumption. Many processes involved determining pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables and their advantages and disadvantages have been discussed with recommendations. Furthermore, MRLs of target pesticide residues in fruit and vegetable samples are discussed in the context of data from the literature. The review also examines MRLs' impact on the international trade of fruits and vegetables. Accurate, sensitive, and robust analytical procedures are critical to ensuring that pesticide levels in food products are effectively regulated. Despite advances in detection technology, effective sample preparation procedures for pesticide residue measurement in cereals and feedstuffs are still needed. In addition, these methods must be compatible with current analytical techniques. Multi-residue approaches that cover a wide range of pesticides are desired, even though pesticides' diverse natures, classes, and physio-chemical characteristics make such methods challenging to assemble. This review will be valuable to food analysts and regulatory authorities to monitor the quality and safety of fresh food products.

Abstract
Identifying disinfection byproducts (DBPs) with high health risk is an unresolved challenge. In this study, six members of a new class of aromatic nitrogenous DBPs─2-chloroaniline, 2-bromoaniline, 2,4-dichloroaniline, 2-chloro-4-bromoaniline, 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline, and 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline─are reported as DBPs in drinking water for the first time. Haloanilines completely degraded within 1 h in the presence of chlorine (1 mg/L), while about 20% remained in the presence of chloramine (1 mg/L) after 120 h. Haloanilines showed high stability in the absence of disinfectants, with <30% degradation at pH 5-9 over 120 h. Eight haloanilines were determined in chloraminated finished water and tap water at total concentrations of up to 443 ng/L. The most abundant was 2-bromoaniline, with a median concentration of 104 ng/L. The cytotoxicity of eight haloanilines and regulated trichloromethane and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) was evaluated using Hep G2 cell assay. The EC50 values of eight haloanilines were 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than those of the regulated DBPs. The lowest toxic concentration of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline was 1 μM, 500 times lower than that of DCAA. The formation and control of haloanilines in drinking water warrant further investigation.

Kürzl C, Wohlschläger H, Schiffer S, Kulozik U. Concentration, purification and quantification of milk protein residues following cleaning processes using a combination of SPE and RP-HPLC. MethodsX 2022; 9:101695. [PMID: 35492213 PMCID: PMC9043403 DOI: 10.1016/j.mex.2022.101695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Detection and quantification of milk protein residues can be of utmost importance for validation of cleaning process efficiency in removing even traces of residues as well as quality assurance and product safety. However, currently available assays cannot provide a combination of high sensitivity and a simultaneous quantification of the individual milk proteins. Furthermore, a low protein-to-protein-variability and high compatibility with other reagents such as residual cleaning agents (e.g. surfactants) cannot be ensured. Therefore, a new method was developed comprised of a pre-concentration of proteins by solid-phase extraction and optimisation of the sensitivity of an existing reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method for the separate quantification of bovine milk proteins κ-Casein, αS2-Casein, αS1-Casein, β-Casein, α-Lactalbumin, and β-Lactoglobulin. Hereby, solid-phase extraction enables robust and reproducible purification and concentration of protein residues with a high protein recovery rate and flexible adjustment of concentration factors. The increased sensitivity of the reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method was achieved by changes in the measurement wavelength and guanidine buffer concentration. This new method enables reproducible concentration, purification and quantification of protein concentrations below 7 ng mL−1 and thus can be used to detect milk protein residues in highly diluted aqueous systems.Concentration, purification and quantification of milk protein residues with a high recovery rate of proteins (> 94%) and high reproducibility (coefficient of variation (CV) < 3.0%) Flexible adjustment of sample volumes allows the utilisation of high concentration factors (≤ 500) without compromising the recovery rate of proteins (recovery rate of proteins decreases by 2.74% per 100 CF)

Abstract
The process of method development for a diagnostic assay based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) involves several disparate technologies and specialties. Additionally, method development details are typically not disclosed in journal publications. Method developers may need to search widely for pertinent information on their assay(s). This review summarizes the current practices and procedures in method development. Additionally, it probes aspects of method development that are generally not discussed, such as how exactly to calibrate an assay or where to place quality controls, using examples from the literature. This review intends to provide a comprehensive resource and induce critical thinking around the experiments for and execution of developing a clinically meaningful LC-MS/MS assay.

Abstract
Achieving simultaneous determination of antibiotic multiresidues in environmental waters by solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) with detection limits ≤ ng L-1 is still a huge challenge. Moreover, the offline SPE procedure was performed manually, costly, and time-consuming, while the online SPE required precision pretreatment instruments that require highly-skilled personnel. In this paper, a fully automated SPE coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for analysis of antibiotics (sulfonamides, quinolones, and macrolides) in water matrices. Sample preparation optimization included SPE materials and configuration (HLB disks), sample volume (500-1000 mL), and pH (pH = 3) with a flow rate at 2~5 mL min-1, and an elution procedure with 2 × 6 mL methanol, and 2 × 6 mL acetone. Meanwhile, the parameters for UHPLC-MS/S detection of analytes were optimized, including LC retention time, and MS parameters. The instrumental limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of analytes ranged from 0.01-0.72 μg L-1 and 0.05-2.39 μg L-1, respectively, with satisfactory linear calibration (R2 > 0.995) and precision (< 9.9%). Recoveries in spike samples ranged between 77.5-104.9% in pure water, 59.4-97.8% in surface water (SW), and 58.2-108.6% in wastewater effluent (WWE) with relative standard deviations ≤ 12.8%. The matrix effects observed for most analytes were suppression (0-28.1%) except for five analytes having presented enhancement (0-14.6 %) in SW or WWE. This method can basically meet the needs of trace antibiotic residues detection in waters, with examples of concentrations of detected antibiotics being lower than LOQ (LLQ) -94.47 ng L-1 in WWEs and LLQ-15.47 ng L-1 in SW in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin.

Abstract
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have detrimental health effects such as cancer and mutation, abound in rivers. To employ effective mitigation strategies, accurate determination of PAHs in water bodies is essential. In this study, PAHs in the Batman River were investigated. Specifically, the study has two aims: (1) determining whether there are any statistical differences between the Liquid-liquid (LL) and Solid-phase (SP) extraction techniques of PAHs; and (2) investigation of PAH contamination and the potential sources of PAHs in the Batman River. Methodologically, four different samples were collected and one part of each sample was extracted with the LL and the other part with the SP. Later, each extract was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the analysis results of the LL and SP extracts were statistically compared. PAH concentrations were 85.5 and 76.7 ng/L for the means of the LL and SP extracts, respectively. Based on the t-test, the differences between these two means were not significant (p-value=0.684 > 0.05). Similarly, no statistical differences were observed between the analysis results of the LL and SP extracts for any individual PAHs. As for the source analysis, the results indicated that road vehicles and coal combustion were the possible sources of PAH contamination in the river. This study provides the first data set for PAH contamination in the Batman River.

Abstract
Sensitive and selective detection of chemical and biological analytes is critical in various scientific and technological fields. As an emerging class of multifunctional materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with their unique properties of chemical modularity, large surface area, high stability, low density, and tunable pore sizes and functionalities, which together define their programmable properties, show promise in advancing chemical detection. This review demonstrates the recent progress in chemical detection where COFs constitute an integral component of the achieved function. This review highlights how the unique properties of COFs can be harnessed to develop different types of chemical detection systems based on the principles of chromism, luminescence, electrical transduction, chromatography, spectrometry, and others to achieve highly sensitive and selective detection of various analytes, ranging from gases, volatiles, ions, to biomolecules. The key parameters of detection performance for target analytes are summarized, compared, and analyzed from the perspective of the detection mechanism and structure-property-performance correlations of COFs. Conclusions summarize the current accomplishments and analyze the challenges and limitations that exist for chemical detection under different mechanisms. Perspectives on how future directions of research can advance the COF-based chemical detection through innovation in novel COF design and synthesis, progress in device fabrication, and exploration of novel modes of detection are also discussed.

Abstract
The analysis of viral nucleic acids (NA), DNA or RNA, is a crucial issue in the diagnosis of infections and the treatment and prevention of related human diseases. Conventional nucleic acid tests (NATs) require multistep approaches starting from the purification of the pathogen genetic material in biological samples to the end of its detection, basically performed by the consolidated polymerase chain reaction (PCR), by the use of specialized instruments and dedicated laboratories. However, since the current NATs are too constraining and time and cost consuming, the research is evolving towards more integrated, decentralized, user-friendly, and low-cost methods. These will allow the implementation of massive diagnoses addressing the growing demand of fast and accurate viral analysis facing such global alerts as the pandemic of coronavirus disease of the recent period. Silicon-based technology and microfluidics, in this sense, brought an important step up, leading to the introduction of the genetic point-of-care (PoC) systems. This review goes through the evolution of the analytical methods for the viral NA diagnosis of infection diseases, highlighting both advantages and drawbacks of the innovative emerging technologies versus the conventional approaches.

Abstract
Pterocephalus hookeri, a classical Tibetan herb, is mainly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and contains various constituents potentially with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibition. A novel strategy for screening and target separating COX-2 inhibitors from the extracts of P. hookeri based on affinity solid-phase extraction (ASPE) column combined with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (pre-HPLC) was successfully developed. The potential COX-2 inhibitors of P. hookeri were screened and recognized by the ASPE-HPLC system, which strategy is to analyze the compounds isolated by the ASPE column. Then, the active compounds were targeted separated by pre-HPLC according to real-time chromatograms. The control drugs celecoxib and glipizide were analyzed to verify the specificity and accuracy of the developed method. As a result, two pure compounds with COX-2 binding affinities were successfully separated from P. hookeri. They were characterized as swertisin and scopoletin using 1H- and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and the in vitro COX-2 inhibitory activities were verified. Compounds with COX-2 inhibitory activities could be screened and targeted separated from crude extracts by this strategy, which indicated that the proposed method was feasible, robust and effective for rapid separation of COX-2 inhibitors from natural products.

Abstract
For the quantification of the pineal hormone melatonin and its metabolite, 6-hydroxymelatonin, in human overnight urine, a single accurate method by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed. Urine samples were deconjugated using β-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase from Helix pomatia before solid phase extraction (SPE) purification. Chromatographic separation was performed using a reverse phase C18 column with a 7-minute gradient elution. Water was used as matrix to prepare the calibration standards, and deuterated analogues of melatonin and 6-hydroxymelatonin were used as internal standards. This newly developed method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, repeatability, intermediate precision, recovery, matrix effect, and stability according to the guidelines of the European Medicines Agency. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of overnight urine samples from 12 healthy volunteers, showing significant correlations of urinary melatonin and 6-hydroxymelatonin excretion rates with age. The urinary 6-hydroxymelatonin to melatonin ratio was also established and will be assessed in further studies as a potential endogenous metric of CYP1A2 activity.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) as carrier was synthesized and used for the enrichment and determination of ferulic acid (FA) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The morphology and structure of the FA magnetic carbon nanotubes-molecularly imprinted polymers (MCNTs@FA-MIPs) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results demonstrated that the prepared MCNTs@FA-MIPs had excellent magnetic properties and uniform appearance. The adsorption properties of the novel MIP were studied by kinetic, and isothermal adsorption experiments. The results showed that the MCNTs@FA-MIPs exhibited relatively good uptake kinetics (equilibrium time, 2 h), high adsorption capacity (50 mg⋅g-1), fast separation, and good selectivity for the template molecule with a separation factor α of 1.73. The MCNTs@FA-MIPs combined with HPLC were successfully applied to the separation, enrichment, and determination of FA in a Ligusticum chuanxiong extract and in plasma of rats which had been administered with Taitai beauty essence. The recoveries for FA were 95.53-100.03 % with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 5.5%. The results confirmed that the proposed MCNTs@FA-MIPs offered efficient extraction of FA from traditional Chinese medicinal preparations and blood samples and with high specificity.

Abstract
Improvements in both liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation have greatly enhanced proteomic and small molecule metabolomic analysis in recent years. Less focus has been on the improved capability to detect and quantify small bioactive peptides, even though the exact sequences of the peptide species produced can have important biological consequences. Endogenous bioactive peptide hormones, for example, are generated by the targeted and regulated cleavage of peptides from their prohormone sequence. This process may include organ specific variants, as proglucagon is converted to glucagon in the pancreas but glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the small intestine, with glucagon raising, whereas GLP-1, as an incretin, lowering blood glucose. Therefore, peptidomics workflows must preserve the structure of the processed peptide products to prevent the misidentification of ambiguous peptide species. The poor in vivo and in vitro stability of peptides in biological matrices is a major factor that needs to be considered when developing methods to study them. The bioinformatic analysis of peptidomics data sets requires the inclusion of specific post-translational modifications, which are critical for the function of many bioactive peptides. This review aims to discuss and contrast the various extraction, analytical, and bioinformatics approaches used for human peptidomics studies in a multitude of matrices.

Abstract
This review article compares and contrasts sample preparation techniques coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and describes applications developed in biomedical, forensics, and environmental/industrial hygiene in the last two decades. The proper sample preparation technique can offer valued data for a targeted application when coupled to HPLC and a suitable detector. Improvements in sample preparation techniques in the last two decades have resulted in efficient extraction, cleanup, and preconcentration in a single step, thus providing a pathway to tackle complex matrix applications. Applications such as biological therapeutics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, environmental/industrial hygiene, forensics, glycan cleanup, etc., have been significantly enhanced due to improved sample preparation techniques. This review looks at the early sample preparation techniques. Further, it describes eight sample preparation technique coupled to HPLC that has gained prominence in the last two decades. They are (1) solid-phase extraction (SPE), (2) liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), (3) gel permeation chromatography (GPC), (4) Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged, Safe (QuEChERS), (5) solid-phase microextraction (SPME), (6) ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction (UASE), and (7) microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MWASE). SPE, LLE, GPC, QuEChERS, and SPME can be used offline and online with HPLC. UASE and MWASE can be used offline with HPLC but have also been combined with the online automated techniques of SPE, LLE, GPC, or QuEChERS for targeted analysis. Three application areas of biomedical, forensics, and environmental/industrial hygiene are reviewed for the eight sample preparation techniques. Three hundred and twenty references on the eight sample preparation techniques published over the last two decades (2001-2021) are provided. Other older references were included to illustrate the historical development of sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
Calycosin and formononetin were efficiently extracted from Astragali Radix and purified by high-speed countercurrent chromatography. Calycosin and formononetin could be hydrolyzed from calycosin-7-glucoside and ononin, respectively. The best extraction conditions were realized by single factor and orthogonal experiments, which were 100% ethanol, 2.5 mol/L hydrochloric acid, 1:40 ratio of solid to liquid, extracted 2 h and one time. The two-phase solvent system of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-ethanol-water (3:5:3:5, v/v) was selected for the purification of calycosin, and 1.3 mg calycosin (the purity was 95.8% and the recovery was 85.9%) was obtained from 264.9-mg crude extraction. The two-phase solvent system of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-ethanol-water (4:5:4:5, v/v) was selected for the purification of formononetin, and 2.0 mg formononetin (the purity was 98.9% and the recovery was 84.4%) was obtained from 248.9-mg crude extraction. Their structures were identified by HPLC, melting points, UV, FTIR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectrum. According to the antioxidant activity assay, the scavenging abilities of calycosin to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl free radicals (·OH) were stronger. The scavenging effect of formononetin was not demonstrated.

Abstract
Batchwise equilibrium study was carried out on the retention of nonpolar and polar organic compounds to octadecylsilyl (ODS) silicas of different properties at atmospheric pressure. While nonpolar compounds were retained only by distribution on the ODS phase, polar compounds were retained by both distribution and Langmuir-type adsorption on residual silanol. Retention on ODS silica with more silanol proceeded at a higher rate than retention on ODS silica with less silanol and was reversible on this solid phase extraction time-scale. An increase in surface density of ODS decreased the distribution constant, due to a decrease in fraction of ODS functioning as an extracting medium and also decreased the saturated adsorption amount, due to reductions of the residual silanol and the functioning ODS. The ODS silica with the lowest ODS density showed a distribution constant 31 times higher and a saturated adsorption amount 27 times higher than the ODS silica with the highest ODS density. On the other hand, because the interaction between the organic part and the ODS group introduced at higher density is strengthened, the adsorption constant is increased by about 5 times compared to the low density ODS silica. The electronic effects of substituents to nitrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds on retention were discussed. In conclusion, ODS silica with an appreciable amount of residual silanol is superior for solid phase extraction.

Abstract
Monitoring of trace heavy metal pollutants released during industrial and agricultural processes is essential because of their widespread distribution in the environment and health hazards. Several techniques, including inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), electrothermal atomic absorption (ETAAS), and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), have been proposed for the determination of heavy metals in serum, plasma, whole blood, and food. All these techniques have earned robust recognition in the field of trace heavy metals and have many advantages such as multi-elemental analysis capability, large dynamic linear range, low detection limits, and high productivity. Nevertheless, most of the recommended techniques require digestion of the sample and extraction with an organic solvent for isolation of the metal ion from the sample solution prior to analysis. Despite improvements in the performance of modern analytical instruments, the direct determination of heavy metal ions in real samples is difficult because of their low concentration levels and matrix interference. Thus, extraction and clean-up steps are required for pre-concentration of the analyte, so that detection and elimination of the interfering matrix component are possible. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is one of the popular metal ion pretreatment methods. The advantages of SPE include easy cartridge/column regeneration, high analytical frequency, and high preconcentration factors for sorbents with high adsorption capacities. On the other hand, when the analytes are extracted from a complex matrix such as serum and meat samples, large amounts of proteins from the samples can be retained on the sorbent surface, obstructing the binding sites on the sorbent and leading to poor precision and accuracy. The key to metal ion detection is the development of new SPE materials with high efficiency and enrichment factors as well as an effective pretreatment technology. Nanomaterials such as restricted-access carbon nanotubes, nanoadsorbents, nanoparticle carriers, and magnetic nanoparticles have shown great promise in advancing biomedical and environmental analysis because of the unique properties originating from their ultrafine dimensions. Nanomaterials can provide large specific surface areas and tunable functional groups to facilitate metal ion absorption. They could also possess superior optical properties and allow for high sensitivity in simple fluorescent or colorimetric detection methods. Owing to their excellent mechanical and chemical stability, polymer materials have been of great interest as adsorbents for the SPE of metal ions from solution. Moreover, a designed polymeric material can show triple functionality such as physical adsorption, chelate formation, and ion exchange for the target metal ions. A dual-functional nanomaterial-DNAzyme platform can simultaneously allow for the sensitive detection and effective removal of heavy metal ions in water. Thus, this platform can serve as a simple, cost-effective tool for rapid and accurate metal quantification in the determination of human metal exposure and inspection of environmental contamination. Furthermore, the new photocaged chelator can uncage and release the combined metal ions into an aqueous solution that is free of the other components of the matrix. In this manner, we can develop diagnostic tests for metal ions that are often difficult to detect using other methods. In this paper, the characteristics of new SPE materials, including nanomaterials, polymer materials, and functional materials as well as advances in their applications to the preparation of complex samples are summarized, and the direction for future development is proposed.

Abstract
Given detrimental impacts induced by estrogens at trace level, determination of them is significant but challenging due to their low content in environmental samples and inherent weak ionisation. A modified derivatisation-based methodology was applied for the first time to detect estrogen in free and conjugated forms including some isomers simultaneously using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSn). Derivatisation reaction with previously used 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-5-sulphonyl chloride allowed significant increase of mass spectrometric signal of analytes and also provided distinctive fragmentation for their confirmation even in complicated matrix. Then satisfactory recovery (>75%) for the majority of analytes was achieved following optimisation of solid phase extraction (SPE) factors. The linearity was validated over a wide concentration with the correlation coefficient around 0.995. The repeatability of this methodology was also confirmed via the intra-day and inter-day precision and was less than 11.73%. Validation of method quantification limits (MQLs) for all chosen estrogens was conducted using 1000 mL surface water, ranging from 7.0 to 132.3 pg L-1. The established methodology was applied to profile presence of targeted estrogens in natural surface water samples. Out of the ten compounds of interest, three free estrogens (E1, E2, E3) and two sulphate estrogens (E1-3S and E2-3S) were found over their MQLs, being in the range of 0.05-0.32 ng L-1.

Extraction of stabilizers from polymers: Separation of oligomeric hindered amine light stabilizers and phenolic antioxidants from polyolefins using liquid chromatography and high-temperature solid-phase extraction.

Abstract
The extraction of different stabilizers from a polymer matrix and the subsequent separation of said stabilizers is one of the most important as well as challenging undertakings in polymer chemistry. A multitude of stabilizers exists, each of which may be hard to extract, be difficult if not impossible to separate from other stabilizers or necessitate very selected and time-consuming intermediate stages for separation. Certain polymer matrices even pose additional challenges, such as polyolefins being only soluble at elevated temperatures. One of the most well-established approaches for the extraction of stabilizers is Soxhlet extraction. However, even this highly successful approach shows only limited success with regard to the extraction of the ever more relevant oligomeric stabilizers or the extraction of multiple stabilizers in a one-shot approach. Moreover, performing Soxhlet extractions often necessitates ≥24 h. For these reasons, alternative approaches for the extraction of stabilizers from polymers are highly sought after. An approach with enormous potential is solid-phase extraction, which allows the selective retention and enrichment of stabilizers. Herein, the very first application of high-temperature solid-phase extraction for the extraction of stabilizers from polyolefin matrices is described; as with other extraction techniques, the identification and quantification of the stabilizers is then allowed. At temperatures of 140-160°C, it was possible to adsorb common polyolefin stabilizers selectively on a silica solid phase from their polyolefin matrix. To predict high-temperature solid-phase extraction test conditions, first LC tests are necessary, offering an elegant approach for the separation of polyolefins from oligomeric stabilizers, which was not achievable until now.

Abstract
AbstractSample pretreatment is one of the most crucial and error-prone steps of an analytical procedure; it consents to improve selectivity and sensitivity by sample clean-up and pre-concentration. Nowadays, the arousing interest in greener and sustainable analytical chemistry has increased the development of microextraction techniques as alternative sample preparation procedures. In this review, we aimed to show two different categorizations of the most used micro-solid-phase extraction (μSPE) techniques. In essence, the first one concerns the solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent selection and structure: normal-phase, reversed-phase, ion-exchange, mixed-mode, molecular imprinted polymer, and special techniques (e.g., doped cartridges for specific analytes). The second is a grouping of the commercially available μSPE products in categories and sub-categories. We present every device and technology into the classifications paying attention to their historical development and the actual state of the art. So, this study aims to provide the state-of-the-art of μSPE techniques, highlighting their advantages, disadvantages, and possible future developments in sample pretreatment.

Abstract
In the present work, with the focus on an environmentally-friendly approach, some gels were prepared by synthesizing amine-modified lignin, extracted from sugarcane bagasse, and further esterification and subsequent freeze-drying. These lignin-based gels were implemented as extractive phases in an online micro-solid phase extraction (μSPE) setup in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detector. The developed method was used for analytical determination of valsartan and losartan in urine samples. To study the effect of the functionalization process, the efficiency of the unmodified lignin and the functionalized lignin were compared both in the absence and the presence of graphene oxide (GO), presumably as a suitable doping agent. Surprisingly, higher extraction efficiency for the functionalized lignin, compared to both unmodified lignin and GO was observed. The amination process for the prepared gel was analyzed and proved by CHNS elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The morphology of sorbet was investigated via scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging and a nanoscale cauliflower feature was observed. The method was optimized and subsequently applied to the analysis of the urine samples. Limits of detection (LOD) of 8 and 6 µg L - 1, limits of quantification (LOQ) of 27 and 20 µg L - 1 and linear dynamic range (LDR) of 27-2000 and 20-2000 µg L - 1 with intraday relative standard deviations (RSD%) of 4 and 3% were obtained for valsartan and losartan, respectively. The whole online μSPE-HPLC setup was conveniently used for the analysis of a patient urine sample and a quantity of 352 μg L - 1 of losartan was found. Acceptable relative recoveries (109-108 and 95-94% for valsartan and losartan) revealed the analytical potential of the method for the determination of drugs in complex urine samples.

Abstract
Many natural products have demonstrated functionality as novel, green sorbents for organic compounds. However, only limited reports exist on the use of such green materials as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents for select organic acids. In this study, we employed pollen grains as a hydrophilic sorbent and investigated the influence of various extraction parameters using a series of experimental designs. The chemical structure and surface properties of the prepared sorbent were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The Plackett-Burman design was used to experimentally screen for parameters that significantly influenced the extraction performance. Three selected parameters were then statistically optimized by applying a central composite design combined with a response surface methodology. Phenolic acid residues were determined and quantified using high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection; a mass spectrometric detector in the selected ion monitoring mode was also used for identification. As a practical example, phenolic acids in the soil were successfully separated by the developed pollen sorbent. These results therefore indicate that pollen grains can be considered as a sustainable, green, and safe alternative to bare silica for extraction and separation applications.

Optimising factors affecting solid phase extraction performances of molecular imprinted polymer as recent sample preparation technique. Heliyon 2021; 7:e05934. [PMID: 33553728 PMCID: PMC7848654 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e05934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction is the technique that uses molecular imprinted polymer as the sorbent in solid phase extraction. Molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction is effective and efficient for the extraction process and cleaning as compared with solid phase extraction (SPE) without molecular imprinted polymer. The complexity of variables in molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction arise as problems in the analysis, therefore it is necessary to optimize the extraction conditions of molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction. To achieve the sorption equilibrium and achieve the shortest time, certain parameters such as contact time, ion strength of sample, pH of sample, amount of sorbent, sample flow rate, addition of salt and buffer solution, washing solvent, elution solvent, and loading solvent need to be optimized. The selection of suitable properties and quantities of each factor greatly affect the formation of appropriate interactions between the sorbent and analytes. Percentage recovery is also influenced by formation of the appropriate bonds, sample flow rates, extraction time, salt addition, and sorbent mass. Therefore, in the future, molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction optimization has to consider and adjust various factors reviewed in this paper to form appropriate interactions between the absorbent and target molecules which have an impact on the optimal results.

[PMID: 33582515 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.461961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2020] [Revised: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Detection of illicit drugs in the environmental samples has been challenged as the consumption increases globally. Current review examines the recent developments and applications of sample preparation techniques for illicit drugs in solid, liquid, and gas samples. For solid samples, traditional sample preparation methods such as liquid-phase extraction, solid-phase extraction, and the ones with external energy including microwave-assisted, ultrasonic-assisted, and pressurized liquid extraction were commonly used. The sample preparation methods mainly applied for liquid samples were microextraction techniques including solid-phase microextraction, microextraction by packed sorbent, dispersive solid-phase extraction, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction, and so on. Capillary microextraction of volatiles and airborne particulate sampling were primarily utilized to extract illicit drugs from gas samples. Besides, the paper introduced recently developed instrumental techniques applied to detect illicit drugs. Liquid chromatograph mass spectrometry and gas chromatograph mass spectrometry were the most widely used methods for illicit drugs samples. In addition, the development of ambient mass spectrometry techniques, such as desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and paper spray mass spectrometry, created potential for rapid in-situ analysis.
