Article Synopsis
  • - Coated blade spray-mass spectrometry (CBS-MS) is a technique for quickly detecting small amounts of target compounds in complex biological mixtures, but its use is limited due to the lack of accessible MS interfaces and extraction tools.
  • - This research introduces new CBS-MS solutions made with 3D printing, including a flexible mass spectrometry interface and two extraction devices designed for large samples and single-drop blood, improving efficiency and reducing contamination risks during the analysis.
  • - The new devices were effective in screening for seven drugs in urine and blood samples, with rapid sample preparation times, while also addressing potential contamination issues from 3D-printed materials.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of aliphatic manufactured compounds comprising fluoro-chemicals with varied functional groups and stable carbon-fluorine bonds. They are defined as "forever chemicals" due to their persistent and bioaccumulative character. These substances have been detected in various environmental samples, including water, air, soil, and human blood, posing significant health hazards.
