[Simultaneous determination of 17 perfluoroalkyl substances in beef by EMR-Lipid dispersive solid-phase extraction and ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

The ability to accurately analyze perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) levels in beef is imperative in order to effectively assess food-safety risks and ensure consumer safety because PFASs are harmful and prevalent in beef. In this study, we developed a rapid and accurate method for the simultaneously determination of the 17 PFASs in beef using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and optimized the mobile phase system, extraction solvent, and d-SPE materials. Samples were finally extracted using 0.

A 3-step load-wash-elute solid-phase extraction tandem dedicated clean-up cartridge prior to UPLC-MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of bongkretic acid, isobongkretic acid and toxoflavin in edible mushrooms and rice noodles.

A 3-step load-wash-elute solid-phase extraction tandem dedicated clean-up cartridge prior to UPLC-MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of bongkretic acid, isobongkretic acid and toxoflavin in food is presented in this work. The 3-step load-wash-elute SPE strategy with PRiME HLB, eliminating conditioning and equilibration, and coupled with dedicated purification cartridge, PriboFast MFC 336, was used as a tandem cartridge for sample pretreatment. Various sample pretreatment conditions including sample extractant, the tandem cartridge, the optimizatioin of PRiME HLB SPE conditions and PriboFast MFC 336 purification conditions, as well as MS/MS conditions and HPLC conditions were systematically investigated.

[Determination of paraquat and diquat residues in urine samples based on solid-phase extraction and ultra performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry].

Determining the presence of paraquat (PQ) and diquat (DQ) in urine samples through physical and chemical testing is challenging. As PQ and DQ have characteristics such as high molecular polarity and good water solubility, they are difficult to be retained by conventional reversed-phase columns. Most of the methods in the literature use hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) for the retention of PQ and DQ, but they often require high concentrations of buffer salts as the mobile phase, which increase the contamination of the mass spectrometer.

[Simultaneous determination of nine estrogens in bullfrogs using filtered solid phase extraction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

Due to the harmful effects of estrogens and their prevalence in animal foods, accurate analysis of estrogen levels in animal foods is imperative in order to effectively assess food safety risks and ensure consumer safety. Therefore, a rapid and accurate method based on PRiME HLB solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge purification and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed to determine nine estrogen residues in bullfrogs. The nine estrogens included estriol (E3), 17-estradiol (-E), 17-estradiol (-E), 17-ethinylestradiol (EE2), estrone (EI), diethylstilbestrol (DES), dienestrol (DE), hexestrol (HEX), and dienestrol diacetate (DD).

Design and synthesis of amphiphilic carboxyl-functionalized magnetic polymer microspheres for fast determination of paraquat and its four metabolites in human urine samples prior to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry.

In cases of low concentration paraquat (PQ) poisoning, as the disease progresses over a long period of time, the prototype PQ may not be detected in the urine, which has a significant negative impact on the precise treatment of the poisoning. But PQ poisoning can also be confirmed by the detection of specific metabolites of PQ in the urine samples. In the present study, core-shell amphiphilic carboxyl-functionalized magnetic polymer microsphere (Amphiphilic-MPs-COOH) was prepared, and the as-prepared Amphiphilic-MPs-COOH was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry analyses (TG-DTG).

[Rapid determination of four phenolic environmental estrogen residues in cooking oil by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry coupled with solid-phase extraction].

A fast, sensitive and accurate method for the determination of trace bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) in cooking oil samples was developed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) coupled with solid-phase extraction (SPE). Cooking oil samples were extracted by acetonitrile, then the supernatant was purified by SLC SPE cartridges. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T column (100 mm×2.
