Abstract
A rapid, sensitive, simple, and accurate method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 3 alkylphenols (APs) and 11 bisphenols (BPs) in urine based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Following enzymatic hydrolysis of urine samples, corresponding isotope internal standards were added. Magnetic solid-phase extraction (M-SPE) technology was employed for separation and enrichment of analytes, followed by UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Results showed that within the defined concentration ranges, calibration curves for both APs and BPs exhibited excellent linearity, with all correlation coefficients (r) >0.999. The method demonstrated excellent precision and accuracy, with intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation (CVs) < 4.4 % and 4.9 %, respectively, and recoveries ranging from 80.8 % to 107.7 %. Limits of detection (LODs) of the 14 target analytes were 0.006 ng/mL–0.6 ng/mL, and limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.02 ng/mL–2.0 ng/mL. When applied to quantify APs and BPs in urine samples, the method proved effective, demonstrating rapidity, sensitivity, simplicity, and accuracy, thus making it highly suitable for detecting APs and BPs in urine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
