Traditionally, analytical-flow liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been the gold standard but, shifting to low-flow LC-MS/MS presents an improved alternative that enhances sensitivity, reduces the injected amount of sample and aligns with the principles of green analytical chemistry. Operating at micro-flow rates significantly reduces solvent consumption and organic waste, which is particularly important for routine control laboratories. This approach maintains high sensitivity, robustness, and performance, addressing the critical need for greener, efficient, and reliable methodologies for multiresidue pesticide analysis.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>This study assessed the performance of a micro-flow LC system operating at a flow rate of 50 μL min<sup>−1</sup>, coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, for the multiresidue analysis of 257 pesticides in tomato and orange matrices, in compliance with the ISO 17025. The method showed excellent retention time stability, with deviations under 2.1 s across 50 injections. Peak area repeatability was robust, with relative standard deviations of 3.4 % for tomato and 2.9 % for orange. The instrumental limits of quantification demonstrated high sensitivity, with 89 % of pesticides identified at very low concentrations (0.001–0.002 mg kg<sup>−1</sup>), outperforming the traditional analytical-flow LC-MS/MS method, which identified 75–81 % of compounds. Matrix effects were minimal, with less than 20 % signal suppression or enhancement for most compounds. The method was successfully tested through the analysis of proficiency tests samples, and the analysis of 39 real samples proved its applicability for routine food monitoring.</div></div><div><h3>Significance</h3><div>This work establishes micro-flow LC-MS/MS as an innovative method for multiresidue pesticide analysis in fruits and vegetables, combining high analytical performance with significant sustainability advantages, reducing solvent consumption by over fivefold compared to the conventional analytical-flow method.

Simulations and experimental data reveal that this uneven temperature distribution can significantly distort the peaks in the ion mobility spectrum, depending on the IMS orientation.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a typical tumor marker for the recurrences of HCC, and can be utilized potentially during routine follow-up after HCC resection. Therefore, sensitive and accuracy detection of AFP is very critical at the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In this work, an <em>in-situ</em> amplified capacitance immunoassay was designed for highly sensitive determination of AFP in biological fluids. The capacitance immunosensor was fabricated by means of immobilizing <em>anti</em>-AFP capture antibodies on an interdigitated gold micro-comb array through a carbodiimide coupling method. Porous platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were used for the labeling of <em>anti</em>-AFP detection antibody. The presence of target analyte induced the formation of the sandwiched immunocomplex between capture antibody and detection antibody. The carried porous PtNPs with peroxidase-like activity catalyzed 4-chloro-1-naphethol oxidation to produce an insoluble benzo-4-chlorohexadienone precipitation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The precipitation was coated on the micro-comb electrode, thus causing the capacitance change. Two labeling protocols including porous PtNPs and solid PtNPs were investigated for determination of AFP, and improved analytical features were acquired with porous PtNPs. Under optimal conditions, porous PtNP-based capacitance immunoassay gave a good linear response from 0.01 ng mL<sup>−1</sup> to 300 ng mL<sup>−1</sup> AFP with a detection limit of 7.4 pg mL<sup>−1</sup>. Good reproducibility, high specificity and long-term stability were also achieved. In addition, 15 human serum specimens were determined through our method, and the results were in accordance with those obtained from commercial AFP enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.</div></div><div><h3>Significance</h3><div>This capacitance immunoassay offers promise for sensitive and cost-effective detection of cancer biomarkers without the requirement of natural enzymes. Importantly, porous PtNP-based labeling strategy opens a new horizon for advanced development of capacitance immunoassays.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":240,"journal":{"name":"Analytica Chimica Acta","volume":"1358 ","pages":"Article 344101"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143850023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
