National Metrology Institutes (NMI) prepare these solutions as certified reference materials (CRM) and determine their elemental mass fraction with high accuracy. Characterization with high accuracy is one of the most critical steps in CRM production. This report compares the approaches taken by the NMIs of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK-UME) and Colombia (INM(CO)) in preparing and characterizing cadmium calibration solutions with a nominal value of 1 g kg<sup>-1</sup>. Each NMI produced CRMs using an independent batch of cadmium calibration solution and assigned mass fraction values to both their own solutions and those of the other NMIs. TÜBİTAK-UME employed a primary difference method (PDM) to assess the purity of a cadmium metal standard, quantifying all possible impurities using a combination of instrumental analytical techniques. The defined purity standard was used for both the gravimetric preparation of the CRM and the calibration of high-performance inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) measurements. On the other hand, INM(CO) used gravimetric titration with EDTA to assay cadmium in the CRM solutions. The EDTA salt was previously characterized by titrimetry. Despite the fundamentally different measurement methods and independent metrological traceability paths to the SI, the measurement results exhibited excellent agreement within the stated uncertainties. This comparative analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of varied characterization approaches and underscores the reliability of the cadmium calibration solutions prepared by TÜBİTAK-UME and INM(CO). This collaborative effort highlights the reliability and adaptability of various measurement techniques in fulfilling rigorous metrological standards for elemental calibration solutions. Furthermore, this approach enhances the robustness of the measurements in the field of elemental analysis and contributes traceability to the SI.</p>","PeriodicalId":462,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998155","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}

Assessment of commutability is essential when the RM is used in a calibration hierarchy or to ensure that clinical measurements are comparable across different measurement procedures and at different times. The commutability of three new Standard Reference Materials<sup>®</sup> (SRMs) for determining serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], defined as the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>2</sub> [25(OH)D<sub>2</sub>] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> [25(OH)D<sub>3</sub>], was assessed through an interlaboratory study. The following SRMs were assessed: (1) SRM 2969 Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum (Total 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Low Level), (2) SRM 2970 Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum (25-Hydroxyvitamin D<sub>2</sub> High Level), and (3) SRM 1949 Frozen Human Prenatal Serum. These SRMs represent three clinically relevant situations including (1) low levels of total 25(OH)D, (2) high level of 25(OH)D<sub>2</sub>, and (3) 25(OH)D levels in nonpregnant women and women during each of the three trimesters of pregnancy with changing concentrations of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP). Twelve laboratories using 17 different ligand binding assays and eight laboratories using nine commercial and custom liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays provided results in this study. Commutability of the SRMs with patient samples was assessed using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) approach based on 95% prediction intervals or a pre-set commutability criterion and the recently introduced International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) approach based on differences in bias for the clinical and reference material samples using a commutability criterion of 8.8%. All three SRMs were deemed as commutable with all LC-MS/MS assays using both CLSI and IFCC approaches. SRM 2969 and SRM 2970 were deemed noncommutable for three and seven different ligand binding assays, respectively, when using the IFCC approach. Except for two assays, one or more of the three pregnancy levels of SRM 1949 were deemed noncommutable or inconclusive using different ligand binding assays and the commutability criterion of 8.8%. Overall, a noncommutable assessment for ligand binding assays is determined for these SRMs primarily due to a lack of assay selectivity related to 25(OH)D<sub>2</sub> or an increasing VDBP in pregnancy trimester materials rather than the quality of the SRMs. With results from 17 different ligand binding and nine LC-MS/MS assays, this study provides valuable knowledge for clinical laboratories to inform SRM selection when assessing 25(OH)D status in patient populations, particularly in subpopulations with low levels of 25(OH)D, high levels of 25(OH)D<sub>2</sub>, wom","PeriodicalId":462,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942274","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}

Herein, a detection method combining molecularly imprinted magnetic solid-phase extraction (MISPE) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was developed for the detection of ofloxacin. Graphene oxide supported by magnetic beads was synthesized by a one-pot method, producing what was subsequently referred to as magnetic graphene oxide (MGO), and a molecularly imprinted membrane was synthesized on its surface by exploiting the ability of dopamine to self-polymerize under alkaline conditions. MGO@MIPs were obtained as the adsorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction, which was used for the extraction and enrichment of ofloxacin in complex sample matrix, and then quantitative analysis was conducted by SERS.

Blank honey, milk, and pork samples spiked with ofloxacin at concentrations of 0.005, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg mL<sup>-1</sup> were extracted and determined using the developed method, with recoveries ranging from 93.1% to 105.6%.

This paper presents a novel ratio fluorescence sensor based on the molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) and metal-enhanced fluorescence for visual detection of dicamba (DIC). Calcium fluoride (CaF<sub>2</sub>) quantum dots (QDs) were immobilized on the surface of Ag@MIPs, resulting in a blue fluorescence response signal (Ag@MIPs-CaF<sub>2</sub>). The MIPs shell, which possesses a specific recognition capability, serves as an isolation layer to adjust the distance between Ag nanoparticles and CaF<sub>2</sub> QDs for enhancing the fluorescence of CaF<sub>2</sub> QDs by up to 7.1 times under optimal conditions. In the presence of DIC, the blue fluorescence was selectively quenched, while the reference signal red fluorescence from cadmium telluride QDs coated with silicon dioxide (CdTe@SiO<sub>2</sub>) remained relatively stable, resulting in a color change from blue to red. The sensor had a detection limit of 0.16 μM for DIC in the range of 1.0 to 50.0 μM, recovery rates of 85.4 to 103.5% for actual samples, and an imprinting factor of 3.28.

In this paper, we present a new ROI algorithm that improves on the selection of contiguous m/z traces, amongst others by introducing the concept of chromatographic filter, allows for an automated approach to optimise the admissible mass-to-charge deviation (δ<sub>m/z</sub>) and can be used to match ROIs across multiple samples. The algorithm was tested on a LC-HRMS dataset comprised of 21 replicate injections of a wastewater effluent extract and assessed on its ability to correctly retrieve the ROI's relative to 57 compounds and match them across all injections. In summary, it achieved a ten-fold compression rate in on-disk storage at a noise threshold of 200 counts, and the median ROI length matched the observed chromatographic peak width (12-23 points). Correct ROI matching with a mass accuracy of 9 ppm was observed for 52 compounds across all 21 injections with only one compound split between two adjacent m/z traces in six runs.
