In support of studies investigating the toxicity and toxicokinetic behavior of arsenic compounds, we developed and validated a high-resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS) method to quantitate total arsenic in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat plasma and heart. Primary matrix standard curves prepared in male SD rat plasma were linear (r ≥ 0.999) over the range of 5 to 1250 ng As/mL plasma with accuracy determined as relative error (RE) was ≤ ±20% at the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 5 ng/mL and ≤ ±15% for all other concentrations. The method limit of detection (LOD) was 0.728 ng/mL plasma. Mean extraction recovery was 96.7%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.0%. The method demonstrated acceptable inter- (≤ ±7.3% RE and ≤ 8.0% RSD) and intra-day (≤ ±14.9% RE and ≤ 6.8% RSD) accuracy and precision. Method selectivity was ≤ 20% of the response for the LLOQ. Method performance was also evaluated in SD rat heart by preparing QC samples in heart homogenate and quantifying using plasma calibration curve. The mean RE value was -3.8% and the RSD value was 3.4% demonstrating that the method is suitable for quantitation of arsenic in rat heart.</p>","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12383451/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144939304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are multiple techniques to monitor hypochlorite (HClO/ClO<sup>-</sup>) from various matrices, however, they each have significant disadvantages, including limited sensitivity, complexity, and slow response. In this study, we developed a water-soluble fluorescein-based probe, called fluorescein thioacid (FSH), for the rapid and sensitive detection of HClO/ClO<sup>-</sup> in aqueous solutions via oxidation of FSH to produce fluorescein. FSH was synthesized via a simple, one-step procedure and exhibited excellent selectivity for ClO<sup>-</sup>, maintaining 82% signal stability for 24 h. FSH performed well over a wide pH range (4 to 10; optimum pH of 4), produced a linear range from 1 to 100 μM, and had a detection limit of 100 nM. The probe was able to accurately quantify HClO/ClO<sup>-</sup> concentrations in tap water (13.8 μM) and swimming pool water (56.9 μM) samples. Overall, FSH is simple to synthesize, highly selective, highly sensitive, has excellent water solubility, and produces a fast response for monitoring of aqueous ClO<sup>-</sup> levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":"58 13","pages":"2249-2263"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12266673/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144658165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
