Conventional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods suffer from limited sensitivity and selectivity, particularly for high-molecular-weight PAHs with stable molecular ions that resist fragmentation. Here, we present a novel gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method using pseudo-multiple reaction monitoring (PMRM) coupled with an optimized extraction protocol for precise quantification of 16 USEPA priority PAHs in soil. By exploiting the inherent stability of PAH molecular ions ([M]<sup>+</sup>), PMRM achieved 3.1–4.8 times lower detection limits than traditional selected ion monitoring (SIM) while resolving critical isomer pairs (e.g., phenanthrene/anthracene, <i>R</i> > 1.5) through time-segmented collision energy (CE) optimization (5–25 eV). A streamlined extraction using acetonitrile modified with anhydrous Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> eliminated labor-intensive cleanup, achieving >85% recovery across a wide log<i>K<sub>ow</sub></i> range (3.37–6.50). The PMRM strategy enhanced signal-to-noise ratios by collisional focusing and differential interference fragmentation, enabling direct injection of crude extracts without compromising sensitivity. This approach addresses long-standing limitations in PAH analysis, offering a robust, high-throughput solution for environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance, with potential applications to other structurally stable pollutants.","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":"59 7","pages":"1203-1220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892370","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}

In this study, a novel dual-recognition strategy for detecting <i>S. aureus</i> was developed, employing vancomycin-functionalized magnetic beads (Van-MBs) for target capture and canine immunoglobulin G (IgG) to selectively and sensitively bind to staphylococcal protein A (SPA) on the bacterial surface. Dual-recognition strategies based on vancomycin and porcine IgG have previously been developed for the detection of <i>S. aureus</i>. However, porcine IgG can also bind to protein G, which poses the risk of generating false-positive signals from protein G-producing <i>Streptococci</i>. In contrast, canine IgG demonstrates a higher affinity for protein A than for protein G. When <i>S. aureus</i> is present in the sample matrix, the Van-MBs and biotin-labeled canine IgG successfully form a sandwich complex. Then, streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added, which binds to the sandwich structure. HRP then catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in the formation of a colorimetric signal that was proportional to the concentration of <i>S. aureus</i> within the concentration range of 6.3 × 10<sup>3</sup>–4.0 × 10<sup>5</sup> CFU/mL with a detection limit of 1.9 × 10<sup>3</sup> CFU/mL. By substituting porcine IgG with canine IgG, this method eliminates cross-reactivity with protein G-expressing <i>Streptococci</i>, achieving specificity over non-target species. This approach highlights its potential for application in diverse sample matrices, including clinical and biological specimens.","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":"59 6","pages":"1041-1053"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147904776","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}
