F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs) are a gold marker of lipid peroxidationin vivo, whereas F4-neuroprostanes (F4-NPs) measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or brain tissue selectively indicate neuronal oxidative damage. Gas chromatography/negative-ion chemical-ionization mass spectrometry (GC/NICI-MS) is the most sensitive and robust method for quantifying these compounds, which is essential for CSF samples because abundance of these compounds in CSF is very low. The present study revealed potential interferences on the analysis of F2-IsoPs and F4-NPs in CSF by GC/NICI-MS due to the use of improper analytical methods that have been employed in the literature. First, simultaneous quantification of F2-IsoPs and F4-NPs in CSF samples processed for F4-NPs analysis could cause poor chromatographic separation and falsely higher F2-IsoPs values for CSF samples with high levels of F2-IsoPs and F4-NPs. Second, retention of unknown substances in GC columns from CSF samples during F4-NPs analysis and from plasma samples during F2-IsoPs analysis might interfere with F4-NPs analysis of subsequent runs, which could be solved by holding columns at a high temperature for a period of time after data acquisition. Therefore, these special issues should be taken into consideration when performing analysis of F2-IsoPs and F4-NPs in CSF to avoid misleading results.

Abstract A method is described for detection of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in biological and environmental samples. Sample preparation includes sulfuric acid treatment followed by adsorption chromatography on ilumina, which yields the CPs in one fraction that is almost free of interfering material. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry j with negative-ion chemical ionization, the limit of detection is 5 ng (corresponding to the lower ppb range). CP levels of 30 ppm, 200 ppb, ' and 5 ppb were found in sewage sludge, human fat, and sediment, respectively.
