This study is aimed at investigating a suitable method for rice sample preparation as well as validating and applying the method for monitoring the concentration of total arsenic, cadmium, and lead in rice by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Various rice sample preparation procedures were evaluated. The analytical method was validated by measuring several parameters including limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, relative bias, and repeatability. Regarding the sample preparation, recoveries of spiked samples were within the acceptable range from 89.3 to 98.2% for muffle furnace, 94.2 to 103.3% for heating block, 81.0 to 115.0% for hot plate, and 92.8 to 108.2% for microwave. Validation parameters showed that the method fits for its purpose, being the total arsenic, cadmium, and lead within the Brazilian Legislation limits. The method was applied for analyzing 37 rice samples (including polished, brown, and parboiled), consumed by the Brazilian population. The total arsenic, cadmium, and lead contents were lower than the established legislative values, except for total arsenic in one brown rice sample. This study indicated the need to establish monitoring programs for emphasizing the study on this type of cereal, aiming at promoting the Public Health.

Background: Mycophenolic acid (MPA), an immunosuppressive agent, is used orally to reduce corneal graft rejection. However its oral use is associated with gastrointestinal side effects. Objectives: To prepare MPA nanoparticle eye drops and a validated analytical method. Methods: Aqueous MPA eye drops were prepared by nanoencapsulation of MPA using Nanomerics MET (N-palamitoylN-monomethyl-N,N-dimethyl-N,N,N-trimethyl-6-O-glycolchitosan) at a MET, MPA ratio of 7.5: 1 g g-1 in the presence of glycerol (2.75% w/w). A validated MPA in-formulation drug substance assay was then developed. Results: MET-MPA formulations were prepared as well as a validated assay. Assay validation parameters for the analysis of MPA in the formulation were satisfactory [Plate count = 16458, Capacity Factor = 2.4, Tailing Factor = 1.02, linearity = 0.999 (0.016 – 0.5 mg mL-1 ), limit of detection = 0.056 mg mL-1 , limit of quantification = 0.17 mg mL-1 , accuracy = 98%, intraday and interday relative standard deviation = 0.45% and 4% respectively]. The candidate formulation (z - average mean = 66 ± 0.4 nm, polydispersity index = 0.12 ± 0.012, drug content = 1.14 ± 0.003 mg mL-1 , zeta potential = +8.5 ± 1.4 mV, pH = 7.4 ± 0.02, osmolarity = 309 ± 1.5 mOSm L-1 , viscosity = 1.04 ± 0.001 mPa.s) was then found to be stable for 14 days with respect to drug content at refrigeration, room and accelerated (40C )temperature and. All other formulation parameters were within the ocular comfort range. Conclusions: A validated assay (ICH and US FDA guidelines) for new MPA nanoparticle eye drops has been developed.

Abstract A simple method was optimized and validated for determination of ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) in raw material and feed additives by HPLC for use in quality control in veterinary industries. The best-optimized conditions were a C8 column (250 4.6 mm id, 5.0 m particle size) at room temperature with acetonitrile100 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0; 75 + 25, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 275 nm. With these conditions, the retention time of RAC was around 5.2 min, and standard curves were linear in the concentration range of 160240 g/mL (correlation coefficient 0.999). Validation parameters, such as selectivity, linearity, limit of detection (ranged from 1.60 to 2.05 g/mL), limit of quantification (ranged from 4.26 to 6.84 g/mL), precision (relative standard deviation 1.87), accuracy (ranged from 96.97 to 100.54), and robustness, gave results within acceptable ranges. Therefore, the developed method can be successfully applied for the routine quality control analysis of raw material and feed additives.

AbstractThe work presents the results of geothermal water sample analysis with respect to the determination of total selenium concentration. For this purpose, geothermal water (GT) samples were collected from three different intakes (GT-1, GT-2, GT-3) with similar temperatures of about 85°C. Tests were carried out to see if the methodology of sample preparation influenced total selenium concentration during analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Samples (raw and filtered) were preserved with nitric acid (HNO3) and mineralised in the laboratory. From the data obtained it was found that there is no significant difference between total selenium concentration in raw and filtered samples. Following mineralisation, the concentrations in the samples were below the limit of detection or limit of quantification. While different analytical steps or procedures are applied, the results of total selenium concentration can vary. Furthermore, high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ICP-MS was used for the identification of selenium species. The results revealed that hexavalent selenium – Se(VI) – in the geothermal water was found only in samples collected from the GT-2 and GT-3 intakes.

A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for determination of Thimerosal (TMS) in topical creams was optimized and validated according to the ICH guidelines which include accuracy, precision, selectivity, robustness, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity and range. For topical creams, sample treatment is often an overwhelming step essentially due to its oily nature. For the first time a simple and robust extraction procedure for TMS using phosphate buffer (pH 5.5, 0.2M) was successfully developed. This method describes the TMS quantitation by HPLC in a topical product containing 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide (FLA) as the active molecule. The HPLC separation was achieved on a Column Symmetry® and a methanol: phosphate buffer (pH 2.5, 0.05M) 70:30 v/v mobile phase and wavelength 218 nm. Results from both standards and samples showed adequate validation parameters. Noteworthy, linearity was within the range 1.2 - 2.8 μg/mL. Additionally, robustness and TMS stability were established after sample extraction. The method provides an efficient and safe quality control tool for determination of TMS in topical creams.
