Abstract Background As a common small molecule substance, environmental hormones widely exist in nature, especially water sources, which have a profound effects in humans. Highly efficient and sensitive method for estrogens in the environment are essential. Results In this paper, a novel high-throughput platform was established based on five small hormones molecules specificity aptamer and magnetic beads (MBs). The results showed that the sensitivity of the proposed method are greatly improved. The limit of detection(LOD) of this method for atrazine(Atz), profenofos, bisphenolA(BPA), estradiol(E2), and polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) were 9.46, 20.75, 23.81, 8.97, 6.27 pg/mL, respectively. The Recovery rate of the diluted environmental hormones spiked in the samples of Haihe river were in the range of 87.5-111.02% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 28.44%. Conclusion This platform based on new complementary strand fragments can simultaneously rapid detection five environmental hormones. The whole procedure completed within 1.5h including sample treatment, incubation and detection, greatly improving the detection efficiency.

Abstract Salting-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction method has been developed for plasma sample treatment before determination of alogliptin by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Several parameters were optimized to achieve maximum enrichment, including type of extractant, volume of extractant, type of anion, type of cation, salt amount and pH. The optimum conditions were attained using 500 µL of acetonitrile, added to 1 mL of aqueous sample containing 250 mg of sodium chloride at pH 12. An RP-HPLC method was developed and validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines M10. The method was linear in the concentration range of 0.1 to 50 µg/mL (correlation coefficient= 0.997). The limit of detection was 19 ng/mL and limit of quantitation was 60 ng /mL. The method was accurate and precise with an average % recovery of 99.7% and a % relative standard deviation ranging between 1.5 and 2.5. These results showed that the salting-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction methods could be better than other sample preparation protocols in terms of sensitivity, easiness, solvent consumption and waste reduction.

Abstract This paper reported the method development and validation of a gas chromatography with thermal conductivity detector (GC-TCD) method for the measurement of the gaseous products of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). The method validation parameters include selectivity, precision (repeatability and reproducibility), accuracy, linearity, limit of detection (LoD), limit of quantitation (LoQ), and robustness. The results showed that the developed method was able to separate the target components (H2, CO2, CH4 and CO) from their mixtures without any special sample treatment. The validated method was selective, precise, accurate, and robust. Application of the developed and validated GC-TCD method to the measurement of by-product components of HDO of bio-oil revealed a good performance with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 1.0% for all target components, implying that the process of method development and validation provides a trustworthy way of obtaining reliable analytical data.

Abstract Per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of synthetic surfactant chemicals with widespread uses in food packaging and textile manufacturing and as the main constituent of aqueous film-forming firefighting foams. PFASs are highly persistent in the environment, and human exposures are extensive with these chemicals detectable in the blood of almost all adult Americans. PFASs exhibit a range of toxic effects in preclinical models. In humans, PFAS exposure has been associated with lower birth weights, decreased immune responses, cancer and impaired fertility and elevated circulating cholesterol levels. We have developed a sensitive high-throughput method for quantification of representative PFAS in human serum and plasma for biomonitoring and epidemiological studies of human health effects of PFAS exposure. The method combines robust and reproducible 96-well plate format sample preparation with ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The method was developed, validated and used for targeted measurements of eight short-/long-chain PFAS analytes in human serum. Targeted analytes were measured in 50 microliters of sample using mass-labeled internal standards. Mean spiked recoveries (n = 10) of target analytes for three tiers quality control (QC-low, QC-medium, QC-high) samples ranged from 70 to 127% with 2–14% relative standard deviation (RSD). The average spiked recoveries (n = 10) of surrogates were 79–115% with 8–12% RSD for QC-low, 90–123% with 7–12% RSD for QC-medium and 82–114% with 9–15% RSD for QC-high. The limit of detection for the target compounds was 0.05–0.04 ng/mL. The method was used to reveal regional differences in PFAS exposures in Kentucky residents receiving care at the University of Kentucky Hospitals.

AbstractHere we report a novel microdroplet PCR method combined with fluorescence spectrophotometry (MPFS), which allows for qualitative, quantitative and high -throughput detection of multiple DNA targets. In this study, each pair of primers was labeled with a specific fluorophore. Through microdroplet PCR, a target DNA was amplified and labeled with the same fluorophore. After products purification, the DNA products tagged with different fluorophores could be analyzed qualitatively by the fluorescent intensity determination. The relative fluorensence unit was also measured to construct the standard curve and to achieve quantitative analysis. In a reaction, the co -amplified products with different fluorophores could be simultaneously analyzed to achieve high -throughput detection. We used four kinds of GM maize as a model to confirm this theory. The qualitative results revealed high specificity and sensitivity of 0.5% (w / w). The quantitative results revealed that the limit of detection was 103copies and with good repeatability. Moreover, reproducibility assay were further performed using four foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Consequently, the same qualitative, quantitative and high-throughput results were confirmed as the four GM maize.

An automated procedure has been developed for Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) determination of buprofezin in pesticide formulations. This methodology is based on on-line pesticide extraction with acetonitrile from solid samples and its determination by using peak area absorbance measurements between 2147 and 2132 nm, corrected with a horizontal baseline established at 2091 nm. The repeatability, as a relative standard deviation of five independent analyses of 18.9 mg g−1 of buprofezin, was 0.06% and the limit of detection 5 mg L−1. The reagent consumption was clearly reduced compared with a chromatographic reference procedure from 40.4 mL acetonitrile per sample, required by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), to 2 mL acetonitrile consumed for FT-NIR. The sample measurement throughput obtained by the FT-NIR methodology was 30 h−1, five times higher than that obtained by HPLC (6 h−1). It can be concluded that the proposed vibrational spectroscopic method is appropriate for the quality control of commercial pesticide formulations. The on-line sample treatment avoids contact by the operator with toxic products and this method is an environmentally friendly alternative to the measurement in the mid infrared which requires the use of CHCl3.
