This work presents a multi-residue analytical method based on solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) with diode array (DAD) detection for the simultaneous determination of a group of pharmaceutical products that include ten antidepressants and three anticancerigenic in environmental samples (water and soil). Baseline separation of the studied com...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Ni2+ in water samples. In this paper, Dioctylphthalate (DOP) was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-DOP sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-Fe3O4-DOP-ED. Flame atomi...

This work presents a comparative study of the analytical characteristics of two methods for the analysis of carbonyl compounds in wine, both based on the derivatization with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA). In the first method derivatives are formed in the solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge in which the analytes have been previously isolated, while in the ...

This application presents a fast, easy, and cost-effective method for the determination of 24 pesticide residues in red wine. Sample preparation involves the extraction of pesticides from red wine using the QuEChERS extraction method (AOAC version). The samples then undergo cleanup by dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) using primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent, which effectively retains...

An automated extraction method for extracting the major urinary metabolite of cannabis, 11-nor-Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) was developed on the four-probe Gilson ASPEC XL4trade mark solid-phase extraction (SPE) system. The method works on liquid-liquid extraction principles but does not require the use of SPE cartridges. The limits of detection and quantitation an...

Sulfonamides were extracted from honey with acetate buffer (pH 5.0), and cleaned up by solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure. The liquid chromatography (LC) separation was carried out on RP C18 column using acetic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient mode and monitored with fluorescence detector, after pre-column derivatisation. Recoveries from spiked honey were above 80%, and...

In this research, the magnetite polystyrene maleic anhydride (MPSMA) was synthesized and structure and morphology characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy techniques. The obtained nano-structured inorganic material was employed as a novel magnetic nanosorbent for separation and pre-concentration of Methyl violet (10B) dye from aqu...

For sample preparation solid-phase extraction (SPE) became very popular during the 1980s and 1990s. Because method development and its optimization is very time consuming, in most cases C18 is used as standard carrier material without knowing if it possesses the highest efficiency. Therefore detailed studies with different stationary phases are necessary for optimal recovery rates. Due to the r...

Sample preparation is often the rate-limiting step in analytical methods and its effectiveness has a critical impact on accuracy, quantification and, ultimately, the precision of any measurement. Traditionally, liquid–liquid extraction methods are frequently used for the extraction of organic analytes from aqueous samples. To overcome some of the disadvantages of liquid–liquid extraction (e.g.,...

Disposable Pipette Extraction (DPX) has been shown to be a rapid, effi cient and reproducible method for performing solid-phase extraction (SPE) of pesticides from fruits and vegetables. DPX is a unique SPE method because the solid phase sorbent is contained inside a disposable pipette tip and is mixed with sample solutions. This mixing allows for the use of less solid phase sorbent material an...
