Magnetic Solid-Phase Extraction Using Fe3O4@SiO2 Magnetic Nanoparticles Followed by UV-Vis Spectrometry for Determination of Paraquat in Plasma and Urine Samples.

ABSTRACT: A rapid and simple method was optimized and validated for the separation and quantification of paraquat, a frequently used herbicide and a leading cause of fatal poisoning worldwide, at trace levels with UV-Vis spectrophotometry in plasma and urine samples by direct magnetic solid-phase extraction. Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were used as the magnetic solid-phase extraction agents and the paraquat absorbed on NPs was eluted using NaOH and ascorbic acid. Upon optimization, paraquat could be extracted and concentrated from various samples by 35-fold. The linear range, limit of detection (LOD), correlation coefficient (R), and relative standard deviation (RSD) could reach 15.0-400.0 μg/L, 12.2 μg/L, 0.9987, and 0.65% (n = 5, c = 40.0 μg/L), respectively. The Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs could be reused up to five times. The method was successfully applied to the determination of paraquat in urine and plasma at different hemoperfusion numbers in a local hospital for the patient of paraquat poisoning. The experiment result could not only enable immediate medical intervention but also benefit patients' survival.

Project description:A novel method based on fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) has been validated for the simultaneous determination of 11 UV filters (ethylhexyl salicylate, benzyl salicylate, homosalate, benzophenone-3, isoamylmethoxycinnamate, 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor, methyl anthranilate, etocrylene, 2-ethylhexylmethoxycinnamate, 2-ethylhexyl p-dimethylaminobenzoate, and octocrylene), in natural and recreational waters. Major experimental parameters affecting FPSE procedure have been optimized to obtain the highest extraction efficiency. Different types and sizes of sol-gel coated FPSE media, sample volume, extraction time, and type and volume of desorption solvent were evaluated. The optimal conditions involved the use of a (2.0 × 2.5) cm2 FPSE device with PDMS based coating for the extraction of 20 mL of water for 20 min. The quantitative desorption of the target compounds was performed with 0.5-1 mL of ethyl acetate. The method was satisfactorily validated in terms of linearity, precision, repeatability and reproducibility. Recovery studies were performed at different concentration levels in real water matrices to show its suitability, obtaining mean values about 90% and satisfactory precision. LODs were at the low ng L-1 in all cases. Finally, the validated FPSE-GC-MS/MS method was applied to different real samples, including environmental water (lake, river, seawater) and recreational water (swimming-pool), where 8 out of the 11 studied compounds were detected at concentrations between 0.12-123 μg L-1. FPSE is proposed as an efficient and simple alternative to other extraction and microextraction techniques for the analysis of UV filters in waters. Since no matrix effects were observed, quantification could be carried out by conventional calibration with standard solutions, without the need to perform the complete FPSE procedure, thus allowing a higher throughput in comparison with other microextraction techniques.
