Novel approaches to the analysis of steroid estrogens in river sediments.
A wide range of estrogenic contaminants has been detected in the aquatic environment. Among these, natural and synthetic steroid estrogens, typically present in municipal sewage-treatment plant (STP) effluents, are the most potent. In this study a new GC-MS method has been developed for direct analysis of five major steroid estrogens (estrone, 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, dienest...
متن کاملOptimization and evaluation of low-pressure gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the fast analysis of multiple pesticide residues in a food commodity.
A fast method of analysis for 20 representative pesticides was developed using low-pressure gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (LP-GC-MS). No special techniques for injection or detection with a common quadrupole GC-MS instrument were required to use this approach. The LP-GC-MS approach used an analytical column of 10 m x 0.53 mm I.D., 1 microm film thickness coupled with a 3 m x 0.15 mm I.D....
متن کاملLC-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) in the Clinical Research Laboratory: A Selective, Sensitive, and Versatile Testing Technique for Measuring Endocrine Analytes
Accurate measurement of steroids is important for research into a variety of endocrine disorders. Many techniques have been utilized to measure endogenous steroids including HPLC/UV, various immunoassays, and GC/MS. HPLC/UV methods lack the necessary sensitivity and specificity to distinguish low levels of target analytes from the biological matrix background. Immunoassays are widely used in ma...
متن کاملSpecific and Selective Detection for Food and Beverage Analysis by Ion Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric Detection
Analysis of food and beverage samples can present challenges given the requirement for low-level detection, often in complex matrices. General IC detectors may not be routinely capable of achieving the desired detection levels, samples may be in high-level matrices, and target analytes may coelute with other compounds. Since general detectors rely on identification by retention time alone, they...
متن کاملUltimate detectability of volatile organic compounds: how much further can we reduce their ambient air sample volumes for analysis?
To understand the ultimately lowest detection range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, application of a high sensitivity analytical system was investigated by coupling thermal desorption (TD) technique with gas chromatography (GC) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). The performance of the TD-GC/TOF MS system was evaluated using liquid standards of 19 target VOCs prepared ...
