Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a versatile new technique for collecting headspace volatiles prior to GC analysis. The commercial availability of uniform SPME fibers makes routine, practical quantitation of headspace concentrations possible, but straightforward information for relating GC peak areas from SPME analyses to headspace concentrations has not been available. The calibration fac...

abstract: a combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) with headspace solid-phase micro extraction (spme) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of three different rice cultivar, including two modified iranian rice cultivars and hashemi rice cultivar during gelatinization. the proposed combination provided a powerful system for easy and rapid screening of a...

Solid organ transplantation is a life-saving intervention for patients suffering from end-stage failure. Although improvements in surgical techniques, standards of care, and immunosuppression have been observed over the last few decades, transplant centers to face problem an insufficient number organs concerning growing demand. An opportunity increase pool intended more frequent use extended cr...

In this study, a procedure was developed to determine short-chain alkane monocarboxylic acids (SCMAs) in aqueous samples using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). A Stabilwax-DA capillary column (30 m × 0.32-mm inner diameter, 0.50-μm film thickness) was used for GC separation and a 60-μm poly(ethylene glycol) ...

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a fast and simple sampling method for analysis of volatile compounds, but quantitation can be affected by sample matrix and sampling conditions. Sampling time and temperature are particularly important in controlling analyte response, and the effects vary for different compound classes and volatilities. Tests with model solutions containing a rang...

A metabolic profile of plasma samples from patients undergoing heart surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and concurrent administration of tranexamic acid was determined. Direct immersion solid phase microextraction (DI-SPME), a new sampling and sample preparation tool for metabolomics, was used in this study for the first time to investigate clinical samples. The results showed...

Volatile compounds in honey samples of different botanical origins were investigated. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) revealed a total of 86 compounds in the headspace of 4 types of honey – multifloral, heather, buckwheat and lime-honeydew. The chemical composition of the headspace was very diverse, owing to the presence of compounds from diff...

Since it was introduced in 1997, in-tube solid-phase microextraction (in-tube SPME), which uses a capillary column as extraction device, has been continuously developed online coupled to LC systems SPME-LC). In the last decade, new couplings have evaluated on basis of state-of-the-art instruments, including direct coupling SPME MS/MS systems, without chromatographic separation, for high-through...

T198923 ©1998 Sigma-Aldrich Co. Solid phase microextraction, a simple, effective adsorption/ desorption technique, eliminates the need for solvents or complicated apparatus for concentrating volatile or nonvolatile compounds in liquid samples or headspace. SPME is compatible with analyte separation/detection by gas chromatography or HPLC, and provides linear results for wide concentrations of a...

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been applied to the analysis of priority pollutant phenolic compounds in water samples. Two types of polar fibers [50 microm Carbowax-templated resin (CW-TPR) and 60 microm polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB)] were evaluated. The effects of equilibration time and ionic strength of samples ...
