This article presents a comparative study of selected deproteinization-, liquid–liquid-extraction- (LLE), and solid-phase-extraction (SPE)-based procedures for the isolation doxorubicin (DOX) daunorubicin (DAU) as an internal standard (IS) from rat tissue samples. During experiments, all samples were analyzed via liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection (LC-FL), analytes being ...

This paper proposes improved guidelines for dissolved organic matter (DOM) isolation by solid phase extraction (SPE) with a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (PPL) sorbent, which has become an established method for the isolation of DOM from natural waters, because of its ease of application and appreciable carbon recovery. Suwannee River water was selected to systematically study the effects of...

A SPE-UHPLC-UV method for the determination of 13 pharmaceuticals from different therapeutic groups in surface water and wastewater samples was proposed. The following three solid-phase-extraction (SPE) columns with polymeric sorbents were used as a pre-concentration step: the Oasis HLB (average recoveries 93.8 %), the Nexus (84.0 %) and the Bond Elut ENV (88.3 %). A reverse-phase UHPLC with a ...

background: bisphenol a (bpa) is one of the hazardous materials causing disruption of endocrine pathways. due to water contamination by this component from multiple sources and the associated health problems, bpa has been the focus of multiple studies. it has been proved that bpa may cause harm because of its impact on estrogenic receptors in human and other organisms. methods: in this study, t...

Factors affecting solid phase extraction (SPE) of trans,trans-muconic acid (ttMA), as a benzene biomarker, including sample pH, sample concentration, sample volume, sample flow rate, washing solvent, elution solvent, and type of sorbent were evaluated. Extracted samples were determined by HPLC-UV (high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet). The analytical column was C18, UV wave length...

This paper reviews the phenolic-compound-extraction systems used to analyse fruit and vegetable samples over the last 10 years. Phenolic compounds are naturally occurring antioxidants, usually found in fruits and vegetables. Sample preparation for analytical studies is necessary to determine the polyphenolic composition in these matrices. The most widely used extraction system is liquid-liquid ...

BACKGROUND Ga-labeled radiotracers are increasingly used for PET imaging. During the labeling procedure, formation of (68)Ga-colloid may occur. Upon i.v. injection, (68)Ga-colloid will accumulate rapidly in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, resulting in reduced target-to-background ratios. In this study, we applied a thin layer chromatography (TLC) method to measure colloid content and we stu...

The work presented in this thesis concerns the development and evaluation of new methods for sampling and analysis of organic pollutants in the indoor and outdoor environment. In Paper I, the development of a new method was reported for the determination of the brominated fl ame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in air using sampling with glass fi ber fi lter and polyurethane foam (PUF), ...

A microchip solid-phase extraction method for purification of DNA from biological samples, such as blood, is demonstrated. Silica beads were packed into glass microchips and the beads immobilized with sol-gel to provide a stable and reproducible solid phase onto which DNA could be adsorbed. Optimization of the DNA loading conditions established a higher DNA recovery at pH 6.1 than 7.6. This low...

Solid phase extraction (SPE) techniques have been widely used for the pre-concentration and separation of trace metal ions in aqueous systems prior to their determination. Among the techniques available, the dithiocarbamate solid-phase extraction method is very selective because dithiocarbamate reagents do not react with many metals (alkali, earth alkali and some other metals such as Al and Cr)...
