dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT
The present work displays capillary liquid chromatographic column switching methodology tailored for fast, sensitive and selective determination of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in human plasma using µ-electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric detection. 50 µL plasma samples were diluted five times and underwent protein precipitation with TCA. The supernatants were loaded onto a 320 µm I.D. x 30 mm 10 µm Kromasil C18 pre-column, providing on-line sample clean-up and analyte enrichment, prior to back-flushed elution onto a 320 µm I.D. x 150 mm 3.5 µm Kromasil C18 analytical column. Loading flow rates up to 150 µL/min in addition to the use of an acetonitrile/water gradient containing 10 mM ammonium acetate provided a total analysis time of 12.5 minutes. Ionization was performed in the negative mode and PFOA was observed as [M-H] - at m/z 413.3 and [M-CO2-H]- at m/z 369.4. PFOS was observed as [M-H] - at m/z 499.2. The method was validated over the concentration range of 5-1250 ng analyte/mL plasma, yielding linearity correlation coefficients of 0.9964 and 0.9910 for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. The within-assay (n = 6) and between-assay (n = 6) precisions were in the range 1.9 - 20 % RSD and 9.6 -11.7 % RSD, respectively, and the recoveries were measured as 26.5% and 10.2 % for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. The mass limit of detection was 125 pg for both analytes, corresponding to a PFOA and PFOS concentration limit of detection of 0.1 ng/mL diluted plasma corresponding to 0.5 ng/mL plasma. The method was applied for the determination of PFOA and PFOS in a plasma sample obtained from a blood bank, but the compounds were not found above the detection limit. | nor |
