RESUMO

The advancement of traditional sample preparation techniques has brought about miniaturization systems designed to scale down conventional methods and advocate for environmentally friendly analytical approaches. Although often referred to as green analytical strategies, the effectiveness of these methods is intricately linked to the properties of the sorbent utilized. Moreover, to fully embrace implementing these methods, it is crucial to innovate and develop new sorbent or solid phases that enhance the adaptability of miniaturized techniques across various matrices and analytes. Graphene-based materials exhibit remarkable versatility and modification potential, making them ideal sorbents for miniaturized strategies due to their high surface area and functional groups. Their notable adsorption capability and alignment with green synthesis approaches, such as bio-based graphene materials, enable the use of less sorbent and the creation of biodegradable materials, enhancing their eco-friendly aspects towards green analytical practices. Therefore, this study provides an overview of different types of hybrid graphene-based materials as well as their applications in crucial miniaturized techniques, focusing on offline methodologies such as stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS), pipette-tip solid-phase extraction (PT-SPE), disposable pipette extraction (DPX), dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (d-µ-SPE), and magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE).

RESUMO

Benznidazole is the main drug used in Chagas disease and its determination in plasma samples is useful in several situations. Hence, robust and accurate bioanalytical methods are needed. In this context, sample preparation deserves special attention, as it is the most error-prone, labor-intensive and time-consuming step. Microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) is a miniaturized technique, developed to minimize the use of hazardous solvents and sample amount. In this context, this study aimed to develop and validate a MEPS coupled to high performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of benznidazole in human plasma. MEPS optimization was performed by a 24 full factorial experimental design, which resulted in about 25 % of recovery. The best condition was achieved when 500 µL of plasma,10 draw-eject cycles, sample volume drawn of 100 µL, and desorption with three times of 50 µL of acetonitrile were used. The chromatographic separation was performed with a C18 (150 × 4.5 mm, 5 µm) column. The mobile phase was composed of water:acetonitrile (60:40) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1. The developed method was validated and proved to be selective, precise, accurate, robust and linear in the range from 0.5 to 6.0 µg mL-1. The method was applied to three healthy volunteers that made use of benznidazole tablets and showed to be adequate to assess this drug in plasma samples.

RESUMO

A simple method was developed to determine 14 endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in bottled waters, based on dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (d-µ-SPE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Extraction was optimized using 2 k-1 factorial and Doehlert experimental designs. Optimized conditions were 80 mg C18, 25 min extraction at 1000 rpm, and 6 min desorption time. Repeatability was below 17 % for all EDCs. LOD and LOQ varied from 1.60 ng L-1 (estradiol, E2) to 23.2 ng L-1 (dimethylphthalate, DMP) and from 5.33 ng L-1 (E2) to 77.3 ng L-1 (DMP). We found DMP and bisphenol A (BPA) in samples after the heat treatment. DMP was up to 58.7 µg L-1, while BPA was up to 1.34 µg L-1. Tolerance of daily intake (TDI) for DMP were 2.50-2.94 µg kg-1 day-1 (children) and 1.43-1.68 µg kg-1 day-1 (adults). TDI for BPA were 0.03-0.07 µg kg-1 day-1 (children) and 0.01-0.04 µg kg-1 day-1 (adults).

RESUMO

Analytical methods such as liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) are widely used techniques for the analyses of different classes of compounds. This is due to their highlighted capacity for separating and identifying components in complex matrices such food samples. However, in most cases, effective analysis of the target analyte becomes challenging due to the complexity of the sample, especially for quantification of trace concentrations. In this case, miniaturized sample preparation methods have been used as a strategy for analysis of complex matrices. This involves removing the interferents and concentrating the analytes in a sample. These methods combine simplicity and effectiveness and given their miniaturized scale, they are in accordance with green chemistry precepts. Besides, ambient mass spectrometry represents a new trend in fast and rapid analyses, especially for qualitative and screening analysis. However, for complex matrix analyses, sample preparation is still a difficult step and the miniaturized sample preparation techniques show great potential for an improved and widespread use of ambient mass spectrometry techniques. . This review aims to contribute as an overview of current miniaturized sample preparation techniques and ambient mass spectrometry methods as different approaches for selective and sensitive analysis of residues in food samples.

RESUMO

A bioanalytical method for the determination of lumefantrine and its metabolite desbutyl-lumefantrine in plasma samples using microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) and high-performance liquid chromatography was developed and validated. A complete factorial planning and surface response approach were employed to optimize the extraction parameters sample volume, dilution, aspirated sample volume and extraction cycles. The method employed C18 MEPS sorbent and diazepam as internal standard (IS). Separation was performed on a Luna C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 35 °C, with mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and 0.05 % trifluoroacetic acid (68:32, v/v), detection at 305 nm and injection volume of 25 µL. The developed method showed to be selective, precise, accurate and linear in the range of 50-5000 ng/mL for lumefantrine and desbutyl-lumefantrine. Using the optimized MEPS procedure, high recovery rates were obtained for both analytes and IS (92.2 %-99.0 %). The method was successfully applied for the determination of lumefantrine and its metabolite in human plasma samples after oral administration of lumefantrine tablets in healthy volunteers.

RESUMO

Given the increasing need for analyzing natural or contaminating compounds in complex food matrices in a simple and automated way, coupling miniaturized sample preparation techniques with chromatographic systems have become a growing field of research. In this regard, given the low extraction efficiency of conventional sorbent phases, the development of materials with enhanced extraction capabilities is of particular interest. Here we present several synthesized graphene-based materials supported on aminopropyl silica as sorbents for the extraction of xanthines. The synthesized materials were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Aminopropyl silica coated with graphene oxide and functionalized with octadecylsilane/end-capped (SiGOC18ecap) showed the best performance for xanthines extraction. Hence, this material was employed as an in-tube solid phase microextraction (in-tube SPME) device coupled online with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and applied for the analysis of xanthines in roasted coffee samples. Extraction parameters and detection conditions were optimized. The method showed low limits of quantification (0.3-1.0 µg L-1), precision as relative standard deviation (RSD) values lower than 10%, recoveries between 73 and 109%, and pre-concentration factors from 5.6 to 7.2. Caffeine was determined in all ground roasted and instant coffee samples, in a wide range (0.9 to 36.8 mg g-1), and small amounts of theobromine and theophylline were also detected in some samples. This work demonstrated that functionalized graphene-based materials represent a promising new sorbent class for in-tube SPME, showing improved extraction capacity. The method was efficient, simple, and fast for the analysis of xanthines, demonstrating an excellent potential to be applied in other matrices.

RESUMO

Advances in the area of sample preparation are significant and have been growing significantly in recent years. This initial step of the analysis is essential and must be carried out properly, consisting of a complicated procedure with multiple stages. Consequently, it corresponds to a potential source of errors and will determine, at the end of the process, either a satisfactory result or a fail. One of the advances in this field includes the miniaturization of extraction techniques based on the conventional sample preparation procedures such as liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. These modern techniques have gained prominence in the face of traditional methods since they minimize the consumption of organic solvents and the sample volume. As another feature, it is possible to reuse the sorbents, and its coupling to chromatographic systems might be automated. The review will emphasize the main techniques based on liquid-phase microextraction, as well as those based upon the use of sorbents. The first group includes currently popular techniques such as single drop microextraction, hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction, and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. In the second group, solid-phase microextraction techniques such as in-tube solid-phase microextraction, stir bar sorptive extraction, dispersive solid-phase extraction, dispersive micro solid-phase microextraction, and microextraction by packed sorbent are highlighted. These approaches, in common, aim the determination of analytes at low concentrations in complex matrices. This article describes some characteristics, recent advances, and trends on miniaturized sample preparation techniques, as well as their current applications in food, environmental, and bioanalysis fields.
