An analytical method for the simultaneous measurement of trace Cu, Sn, and Bi in sea water has been investigated by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry. Amberlite IRC-718 resin was used as a solid phase in solid-liquid extraction technique for the removal of matrix interferences such as Na, S, P, and other polyatomic ion species. Recoveries of 99.8% for Cu, 99.6% for Sn, and 97.9% for Bi were obtained for the standard spiked sample. The developed method was applied to analysis of trace metals in sea water.

The separation and sample extraction methods of 19 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water samples were investigated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and some extraction methods involved liquid-liquid extraction, disk extraction and solid-phase extraction methods. The separation of 19 PAHs was possible by partial variation of oven temperature of GC/MS in temperature range $80{\sim}310^{\circ}C$. Extraction procedures of PAHs in water samples were somewhat modified and compared as extraction recoveries and the simplicity of methods. Extraction recoveries of PAHs were 71.3~109.5% by liquid-liquid extraction method. By using disk extraction, good extraction recoveries (80.7~94.9%) were obtained in case of $C_{18}$ disk extraction method by filtration. And extraction recoveries of PAHs by $C_{18}$ solid-phase were in the range of 51.8~77.9%. Method detection limits (S/N=5) of 19 PAHs were in the range of 0.25~6.25 ppb by liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction and 0.05~1.25 ppb by disk extraction methods.

The simultaneous analysis of samples, 16 organic pesticides in water among 129 priority pollutants listed by EPA, was performed by GC-ECD (electron capture detector) and GC/MS-SIM (selected ion monitoring). Two extraction procedures, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE), were studied as an extraction and concentration method. Accuracy and precision of the methods were measured by the calculation of mean recovery and mean relative standard deviation. Finally, the detection limits, the experimental limitations, and prospects were discussed.

일반적으로 phthalate esters의 전처리방법에는 액액추출법(liquid-liquid extraction), 고상추출법(Solid-phase Extraction, SPE), 고상미세추출법(Solid-phase micro extraction, SPME) 등의 분석방법이 있다. 그 중에서 본 연구에서는 SPE를 이용하여 간편하고 정확성이 높으며, 적은 양의 유기용제를 사용하여 전처리함으로써 2차적인 환경오염을 줄일 수 있다는 점에서 다른 전처리 방법보다 유용하다고 할 수 있다. 검출감도 측면에서 phthalate esters의 경우는 구조적으로 안정적인 편이나 페놀류의 경우 hydroxy group 때문에 GC/MS 분석시 유도체화 과정이 필수적인데 이번 연구에서 사용한 BSTFA/TMCS는 비교적 쉽고 빠르게 유도체 화할 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 더 많은 연구가 필요하겠지만 앞서서의 결과에서도 알 수 있듯이 전반적으로 검출한계가 0.05$\sim$0.5 $\mu$g/L 정도로 높고, 4-nonyl phenol을 제외하고 80% 이상의 양호한 회수율을 나타낸 것으로 미루어 보아 phthalate esters, phenols의 효율적인 동시분석이 가능함을 알 수 있다.

A solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the extraction and analysis of methyl-tert-butyl ether has been described. methyl-tert-butyl ether was extracted from aqueous solution using SPME fiber coated polydimethylsiloxane and analysed by GC-MS with capillary column. Extraction parameters and chromatographic separation conditions were optimized. The applied method represented good analytical performance in terms of precision (3-8%, RSD) and accuracy(93-102%, mean recovery) with a method detection limit of 0.03 ppb.

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of beraprost in human plasma. Plasma samples were transferred into 96-well OASIS HLB extraction plate using an automated sample handling system and the drugs were eluted with methanol. The eluents were then evaporated and reconstituted with water. All sample transfer and solid-phase extraction (SPE) was automated through the application of both the PerkinElmer MultiPROBE II HT and TOMTEC Quadra 96 workstation. (omitted)

An analytical method for the determination of thyroid hormones in urine samples has been studied by using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detector/electro-spray mass spectrometry. Seven thyroid hormones were successfully separated by gradient elution on the reverse phase Hypersil ODS column (4.6 mm I.D., 100 mm length, particle size $5{\mu}m$) with ammonium formate buffer and acetonitrile, and UV spectra and mass fragment could be confirmed. The extraction recoveries of thyroid hormones in the urine samples (pH 3) were in the range of 89.0-113.1% with solid-phase extraction by C18, followed by elution with 4 ml of methanol/ammonium hydroxide (9 : 1). The calibration curves showed good linearity with the correlation coefficients ($r^2$) varying from 0.992 to 0.998 and the detection limits of all analytes were obtained in the range of 2-4 ng/ml (3.8-13.0 pmol/ml).

The analysis of n-butylbenzene and 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) as volatile organic compounds in biota samples was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring mode. The target compounds, n-butylbenzene and DBCP, in biota samples were extracted by headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) with $100{\mu}m$ polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) fiber and purge & trap method. The extraction recoveries of these compounds obtained by SPME was 85.8% for n-butylbenzene and 92.4% for DBCP, respectively. Each value of method detection limit were $0.15{\mu}g/kg$ and $0.05{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. While in the case of purge & trap method, the extraction recovery was 115.2% for n-butylbenzene, 80.9% for DBCP and method detection limit were $0.04{\mu}g/kg$ and $0.70{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. The extraction yields and detection limits of these compounds obtained by purge & trap were equivalent to those by SPME.

Grayanotoxin-contaminated honey exhibits toxicity. In this study, a reliable and sensitive liquid-chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometric method (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the quantitation of grayanotoxin I and grayanotoxin III in honey. The grayanotoxins were extracted from honey via solid phase extraction and separated on a biphenyl column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.5 % acetic acid in water and methanol. Mass spectrometric detection was performed in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode with positive electrospray ionization. The calibration curve covered the range 0.25 to 100 ㎍/g. The intra- and inter-day deviations were less than 10.6 %, and the accuracy was between 94.3 and 114.0 %. The validated method was successfully applied to the determination of grayanotoxins in mad honey from Nepal. The concentrations of grayanotoxin I and grayanotoxin III in 33 out of 60 mad honey samples were 0.75 - 64.86 ㎍/g and 0.25 - 63.99 ㎍/g, respectively. The method established herein would help in preventing and confirming grayanotoxin poisoning.
