Abstract
We report a significantly more rapid method for quantitation of the urinary mercapturic acids of the isomeric toxicants crotonaldehyde, methacrolein, and methyl vinyl ketone. The major innovation of this novel method is detection by liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry-selected reaction monitoring as opposed to detection by negative electrospray ionization in our previously reported method. The new method also uses an improved Raptor Biphenyl HPLC column. The total chromatographic analysis time was reduced to about 8 min compared to 35 min in our previously published method. Accuracy, precision, and ruggedness of the new method were established, and its suitability for the analysis of urine samples from 2500 cigarette smokers and non-smokers was confirmed. The improved method is practical for quantitation of these important toxicants in clinical studies requiring analysis of thousands of urine samples.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
