Simultaneous extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through the complete dissolution of solid biological samples in sodium hydroxide/urea/thiourea aqueous solution.
Journal of Chromatography. A 2016 December 10
In order to precisely and simultaneously extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for measurement using a high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FL), a novel sample preparation method was developed. This method is based on the complete and fast dissolution of biological samples in a new non-alcoholic alkaline medium. A solution composed of NaOH/urea/thiourea at an optimized ratio was used for complete dissolution of approximately 0.25g dried fish samples within 20min. The proposed method was conducted at 10°C and under atmospheric pressure to obtain a stable and highly homogeneous solution, without the need for microwaves or any other apparatus. This process operates at considerably lower temperature than conventional methods and provides an opportunity to simultaneously extract the target analytes from their matrices by adding the extracting solvent in the initial steps of the dissolution; this process greatly reduced the time of analysis and the loss of analytes via vaporization. Several key parameters were identified and their effects on precision and extraction recoveries were investigated. Linearity over a calibration range of 1.0-100 and 2.5-100ngg(-1) was achieved, with high coefficients of determination (r(2)) ranging between 0.9987 and 0.9998. Based on relative standard deviations (n=5), the intra-day and inter-day precisions of the spiked PAHs were found to be better than 3.1% and 3.2%, respectively, at a concentration level of 25ngg(-1). The recoveries of PAH from spiked marine fish tissues and shrimp samples were in the range of 90.6%-100.4%. The spiked samples were also treated with the alcoholic alkaline and Soxhlet extraction methods in order to provide a comparison.
