... A one-vial extraction method for the quantitation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in human stool was developed. Samples were extracted with an acidified aqueous internal standard solution, sodium sulfate, and diethyl ether, followed by analysis with GC-FID. Accuracy, in terms of relative recovery, was typically between 90 and 110% for most analytes; without internal standard, the accuracy was a ...
... Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are gut microbiota metabolites recognized for their beneficial effects on the host organism. In this study, a simple and rapid sample preparation method combined to SCFAs analysis by direct injection and gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), for the determination and quantification of eight SCFAs (acetic, propionic, i-butyric, butyric, ...

Abstract:
... In this work, the suitability of atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) has been assessed for the determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) by gas chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS). The APPI of target compounds has been tested in both positive and negative ion modes. Under positive ion m ...

Abstract:
... The extraction of small lipophilic molecules (SLMs) in the soil-root interface that play a role in belowground ecological interactions between plants and insect herbivores was investigated. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microtubing has been shown to absorb root SLMs selectively in low-disturbance setups, where analytes were extracted from the polymer with methanol. This technique was adapted to isol ...

Abstract:
... The possibility of detecting drugs of abuse in bone marrow represents an important issue in forensic toxicology. Bone marrow is an alternative matrix for cases in which the matrices commonly used in forensic practice are unavailable or unfeasible for analysis. The aim of this study was to develop a method for bone cleaning and bone marrow pretreatment and subsequently validate a quantitative metho ...
... An analytical procedure for the simultaneous and confirmatory determination of melamine and related compounds, viz. ammeline, ammelide and cyanuric acid, in various food matrices (including milk, milk powder, cereal, biscuit and porcine muscle) using isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (ID-GC-MS) has been developed. In brief, the target analytes were extracted from a homogenised ...

Abstract:
... Sensitive and selective methods for the screening (GC-MS) and confirmatory analysis (GC-MS/MS) of 17α- and 17β- trenbolone in bovine urine were developed. In the first stage of the analysis, the enzymatic hydrolysis of trenbolone metabolites with glucuronidase AS-HP in acetate buffer (pH 5.2) solution was carried out. Free compounds were extracted from urine with diethyl ether. For the purificatio ...

Abstract:
... This paper describes the quantitative method of determination of chosen substances from resorcylic acid lactones group: zeranol, taleranol, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol, and zearalanone in bovine muscle tissue. The presented method is based on double diethyl ether liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), solid phase extraction (SPE) clean up, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The res ...
