    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary An analytical method has been developed to determine the chloroethene series, tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE),cisdichloroethene (cis-DCE) andtransdichloroethene (trans-DCE) in environmental biotreatment studies using gas chromatography coupled with a solid phase micro extraction (SPME) technique. The volatile chlorinated compounds in aqueous solution can be analyzed directly without solvent extraction, purge and trap, or thermal heating. The calibration curves have demonstrated good linear relationships within 50.0 to 3000.0 μg L−1 concentration range. Detection limits are 18.0, 5.0, 25.0, and 42.0 μg L−1, for PCE, TCE,cis-DCE andtrans-DCE, respectively. Factors which affect the SPME process, such as sample adsorption time, thermal desorption time, and concentration of salt in the matrix, have also been evaluated.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Local anaesthetics have been shown to be extractable from human whole blood samples by direct immersion (DI)-solid phase micro extraction (SPME). After deproteinization with perchloric acid, the pH of the clear supernatants of human whole blood samples containing the drugs were adjusted to about 7 with 10 M NaOH in the presence of NaCl; a polydimethylsiloxanecoated SPME fiber was then immersed directly into the sample solution to allow adsorption of the drugs before capillary gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection. The DI-SPME for 1-mL whole blood gave peaks for all the drugs; only a small amount of background noise appeared and this gave no problems in the detection of the drugs. Recoveries of the ten drugs from human whole blood was 0.74–19.7 %. The calibration curves for seven drugs showed linearity in the range of 0.25–12 μg mL−1 whole blood, with detection limits of 54–158 ng mL−1.

    Notes: Summary Evaluation of the toxicity of Dicofol was carried out onAstyanax bimaculatus schubarti, a characteristic fish species living in tropical rivers and lakes. Experiments were under laboratory controlled conditions with atmospheric air flow and dilution water at 25°C in the static mode. Fish samples were collected and submitted to appropriate analytical procedure: Soxhlet extraction, clean-up by Florisil adsorbent and finally quantification by GC-ECD. The results showed good recoveries (〉 89%) for the developed method both in water and fish samples. The lethal concentration, LC50, and the bioconcentration factor, BCF, were 18.13 mg L−1 and 241.70, respectively forAstyanax bimaculatus schubarti demonstrating the lipophilic nature of the studied compound.

    Notes: Summary An analytical method for the confirmation of 30 pesticide residues in cereals and related products has been developed. Splitless injection with electronic pressure control using constant carrier gas flow gives higher sensitivity and better resolution than electronic pressure control and isobaric analysis. The use of electronic pressure control assures consistent retention times enabling selected ions to be collected in short time windows. Mass spectrometric detection in the selected ion monitoring mode using three ions for each pesticide ensured good sensitivity and accurate pesticide confirmation.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The use of microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MASE) as an alternative for conventional solvent extraction procedures for the determination of some triazine herbicides in soil samples has been investigated. In this study MASE method development was focused on the selection of a suitable extraction solvent prior to the instrumental analysis of uncleaned extracts with gas chromatography and nitrogen-specific detection. A mixture of dichloromethane-methanol (90∶10, v/v) yielded recoveries ranging from 89 to 103 (spiked level 200 μg/kg) with RSDs ranging from 2.1 to 5.3%. This solvent mixture is also very convenient for further procedure. The selected MASE procedure was tested by analyzing freshly spiked soil samples and samples with aged residues of atrazine, desethylatrazine, desisopropylatrazine and simazine. The results were compared with those obtained by a conventional liquid extraction method. The comparative study indicated that MASE yields recoveries at least as good as those obtained by the conventional method. Moreover, the MASE procedure provides low solvent consumption in combination with a high sample throughput.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The dual-channel detection of samples with detectors coupled in series is possible only when the first detector is a non-destructive one. However, the configuration where a destructive detector, such as the flame ionization detector (FID), is followed by the flameless, sulfur chemiluminescence detector (flameless SCD) can be used to detect simultaneously carbon and sulfur. In this work, the FID and flameless SCD are coupled in series for dual-channel detection of sulfur compounds in three gasoline samples. Optimum conditions for flameless SCD were evaluated by altering the flow rates of hydrogen and air and the oxygen pressure to the ozone generator. Samples are identified by retention indices where the homologous n-alkylthiols are used as standards. The increment in retention index per carbon number of the n-alkylthiols is 105.54 in the Quadrex 007 series, 0.32 mm i.d., 4 μm film, column.

    Keywords: Gas chromatography ; flame photometric detector ; Sulfur in diesel fuel
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary A new method is proposed for the computerized determination of sulfur in diesel fuel by capillary gas chromatography with a flame photometric detector (FPD). The diesel fuel is injected in the gas chromatograph after dilution with n-hexane. After recording the chromatogram, the sulfur content in the diesel fuel (mg L−1 or w/w) is given directly by an integrator provided with a Basic card or by a personal computer in which the algorithm of the calibration curve has been entered. Use of a calibration curve does not require the identification of the numerous sulfur compounds present in diesel fuel. The calibration curve was corrected for the quenching effect that the hydrocarbon components of the diesel fuel produce on the detector response. The method was tested using diesel fuel with a known sulfur concentration and was found to be very accurate; it is reproducible, fast and may be automated.

    Notes: Summary The conditions which affect the reproducibility of characteristic chromatographic profiles of semivolatile compounds from true cinnamon and cassia by headspace solid-phase microextraction are determined. Optimum conditions for sample amount, vial size, temperature, sampling time, and fiber type for steady state sampling conditions are identified. Vial size was an unexpected critical parameter possibly related to the build up of internal ternal pressure during sample heating followed by expulsion of a portion of the vapor phase through the septum as it was punctured by the syringe. Gas chromatography with ion trap mass spectrometry was used to identify the major volatile compounds in cassia and true cinnamon. Reasonable semi-quantitative agreement (r 2〉0.87 and generally greater than 0.93) was observed for the major semivolatile compounds isolated by headspace solid-phase microextraction and solvent-assisted supercritical fluid extraction. The extracts isolated by solid-phase microextraction contained relatively high concentrations of terpene-type compounds in low abundance in the solvent-assisted supercritical fluid extracts, but these compounds were of little value in distinguishing the botanical origin of authentic cinnamon and cassia samples. The latter were easily distinguished by the presence of eugenol and benzyl benzoate in true cinnamon, that was absent in cassia, and the presence of coumarin and δ-cadinene, in cassia, that was either absent or in low concentration in true cinnamon. Headspace solid-phase microextraction provides a rapid and simple method for establishing the botanical origin of the principal cinnamons of commerce.

    Notes: Summary The performance of a gas chromatographic system coupled to an atomic emission detector (GC/AED) is tested by comparison with a two-dimensional gas chromatographic system equipped with capillary columns of different polarity and simultaneous electron capture and nitrogen-phosphorus detection (ECD/NPD), for the determination of the acaricides chlordimeform, bromopropylate, amitraz and coumaphos on spiked honey samples. The acaricides were extracted with ann-hexane/acetone mixture (80∶20, v/v) with a further clean-up step on an octadecylsilane cartridge. The 193 nm carbon emission line is the best choice in terms of sensitivity whereas the ECD/NPD system gives better selectivity.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Chemically bonded squalene(ene) phases have been synthesized via a hydride modified silanization process using dimethylchlorosilane, triethoxysilane and trichlorosilane. The surface structure of the bonded phases were characterized with DRIFT and solid state NMR studies. The results of the latter indicate successful bonding of a non-terminal olefin to the silica surface and that bonding of individual squalene molecules appeared not to occur at the same site(s) presumably due to steric hindrance. Among the phases examined, the trichlorosilane-based material exhibits better chromatographic properties probably due to greater surface coverage and hence effective non-polar interaction between the solutes and the bonded ligands. Under isothermal conditions, the present packings produced fast and efficient separation of C1–C4 saturated hydrocarbons on shorter columns than similar columns containing alkyl- or bidentate alkyl-modified silica packings at low column head pressure and are thermally stable at temperatures up to 250°C or higher.

    Notes: Summary The methanol and free glycerol content of vegetable oil methyl esters used as diesel fuel (biodiesel) is very important in describing the quality of this fuel and is therefore limited by specifications. A previously described GLC method for the determination of free glycerol in biodiesel has been further developed and also allows the simultaneous determination of methanol. Sample preparation includes dissolving in dimethylformamide, silylation with bis-trimethylsilyltrifluoracetamide (BSTFA) and separation on a methylsilicone fluid, coated-capillary column using either FID or MS-detection. Ethanol and 1,4-butanediol were used as internal standards. Both detection systems show sufficient sensitivity for concentrations relevant to biodiesel samples. The recovery was tested using a RME-sample containing known amounts of methanol and glycerol.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary In order to give a molecular interpretation to the phase transition observed with densely bonded octadecyl-silicas in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) as well as in gas chromatography (GC), nine new bonded silicas were prepared including grafts with polar groups at the extremities of long spacers (18 carbon atoms). The interpretation is simplified by using large-pore macroporous substrates and inverse GC in conjunction with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as the test method. A phase transition is observed in almost all cases, but the temperature range is lower and more extended in comparison to the dimethyloctadecyl reference silica. An interpretation of the phase transition is given, based on the folding of the chains and the resulting “autodensification” of the layer.

    Notes: Summary Gas-solid partition coefficients (K) for n-hexane in high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been measured at conditions applicable to large-scale drying utilizing a novel headspace method. The method features considerable versability and simplicity due to the control of experimental conditions designed to favor full extraction of the analyte into the headspace. By combining this full extraction technique with a traditional static headspace experimental scheme, a method which measuresK and residual concentration is achieved. The results show that partition coefficients differ significantly between HDPE in its virgin powder and pellet forms, as well as among various HDPE grades. The differences are shown to be attributable to differences in % crystallinity of the specific polymer. Data collected over a wide range of hexane concentrations reveals saturation levels (solubilities) which correspond to crossover from evaporative to diffusion-controlled drying.

    Notes: Summary Pure topologically based incremental models have been developed in order to estimate the retention indexes of aromatic compounds substituted with groups containing the hetero atoms nitrogen, oxygen and halogens. The bond-types of the compounds are counted and used as molecular descriptors. The observed estimation errors are about 1 % for compounds containing no hetero atoms and for those containing halogenated substituents; the errors are approximately 2 % for aromatic compounds with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing substituents. The method is validated by prediction of the retention indexes for an additional group of aromatic compounds (the validation data set).

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The capillary gas chromatographic retention behavior of α-pinene and tricyclene has been investigated on stationary phases of different polarities. On all but one of the columns employed, tricyclene eluted before α-pinene; only permethylated β-cyclodextrins dissolved in moderately polar polisiloxanes gave a reversed elution order. The intermolecular interactions which caused the unexpected retention behavior were investigated in detail, applying methods of computer simulation. To achieve this, we have developed a calculation algorithm on the basis of molecular mechanical optimizations and programmed it in a macro. This makes it possible to systematically investigate a given configuration space in which all the possible interactions can take place. It was shown that permethylated β-cyclodextrin as host molecule for both guest molecules offers an optimum cavity size. As a result the number of energetically favorable contacts between host and guest molecules as well as the strength of the interactions in this stationary phase were larger. As a consequence the elution order, normally only influenced by the vapor pressure of the compounds at a given temperature, was changed. Nonspecific interactions played an especially important role for these kinds of substances.

    Notes: Summary The quantitation of 3,5-stigmastadiene and other steroidal hydrocarbons, commonly known as steradienes, is a valid tool for the recognition of refining (in particular bleaching) of edible oils; the evidence of this process is nowadays of a great interest due to growing market for “virgin”, cold-pressed, “natural” oils. Due to the long time required (about 4 hours) and the amount of solvents employed (about 650 mL) to perform the official analysis, other methods have been recently proposed, the most important of which involves high performance liquid chromatography coupled with capillary gas chromatography (HPLC-GC). In this study the results of ten oil samples, analysed by both the official method and HPLC-GC, are reported and the two methods compared and discussed, for routine use, in terms of sample preparation, time of analysis and setting up, difficulty and reproducibility.

    Notes: Summary A comparison of the official EPA method 515.1 for determination of chlorinated acidic pesticides and a modification of it is illustrated. Extraction of the analytes from water and their determination and quantitation is by gas chromatography-electron capture detection (GC-ECD), liquid chromatography-UV detection and liquid chromatography-particle beam mass spectrometry. Although HPLC-PBMS was found to be less sensitive than the GC-ECD method, it was, nevertheless, more sensitive than HPLC-UV. The modified method is simpler, quicker and allows more accurate determination of pesticides in aqueous samples.

Capillary gas chromatography and ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography were applied to desorbed and liquid samples obtained in an intercomparison indoor study. The methods developed here show some advantages over existing methods in terms of analysis time, sensitivity and loading capacity.

    Notes: Summary Since the electron-capture detector (ECD) is highly selective, it is imperative to use a more universal ionization detector in conjunction with the ECD in order to detect non-capturing or weakly capturing compounds. Also in an EC study of weakly or moderately strong electron-capturing compounds, it is necessary to identify the EC peak of the compound by identifying the major component with an ionization detector. In this paper we have shown that the pulsed discharge detector can be interchanged between the EC and the helium ionization modes within 4–6 s. The application of this procedure has been illustrated with a mixture of alkane/alkene chlorocompounds. The interchange between EC and argon photoionization modes has also been investigated. The change from EC to argon photoionization also occurs in 4–6 s but the reverse process requires ∼9 s.

    Notes: Summary Ethanol has been found extractable from human whole blood and urine samples by headspace solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) with a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated fiber. After heating a vial containing the body fluid sample with ethanol, and isobutanol as internal standard (IS) at 70°C in the presence of (NH4)2SO4, a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated SPME fiber was exposed in the headspace of the vial to allow adsorption of the compounds. The fiber needle was then injected into a middle-bore capillary gas chromatography (GC) port. The headspace SPME-GC gave intense peaks for both compounds; a small amount of background noises appeared, but did not interfere with the detection of the compounds. Recoveries of ethanol and IS were 0.049 and 0.026% for whole blood, respectively, and 0.054 and 0.085% for urine, respectively. The calibration curves for ethanol showed excellent linearity in the range of 80–5000 mg L−1 for whole blood and 40–5000 mg L−1 for urine; the detection limits for both samples were 20 and 10 mg L−1, respectively. The data on actual determination of ethanol after the drinking of beer are also presented for two subjects.

    Notes: Summary Phencyclidine (PCP) was found to be extractable by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) from human whole blood and urine. Sample solutions were heated at 90°C in the presence of NaOH and K2CO3, and an SPME fiber was exposed in the headspace of a vial for 30 min. Immediately after withdrawal of the fiber, it was analyzed by gas chromatography with surface ionization detection (GC-SID). Recoveries of PCP were approximately 9.3–10.8% and 39.8–47.8% for whole blood and urine samples, respectively. The calibration curve for PCP showed good linearity in the range 2.5–100 ng mL−1 whole blood and 0.5–100 ng mL−1 urine. The detection limits were approximately 1.0 ng mL−1 for whole blood and 0.25 ng mL−1 for urine.

    Notes: Summary Statistical and factor analysis have been used to test the ability of several molecular descriptors to predict the retention indexes (I) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons determined on SPB-5 and SPB-20 stationary phases. Regression analysis with both columns showed that linear regression with connectivity index and bending energy of the molecules as independent variables gave the best correlation coefficients. ΔI 20–5, considered to be a measure of the polar forces in retention, gave a good correlation with the van der Waals radii of the molecules, or strain, and bending energy.

    Notes: Summary This report was conceived as a source for the relations between five pneumatic parameters of carrier gas-inlet and outlet pressure, inlet and outlet velocity, and average velocity. Any pair of these parameters can be independent while the remaining three can be expressed as functions of the independent pair. As the total number of the independent pairs is ten, thirty different functions describing relations between arbitrary independent pairs and dependent parameters can be identified. All thirty were derived below together with the complete set of bounds for variations of independent parameters. To derive some relations, a third order rational equation had to be solved. Some properties of that solution are discussed. A simple case of vacuum operations with zero outlet pressure has also been considered.

    Notes: Summary If the dependence of HETP on temperature is specified under isothermal conditions, it is possible to predict the HETP for programmed temperature elution and subsequently peak width at half-height. This requires knowledge of isothermal retention time at retention temperature, which is computed by means of a model including the variation with temperature of dead time estimated from 3 homologs with carbon number: n, (n+j), (n+jk), where n, j and k are any integers. Predicted and measured peak widths corresponded within 4–9%.

Retention factors, specific retention volumes and activity coefficients for alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons andn-alkanes were determined. Phenols and 2,3, and 4-chlorobenzyl chlorides were separated on the new phase. Based on experimental data some assumptions were made on the possible types of intermolecular forces between solute and solvent.

    Notes: Summary A capillary gas-liquid chromatography method for the analysis of free short chain fatty acids in intestinal samples was developed. Analytical results obtained with intestinal samples are influenced not only by high molecular mass matrix constituents but also by matrix components with a molecular weight smaller than 5000 daltons. To achieve a faithful transfer of SCFA into the chromatographic system it was important to avoid accumulation of involatile deposits on the surface of the inlet liner. Cleaning of the inlet linear lead to a significant weakening of matrix effects. The method described, using an Innowax column, is more effective, particularly with respect to precision and sensitivity, and is clearly superior to packed columns. The capillary is the column of choice for the separation of short fatty acids in samples from the small intestine and stomach.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic method is presented which distinguishes phosphine from hydrogen sulfide and other possible headspace gases of anaerobic microbial cultures. In anaerobic cultures spiked with phosphine, this gas is recovered in the liquid and gaseous phase down to 10 pg per ml of gas or liquid. No biogenically produced phosphine was found. Phosphine in amounts as small as 30 ng per 1 can be stored for several days in glass bottles covered with rubber septa, filled with nitrogen, in the presence or absence of water or of an anaerobic bacterial culture. Due to the selectivity of the detector and the retention characteristics of the porous layer open tubular polymer column alkanes, alkenes and organosulfur compounds routinely found in anaerobic bacterial headspaces do not interfere with the analytical quantification of phosphine.

Transitions temperatures are determined by inverse gas chromatography using standard columns. Good agreement with values determined by differential scanning calorimetry are found. Analytical capabilities of the two liquid crystals are shown in glass capillary columns. Compared to examples in the literature, the crystals used separated different kinds of solutes. In addition, high molecular mass solutes were eluted at relatively low temperatures. Typical separations are observed for hydrocarbon positional isomers, aromatic hydrocarbons, geometric isomers, and volatile aroma compounds. Comparison between the performance of internal and external, NO2-liquid crystals is made.

Best results were achieved when a 1 m retention gap was used, injecting a small amount of sample and using a 7 cm syringe needle.

Fraction A contained poly-ortho PCBs, Fraction B mono-ortho PCBs, and Fraction C non-ortho PCBs. The Supelclean ENVI-Carb/Celite column was used in combination with a sample preparation procedure for pre-cleaning of acid-stable chlorinated hydrocarbons such as DDT and its metabolites, HCH isomers, and regulation-relevant PCB congeners. The method was optimized using standard solutions of 55 PCB congeners, 8 chlorinated pesticides and contaminated cod liver oil samples. The influence of traces of remaining matrix on the elution profile of the organochlorine compounds on Supelclean ENVI-Carb/Celite was observed. Quantitation was carried out by GC-ECD with fused silica capillary columns of different polarity.

    Notes: Summary We report a method for the analysis of triterpenes in aqueous alcoholic extracts ofM. ilicifolia orM. aquifolium leaves, using high temperature capillary gas chromatography in polar columns (OV-17-OH). These species are popularly known in Brazil as “espinheira santa” and have proven antiulcer properties. The method consists of the pre-concentration of the triterpenes from the aqueous alcoholic extract, followed by GC analysis, which permits the determination of the presence of friedelan-3-ol and friedelin. Direct comparison with several triterpenol standards that are usually found in falsified “espinheira santa” samples but are absent in the authentic drug, showed that GC analysis clearly allows detection of the presence of friedelan-3-ol and friedelin and, therefore, permits distinguishing between authentic and false “espinheira santa” aqueous alcoholic extracts.

No cleanup step was required Concentrated extracts were analysed by gas chromatography with flame photometric detection in phosphorus mode. Recovery studies were performed in six kinds of matrices at two fortification levels. Recoveries were in the range 80–115%. The limit of quantification of the analytical method has been estimated as 0.01 ppm for diazinon, methamidophos and malathion, 0.03 ppm for chlorpyrifos, parathion, parathion-methyl and dimethoate and 0.1 ppm for monocrotophos. Experiments showed that potentially it should be possible to develop a rapid and universally applicable method for organophosphate pesticide residues in different matrices.

    Notes: Summary A continuous-flow method that combines on-line preconcentration and isolation with gas chromatography for the direct determination of vitamins D2 and D3 in oily solutions is reported. A silica gel column permits preconcentration and isolation of analytes from the vitamin D matrix, although some triglyceride (ca. 25%) is also retained. To overcome problems associated with the low volatility of triglycerides, their retained fraction is further transesterified with potassium methylate to fatty acid methyl esters after elution. The proposed method was applied to the determination of vitamin D in pharmaceutical preparations.

It was compared with other procedures involving saponification of fat, solvent extraction of unsaponifiable matter—with and without fractionation by thin-layer chromatography—and transformation of sterols into silyl derivatives prior to GC analysis. This paper proposes an alternative to other published procedures. Repeatability of the method was assessed and the coefficient of variation determined as 2.1%. The alternative saponification method exhibited comparable accuracy (coefficient of variation=1.8%). Recovery ranged from 99.1% to 105.6%.

    Notes: Summary Silica was modified with γ-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane, and then the amino group was converted into an N-benzoylthiourea compound. Treatment with anhydrous CuCl2 solution, gave a copper(II) complex on the surface. In order to estimate the ability of the complex to interact specifically with electron donors, a number of retention parameters were determined for three groups of compounds showing electron-donor properties: ketones, ethers and nitroalkanes. On the basis of the results, the effect of adsorbate structure on the strength of specific interactions was established. The packings studied may be useful for the analysis of the mixtures of ketones, ethers, and nitroalkanes.

Pesticides were extracted from the different foodstuffs by Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion (MSPD). Recoveries of 41–108 % with relative standard deviation of 2–14 % in the concentration range 0.5–10 μg L−1 were obtained in oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pears, plums, lettuces and tomatoes. The results demonstrated that the extracts of all the samples can be analyzed by the detectors used since no interfering co-extracted compounds were detected.

The LC is modelled by a second degree equation, depending on injected volume, eluent flow and composition. These calculated models allow easy optimization of the separations, using isoresponse curves.

    Notes: Summary An on-line, solid-phase extraction gas chromatography atomic-emission detection (SPE-GC-AED) system has been set up using an on-column interface to transfer 100 μl of desorbing solvent to the GC part of the system. Analytical characteristics such as recovery, precision and linearity of calibration plots were comparable with those of the off-line combination of SPE-GC-AED using organophosphorus pesticides as test compounds. The fully on-line set-up causes a marked improvement in detection because of the quantitative transfer of the analytes from the SPE module to the GC: detection limits are as low as 5–20 ng l−1 for the analysis of 10 ml raw and spiked surface water samples using the phosphorus channel. Detection levels can be further enhanced by processing up to 100 ml samples. The integrated analytical system is robust. The potential of the on-line set up has been demonstrated for the analysis of surface water and waste water.

    Notes: Summary In order to enable the coupling of reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with capillary gas chromatography (GC), the performance of an anion-exchange micromembrane device has been studied to remove the ion-pair reagent methanesulphonic acid from an acetonitrile/water LC eluent. The regenerant in the membrane was tetrabutylammonium hydroxide dissolved in acetonitrile/water, which effects an anion-exchange of methanesulphonate ions for regenerant hydroxide ions. The efficiency of the exchange process was found to be 99.9%. This enabled the direct introduction of the LC eluent, free of ions and with the proper acetonitrile/water ratio, into the GC. The applicability of the on-line LC-micromembrane-GC system has been illustrated for the potential drug eltoprazine, which is quantitatively recovered with a coefficient of variation for standard solutions of 3% at the 150 μg/ml analyte level.

    Notes: Summary An automated sample preparation module, (the automated sample preparation with extraction columns, ASPEC), was interfaced with a capillary gas chromatograph (GC) by means of an on-column interface. The system was optimised for the determination of the antidepressant trazodone in plasma. The clean-up of untreated plasma was carried out with disposable C18 cartridges, using several washing steps. The analyte was desorbed with methanol, the extract was diluted on-line with buffer and preconcentrated on a PLRP-S trapping column. The trapping column was dried by purging with nitrogen gas. Desorption (phase switching) of the trapping column was carried out with ethyl acetate which was introduced into a retention gap using partially concurrent solvent evaporation conditions. Trazodone was determined by GC with flame ionisation detection (FID). With a 1 ml sample, this resulted in a detection limit for trazodone in plasma of 3 ng/ml. The system showed good linearity and repeatability in the range 0.01–1 μg/ml, thus covering the range of pharmacokinetic/dynamic-to-therapeutic concentrations of trazodone in plasma. Preliminary results for benzodiazepines are promising. They indicate that the use of a selective detector such as the nitrogen/phosphorus detector, is to be recommended.

    Notes: Summary A number of oxygenated compounds such as C1−C4 alcohols, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and tertamyl methyl ether (TAME) are increasingly being used in gasoline as octane boosters and to reduce vehicular emissions. Monitoring of individual oxygenates in gasoline is important for quality control and regulatory purpose. Although, several analytical methods based on gas chromatography have been reported, a need was still felt to develop a simple and cost effective method of analysis. In this paper, a packed column gas chromatographic method is described for the analysis of C1−C4 alcohols, MTBE and TAME over a wide concentration range (2–20% V/V) in gasoline. The method involves determination of alcohols and ethers separately on two different columns. The alcohols are determined on a 20 ft column packed with poly(ethylene glycol) 400 as a stationary phase while the ethers are analysed on a 20 ft OPN-Poracil C column. The analysis of alcohols on poly(ethylene glycol) 400 column also provides data on aromatic components of gasoline.

    Notes: Summary A detailed statistical analysis, comparing the validity of the best literature recommended equations for prediction of retention indices of alkylbenzenes on squalane and methylsilicone stationary phases with the unified retention index concept, is presented. A comparison with literature sources shows that the unified retention index provides the smallest residual error. Hence, it can be applied for prediction purposes.

    Notes: Summary Kinetic parameters for the ring opening of cyclohexane over modified ZSM-5 zeolites can be measured simultaneously under non-steady state conditions using reversed-flow gas chromatography. At relatively low temperatures, the main product detected and measured was propene. The mathematical relations used for the calculation of adsorption-desorption rate constants, surface reaction rate constants and adsorption equilibrium constants for the reactant cyclohexane are different from previously studied catalytic reactions, owing to the different experimental arrangement for feeding the catalytic bed. The diffusion bands obtained experimentally for reactant or product are described by the sum of two or three exponential functions of time, respectively. From the exponential coefficients of time and the pre-exponential factors, all determined by simple PC programs, the above kinetic parameters are calculated.

    Notes: Summary The dependence of specific retention by a binary stationary phase in GC can be expressed as the sum of the products of the specific retention of the pure components times their respective volume fractions. In this study, however, one component has a site, which is not only mainly responsible for the selectivity, but also participates in strong self-association. This requires introduction of a concentration-dependent factor (μx) in the corresponding term of the equation correlating Vg mix x with x. In the GC resolution of N-trifluoroacetyl-amino acid isopropyl esters on a binary phase, N-lauroyl-L-amino t-butyl amide-squalane, data for the values of μx were obtained. Adapting a previously developed LC retention model to the above GC data, an equation was derived for the dependence of μx on the weight fraction (x) of the selector, namely μx=√1/x. This relationship permits calculation of retention volumes on the binary phase for a given x, as well as corresponding resolution coefficients of enantiomeric amino acid derivatives with generally excellent agreement with experiment. The chirality of the system is not relevant to application of the equation.

    Notes: Summary A new method of analysis using headspace gas chromatography with microcapillary columns is proposed. Small diameter (50 μm I.D.) fused-silica capillary columns with non-extractable SE-54 and PS-255 polysiloxane stationary phases were used for the analysis of low boiling organic compounds. The small diameter columns possess the usual very high efficiency so that the method can be employed for the headspace analysis of complex mixtures. The use of short microcolumns reduces the analysis times in comparison to conventional capillary columns. Good performances were obtained in the analysis of volatile compounds in some lemon essential oil, perfumes, and water samples.

    Notes: Summary The separation of some aromatic bicyclic and tricyclic spiro ketones on fused silica capillary columns coated with polydimethylsiloxane, cyanopropylmethylsiloxane and poly(ethylene glycol) stationary phases was investigated. Retention indices were determined at two temperatures in order to enable understanding of the compounds' chromatographic behaviour. The respective standard deviation values were 0.8, 0.5 and 0.3 index units. The influence of the polarity of the stationary phases on the chromatographic retention of these cyclic spiro ketones is discussed.
