Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls are commonly categorized as persistent organic pollutants. In order to analyze these pollutants, customized stationary phases are increasingly being developed and synthesized for solid-phase extraction. In this work, we tested a new solventless solid-phase extraction approach based on the use of a Magic Chemisorber® (Frontier Lab) which consists of a bead-covered polydimethylsiloxane stationary phase with a thickness of 500 µm. These devices are directly immersed into aqueous samples and then introduced into a pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system equipped with a cryofocusing system for the thermal desorption and analysis of the adsorbed species. Our new method performs better than the most recent solid-phase extraction devices, with limits of detection lower than 2.7 ng/L and limits of quantification lower than 9.0 ng/L. The method was tested on standard compounds and on an environmental sample, showing the potential to characterize other chemical species besides the persistent organic pollutants, such as phthalate plasticizers and antioxidants.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) residues pose a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and food safety. In this work, novel imine bond/pyridine nitrogen-rich magnetic microporous organic networks (MMONs-Br and MMONs-I) were synthesized via a facile one-pot strategy using brominated and iodinated precursors for the detection of NSAIDs in fish. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed a striking 11-fold difference in specific surface areas between the two materials (MMONs-Br: 293.

Background: Previous studies involving cleanup via conventional solid-phase extraction (SPE) materials to overcome matrix effects for the polar organophosphonate and -phosphinate pesticides glyphosate, glufosinate, ethephon, fosetyl, and their various metabolites often showed limitations due to the existence of various matrix compounds in plant commodities with similar polarity. To overcome existing drawbacks, we utilized the unique selectivity provided by metal oxides as SPE materials. These were exploited in a novel automated online SPE-LC-MS/MS method which allowed analyte-specific trapping in the presence of excessive amounts of matrix compounds as typically contained in extracts of the Quick Polar Pesticides (QuPPe) method.

Background: Determination of the estradiol hormone in urine is crucial for evaluating congenital adrenal hyperplasia, certain hormone-producing ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, liver disease, pregnancy, and infertility. On the other hand, steroid hormones can have destructive effects on the environment, animals, and the endocrine system of humans. Consequently, accurately measuring this hormone's concentration in trace amounts is essential for environmental safety and human health.

The bisphenols (BPs) contaminants with distinctive endocrine-disrupting properties have garnered significant attention. A new analytical methodology was proposed for the sensitive detection of hazardous BPs in efficient and food safety monitoring. The approach utilizes an ionic liquid-modified covalent organic framework (SCOF-V/IL-5F) as a solid-phase extraction adsorbent to enrich harmful BPs.

Synthetic cathinones (SCs) are drugs of abuse that act on the central nervous system, producing psychoactive effects similar to those of amphetamines. Their greater accessibility compared with the traditional amphetamine-type stimulants has contributed to their increasing popularity in recent years. The analysis of SCs in biological samples is essential for documenting their consumption.
