摘要:A gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric(GC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of 43 persistent organochlorine pollutants(POCPs),including 18 polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) and 25 organochlorine pesticides(OCPs) in human serum,based on solvent extraction coupled with solid-phase extraction cartridge cleanup.Human serum samples were thawed and brought to room temperature before pretreatment.An aliquot of 250 µL serum sample was transferred into a 12 mL glass tube.Protein was precipitated using methanol and lipid was removed by acidification to release target analytes.A liquid-liquid extraction was performed using hexane and methyl tert-butyl ether in turn.The extract from both solvent was combined and concentrated.The sample was further purified using silica gel solid-phase extraction cartridges,then concentrated to near-dryness under gentle stream of nitrogen and reconstituted with toluene.Subsequently,the chromatographic separation was performed on a TG-5SilMS(30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) column.The target analytes were monitored under multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) mode,and quantified by internal standard method.The results showed that there were good linear relations for the 18 PCBs and 25 OCPs in the ranges of 0.008-1 µg/L and 0.08-10 µg/L,with the detection limits and the quantitation limits of 0.005-0.1 µg/L and 0.02-0.3 µg/L,respectively.The matrix effect was in the range of 74.9%-126%.The spiked recoveries ranged from 71.6% to 129%,with intra-day relative standard deviations(RSDs) and inter-day RSDs of 1.0%-11% and 1.3%-18%,respectively.To evaluate method accuracy,standard reference material purchased from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology was used.The relative deviations of tested results were lower than 30% compared to certified values.The developed method was applied to the determination of 173 serum samples collected from general population.A total of 28 POCPs were detected,of which p,p′-DDE and PCB 153 both had a detection frequency over 50%,and the median concentration of p,p′-DDE was found to be 0.46 µg/L,making it the primary POCPs in the serum samples of this particular population.This analytical method is suitable for the detection on 43 POCPs in human serum samples as it could effectively control the matrix effect and improve the analytical sensitivity.

摘要:In view of the need for rapid and non-destructive detection of common bunt,a visible-near infrared spectroscopy combined with deep learning algorithms was proposed to construct a classification model for identifying common bunt of wheat kernels in this paper.The spectral data were preprocessed by multiple scattering correction(MSC) and standard normal variate(SNV) algorithms to eliminate noise.Meanwhile,feature wavelength extraction was performed on the preprocessed spectra using the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling(CARS) and random frog(RF) algorithms.The results indicated that the feature extraction algorithms effectively removed redundant information,resulting in a reduction of 93.7% to 94.2% in the number of spectral bands. This significantly reduced the model’s computational cost and prevented overfitting.The achieved results demonstrated the effectiveness of the MSC + CARS + VGG16 model with an accuracy of 96.39% for the training set and 91.67% for the test set,providing satisfactory classification outcomes.The final VGG16 deep learning model successfully categorized wheat kernels into three classes:healthy,light suscept,and heavy suscept.Compared to traditional machine learning models,the VGG16 model demonstrates a superior capability in extracting spectral features,and could more accurately distinguish healthy wheats and light suscept wheats.Results showed that visible-near infrared spectroscopy combined with deep learning could realize the effective classification on the wheat kernels with different degrees of common bunt,providing a novel approach for the rapid and non-destructive detection on common bunt wheat kernels.

摘要:Vehicle’s paint chips are one of the common physical evidences at the scene of criminal cases and traffic accidents. Identification and recognition of such physical evidences have been an important part of the research of public security technicians as they might contain some important information about the vehicles involved.Traditional instrumental analysis methods are cumbersome and cannot meet the demand for rapid nondestructive testing of physical evidence at the scene.Based on the advantages of nondestructive imaging and simple operation of spectral detection,a hyperspectral imaging technology combined with deep residual shrinkage network was explored to identify on-site car paint evidence,in order to improve detection efficiency and optimize detection means.The hyperspectral images of 54 car paint samples from 18 different car models were collected,and the images were fused with 10 × 10 pixels to form a reflection spectrum of 19 740 pixels.Combined with the characteristics of hyperspectral data,a targeted one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network(1D-DRSN) recognition model was established in this paper.The results showed that 1D-DRSN model has 99.5% and 98.6% accuracy for the training and test sets,with the loss function values decreasing to 0.093 and 0.106,respectively.1D-DRSN was significantly better than 1D convolutional neural network(1D-CNN) model and three traditional machine learning methods,including support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF) and logistic regression(LR).The white car paint samples from different brands or models are distinguished by deep mining of hyperspectral data.This study was applied to solving the practical challenges,and it will be a powerful complement to the existing techniques and methods in the detection and classification of vehicle’s paint fragments from the scene.

摘要:A novel type of nano-carbon composite,magnetic reduced graphene oxide/metal-organic frameworks(MrGO/ZIF-67) was synthesized by combining Fe3O4 nanoparticles with metal-organic framework(ZIF-67) and reduced graphene oxide(rGO),which was employed for the efficient adsorption of methamphetamine(MAMP).Based on this,a novel ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) with magnetic solid phase extraction(MSPE) was established for the rapid determination of MAMP in hair.Scanning electronic microscopy(SEM),transmission electronic microscopy(TEM),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) were adopted for the comprehensive characterization of MrGO/ZIF-67.The results showed that Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were successfully attached to the surface of carbon composite.MrGO/ZIF-67 possessed a three-dimensional porous structure,multifunctional groups,and sufficient magnetic force for rapid separation by external magnets.A variety of experimental parameters affecting the sample pretreatment effects were evaluated and optimized.The effect of the solution pH value(2.0 to 12.0) was firstly screened by the one-variable-at-a-time(OVAT) analysis,and single factor experiment showed that the solution pH of 11.0 was the most favorable for the adsorption of MAMP.The influences of magnetic nanomaterials amount(1-5 mg),extraction time(10-90 min) and initial concentration of MAMP(100-500 μg/L) on the adsorption performance of MAMP were further investigated via a three level Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology(RSM).According to the model recommendations,the optimal extraction conditions were as follows:MrGO/ZIF dosage:4 mg,extraction time:20 min,initial concentration of MAMP:110 μg/L.The results showed that there was a good linear relationship for MAMP in the range of 1-200 μg/L,with a correlation coefficient(r2) of 0.999 9,a limit of detection(LOD) of 0.188 μg/L,and a limit of quantitation(LOQ) of 0.572 μg/L.It was found that MrGO/ZIF-67 material had good adsorption capacity,fast adsorption kinetics and easy separation.The spiked recoveries for the actual hair samples at three levels of 1.0,5.0 and 9.6 μg/L ranged from 80.2% to 94.4%,with intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations(RSDs,n = 3) of 1.6%-2.7% and 6.0%-8.2%,respectively,indicating that the method had good linearity,high sensitivity,good accuracy and precision.The synthesized magnetic nano-carbon composite MrGO/ZIF-67 and the developed UPLC-MS/MS method could be used to adsorb and detect the content of MAMP in actual hair samples.
摘要:Microplastics insoluble particles of chemical injections of different manufacturers,batches and varieties were detected and analyzed by microscopic infrared spectrometer and confocal laser Raman spectrometer.The results showed that the average concentrations of plastic particles with particle size of lower than 30 μm,30-100 μm and larger than 100 μm were 18.6,8.65 and 0.85 pieces/L,respectively.Meanwhile,the materials of plastic particles include polypropylene(PP),polyethylene(PE),polystyrene(PS) and polyester(PET),and the average concentrations of the above four plastic particles in the injections were 21.05,5.85,0.3 and 0.4 pieces/L,respectively.This is the first time to propose the detection and analysis of plastic particles in insoluble particles of chemical injections in this paper.Although the content of plastic particles is far below the standard value stipulated in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,it suggests the potential risk of chemical injections.
摘要:Strict control and accurate measurement of impurity content in high-temperature alloys are particularly important as the trace impurity elements in high-temperature alloys may have a certain impact on the performance of high-temperature alloys.A triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry(ICP-MS/MS) was applied to the direct determination of 15 impurity elements in Fe-Ni based superalloys.The sample was firstly digested with a mixture of nitric acid,hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid,then directly determined on the machine after constant volume,without the need for extraction and separation,greatly improving the efficiency of pre-treatment analysis.In the helium collision mode,the testing and analysis of impurity elements with less interference in high-purity iron-nickel based high-temperature alloys were achieved.As 95Mo16O+ in the superalloy samples with high molybdenum content will cause strong mass spectrum interference to the determination of 111Cd,the single quadrupole mass spectrometer test is limited.Based on this,the superior reaction cell technology of ICP-MS/MS was used in this paper to set the mass-to-charge ratio(m/z) of the primary mass filter(Q1) to 111,and add O2 to the collision reaction pool,so that 95Mo16O+ reacted with O2 to generate 95Mo16O16O+,and then setting the m/z of the secondary mass filter(Q2) to 111,so that 111Cd was passed and detected,thus avoiding the overlapping interference of mass spectra,and stable testing of Cd content was achieved.This study was validated using the iron nickel based high-temperature alloy standard material(GBW01620) as a sample.The results showed that the linear correlation coefficients for each element were greater than 0.999,the detection limits of the method were 0.001-1.24 mg/kg,and the relative standard deviations were not larger than 3.5%.The test values for the 15 elements were all within the uncertainty range of the determined values.This method provides an idea or reference for accurate testing and analysis of high-purity alloy samples.
