Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (GRR, also named as white ginseng), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra (GRR Rubra. also named as red ginseng), Ginseng Folium (GF) and Ginseng Rootlet (GR) products from Asian ginseng, one of the well-known Chinese traditional medicine for thousands of years, are now widely used around the world. Thus the comprehensive quality control is of paramount concern basing on the contents of the bioactive ginsenosides. A rapid, sensitive and reliable method of ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detection (UPLC-PAD) was developed for the quantitative analysis of the 12 ginsenosides in the four commercial ginseng products of Asian ginseng. The chromatography was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH C18 column using a gradient elution with acetonitrile/water as the mobile phases. Method validation including calibration curves, accuracies, precisions, repeatabilities and recoveries was investigated. The contents of the 12 ginsenosides were determined in 20 GRR, 4 GF, 4 GR and 11 GRR Rubra samples. To evaluate the sample quality. chenometric methods including hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal components analysis (PCA) were engaged in evaluating the GRR, GRR Rubra, GF and GR products from Asian ginseng. The results showed that HCA and PCA can be considered as the attractive chemometric techniques in situations where high sample throughput and multiple analytes are required.A new and fast method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 14 aniline derivatives ( ADs) in water by direct injection-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) through optimizing chromatographic and mass spectrometric conditions. The water sample was filtered through a 0.45 µm polyether sulfone (PES) microfiltration membrane. Ruboxistaurin molecular weight The separation was performed on a Shim-pack FC-ODS column (75 mm x 4.6 mm, 3 µm) with methanol-0.1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution (3565, v/v) as mobile phases in gradient elution mode. The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min, and the column temperature was 35 °C. The analytes were detected by LC-MS/MS in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Under the optimized conditions, the analysis of the 14 aniline derivatives was completed within 12 min and the calibration curves showed good linearity with correlation coefficients not less than 0.999. The detection limits of the 14 aniline derivatives ranged from 0.03 µg/L to 4. 19 µg/L. The relative standard deviations of the 14 aniline derivatives in the spiked surface water at three levels (0. 5, 5.0, 20.0 µg/L) were 0.4%-9.4% (n = 6). The proposed method has the advantages of good anti-interference ability, rapidness and high sensitivity. It was successfully applied to the analysis of real samples, and the recoveries of the 14 aniline derivatives in the spiked real samples were 68.0%-130%.A fast method based on QuEChERS methodology for the simultaneous determination of 32 sulfonylurea herbicide residues in sweet corns and green soybeans was developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The clean-up effects of three dispersive sorbents were evaluated in terms of the residue mass for extracts after evaporation and recoveries. The three sorbents were C18, a mixture of two sorbents--silica coated with zirconium dioxide (Z-Sep) and C18, a bonded C18 zirconia-coated silica (Z-Sep+). As a result, the best effects were obtained from using Z-Sep/C18 sorbents. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and salted out with anhydrous magnesium sulphate and sodium chloride. The extracts were cleaned up with dispersive solid phase extraction using Z-Sep/C18 sorbents. Chromatographic analysis was carried out using a CSH C18 column with gradient elution. The pesticides were analyzed by negative electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry under scheduled multiple reaction monitoring mode. The quantification was achieved using matrix-matched standard calibrations as the external standard. The recoveries at fortification levels of 10, 20, 100 µg/kg in sweet corns and green beans ranged from 80.0% to 108.2% with the relative standard deviations of 1.2%-13.0%. The limits of quantification (S/N ≥ 10) were 0.2-5.0 µg/kg. The method has been proven to be simple, sensitive, environmental, and thus suitable for the determination of the 32 sulfonylurea herbicide residues in sweet corns and green soy- beans.A method was developed for the determination of 19 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAs) in lamb liver by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/ MS) combined with dispersive solid phase extraction. The sample was extracted with acidified acetonitrile, and then cleaned-up by a mixture of N-propylethylenediamine (PSA), C18 and graphitized carbon black (GCB) sorbents. The 19 PFAs were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS with a C18 chromatographic column, adopting the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with negative electrospray ionization. The effects of the dosages of hydrochloric acid and the sorbents on the recoveries of the 19 PFAs were studied. For accurate quantitative analysis, the isotope internal standard method was used. The calibration curves were linear with the correlation coefficients over 0.998 in the range of 0.05-20 µg/kg for the 19 PFAs. The limits of detection were 0.004-0.111 µg/kg. The limits of quantification were 0.012-0.370 µg/kg. The mean recoveries of the 19 PFAs at spiked levels of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 µg/kg were in the range from 80% to 128% with the relative standard deviations of 0.31%-11.1%. The developed method is rapid, simple, accurate. It is suitable for the determination of the 19 PFAs in large quantities of lamb liver samples.As the increase of the remaining reserves of the heavier/sourer crude oil and the requirement of the clean energy, it is significant to sufficiently characterize the molecular composition of the petroleum for the selection of the refining processes and the realization of the economic value of the crude oil. Petroleomics, which is based on the high-resolution mass spectrometry platform, is a powerful tool to achieve this goal. In this paper, the analytical technology applied in petroleomics and its most recent development are reviewed, and the perspective of petroleomics is also discussed.The uniform core-shell nanostructured magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized using antibiotic nafcillin as a template. In this protocol, the magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the solvothermal reaction firstly. Subsequently, the vinyl groups were grated onto silica-modified Fe3O4 surface by 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane via sol-gel method. Finally, the nafcillin-MIPs film was formed on the surface of Fe3O4 @ SiO2 by the copolymerization of vinyl end group with functional monomer, methacrylic acid, cross-linking agent, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, the initiator azo-bis-isobutyronitrile and template molecule. The morphological and magnetic characteristics of the MIPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer. The obtained spherical magnetic MIPs with diameters of about 320 nm had good monodispersity. The static binding experiment was carried out to evaluate the properties of magnetic MIPs and non imprinted polymers (NIPs). The results demonstrated that the magnetic MIPs had high adsorption capacity to template and good selectivity. The imprinting factor and the maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 @ MIPs to nafcillin were 2.46 and 50.7 mg/g, respectively. It is expected that the prepared magnetic MIPs could be used for the enrichment of nafcillin in complex samples.The double template surface-imprinted polymer (Bi-MIP)) was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in aqueous media, using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (Lyz) as the template prteis, X-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylamide (AAm) as the monomers and X-3-(dimethylamino) propyl-methacrylamide (DMAPMA) as the assistant of basic functional monomner. The ATHP possessed the mild reaction conditions and can be initiated at room temperature without heating and ultraviolet radiations. The preparation conditions of imprinted polymer were optimized, and the content of DMAPMA as the assistant of basic functional monomer was investigated. The results showed that Bi-MIP exhibited the good adsorption capacity and selectivity in single protein solution and in mixed protein solution when the volume of DMAPMA in the preparation process of Bi-MIP was 20 µL. The rebinding capacity of Bi-MIP was evaluated according to adsorption isotherm of the imprinted polymer. The Langmir adsorption model was employed to describe the isotherms and revealed that Bi-MIP exhibited the maximum rebinding to 13SA and Lyz at 10.2 mg g and 19.2 mg/g, respectively. And Bi-MIP had good imprinting effect and adsorption capacity to templates BSA and Lyz from egg white and bovine serum samples. This will provide a new way for specific recognition of the double multiple target proteins in the complex biological samples.A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for selective recognition of seven bisphenols (BPs) was prepared using dummy template phenolphthalein (PP) by bulk polymerization. The characterization results of scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements showed that the prepared PP-MIP possessed narrow particle diameter distribution (40-60 µm), a specific surface area (S(BET)) of 359.77 m2/g and a total pore volume (Vt) of 0.730 cm3/g. The adsorption capacity for bisphenol A (BPA) of PP-MIP was evaluated by static adsorption experiment. And the Scatchard analysis revealed that the maximum specific adsorption capacity of PP-MIP was 4.661 µmol/g. Good class selectivity for BPA and its six structural analogues of bisphenol B (BPB) , bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol AP (BPAP) and bisphenol Z (BPZ) was demonstrated by the chromatographic evaluation experiment. The prepared PP-MIP was successfully used as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for the separation and purification of the seven BPs in human urine, bovine serum and beer samples. Meanwhile, an accurate and sensitive MIP-SPE-HPLC method was established for the determination of the seven BPs in human urine, bovine serum and beer samples. The limits of detection (LODs) for the three samples were in the range of 1.2-2.0 µg/L. The results showed that good linearities were obtained in the range of 0.02-2 mg/L for the seven BPs and the correlation coefficients (r) were higher than 0.999 8. The recoveries of the BPs spiked in blank samples at two spiked levels (100 and 500 µg/L for each BP) were in the range of 90.1%-107.1% with the RSDs ≤ 8.1%. The proposed method is simple and reliable for the rapid detection of the seven BPs in human urine, bovine serum and beer samples.A eugenol-bonded silica gel stationary phase (EGSP) for high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) has been synthesized by the solid-liquid successive reaction method. The preparation process included two steps firstly, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy-silane (KH-560) was covalently attached to the surface of spherical silica gel. Then the bonded silica gel continued to react with eugenol ligand, which was a plant active component, and obtained EGSP. The structure of EGSP was characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Using naphthalene as a probe, the column efficiency was tested under the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (3565, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The chromatographic properties and the retention mechanism of EGSP were evaluated by using neutral, basic and acidic analytes as solute probes. Meanwhile, the comparative study with C18 column and phenyl column was also carried out under the same chromatographic conditions. The result showed that the eugenol ligand was successfully bonded to the surface of silica gel with a 0.
