Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry, and in particular to a method for determining 91 pollutants in serum. Background Art
[0002] Environmental pollutants refer to substances that are produced or enter the environment through human activities, change the normal composition and properties of the environment, and directly or indirectly cause harm to the human body. With the improvement of agricultural production technology and the development of modern industry, environmental pollutants have been integrated into people's lives along with many new chemical synthetic substances, and are widely exposed in the air, food and daily necessities. Environmental pollutants can enter the human body through various pathways such as diet, skin, oral and respiratory mucosa, and accumulate in the human body, thereby interfering with the synthesis, secretion, transportation and binding of natural hormones in the human body. They can also imitate the effects of natural hormones in the body to destroy the balance of human hormones, thereby causing various diseases in the human reproductive system, endocrine system, heart and nervous system, etc., posing a major threat to human health.
[0003] Bisphenol compounds are organic compounds containing two phenol groups. Common bisphenol compounds include bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, etc. Bisphenol compounds are widely used in plastic products, food packaging, personal care products, etc. Flame retardant compounds are a class of compounds widely used in various materials. Their function is to reduce the flame and smoke produced when the material burns to improve the flame retardant properties of the material. Common flame retardants include brominated flame retardants, nitrogen flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants, etc. Phthalates are one of the main environmental pollutants in the world. Phthalates are often used in plastic products as plasticizers to improve the plasticity, durability, stability and other functional properties of the products. Perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a class of synthetic chemicals with fully or partially fluorinated alkyl chains and one or more polar functional groups. Due to their water and oil resistance, high temperature resistance and surface activity, perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances are widely used in non-stick kitchen utensils, food packaging, cleaning products and other products.
[0004] Environmental pollutant mass spectrometry detection technology is an analytical technology based on the principle of mass spectrometry. This technology can determine the type and content of pollutants in the sample by detecting and analyzing the mass spectrometry characteristics of the compounds in the sample. At present, different methods and instruments have been developed for pollutant mass spectrometry detection technology, mainly including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, etc. The development of pollutant mass spectrometry detection technology has made the detection and analysis of trace pollutants in the environment more accurate and sensitive. However, there are still some shortcomings in pollutant detection technology, such as high cost of detection equipment, complicated operation steps, and inability to directly analyze certain compounds. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to improve and perfect mass spectrometry analysis technology, increase analysis speed, reduce costs, and simplify operation procedures to meet the needs of pollutant detection in different scenarios. At present, the detection technology of environmental pollutants is not sensitive, the detection substances are single, and there is a lack of detection methods for comprehensive evaluation of environmental pollutant exposure.
[0005] At present, there is no unified standard for the detection of 91 pollutants in serum. Although there are patents for related detection of pollutants in China, there is no detection method for 91 pollutants in serum. Therefore, in order to fill the technical gap of the determination of 91 pollutants in serum, the present invention establishes a method for processing and detecting 91 pollutants in serum quickly, accurately and stably, which provides a basis and premise for further exploration of the relationship between pollutants and human health, and has broad medical and public health significance.

The present invention defines the content corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 as the limit of detection (LOD), and the content corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 as the limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOD range of the 38 pollutants in Example 1 is 0.001 ng / mL to 0.007 ng / mL; the LOQ range is 0.003 ng / mL to 0.025 ng / mL.

The recovery of the detected pollutants ranged from 69.3 ± 1.3% to 143.1 ± 6.7%, which can meet the requirements of sample analysis; the range of matrix effect was 64.4 ± 5.1% to 132.3 ± 2.6%, indicating that the enhancement and inhibition effects of the matrix on the mass spectrometry signal can be ignored.

The results showed that the linear correlation coefficient of the standard curves of all pollutants was R 2 All of them are greater than 0.99, which indicates that the analytical method of the present invention has good linearity. In order to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the method of the present invention, the inventors selected three concentrations of low (1 ng / mL), medium (10 ng / mL), and high (100 ng / mL) from the linear range of the standard curve for intra-day and inter-day precision experiments. The results showed that the relative error (RE) of accuracy was less than 20.3%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) within and between days was less than 9.0% and 17.6%, respectively, which indicates that the method of the present invention has good accuracy and precision.
[0087] In addition, the inventors prepared 91 pollutants in Table 1 into 100 ng / mL standard solutions, the solvent of the standard solution was acetonitrile: water (v:v) = 2: 8, 0.1 mL of each solution was mixed to form a mixed solution, and 1 μg / mL of isotope internal standard solution (MEHP-D 4 PFOA- 13 C 4 、TEP-D 15 、BPA- 13 C 12 ) After that, the mixed solution was used for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry detection. The LC-MS / MS system for detection consisted of an LC-30AD ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph and a Shimadzu 8045 mass spectrometer; the chromatographic column used for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography was a Shimadzu Shim-pack GIST C18 chromatographic column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 2.0 μm), and the mixed solution was separated under the conditions of a column temperature of 40 ℃ and a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min, and the injection volume was 5 μL; the mobile phase used for this elution was an aqueous solution containing 0.01% acetic acid and 25% methanol as mobile phase A, and an acetonitrile solution containing 0.01% acetic acid as mobile phase B, and the separation gradient was as follows: 0 - 3 min, 5% B; 3 - 20 min, 5 - 98% B; 20 - 27min, 98% B; 27 - 28 min, 98% -5% B; 28 - 35 min, 5% B. A scatter plot is drawn with the pollutant number as the horizontal axis and the retention time as the vertical axis to represent the separation effect. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
