Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aquatic product detection, and particularly relates to a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for determining herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl in aquatic products. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, sustained population growth has brought major challenges to increasing crop production. In order to meet the growing demand for food, pesticides are overused in the process of crop cultivation. Excessive pesticides enter water, soil and air, causing serious damage to biological and human health. Imazapyr (25% imazapyr aqueous solution) and haloxyfop-P-methyl (10.8% high-efficiency fluazifop-methyl emulsifiable concentrate) are two herbicides that have the characteristics of fast weed control, strong systemic effect and high safety to crops. Therefore, they are widely used in weed control of crops such as corn and sunflowers and in the control of Spartina alterniflora. The effective herbicidal ingredient of Imazapyr is imazapyr, which is a broad-spectrum herbicide and a commonly used herbicide. Its half-life in the soil is longer than that of haloxyfop-P-methyl. The effective weed-killing ingredient of haloxyfop-P-methyl is high-efficiency fluazifop-methyl, which is a non-broad-spectrum herbicide. It has a good treatment effect on grass weeds. Its efficacy is stable and is less affected by adverse environmental conditions such as low temperature and rain. Imidazolin and halofop-butyl are generally not susceptible to photochemical degradation or thermal decomposition and are relatively stable in the environment. The long-term and irrational use of such herbicides has caused them to pollute the water environment at an alarming rate, and they are often detected as pollutants in the environment. In recent years, Spartina alterniflora has received great attention due to its large-scale invasion around the world. Spartina alterniflora mainly invades coastal tidal wetlands and estuary areas. During the process of spraying Kangmijing and Gaoxuegaineng to control Spartina alterniflora, some unabsorbed drugs enter the adjacent sea areas, which may have adverse effects on nearshore marine aquaculture and marine ecological environment. Studies have found that imidazolin and halofop-butyl have certain bioaccumulation, and excessive use of pesticides poses a threat to aquatic animals and human health. Therefore, many countries have set limits on pesticide residues in food. In my country's "GB 2763-2021 National Food Safety Standard Maximum Residue Limits of Pesticides in Foods", it is clearly stipulated that the limit of imazapyr in different foods is 0.01-5 mg / kg, and the maximum limit of high-efficiency fluazifop-p-ethyl is 0.02-3 mg / kg.
[0003] At present, the methods for detecting the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl include GC, FIA / SEC, SERS, LC, LC-MS, etc., but the detection range is limited to cereals, vegetables, water bodies and soil, etc., and the detection method for the residues of imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl in aquatic products (fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, etc.) has not been reported. All of the above have brought great inconvenience to the evaluation of the toxic effects of the herbicides Kangmijing and Gaicaoneng in aquatic organisms and their risk monitoring and assessment. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a detection method with simple pre-treatment, strong selectivity and high sensitivity. Summary of the invention

[0060]
[0061] The provided liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl is suitable for the determination of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl in various aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish.
[0062] Table 2 Qualifying ions, quantitative ions and collision energies of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl
[0063]
[0064] The detection limit (LOD) and quantification limit (LOQ) of this method are: when the solid sample weight is 2 g and the fixed volume of the extract is 1.00 mL, the detection limit and quantification limit of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl are 0.25 μg / kg and 0.5 μg / kg, respectively.
[0065] The principle of the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry determination method for determining the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl provided by the present invention is that the sample is ultrasonically extracted with acidified acetonitrile, centrifuged, the supernatant is taken, purified by the QuEChERS method, rotary evaporated to dryness at 48°C, redissolved in an acetonitrile aqueous solution, and determined by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer in a multiple reaction monitoring mode (positive ion mode).
[0066] The method for drawing the standard curve of the method provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0067] The mixed standard series solution of the test substance was injected into the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer, and the peak area of the characteristic ions of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl was used as the ordinate, and the concentration of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl was used as the abscissa to prepare a standard curve, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.
[0068] The qualitative determination method provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0069] Under the same conditions, the retention time and relative abundance of characteristic ions of the sample solution and the standard solution with similar concentration are compared for qualitative analysis. If the relative deviation of the retention time of the analyte in the sample and the standard solution is no more than ±2.5%, and the relative abundance tolerance of the detected characteristic ions meets the requirements of Table 3, it can be determined that the corresponding analyte exists in the sample.
[0070] Table 3 Permissible deviation of relative ion abundance in qualitative confirmation
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] The quantitative determination method provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0074] Take the sample solution and the mixed standard series solution for determination, draw the standard working curve with the peak area in the standard solution as the ordinate and the concentration of the mixed standard series solution as the abscissa, and use the standard working curve to quantify the sample. The response values of the analyte in the sample solution and the standard series solution should be within the linear range of the instrument. When the concentration of the sample exceeds the linear range, it needs to be diluted according to the measured concentration and re-measured.
[0075] like Figure 1 The following are the characteristic ion chromatograms of the standard solutions of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-butyl, both of which have a concentration of 5 ng / mL. Figure 1 It can be seen that the peak shapes of the characteristic ion peaks of the herbicides imazapic acid and fluazifop-butyl are symmetrical, without problems such as tailing and impurity interference, indicating that the target compounds can be qualitatively and quantitatively identified under the mass spectrometry and chromatographic conditions.
[0076] The blank experiment of the present invention is to use the same determination steps to operate except that no sample is added.
[0077] The instruments and consumables used in the present invention are as follows:
[0078] Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer: equipped with electrospray ion source (ESI);
[0079] Analytical balance: sensitivity 0.00001g and 0.01g;
[0080] Homogenizer;
[0081] Vortex mixer;
[0082] Ultrasonic extractor;
[0083] Centrifuge: speed ≥4000r / min;
[0084] Polytetrafluoroethylene hydrophobic filter membrane (Jinlong): 0.22μm.
[0085] The content of the herbicides imazapyr and haloxyfop-ethyl in the sample of the present invention is expressed as a mass fraction X in micrograms per kilogram (μg / kg), calculated according to formula (1), and the blank value needs to be deducted from the calculation result.
[0086]
[0087] Where:
[0088] C—mass concentration of the substance to be tested in the sample solution obtained from the standard curve, in micrograms per liter (μg / L);
[0089] V—volume of the solution, in milliliters (mL);
[0090] n—the dilution multiple of the sample solution after exceeding the linear range;
[0091] m—sample mass, in grams (g).
[0092] Note: It is expressed as the arithmetic mean of two independent determination results obtained under repeatability conditions. The blank value must be deducted from the calculated result and the result must be rounded to three significant figures.
[0093] Before analyzing the actual sample, the laboratory must achieve the required precision and accuracy level. Verify the reliability of the analytical method by analyzing the spiked sample. Take no less than 3 blank samples and add the standard series solution respectively. Analyze the prepared spiked sample according to the above method. The recovery rate of each target compound should be in the range of 70-120%, and the precision (RSD) should not exceed 15%. If a standard reference material with a similar matrix to the sample is available, the standard reference material can be used instead of the spiked sample for precision and accuracy testing.
[0094] After adding acidified acetonitrile during extraction, the extraction needs to be fully shaken to ensure that the tissue is completely and evenly dispersed in the extraction reagent.
[0095] From the structures of the herbicides imazapyr and halpyrazole, we can see that both pesticides are highly polar compounds. Therefore, the experiment compared the extraction effects of acetonitrile, methanol, ethyl acetate, and acetone as extraction solvents. At the same time, n-hexane, PSA adsorbent, C 18 Adsorbents and ODS-C 18 The results showed that the use of 1% formic acid acetonitrile as an extractant and the addition of C 18 The adsorbent was used for purification, which had simple steps, small amount of reagents, high sensitivity, low cost, high accuracy and good stability. The effects of different extractants and purifiers on the recovery of the two herbicides in Chinese sea bass are shown in Table 4.
[0096] Table 4 Effects of different extractants and purifiers on the recovery of two herbicides in Chinese sea bass (1 μg / kg, n=3).
[0097]
[0098] During the extraction process, if the sample is not dispersed well, you can use a homogenizer or a glass rod to crush and disperse it so that it can fully contact with the extraction reagent.
[0099] During the rotary evaporation concentration process, the temperature should not be too high (50°C). The temperature must be low when starting to heat, and the temperature should be raised slowly to avoid violent boiling of the solution, otherwise the recovery rate will be affected.
[0100] When dissolving the residue with 80% acetonitrile aqueous solution, it is necessary to vortex thoroughly before passing through the membrane machine.
[0101] A method blank test is required for each batch of samples.
[0102] It is recommended that a quality control sample be included with each batch of samples. The quality control sample can be a standard reference or a spiked sample with a known concentration. The measured value of the target compound should be within 70-120% of the standard value based on the spiked concentration.
[0103] Use calibration solution to promptly calibrate the mass spectrometer to ensure that the mass number of the monitored ions does not change.
[0104] In order to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results, it is required that 10% of the parallel samples be measured when analyzing each batch of samples, and the relative deviation of the parallel sample results should not exceed 15%.
[0105] During the measurement process, it is recommended to intersperse the measurement of the same standard solution with the sample measurement to check the stability of the instrument.
