The invention relates to the technical field of second-hand
smoke exposure detection, and particularly discloses a method for detecting the content of
nicotine and
cotinine in second-hand
smoke exposure urine of children. The method comprises the following steps: S1, establishment of a standard working curve: preparing an
internal standard solution and a
standard solution, diluting with
ultrapure water to prepare a mixed
internal standard solution and a mixed
standard solution, and establishing a working curve by using UPLC-MS / MS; s2, collecting a child second-hand
smoke exposed
urine sample, and performing pretreatment: taking out the frozen
urine sample from a refrigerator at-80 DEG C, putting the frozen
urine sample into a refrigerator at 4 DEG C, slowly unfreezing, taking 0.15 ml of the unfrozen
urine sample, adding 30 [mu] l of a 5 [mu] g / ml mixed
internal standard application liquid, adding water to a constant volume of 1.5 ml, uniformly mixing, centrifuging for 20 minutes at a speed of 12000 rpm, passing through a 0.22 [mu] m nylon 66 porous filter membrane, filling a filtrate into a brown sample injection small
bottle, and detecting the urine concentration by UPLC-MS / MS (Ultra Performance Liquid
Chromatography-
Mass Spectrometer /
Mass Spectrometer). According to the method, the sample pretreatment operation procedure is simple, the detection time is short, the detection cost is low, and the requirement for
rapid detection of the tobacco
metabolism level in urine of school-age children with low second-hand
smoke exposure crowds is met.
