Sample Preparation HyperSep Hypercarb SPE Columns Porous Graphitic Carbon (PGC) is a unique stationary phase composed of flat sheets of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms with a satisfied valence, as in a very large polynuclear aromatic molecule. PGC is unlike traditional silica bonded phases in both its structure and retentive properties, allowing for total ph stability and the retention and separation of highly polar species. HyperSep Hypercarb TM is ideal for problem analytes in SPE applications. Thermo Scientific HyperSep Reversed Phase / Polar Retention Effect on Graphite Method (Hypercarb): 1. Analyte Properties Polar, uncharged species can also retain some ionic/charged species 2. Sample Preparation/Application (Polar, aqueous) Add internal standard to the sample if quantification is desired. Optimize sample application by removing particulates if necessary (centrifugation or filtration) and/or diluting viscous matrices with water or buffer to ensure proper ph for desired interactions. This will require some experimentation. 3. Column Conditioning 2-5 column volumes of a strong eluting solvent followed by 2-5 column volumes of water. 4. Column Wash Use water or a weak eluting solvent which will wash most interferences from the sorbent without loss of analytes. Wash ph may greatly affect cleanup and/or recovery. 5. Elution Use a strong eluting solvent to elute the analytes of interest. Addition of 0.1% TFA to the solvent will increase its elution strength or polar analytes. Suggested Elution Solvents MeOH THF* Ethyl Acetate* Dichloromethane* Chloroform* Increasing Elution Strength *Elution strength will depend on the nature of the analytes. Application Example for HyperSep Hypercarb Cyanuric Acid in Drinking Water Cyanuric Acid is an FDA-accepted component of feed-grade biuret, a ruminant feed additive. It is also found in swimming pool water a chlorine stabilizer. Consumer exposure may be through swallowing swimming pool water, through drinking water processed from surface water and through fish which may accumulate this chemical. Cyanuric Acid in Drinking Water Compounds: Cyanuric Acid Part Number: 60106-402 Phase: HyperSep Hypercarb Volume: 6mL Bed Weight: 500mg Sample Adjust water sample to ph 3 Pretreatment: Conditioning: Wash column with 10mL methanol Condition column with 10mL LC-grade water Application: Force/aspirate 250-500mL of water sample into column at rate of 5mL/min. Washing: Dry column under vacuum Elution: 20mL methanol evaporate to dryness at 50 C under nitrogen Source: Marie Claire Hennion, ESPCI, Paris Loading Capacity and the Effects of Drying Out of Hypercarb The loading capacity and the effects of drying out of material on recovery were investigated for HyperSep Hypercarb using a 200mg 3mL column (part number 60106-301). Here, melamine was used to demonstrate Hypercarb s ability to recover polar compounds. The Effect of Post-Loading or Washing Drying Time The HyperSep Hypercarb SPE cartridges were dried after loading the analytes by drawing air through the packed bed. HyperSep Hypercarb gave a 95% recovery of melamine, irrespective of the drying time. (Figure 1) Loading Capacity The loading capacity of HyperSep Hypercarb was established using an aqueous solution of melamine with a concentration equal to that of 1% of the sorbent bed weight in 1mL. (Figure 2) HyperSep Hypercarb was found to have a loading capacity of approximately 4% of the column bed weight. (Figure 1) (Figure 2) www.thermoscientific.com/chromatography 93

HyperSep Retain PEP Generic Procedure for HyperSep Retain PEP: 1. Conditioning: Methanol followed by de-ionised water 2. Sample Loading: Load sample at a rate of 1-2mL/min. 3. Washing: Methanol / de-ionised water (5/95, v/v) 4. Elution: Organic solvent such as methanol or acetonitrile Application Example for HyperSep Retain PEP Thiourea Herbicides in Soil 1. SAMPLE PRE-TREATMENT: Thiourea herbicides extracted from soil (1ppm) in phosphorate buffer solution (ph 2.5) 2. CONDITIONING: 5mL methanol followed by 5mL phosphorate buffer (ph 2.5) 3. SAMPLE LOADING: Load 10mL sample at 1-2mL /min. 4. WASHING: 3mL phosphorate buffer (ph 2.5) 5. ELUTION: 5mL acetonitrile / phosphorate buffer (ph 7.8) (9:1, v/v) Results: Compound Name Nicosulfuron 0.91 Thifensulfuron-methyl 0.89 Metsulfuron-methyl 0.89 Sulfometuron-methyl 0.86 Chlorsulfuron 0.99 Ethametsulfuron-methyl 0.81 Tribenuron 0.15 Bensulfuron-methyl 0.82 Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 0.93 Chlorimuron-ethyl 1.07 HyperSep Retain PEP Recovery Benefits of using HyperSep Retain PEP A comparison was made between HyperSep Retain PEP & HyperSep C18 SPE Cartridges to demonstrate the benefits of using a polymeric-based material for SPE applications. There are benefits to using HyperSep Retain polymeric SPE materials for SPE applications. Here, a HyperSep Retain PEP 60mg 3mL column (part number 60107-203) was compared with a HyperSep C18 200mg 3mL column (part number 60108-303). The Effect of Post-Loading or Washing Drying Time The SPE cartridges were dried after loading the analytes by drawing air through the packed bed: The effect of drying time, measured using recovery levels of salicyclic acid and acetaminophen After drying the HyperSep C18 bed for 1 minute, the recovery levels of both salicyclic acid and acetaminophen were significantly reduced. Acetaminophen showed a 20% decrease in recovery, with subsequent drying producing additional losses, eventually demonstrating recoveries of less than 30% after 10 minutes. The experiment was repeated using the HyperSep Retain PEP sorbent and the acetaminophen recovery was sustained at > 95% irrespective of drying time. Loading capacities of HyperSep Retain PEP (60mg) and HyperSep C18 (200mg) as measured using breakthrough of acetaminophen. Loading Capacity The loading capacities of the HyperSep Retain PEP and HyperSep C18 were compared using acetaminophen as the compound of interest. On the HyperSep C18 sorbent, compound breakthrough occurred when the sample load was less than 5% of the packed bed weight. However, HyperSep Retain PEP demonstrated a sample loading capacity up to 15% of the packed bed weight. This effect may be attributed to the higher surface area of the polymeric media. Consequently, the higher capacity of the polymeric material results in a reduced risk of compound breakthrough. A further advantage of the HyperSep Retain PEP over HyperSep C18 is that equal or better recovery can be obtained using a smaller bed weight, leading to smaller volumes of solvent, which has environmental and economic advantages. 94

QuEChERS Dispersive SPE Product Selection The QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) technique is increasingly becoming the technique of choice for extraction and clean-up of pesticide residues. It was developed by the USDA Eastern Regional Research Centre. Please refer to the information below for selection of the most appropriate QuEChERS product for multi-residue pesticide analysis: There are four variations of the QuEChERS method currently being used: The original QuEChERS method. This was introduced in 2003, using sodium chloride to enhance extraction Dispersive AOAC 2007.01. This uses sodium acetate as a buffer, replacing sodium chloride The dual phase variation this method introduces the use of PSA and GCB to remove high levels of chlorophyll and plant sterols in the final extract without the loss of planar pesticides (polar aromatics) using an acetone:toluene solvent mix (3:1) The European version is similar to the AOAC method, except the extraction uses sodium chloride, sodium citrate dihydrate and disodium citrate sesquihydrate instead of sodium acetate Sorbents used in QuEChERS Methods: Material Purpose Typical Matrices MgSO4 Removal of excess water Fruits, vegetables PSA (Primary/Secondary Amine) Removal of organic acids, Fruits fatty acids, sugars C18 Removal of lipids & sterols Milk, meat, fish GCB (Graphatized Carbon Black) Removal of pigments & sterols Wine, green vegetables, carrots Product Selection: Matrix Type Examples Sorbent Requirements General Matrices Apples MgSO4, PSA Cucumber Melon Fatty Matrices Milk MgSO4, PSA, C18 Cereals Fish Pigmented Matrices Lettuce MgSO4, PSA, C18, GCB Carrot Wine High Pigmented Matrices Spinach MgSO4, PSA, C18, GCB Red Peppers Method Part Number Description Original 60105-211 50mL Tube with 4g MgSO4, 1g Sodium Chloride 250pk AOAC 2007.1 60105-210 50mL Tube with 6g MgSO4, 1.5g Sodium Acetate 250pk 60105-203 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 50mg PSA 100pk 60105-204 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 50mg PSA, 50mg C18 100pk 60105-205 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 300mg PSA, 150mg GCB 50pk 60105-206 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 300mg PSA, 150mg C18 50pk 60105-223 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 50mg PSA, 50mg C18, 50mg GCB 100pk 60105-224 15mL Tube with 1200mg MgSO4, 400mg PSA 50pk 60105-225 15mL Tube with 1200mg MgSO4, 400mg PSA, 400mg C18 50pk 60105-226 15mL Tube with 1200mg MgSO4, 400mg PSA, 400mg C18, 400mg GCB 50pk European 60105-212 50mL Tube with 6g MgSO4, 1.5g NaCl, 1.5g Sodium EN15662 Citrate Tribasic Dihydrate, 0.75g Sodium Citrate Dibasic Sesquihydrate 60105-216 50mL Tube with 4g MgSO4, 1g NaCl, 1g Sodium Citrate Tribasic Dihydrate, 0.5g Sodium Citrate Dibasic Sesquihydrate 60105-215 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 150mg PSA, 50pk 60105-217 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 150mg PSA, 45mg GCB 50pk 60105-218 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 150mg PSA, 15mg GCB 50pk 60105-219 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 25mg PSA 100pk 60105-221 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 25mg PSA, 2.5mg GCB 100pk 60105-222 2mL Tube with 150mg MgSO4, 25mg PSA, 7.5mg GCB 100pk 60105-227 15mL Tube with 900mg MgSO4, 150mg PSA, 150mg C18 50pk Dual Phase 60105-207 6mL Column with 200mg GCB on Top, 400mg PSA Method on Bottom, separated by a Frit 30pk 60105-208 6mL Column with 250mg GCB on Top, 500mg PSA on Bottom, separated by a Frit 30pk 60105-209 6mL Column with 500mg GCB on Top, 500mg PSA on Bottom, separated by a Frit 30pk Other variations of QuEChERS are available please see page 115 for full ordering information 114

Sample Preparation QuEChERS Products Convenient and effective approach for determining pesticide residues in fruit, vegetables and other foods The QuEChERS method is a two-step process: extraction followed by cleanup. The extraction step products use MgSO 4 to aid extraction, along with either NaCl sodium citrate, or anhydrous sodium acetate for base-sensitive compounds (e.g., folpet or captan). The extraction step products are supplied in a 50mL polypropylene centrifuge tube for convenient extractions. The clean-up step products contain PSA (primary/secondary amine) for the removal of organic acids and polar pigments among other compounds. Some products couple the PSA with endcapped C18 for the removalof most lipids and sterols, or graphitized carbon black for the removal of sterols and pigments such as chlorophyll.

HyperSep MEPS Products Sample Preparation Online SPE for GC and LC sample preparation extraction to injection in a single process Save Hours in Sample Preparation } Reduce the time to prepare and inject samples from hours to minutes } Eliminate all extra steps between sample preparation and sample injection } Reduce buffer and solvent volume from Milliliters to Microliters } Reduce the sample volume needed to as little as 3.6µL What is MEPS? MEPS is Micro Extraction by Packed Sorbent and is a new development in the fields of sample preparation and sample handling. MEPS is the miniaturization of conventional SPE packed bed devices from milliliter bed volumes to microliter volumes. The MEPS approach to sample preparation is suitable for reversed phases, normal phases, mixed mode or ion exchange chemistries. MEPS is available in a variety of common SPE phases. The MEPS Barrel Insert and Needle Assembly contains the stationary phase, and is built into the syringe needle. Why use MEPS? Historically, many sample preparation methods used liquidliquid extraction (LLE) which required large volumes of sample, solvents and time. The advantages of SPE over LLE are that SPE takes much less time, can be developed into a fully automated technique, requires much less solvent and offers selectivity. MEPS performs the same functions as SPE the removal of interfering matrix components and the selective isolation and concentration of analytes. MEPS increases the advantages of conventional SPE in the following ways: } Significantly reduces the time needed to prepare and inject samples } Can be combined with LC or GC automation the extraction step and injection step are performed on-line using the same syringe. } Significantly reduces the volume of solvents needed } Ability to work with samples as small as 3.6µL versus several hundred ml for SPE Sample Size and Sensitivity Sample volumes may be as little as 10µL, or by taking multiple aliquots of 100µL or 250µL, samples of 1mL or larger may be concentrated. Automation The capability to extract samples and make injections on-line using a single device reduces both sample processing times and the need for operator intervention. Sorbent Life Typical BIN life for extraction of whole plasma sample is conservatively about 40 to 100 samples. This significantly increases for cleaner samples. Carryover The small quantity of phase in the MEPS products can be easily and effectively washed between samples to reduce the possibility of carryover. This washing process is simply not practical with off-line SPE devices. With automation of MEPS, washing can occur while the previous sample is running. Flexible and easy to use The dimensions of the sorbent bed ensure that the performance remains identical to conventional SPE devices when used for extraction of similar samples. MEPS products can be used for sample volumes as small as 3.6µL making them particularly well suited to on-line use with LC-MS analysis of volume limited samples. www.thermoscientific.com/chromatography 123

Other Considerations for SPE Method Development Determine appropriate column volume The column volume referred to in the ordering information is the maximum volume of sample or solvent that can be applied to the SPE tube or well per aliquot. The most appropriate column volume for a SPE Troubleshooting specific method will allow for easy application of the sample and will closely match the necessary volume of wash solvent for the method. Determine the appropriate bed weight The bed weight defines the maximum amount of analyte a sorbent can retain. Bed weights should be chosen based on the sample size, taking into consideration the approximate amount of contaminants present and the separation mode. For normal and reversed phase modes, typical bed capacity is 1-5% of the bed weight, up to 100mg/g packing for strongly retained compounds. For example, a 500mg bed weight can retain up to 25mg of solute mass. For less retained compounds, if the bed weight is too small relative to the sample matrix volume, breakthrough (early elution) can occur. For ion exchange sorbents, the number of charged sites available for interaction with the analyte determines the capacity. This ionic capacity of an ion exchange sorbent is given in meq/g. The mean ionic capacity values range from 0.072 to 0.320mEq/g. Problem Causes Recommended Solutions Poor Recovery of Analytes Improper conditioning. Condition column according to phase: Reversed phase: use methanol, acetonitrile or isopropanol followed by solvent used for sample solution. Ion exchange: use methanol or isopropanol followed by a buffer at a ph which charges both sorbent and analyte. Analytes have a greater affinity for the sample solution Choose a column having a greater selectivity for analytes. than for the column. Change ph of sample to increase affinity of analytes to sorbent. Change polarity of sample solvent to produce lower affinity for the analytes. Improper washing. Wash column using appropriate wash solution. Poor elution. Increase eluent volume, increase eluent strength. Decrease elution strength of washing solvent. Analytes Not Eluted from Column Analytes have stronger interaction with column Choose a column that is less retentive for the analytes. sorbent than with eluting solvent. Elution volume is too low. Increase the elution volume. Elution solvent is too weak to disrupt analyte interaction with the column. Change ph of eluting solvent to ensure greater affinity for the analytes. Change polarity of eluting solvent to ensure greater affinity for the analytes. Inconsistent Extraction Column dries before sample added. Re-condition column. Capacity of column is exceeded. Decrease sample volume. Use a column with a larger amount of sorbent. Sample loading flow rate is too high. Decrease flow rate. Elution flow rate is too fast. Allow elution solvent to seep into column before aspirating or forcing through column. Apply in two separate aliquots versus a single aliquot. Using too strong a wash solution to remove interferences. Reduce strength of wash solvent. Elution volume is too small. Increase volume of elution solvent. Interferences Eluted with Analytes Interferences are extracted at the same time as analytes. Selectively wash interferences from column prior to elution. Use a column which retains the analytes more than the interferences. Interference is due to leachables from column. Wash column with eluting solvent prior to conditioning. Slow Column Flowrate Excessive particulate matter in sample. Filter or centrifuge sample. Sample solution is too viscous. Dilute sample with a weak solvent. Inadequate vacuum. Increase vacuum. Large Volume of Sample Required Sample volumes larger than extraction column capacity. Use larger extraction column volumes. Low Throughput Improper methodology. Consider a different extraction mechanism sorbent or format. 138

Sample Preparation SPE Technical Section The Role of ph in SPE: Reversed Phase Applications: If trapping of the analyte in the tube is desired, the ph of the conditioning solvent should be adjusted If the compound of interest is acidic or basic use ph at which compound is not charged The retention of neutral compounds is not usually affected by ph Normal Phase Applications: ph is not normally an issue in normal phase applications Solvents used are typically non-polar organic solvents, rather than water There is no need to verify sample application ph Ion Exchange Applications: ph and pka are important considerations here Acidic compounds are extracted by an anion-exchange columne from a sample solution 1-2 ph units above the pka of the analyte Basic compounds are extracted by a cation-exchange column from a sample solution 1-2 ph units below the pka of the analyte Key Terms used in SPE: Term Analyte Bed Volume Breakthrough Capacity Eluent Interference Matrix Sorbent Surface Area Definition Compound to be isolated & measured in the SPE system The sum of the interstitial volume plus the pore volume of the sorbent within the SPE column Lack of analyte retention which occurs when the total mass of the solutes (analytes & interferences) exceeds the capacity of the sorbent Total quantity of compounds (analytes & interferences) which can be retained from a specific sample matrix solution by a given mass of sorbent Solvent used for elution in SPE to remove the analytes from the solid phase Substance in the sample of separation system which may influence the retention of the analyte on the sorbent or may co-elute with the analyte and influence analytical determination All components of the sample including the solvent, but excluding the analytes Bonded phase silica or adsorbent used as the stationary phase in SPE Sum of the external surface area of a sorbent particle plus the accessible surface area within the pores (m 2 /g) Adjust ph accordingly using appropriate buffers Recommended Solvents: Non-polar solvents such as THF are strong solvents in reversed phase interactions Polar solvents such as methanol and water are strong solvents in normal phase interactions The choice of solvent is dependent upon application and analyte properties Solvent Hexane Isooctane Petroleum ether Cyclohexane Carbon tetrachloride Chloroform Methylene chloride Tetrahydrofuran Diethyl ether Ethyl acetate Acetone Acetonitrile Isopropanol Methanol Water Acetic acid Polarity Non-polar Polar www.thermoscientific.com/chromatography 139

Chromacol WebSeal Product Selection: The Chromacol WebSeal system is a comprehensive range of 96-well titer plates with glass inserts and a silicone/ptfe coated sealing mat. This system provides the analyst with 96 completely inert chambers and reduces the risk of cross-contamination from well to well when removing the cover. The products are ideal for High Throughput Screening, Combinatorial Chemistry, Life Science applications and HPLC. WebSeal mats are typically blue or clear silicone rubber in nature. The clear mats have no PTFE coating, making them ideal for use with aqueous mobile phases. Blue mats have a thin protective film of sprayed PTFE, making them ideal for use with organic solvents. Mats are available in standard and pre-cut versions for delicate autosampler needles. The addition of vials to the 96-well plates allows the use of aggressive solvents in the WebSeal system. Products are available in volumes from 500µL to 1.5mL.
