Fast clean-up for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls analysis of high-fat-content biological samples

J Chromatogr A. 2001 Aug 3;925(1-2):207-21. doi: 10.1016/s0021-9673(01)01047-0.

Abstract

A fast clean-up procedure for the low level analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins. polychlorinated dibenzofurans and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls in highly fatty biological matrices using high capacity disposable multi-layer silica columns is presented. Results were compared with gel permeation chromatography for removal of lipids. Analytical criteria such as recovery rates, repeatability, reproducibility and robustness are evaluated through a broad range of biological matrices and reference materials analysis. The final proposed procedure for the complete analysis, including pressurized liquid extraction, Power-Prep system clean-up and GC-high-resolution MS analysis requires only 48 h, and allows the simultaneous preparation of up to 10 samples.
