Development of a rapid efficient solid-phase microextraction: An overhead rotating flat surface sorbent based 3-D graphene oxide/ lanthanum nanoparticles @ Ni foam for separation and determination of sulfonamides in animal-based food products

Abstract

In this study, an overhead rotating flat surface sorbent based solid-phase microextraction was developed as a rapid and efficient method for simultaneous separation and determination of sulfonamides in animal based-food products. 3D graphene oxide/ lanthanum nanoparticles @ Ni foam was introduced as a novel selective sorbent. SEM-EDX and FT-IR techniques were applied for characterization of the sorbent. At optimum conditions, the linear ranges of 0.4-700.0 (µg L^-1), 0.3-900.0 (µg L^-1), and 0.25-500 (µg L^-1) and the enrichment factors of 606.8, 604.3, 608.9 were obtained for SDZ, SMX, and SMZ, respectively. The LOD (S/N = 3) of 0.14, 0.11, 0.08 (µg L^-1) were achieved for SDZ, SMX, and SMZ, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision (%) (five days, n = 7) for the concentration of 100 µg L^-1 were less than 4.3 and 3.8, respectively. The recoveries over 90.0 % revealed high capability of the method for utilization in complex matrixes.
