  • Title: Solid-phase extraction versus solid-phase microextraction for the determination of chlorinated paraffins in water using gas chromatography-negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry.
    Author: Castells P, Santos FJ, Galceran MT.

    Abstract:
    Solid-phase extraction (SPE) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) were evaluated for the analysis of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in water samples using gas chromatography coupled to negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS). For SPE optimisation, four commercially available SPE cartridges were tested and several SPE parameters, such as the elution solvent, elution volume and breakthrough volume were studied. The best results were obtained with Varian Bond Elut-C18. In order to achieve a high selectivity in the determination of SCCPs, GC-NCI-MS was used. Quality parameters of the optimised SPE and SPME procedures were determined, and the best results were obtained for the SPE/GC-NCI-MS method with LODs of 5 and 20 ng l(-1) for tap and river water, respectively. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of SCCPs in river water samples at concentrations below the microg l(-1) level.
