Determination of six bisphenols in human urine by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a solid phase extraction-ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of six bisphenols(bisphenol S,bisphenol F,bisphenol A,2,2'-methylenediphenol,bisphenol AF,bisphenol AP)in urine.METHODS After enzymolysis of urine sample,the target substances were quickly purified and extracted by WAX solid phase extraction column.On ACQUITY BEH C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm,1.7 μm),the mobile phase of water and methanol was used to separate.Finally,multi-reaction detection was carried out under electrospray negative ion scanning,and quantification was carried out by internal standard method.RESULTS The correlation coefficients(r)of the target compounds were all more than 0.998 in the range of 0.1-50.0ng/mL,the linearity was good,and the detection limits were all lower than 0.1 ng/mL.The recoveries of the three standard concentrations(0.5,5.0 and 50.0 ng/mL)were all between 80%and 120%,and the relative standard deviation was less than 20%(n=5).The standard reference material was detected and the concentration was within the reference range.CONCLUSION This method can be used to detect six bisphenols in urine quickly and accurately,is suitable for the trace analysis of bisphenol compounds in human urine.
