Sample clean-up and analyte enrichment was performed by automated solid-phase extraction (ASPE) with a silica gel cartridge. Detection capabilities (CCbeta) related to the transition products of lowest abundance for the method were 0.04-0.45ngg(-1) in tissue and were achieved using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) in negative mode. The use of an internal standard in combination with the simplified sample preparation led to a sensitive and reliable analytical method. The recovery level of the method was 84-108% for DES and DEN between 0.5 and 5ngg(-1), and 59-87% for HEX between 0.25 and 2.5ngg(-1). | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
