Objective:
To establish a method for twelve halobenzoquinones(HBQs) in drinking water by solid phase extraction-ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry(SPE-UPLC-MS/MS).
Methods:
The drinking water was acidified with formic acid and concentrated by Bond Elut Plexa solid phase extraction column. The sample solution was separated using Waters ACQUITY HSS T3 column(100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) with gradient elution using methanol-water containing 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase. The target compouds were detected in negtive electrospray ionization(ESI~-) and multiple reaction monitoring.
Results:
The concentration of twelve HBQs showed good linearity in the range 5.0-150.0 ng/mL, respectively, with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999. The limits of detection(LOD) of twelve HBQs were lower than 2.0 ng/mL, and the limits of quantification(LOQ) for twelve HBQs were lower than 5.0 ng/mL, respectively. The recoveries of three levels in the matrix were 70.0%-84.0%. The matrix effffect was 0.08-0.64.
Conclusion:
The SPE-UPLC-MS/MS method has high sensitivity, good accuracy and fast analysis speed for the detection of halobenzoquinones in drinking water.
