INTRODUCTIONOasis PRiME HLB Food Applications and Technical BriefsWhen testing for different classes of contaminants, food safety and testinglaboratories must develop sensitive and robust analytical methods for a varietyof complex food matrices. Historically, scientists have attempted to reduce matrixeffects by removing interferences such as lipids, phospholipids, and pigmentsfrom the extracts by using traditional solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbents suchas silic-based C18. While traditional SPE products have been successful at removingfats, it becomes very challenging to remove multiple major interferences from acomplex sample matrix.Oasis PRiME HLB has recently been used to quickly and efficiently remove all majorinterferences including fats and phospholipids, as well as pigments from foodmatrices, using the simple and fast pass-through protocol. This enables Oasis PRiMEHLB to be used as a powerful matrix removal tool for multi-residue analysis. Foodcontaminants, such as veterinary drugs, pesticides, mycotoxins, or other compoundspass through the sorbent without retention, while the Oasis PRiME HLB holds backinterferences leading to matrix effects reduction. In this booklet, we have collectedapplication notes to demonstrate how Oasis PRiME HLB cleans up challenging foodsamples, resulting in better accuracy, system uptime and method robustness.6Introduction

[ TECHNOLOGY[ APPLICATIONBRIEFNOTE] ]Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge for Effective Cleanup of Meat ExtractsPrior to Multi-Residue Veterinary Drug UPLC-MS AnalysisMichael S. Young and Kim TranFats and phospholipids are significant potentialinstrument and column contaminants. OasisPRiME HLB Cartridges provide a rapid cleanupto remove these substances from meat extractsprior to LC-MS analysis.GOALTHE SOLUTIONTo demonstrate the effectiveness of theOasis PRiME HLB Cartridge for cleanup ofmeat extracts prior to UPLC -MS analysis.Pass-through cleanup with the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge.This procedure is highly effective for removal of both fatand phospholipid from meat extracts. Just as important,the recoveries of the veterinary drugs are not compromisedwith Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge cleanup. The recoveriesare similar to those obtained using hexane defatting or C 18silica cleanup but Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge cleanup ismore effective.BACKGROUNDWaters has developed an optimizedsample preparation and analysis protocolfor multi-class, multi-residue LC-MS/MSscreening of veterinary drug residues inmeat. The major constituents of a typicalmeat sample are water (up to 70%), protein(15–25%), fat (5–25%) and phospholipid(1–3%). During the sample pre-extraction,the protein is removed from the extractby precipitation and centrifugation.However, significant amounts of fat andphospholipid are co-extracted along withthe target veterinary drugs. The presenceof these co-extracted substances canlead to interference in the LC-MS analysis,contamination of the analytical columnand other components of the UPLCSystem, and contamination of the massspectrometer itself. Fats have traditionallybeen removed from meat extracts usingcumbersome hexane defatting steps or bythe use of reversed-phase sorbents such asC 18- silica. Although these techniques maybe effective for fat removal, neither of theseprocedures removes phospholipids.8EXPERIMENTALInitial Extraction. Typical pork samples (5 g, 15% fat) werefortified with representative compounds chosen from majorclasses of veterinary drugs. The homogenized meat sampleswere extracted with 10 mL of 80:20 acetonitrile/water with0.2% formic acid. The samples were vortexed for 30 seconds,shaken for 30 minutes, and then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for5 minutes.Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge Cleanup. An Oasis PRiME HLBCartridge (3 cc, 60 mg) was mounted on a pre-cleanedvacuum manifold. No cartridge conditioning is required orwas performed. A 0.5 mL aliquot of the supernatant waspassed-through the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge andcollected. The collected sample was diluted three-fold withaqueous 10 mM ammonium formate buffer (pH 4.5) prior toUPLC-MS/MS analysis.Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge for Effective Cleanup of Meat Extracts Prior to Multi-Residue Veterinary Drug UPLC-MS Analysis

RESULTSLittle or no recovery loss was observed in the pass-through cleanup step for any of the tested compounds.Absolute recoveries (measuring mostly the effectiveness of the initial liquid extraction) averaged over 80% forthe tested compounds except for phenylbutazone (32%). These recoveries are consistent with C 18-silica cleanupbut no phospholipids are removed with C 18-silica. UPLC-MS/MS conditions and chromatograms are presentedin Figure 1. Figure 2 shows chromatograms that illustrate the effectiveness of the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge forphospholipid removal; greater than 90% more phospholipid is removed compared with C 18-silica cleanup. Usinggravimetric analysis it was also determined that the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge removed more than 90% of theco-extracted fat from the pork extract.Instrument:ACQUITY UPLC I-ClassColumn:1.7 µm CSH C18, 2.1 x 100 mm(p/n 186005297)30 CSample temp.:10 CDetection:MS:TQ-SInjection vol.:5 µL for 3 cc and 6 cc003452.7015% B initial to 40% B at 2.5 min,to 95% B at 3.9 min, hold to4.9 min, back to 15% B at5.0 min and hold to 7.0 minStandard needle for UPLC, 153453.45100023467 minPhenylbutazone50 µg/kg12343.44567 minDexamethasone50 µg/kg12341.09567 minEnrofloxacin50 µg/kg12341.56100054.28567 minSulfamerazine%Strong wash(solvent 3 and 6 cc): 50/30/20 water:ACN:IPA7 min25 µg/kg110006Penicillin%Weak wash(solvent 3 and 6 cc): 10/90 ACN:water10% MeOH210007 min50 µg/kg1%06Chloramphenicol%ACN with 0.1% formic acidCompound2%Water with 0.1% formic acidMobile phase B:Seal wash:50 µg/kg1100Mobile phase A:Needle:Oxytetracycline100Run time (flow rate): 7 minutes (0.04 mL/min)Gradient:1.04%Column temp.:100%UPLC Conditions25 µg/kg123456Precursor ion (m/z)Product ion (m/z)Cone voltage *321.1152.13017Oxytetracycline461.2426.230217 minCollision energy (eV)*Chloramphenicol ESI-, others ESI ionizationFigure 1.

[ APPLICATION NOTE ]A Simple Cleanup Protocol Using a Novel SPE Device forUPLC-MS/MS Analysis of Multi-Residue Veterinary Drugs in MilkDeFeng Huang,1 Kim Van Tran,2 and Michael S. Young21Waters Technologies, Ltd., Shanghai, China; 2Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USAAPPLICATION BENEFITS Enable simultaneously determination ofmulti-class of veterinary drugs using aninnovative solid phase extraction device.Simple, fast, pass-through SPE cleanupprior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis.The matrix interference from fatty/non-polarmaterials and phospholipids are removedtogether in one straightforward SPE cleanupfor longer column life and less maintenanceof the mass spectrometer.SUMMARYIn this experiment a new solid phase extraction (SPE)device, the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge, was used in thesample preparation of milk samples as a cleanup method formulti-residue veterinary drug analysis. The initial extractionand protein precipitation was done by adding acidifiedacetonitrile. The extract was cleaned up by pass-thru SPEusing the Oasis PRiME HLB Cartridge prior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Sample extraction, chromatographic and massparameters were all optimized. As a result, within the rangesof 0.1 to 10.0 µg/mL spiking concentrations, 9 classes of 72veterinary drugs including sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones,β-agonists, macrolides, glucocorticoids, amphenicols,β-lactams, cephalosporins, penicillin, and tetracyclines, thepercent recoveries are all within 50% to 130%, and the RSD 20% (n 5). This method is simple, rapid, and accurate,suitable for multi-residue veterinary drug analysis of milk.INTRODUCTIONWATERS SOLUTIONSACQUITY UPLC I-Class SystemXevo TQ-S Mass SpectrometerACQUITY UPLC BEH C 18 ColumnOasis PRiME HLB 3 cc 60 mg cartridgesTruView LCMS Certified VialsMassLynx v4.1 data system withQuanpedia databaseKEY WORDSOasis PRiME HLB, multi-residue, veterinarydrug, SPE, milk, UPLC-MS/MSMany veterinary drugs are used to treat animals grown forhuman consumption. The presence of excessive amounts ofdrug residues in animal products such as milk may representa health hazard. Therefore, effective and reliable analyticalmethods are required to identify and quantify drug residuesin animal products. Among the frequently used veterinarydrugs in the animal farms are sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones,β-agonists, macrolides, glucocorticoids, amphenicols,β-lactams, cephalosporins, and tetracyclines. Drug residuesin an animal’s bloodstream can be introduced into the milkof lactating animals and eventually transferred to humansby consumption of the milk. Among the consequences arepossible allergic reactions and the induced side effect of drugresistance. Therefore the monitoring of residual veterinarydrugs of milk plays a significant role in the assurance of foodsafety of dairy products. Currently the published methodsfrom official agencies and literatures are individual methodsbased on individual classes of compounds.A Simple Cleanup Protocol Using a Novel SPE Device for UPLC-MS/MS Analysis of Multi-Residue Veterinary Drugs in Milk11

[ APPLICATION NOTE ]The goal of combining these individual methods into one multi-class method is difficult to accomplish due to theunavailability of a robust universal sample preparation procedure. Creating one single LC-MS/MS instrumentalmethod for multiple classes of veterinary drugs poses certain degree of challenge as well.EXPERIMENTALUPLC ConditionsSystem:ACQUITY UPLC I-ClassColumn:ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18,1.7 µm, 2.1 x 100 mmInjection volume:5 µLTemperature:45 CMobile phase A:10 mM ammoniumacetate in water (pH 5.0)Mobile phase B:10 mM ammoniumacetate in methanolFlow rate:0.45 mL/minGradient:2 %B initial and holdto 0.25 minutes, lineargradient to 99 %B at12.25 minutes, hold to13.0 minutes, back to2 %B at 13.01 minutes,hold and re-equilibrateuntil 17 minutesMS conditions for UPLCInstrument:Xevo TQ-SMode:Electrospray (ES andES-)Capillary:3.5 kVSource temp.:150 CCone gas:150 L/hrDesolvation temp.:600 CDesolvation gas:1000 L/hrCollision gas (Argon):0.15 mL/minThis method utilizes Waters’ new and novel OasisPRiME HLB Solid Phase Extraction Device.

It contains large amounts of proteins and phospholipids, which interferes with thedetection of target analytes. It is essential to cleanup the complex matrix of milk and to release the analytes fromthe effect of matrix.For the initial extraction and protein precipitation, 3:1 and 4:1 ratios of acetonitrile and milk were evaluated at both0.2% and 1.0% formic acid concentrations. Results indicated that 1.0% formic acid in acetonitrile and milk at ratioof 4:1 gives the best effect of protein precipitation. However, 1% formic in acetonitrile has negative impact on therecoveries especially for the basic analytes like sulfonamides (see Figure 1). This could be because the more acidiccondition gives rise to a higher degree of ionization of the sulfonamides with resulting solubility decrease in thehigh organic solvent. Therefore, 0.2% formic acid in acetonitrile mixed with milk at a 4:1 ratio was chosen for thefinal extraction and protein precipitation.16A Simple Cleanup Protocol Using a Novel SPE Device for UPLC-MS/MS Analysis of Multi-Residue Veterinary Drugs in Milk

The comparison of recovery of sulfonamides for using 0.2% and 1.0% formic acid.The large amount of phospholipids in milk not only becomes matrix interference for target analyte analysis, butalso increases the cost and time of instrument maintenance. The use of Oasis PRiME HLB can remove the fat andphospholipids in sample matrix. As a result, the numbers of samples that could be analyzed are greatly increasedbefore maintenance. In Figure 2, the effect of phospholipids removal by using SPE cleanup is compared to themilk sample only by protein precipitation. The sample after protein precipitation still has significant phospholipidspresent in the matrix that are mostly removed by the SPE cleanup.Figure 2.
