METHOD FOR QUANTITATION OF BLOOD PENZAPYRENE BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/50 G01N30/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: each blood sample is analysed twice. A fresh blood sample is centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 5 min. The samples are separated in plasma fractions and formed elements. A solid-phase plasma extraction is performed by sequential passing of 100% acetonitrile, plasma, distilled water, 50% acetonitrile solution under vacuum through a cartridge with Oasis HLB 3 cc sorbent. The cartridge with the sorbent is dried under vacuum, and 100% methylene chloride is passed through the sorbent. An aliquot portion of the produced extract is chromatographed. Producing the extract of formed elements is ensured by dispersed solid-phase extraction: by adding 100% acetonitrile thereto and agitating intensively. That is followed by adding a number of QuECHeRS salts for extraction, agitating, centrifuging for 10 minutes at 2,000 rpm; that is accompanying by forming 3 layers; an upper layer is transferred to another test tube, which contains a number of QuECHeRS salts for purification; the layers are centrifuged at 2,000 rpm; the upper layer is sampled. Plasma and formed elements extracts are analysed by Agilent 1200 liquid chromatograph with a fluorimetric detector on Zorbax column 50 mm long and having an inner diameter of 4.6 mm with Eclipse PAH C18 sorbent at column temperature 27°C; a movable phase is presented by mixed acetonitrile and water at flow rate 1.5 cm³/min and optimising elution in the gradient mode (supplying the movable phase of 60 vl % to 68 vl % of acetonitrile for 1 min, increasing 60 vl % to 68 vl % of acetonitrile for 3 min, increasing 68 vl % to 70 vl % for 0.5 min, increasing acetonitrile 70 vl % to 90 vl % for 1.5 min, increasing acetonitrile 90 vl % to 100 vl % for 4.5 min, supplying 100% acetonitrile for 1.5 min, reducing acetonitrile to 60 vl % and supplying 60% acetonitrile for 4 min to balance the column). An excitation wavelength of the fluorimetric detector makes 265 nm, and an emission wavelength makes 412 nm. A calibration chart is used to quantify benz(a)pyrene in plasma and formed elements separately, while the results are summed up.

EFFECT: invention provides high sensitivity of the method and ensures selectivity in a combination with its accessibility for routine analyses.
