[Determination method for 17 pesticides in common in whole blood by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry with solid-phase extraction sample cleanup].
OBJECTIVE
To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 17 common pesticides in whole blood by solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-MS).


METHODS
Whole blood samples were treated by extraction with acetonitrile, and the obtained extract was cleaned up using an Oasis HLB SPE cartridge; pesticides were separated by GC and quantitatively analyzed by MS with selected ion monitoring.


RESULTS
The concentrations of 17 pesticides in whole blood were 1.0-5.0 mg/L, and the recovery rate was 41.3-102.1%, with a relative standard deviation of less than 10%in most pesticides. The 17 pesticides showed a good linear relationship between concentration and peak area within 0.5-5.0 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9945-0.9994. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.02-0.05 mg/L and 0.05-0.09 mg/L, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
With this method, 17 pesticides in whole blood can be well separated and determined. This method has high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision and can be used for identification and quantification of multiple pesticides in blood samples.
