Abstract:

A method is developed for the determination of glufosinate-ammonium (GLUF), glyphosate (PMG) and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in tea using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The sample is extracted with ultrapure water and dichloromethane under ultrasonication, followed by a simple cleanup with a C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge, and then GLUF, PMG and AMPA are derivatized using 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC-Cl) in borate buffer. The derivatives of GLUF, PMG and AMPA are separated on a Waters HSS T3 column in a gradient elution mode, and finally detected with positive electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The quantification analysis is performed by external standard method. The method shows a good linearity (R2>0.999) in the range of 0-100 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LODs) of GLUF, PMG and AMPA is 0.7 g/kg. At the spiked level of 2.0, 4.0和10.0 μg/kg, the recovery of GLUF, PMG and AMPA is 86.3%-100.2%,85.7%-101.5%, and 88.1%-98.4%, respectively, and the relative standard deviation (RSDs) (n=6) of GLUF, PMG and AMPA is 1.1%-5.0% respectively. This method is simple, rapid and characterized with acceptable sensitivity and accuracy to meet the requirements for the analysis of GLUF, PMG and AMPA simultaneously in tea.
