Abstract
A simple and reliable solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS) method was developed for the single-step determination of PCBs 126 and 153 in tat brain and serum, using liquid/liquid and solid phase extraction (SPE) as reference techniques. The multi-factor categorical experimental design used to study Simultaneously the main parameters and their interactions affecting the efficiency of the method, showed that the use of an 85 mu m PA exposed at 100, C for 40 min was the optimum sampling condition for both PCBs. SPME was then validated by studying its linear dynamic (over two orders of magnitude), limits of detection (brain: 2 ng/g, serum: 0.2 ng/g) and analytical precision that was within 9% for SPME in both brain and serum. Finally, the method was used to determine the brain and blood target dose in mothers and pups after oral exposure of the mothers. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
