- Seven neonicotinoids and one metabolite have been determined by LC-Orbitrap.
- Two online extraction systems were evaluated: TurboFlow⢠and SPE.
- Thirty six urine samples were analyzed by the developed method.
- Three neonicotinoids and one metabolite were detected in urine samples.
A semiautomated method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry has been developed for the determination of neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam) and the metabolite acetamiprid-n-desmethyl in urine samples. Two automated methods were tested (solid-phase extraction “SPE” and turbulent flow chromatography “TurboFlow⢔), obtaining the best results when TurboFlow⢠was applied. The total analysis time for the developed method was 14 min. The optimized method was validated, obtaining suitable results for all validation parameters. Recoveries ranged from 78% to 116% meanwhile repeatability and reproducibility were evaluated obtaining values lower than 10% and 20% respectively (except for dinotefuran and nitenpyram at 0.2 μg Lâ1). The limit of quantification (LOQ) for all compounds was established at 0.2 μg Lâ1. The proposed analytical methodology was applied to analyze the target compounds in thirty six urine samples from pregnant women living in agricultural areas of AlmerÃa (Spain). Imidacloprid, acetamiprid and acetamiprid-n-desmethyl were detected in some of the samples at concentrations ranging from 0.23 to 1.57 μg Lâ1. Furthermore, dinotefuran was identified in two samples at trace levels.
