A kit or composition for in situ simultaneously derivatization of 14 phenol and carboxylic acid metabolites of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in a urine sample is disclosed. The derivatization imparts a positive charge to phenol and carboxylic acid for subsequent LC-MS analysis. Limit of detection reached part-per-trillion levels for o-Cresol and part-per-billion levels for the remaining BTEX metabolites. BTEX metabolites can be detected in less than 35 mins according to one embodiment of the invention. Methods, kits and compositions disclosed herein can be used for in situ simultaneous derivatization of phenol and carboxylic acid in aqueous solution in general.
本文介绍了一种针对尿样中苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯(BTEX)的14种酚和羧酸代谢物的原位同时衍生化试剂盒或组合物。衍生化使酚和羧酸带有正电荷,以便进行后续的LC-MS分析。对于o-甲酚,检测限达到了每万亿级别,对于其余的BTEX代谢物,检测限达到了每十亿级别。根据本发明的一种实施方式,BTEX代谢物可以在不到35分钟内被检测到。本文所披露的方法、试剂盒和组合物可用于一般水溶液中酚和羧酸的原位同时衍生化。
