1、GC-MS Screen for the Presence of Melamine (Adapted from FDA/ORA Forensic Chemistry Center SOP T015) Revised April 10, 2007PURPOSE:This procedure provides a general guide for the sample preparation and analysis of wheat gluten and pet food matrices for melamine using gas chromatography/mass spectrome
2、try. This procedure is designed to screen the TMS derivative of a methanol extract of the sample and it incorporates instrumental parameters which permit 10.5 minute run times.SCOPE:This procedure is applicable to dry wheat gluten, dry pet food, and wet “cuts and gravy” type pet food. This procedure
3、 involves extractions in methanol and therefore preselects compounds which are soluble or partially soluble in methanol. Due to solubility limitations of melamine in methanol, this method is intended to be a qualitative screen only.RESPONSIBILITY:It is the responsibility of the analyst to note any m

6、s if there is suspicion of carryover. A fortified sample (see Part C) should be analyzed with each set of samples to demonstrate effective system performance.PROCEDURES (PROCESS DETAILS):This procedure may be used with the GC operating in either the splitless or split (1:20) mode. Generally, the spl
7、itless mode is advisable for samples where more sensitivity is required. The split mode is suitable where sample availability is not limited and the recommended amount can be prepared (0.5 g sample preparations).A. Methanol Extract (Underivatized Extract): Unknown Wheat Gluten/Pet Food Samples: Tran
8、sfer approximately 0.500 g of the sample into a 20 ml scintillation vial and add 5 ml methanol. Vortex briefly to mix, then sonicate for 10 minutes. Centrifuge for approximately 6 minutes at 4500 rpm and then filter the liquid extract into a GC vial using a 0.45 m nylon filter disc. If sample is lim
9、ited, reduce extraction volumes and sample weights proportionately and analyze in the splitless mode. Duplicate preparations are recommended. B. Trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives:Melamine is detected as the 3-TMS derivative with a nominal molecular weight of 342 amu. The retention time of the 3-TMS d
10、erivative is approximately 7.1 minutes in the GC-MS chromatogram (see Figures 1-4).Blanks: Transfer 40L of methanol used to extract the sample to an autosampler vial. Evaporate to dryness under a stream of dry air using a Reacti-Vap module set at approximately 70C. Add 200 l pyridine and 200 l BSTFA
11、, vortex briefly to mix, and incubate at approximately 70C for 30 minutes. Known Samples: In general, if working with a known concentration of analyte (e.g. standards), appropriate dilutions should be made with pyridine/BSTFA to achieve an on column concentration no greater than 100 g/mL. After calc
12、ulating suitable dilutions, transfer an appropriate amount of the standard solution to an autosampler vial. Evaporate to dryness under a stream of dry air using a Reacti-Vap module set at approximately 70C. Add 200 l pyridine and 200 l BSTFA, vortex briefly to mix, and incubate at approximately 70C
13、for 30 minutes. Unknown Samples: Transfer 40 l of the methanol extract prepared for analysis in section A into an autosampler vial. Evaporate to dryness under a stream of dry air using a Reacti-Vap module set at approximately 70C. Add 200 l pyridine and 200 l BSTFA, vortex briefly to mix, and incuba
14、te at approximately 70C for 30 minutes. C. Sample Fortification: This method was successfully applied to detect melamine in wet and dry pet food composites (Figure 2) and dry wheat glutens (Figure 3). Based on HPLC-UV results, this method was able to detect melamine levels down to 0.01% (by weight)
15、in official FDA samples using 0.500 g samples with TMS derivatization and splitless injection. Uncontaminated wheat gluten and pet food composites were spiked with various levels of melamine and taken through the method using 0.500 g samples and splitless injection. The method successfully detected
16、melamine (as the 3TMS derivative) at 14 micrograms/g in the wheat gluten and at 7 micrograms/g in the pet food composite. At low spike levels, extracted ion chromatograms were used to verify the presence of four major ions of the melamine-TMS mass spectrum (m/z=342, 327, 171, and 99). Sample fortification experiments to demonstrate successful detection of melamine in the specif
