Abstract Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a solventless sample preparation method that combines sample preparation, isolation, concentration, and enrichment into one step. A simple and effective method coupling headspace-SPME to GC/MS was developed for the analysis of chlorpyrifos, fenitrothion, endosulfan I, and endosulfan II pesticide residues in cocoa powder. In this study, multivariate strategy was used to determine the significance of the factors affecting the SPME of the pesticides using a Plackett-Burman design, and the significant factors were optimized using central composite design. The analytes were extracted with 100 μm polydimethylsiloxane fibers according to the factorial design matrix and desorbed into a GC/MS instrument. The developed method was applied for the analysis of a cocoa powder sample, and it exhibited good figures of merit for the analytical methodology. Using the optimized conditions, the linearity ranged from 2.5 to 500 μg/kg (R2 > 0.99) using an internal standard calibration method, and the average recoveries were between 75 and 95%, with RSD values between 3.8 and 9.7%.

Abstract Significant advances have been made over the past decade in methodology for the analysis of foods and other samples for volatile N-nitrosamines. Procedures for the isolation, cleanup, and concentration of N-nitrosamines were developed and applied to a broad range of food types. Several chromatographic techniques and systems have also been developed which are capable of resolving AT-nitrosamines in complex mixtures in a single run, and the use of highly selective detectors has decreased sample preparation time while increasing sensitivity and precision. Unequivocal confirmation of N-nitrosamines in foods can now be achieved by mass spectrometry at low to sub-μg/kg levels. However, further development of methodology for nonvolatile N-nitroso compounds is needed. This review paper discusses these and other topics related to the analysis of foods for N-nitrosamines.

Abstract New analytical techniques and instrumentation and increased knowledge of the diversity and distribution of glucosinolates, the diversity of their enzymatically released products, and factors influencing their release, have led to significant advances in methodology for analysis of glucosinolates over the past three decades. However, many of the methods have been developed for specific agricultural crops or commodities and their particular glucosinolate compositions. They can only be applied to certain types of plant material or can detect and quantitate only certain glucosinolates or their products. Other methods have been designed to meet specific research, regulatory, or quality control requirements. This had necessitated sacrifice of either speed, simplicity, accuracy, precision, or the ability to distinguish different glucosinolates or their products. This review examines the methods available for sample preparation, identification, and quantitation of glucosinolates in light of current knowledge of their diversity, distribution, and chemistry. Consideration is given to the suitability of methods for rapid screening or precise, discriminating measurement, and to the standardization of methodology and reporting of results.

Abstract The development of advanced logic processing technologies has hit a critical slowing period over the past 10 years. Long gone are the booming days of exponential growth seen in chip transistor density as described by Moore's Law back in 1965.[1] With modern logic manufacturers now capable of creating transistors in the 5-7 nm node range, having the ability to isolate, inspect, and probe individual metal and via layers is of utmost importance for defect inspection and design validation. In this realm of failure analysis, it is critical that design manufacturers possess the ability to isolate any given single layer of their logic samples. These isolated layers can be inspected for defects via SEM, provide validation of CAD designs, or tested with electrical probing for failure analysis. The work here-in describes a functional workflow that enables manufacturers to perform this kind of sample preparation in an automated fashion using the Thermo Scientific™ Helios™ G5 PFIB platform. This workflow can be utilized by both the Thermo Scientific Full Wafer and Small Dual Beam PFIB platforms to streamline sample analysis and failure testing in both the lab and fabrication environments.
