    Evaluation of total phenol pollution in water of San Martin Canal from Santiago del Estero, Argentina.
    (Elsevier, 2018-05) Acosta Rosales, Carina Andrea; López, Clara; Paniagua González, Gema; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    Santiago del Estero is a province located in northwestern Argentina. The Dulce River is used for irrigation through a vast network of channels and ditches, including the San Martin Canal (SMC), which crosses the capital city of Santiago del Estero. This canal's water is used for drinking, as well as recreational use for the general population. However, this river has been seriously polluted for several decades. The present study focuses on the identification and the quantification of the water pollution levels of total phenols in the SMC according to the seasonal periods. Water samples from various areas of the canal in different months of the year, extending from December to September, were collected for analysis. Additionally, the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorides, sulphates, nitrites and organic matter, as well as water hardness and alkalinity, were analysed in order to conduct a more complete study of the contamination of this area. The results showed a worrying total phenol concentration that exceeded the limit set by Argentine legislation for drinking water, as well as water for recreational use (5 μg/L). The total phenol (TP) concentration was directly determined by a molecular absorption spectroscopy method based on a new flow injection analysis system (FIA). Under the selected experimental conditions, the detection and quantification limits were 0.0490 and 0.1633 μg/mL, respectively. The developed method provides a number of improvements related to the speed of analysis, the restricted consumption of the reagents and sample volumes and the unnecessary sample treatment that contribute to environmentally friendly analytical chemistry. The results showed that TP make a significant contribution in the SMC pollution, especially during the months of April (400 ± 110 μg/L) and September (240 ± 20 μg/L). A high sulphate concentration that was higher than the limit allowed by the legislation was also found.

    Assessing matrix solid phase dispersion extraction strategies for determining bisphenols and phthalates in gilthead sea bream samples
    (MDPI, 2024-01) Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Paniagua González, Gema; Bravo Yagüe, Juan Carlos; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are widely spread in the environment, generating significant concern due to their potential impact on environmental health. Marine species usually ingest plastic fragments, mistaking them for food. Many toxic compounds, such as plastic additives that are not chemically bound to the plastic matrix, can be released from MPs and NPs and reach humans via the food chain. This paper highlights the development and validation of a straightforward solid–liquid extraction clean-up procedure in combination with a matrix solid-phase dispersion method using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) detection, enabling facile, precise, and reliable identification and quantitation of a total of six bisphenols and phthalates in gilthead sea breams. Under the optimized conditions, the developed method showed good linearity (R2 > 0.993) for all target compounds. The recoveries obtained were between 70 and 92%. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for reproducibility (inter-day) and repeatability (intra-day) were less than 9% and 10%, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for the target compounds ranged from 0.11 to 0.68 µg/kg and from 0.37 to 2.28 µg/kg, respectively. A new, efficient extraction methodology for the determination of BPA, BPS, BPF, DBP, DEP, and DHEP in gilthead seabream has been optimized and validated.

    Development of a molecularly imprinted polymeric membrane for determination of macrolide antibiotics from cow milk
    (Elsevier, 2022-05-17) Cañadas Soler, Raquel; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    A molecular imprinted membrane (MIM) was prepared for the selective binding of macrolide antibiotics by UV-initiated non-covalent imprinting approach . The membrane was modified by a UV - photographting technique in the presence of molecule templates of erythromycin (ERY) and spiramycin (SPI) with methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinker. The nanofunctionalized MIM obtained was characterized by a morphological study using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as by a study of its adsorption capacity by online solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure. Variables affecting the MIM-SPE method were optimized to maximize the extraction of macrolide antibiotics of interest and a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used for the analysis. Good linearity and precision were obtained for ERY and SPI, with average recoveries up to 86.14 % and 34.73 %, respectively, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 6 %. In addition, selectivity was studied for other macrolides with similar structure to the templates, such as roxithromycin (ROX), josamycin (JOS), ivermectin (IVER) and tylosin (TYL). The proposed MIM-SPE-HPLC methodology was effectively applied to ERY and SPI determination in commercial doped semi-skimmed cow’s milk samples.

    Molecularly imprinted SPE and MEKC with in-capillary sample preconcentration for the determination of digoxin in human urine.
    (Wiley, 2012-06) Guijarro Díez, Miguel; Crego, Antonio Luis; Marina Alegre, María Luisa; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) combined with MEKC was used for clean-up, preconcentration and determination of digoxin in the presence of its aglycon digoxin (digoxigenin) in human urine samples. In addition, the use of an in-capillary sample concentration electrophoretic technique by sweeping was investigated to enhance the concentration sensitivity in MEKC. The highly selective, fast and effective sample pretreatment by MISPE along with the preconcentration by sweeping could overcome the low sensitivity of the highly efficient capillary electrophoresis separation with UV detection. The optimization of the variables affecting the separation as well as MISPE conditions procedure was carried out to select the best conditions of selectivity and sensitivity to determine digoxin at low concentration levels in urine. To demonstrate the suitability of the developed method several analytical characteristics (selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and LOD) were evaluated. Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of linearity (r > 0.99), recovery (95.4–96.5% with RSD from 1.3% to 2.6%), precision (RSD from 0.3% to 1.7% for migration times and from 2.1% to 7.3% for corrected peak areas), and sensitivity (LODs of 6 μg/L with 5 mL of sample or 1.2 μg/L with 25 mL). The proposed MISPE-MEKC method was satisfactorily applied to the analysis of spiked human urine samples achieving a concentration factor up to 7500-fold.

    A MIP-based flow-through fluoroimmunosensor as an alternative to immunosensors for the determination of digoxin serum samples
    (Springer, 2009-01-09) Durand Alegría, Jesús Senén; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    This work reports a comparative study of two automated flow-through fluorosensors for the determination of digoxin in serum samples: an immunosensor with an anti-digoxin polyclonal antibody as the reactive phase permanently immobilized on CPG, and a sensor with a selective reaction system based on a methacrylic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) synthesized by bulk polymerisation. The variables affecting the sensitivity and dynamic range of the sensors (e.g., the carrier and elution solutions, flow-rates, pH and reagent concentrations) were optimised and the binding characteristics of their reactive phases compared in a competitive fluorescent assay. Digoxin was reproducibly determined by both sensors at the mg L-1 level (detection limit= 1.20×10-3 mg L-1 and RSD= 4-7% for the immunosensor; detection limit= 1.7×10-5 mg L-1 and RSD= 1-2% for the MIP sensor). No cross reactivity with digoxinrelated compounds was seen for either sensor at a digoxin:interferent ratio of 1:100. The lifetime of the immunosensor was about 50 immunoassays; its shelf life, when unused, is about three months. The lifetime of the MIP sensor was over 18 months. Both sensors were used to determine the digoxin concentration of human serum samples with satisfactory results.

    A morphological study of molecularly imprinted polymers using the scanning electron microscope
    (Elsevier, 2006-01) Durand Alegría, Jesús Senén; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    Molecular imprinting is an emerging technique for producing polymers with applications in affinity-based separation, in biomimetic sensors, in catalysis, etc. This variety of uses relies upon the production of polymers with different affinities, specificities, sensitivities and loading capacities. Research into the development of molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) with new or improved morphologies – which involves modification of the polymerisation process – is therefore underway. This paper reports a comparative study of non-covalent MIPs synthesised by “bulk” polymerisation using digoxin as template. These were synthesised under different conditions, i.e., changing the functional monomers employed (methacrylic acid or 2-vinylpyridine), the porogens (acetonitrile or dichloromethane) used, and by altering the volume of the latter. The polymerisation process was allowed to proceed either under UV light or in a thermostat-controlled waterbath. The surface morphology (was determined by scanning electron microscopy) and the ability of the different polymers to selectively rebind the template was then evaluated.

    On-line flow injection molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction for the preconcentration and determination of 1-hydroxypyrene in urine samples
    (Elsevier, 2017-05-01) Serrano, Montserrat; Bartolomé, Mónica; Gañán Aceituno, Judith; Gallego Picó, Alejandrina; Bravo Yagüe, Juan Carlos; Paniagua González, Gema; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    New analytical strategies tend to automation of sample pre-treatment and flow analysis techniques provided a number of enhanced analytical methods allowing high throughput. Flow techniques are usually faster, more robust and more flexible than their batch equivalents. In addition, flow methods use less sample and reagent amounts and reduce analytical costs and waste. A flow injection solid-phase extraction pre-concentration system using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) packed micro-column was developed for the determination of 1-hydroxypyrene in human urine with fluorescence detection. The pre-concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene on the MIP was carried out based on the specific retention of analyte by on-line introducing the sample into the micro-column system. Methanol and dichloromethane mixture was used to elute the retained analyte for fluorometric analysis. Important influencing factors were studied in detail, in batch and in flow (MISPE procedure optimisation, sample and eluent volumes, flow rate, dimensions of MIP micro-column and amounts of packing material, etc). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first on-line flow injection molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction for the pre-concentration and determination of hydroxylate PAH metabolite in urine samples. The optimised method was successfully applied to the determination of 1-Hydroxypyrene in spiked urine samples, with recoveries in the range of 74–85% and RSD<4.6%. Under optimum experimental conditions, the linearity concentration range used was 10–400 μg L−1, R2>0.996. We obtained limit of detection and quantification of 3.1 μg L−1 and 10.5 μg L−1, respectively

    Determination of digoxin in serum samples using a flow-through fluorosensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer
    (Elsevier, 2008-06-15) Durand Alegría, Jesús Senén; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    This work describes the development of a competitive flow-through FIA assay for digoxin using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as the recognition phase. In previous work, a number of non-covalent imprinted polymers were synthesised by “bulk” polymerisation. The digoxin binding and elution characteristics of these MIPs were then evaluated to obtain a highly selective material for integration into a sensor. The optimum MIP was synthesised by photo-initiated polymerisation of a mixture containing digoxin, MAA, EDGMA and AIBN in acetonitrile. The bulk polymer was ground and sieved and the template removed by Soxhlet extraction in MeOH/ACN. The MIP was packed into a flow cell and placed in a spectrofluorimeter to integrate the reaction and detection systems. The physical and chemical variables involved in digoxin determination by the sensor (nature and concentration of solution, flow rates, etc.) were optimised. Binding with the non-imprinted polymer (NIP) was also analysed. The new fluorosensor showed high selectivity and sensitivity, a detection limit of 1.7 × 10−2 μg l−1, and high reproducibility (R.S.D. of 1.03% and 1.77% for concentrations of 1.0 × 10−3 and 4.0 × 10−3 mg l−1, respectively). Selectivity was tested by determining the cross-reactivity of several compounds with structures analogous to digoxin. Under the assay conditions used, in which the potential interfering compounds were in concentrations 100 times higher than that of the analyte, no interference was recorded. The proposed fluorosensor was successfully used to determine digoxin concentration of human serum samples.

    Assessing microplastic ingestion and occurrence of bisphenols and phthalates in bivalves, fish and holothurians from a Mediterranean marine protected area
    (Elsevier, 2022-08-07) Rios Fuster, Beatriz; Alomar, Carme; Deudero, Salud; Paniagua González, Gema; Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    Microplastic (MP) ingestion, along with accumulated plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates represented by diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), were quantified in bivalves, fish, and holothurians collected from a coastal pristine area at the western Mediterranean Sea. MP ingestion in sediment-feeders holothurians (mean value 12.67 ± 7.31 MPs/individual) was statistically higher than ingestion in bivalves and fish (mean 4.83 ± 5.35 and 3 ± 4.44 MPs/individual, respectively). The main ingested polymers were polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The levels of BPS, BPF, and DEHP were highest in bivalves' soft tissue; BPA and DBP had the highest levels in the holothurians’ muscle. In addition, the levels of all plasticizers assessed were lowest in fish muscle; only BPA levels in fish were higher than in bivalves, with intermediate values between those of bivalves and holothurians. This study provides data on exposure to MPs and plasticizers of different species inhabiting Cabrera Marine Protected Area (MPA) and highlights the differences in MP ingestion and levels of plasticizers between species with different ecological characteristics and feeding strategies.

    Permanent oriented antibody immobilization for digoxin determination with a flow-through fluoroimmunosensor
    (Springer, 2003-02-28) Durand Alegría, Jesús Senén; Pérez Conde, Concepción; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Paniagua González, Gema
    Digoxin is a very important compound in clinical chemistry and is indicated in the treatment of congestive heart failure and artery disease. The measurement of serum digoxin concentration is necessary owing to the narrow therapeutic range of this drug. Further, even with similar dosage regimens, the biological response of patients often results in very different concentrations of digoxin in serum. Concentrations of greater than 2.6 mmol/L are generally interpreted as toxic in adult patients. Most methods for digoxin determination are based on gas chromatography or radiochemical and enzymatic immunoassay techniques. However, some of these methods are tedious and difficult to automate. Nowadays, they are being replaced by more practical immunoassay techniques, involving, for example, fluorescent immunosensors that allow rapid, automated and selective digoxin determinations. This paper reports a new flow–through fluoroimmunosensor for digoxin determination, the function of which is based on antibodies immobilized on an inmunoreactor of controlled pore glass (CPG). The immunosensor has a detection limit of 1.20 μg/L and provides high reproducibility (RSD = 4.5% for a concentration of 0.0025 mg/L, and RSD = 6.7% for 0.01 mg/L). The optimum working concentration range was found to be 1.2×10-3 - 4.0×10-2 mg/L. The lifetime of the immunosensor was about 50 immunoassays, if stored unused its lifetime can be extended to three months. A sample speed of about 10–12 samples per hour can be attained. Possible interference from substances with structures similar to digoxin (morphine, heroine, tebaine, codeine, pentazocine and narcotine) was investigated. No cross-reactivity was seen at the highest digoxin:interferent ratio studied (1:100). The proposed fluoroimmunosensor was successfully used to determine digoxin concentrations in human serum samples.
