Abstract:

The aim of this novel study was to introduce a cheap, simple, sensitive and green methodology involving the dual application of synthesized porous SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) for selective conversion of non-fluorescent ketoprofen (KP) into a highly fluorescent species and as a sorbent in a m-sample preparation method for extraction of KP from the three-complex human serum, urine and canal water samples. The clean separation and sensitive fluorescence determination of KP from these complex samples were carried out by coupling an ion chromatograph with a fluorescence detector (IC-FLD). The sorbent was prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method in water and characterized via various techniques. The porous SnO2 NPs, in addition to their role in the selective conversion of KP into a highly fluorescent species, also act as an effective sorbent for the selective degradation and elimination of polar organics, inorganic matrices and heavy metals in complex samples. The optimized analytical method exhibited satisfactory linearity for ketoprofen in the concentration range of 0.2â??1.5 mg kg_1 with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.997. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) in human serum, urine and canal water samples were 0.1 mg kg_1, 0.5 mg kg_1 and 0.39 mg kg_1 and 1.3 mg kg_1, 0.3 mg kg_1 and 1.7 mg kg_1, respectively. The method also showed good intra-day and inter-day precisions at the two concentration levels of 0.5 mg kg_1 and 1.3 mg kg_1 in complex samples with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 16.3% (n=5) and satisfactory recoveries were retrieved in the range of 85.1â??101.4% with minimum or no matrix effect.
