Abstract
UNLABELLED Wine is a dietary source of polyphenolic compounds with reported health benefits when moderately consumed. Several of these compounds can associate with metals forming complexes. Therefore, this work was conducted to reach a better understanding of the nature and chemical stability of wine-derived Fe(3+)-quercetin complexes in a digestion model. The stability of the complexes in a synthetic (simulated) wine was studied before and after in vitro gastric and intestinal digestions by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV-Vis detection. Metal determination was performed by atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) to evaluate possible dissociation of complexes. During HPLC analysis all peaks eluted from the chromatographic column were collected, acidified, and analyzed by ETAAS. The results showed that complexes remain substantially stable after gastric digestion conditions, with recoveries of 84% to 90%. Although metal complexes were partially degraded during intestinal digestion, 41% to 45% of the Fe(3+)-quercetin complexes was recovered. PRACTICAL APPLICATION This work reveals the chemical stability of Fe3+–quercetin complexes in synthetic wines after an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The knowledge of this process would be useful to understand the bioavailability of these compounds.

Abstract
The effects of tributyltin (TBT) on mortality and reproduction were studied in the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata. The nominal median lethal concentration (LC50) was 9 µg TBT/L, after 28 d. The nominal no-observed effect on lethality concentration (NOECL) was 6 µg TBT/L after the same period. Male-female couples and females that had been group-mated but were isolated from males during the experiment (isolated females) were exposed (for 28 d) to either 0 µg/L or 6 µg/L of TBT (nominal NOECL-exposed). Copulation and oviposition frequencies, egg clutch mass, and percentage of egg fertility were recorded. Gonads (both sexes) and the seminal receptacle (females) were studied histologically at the end of the experiment. A significant decrease in copulation frequency was observed in mated-exposed females. Exposure also decreased oviposition frequency of mated-exposed and isolated-exposed females, but only the latter reached significance. No differences in either egg clutch mass or percentage of fertility were observed at first oviposition, but both parameters were drastically reduced in subsequent egg clutches of exposed females. No histological alterations were observed in gonads of TBT-exposed animals; however, sperm storage in the seminal receptacle was drastically decreased in exposed females. Imposex but no oviductal obstruction was observed in all exposed females. It is concluded that TBT induces reproductive failure in P. canaliculata by decreasing copulation frequency and by severely affecting sperm storage by the female.

Abstract
An on-line bismuth preconcentration and determination system implemented with hydride generation inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-AES) associated to flow injection (FI) was studied. Quinolin-8-ol and Amberlite XAD-7 were used for the retention of bismuth, at pH 4.5. The bismuth complex was removed from the micro-column with nitric acid. The detection limit value for the preconcentration of 100 ml of aqueous solution was 0.02 ng ml(-1) with a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 3.5%, calculated from the peak heights obtained. The calibration graph using the preconcentration system for bismuth was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 at levels near the detection limits up to at least 100 ng ml(-1). The method was successfully applied to the determination of bismuth in human urine samples.

Abstract
A fast and simple method involving separation and determination of thallium (Tl) species, based on novel ionic liquid-assisted ion pairing dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method, was developed. Initially, Tl(III) was selectively complexed with chloride ion to form [TlCl(4)](-) chlorocomplex. Subsequently, tetradecyl(trihexyl)phosphonium chloride ionic liquid (CYPHOS(®) IL 101) was used to form the ion-pair with [TlCl(4)](-) anion followed by extraction. The DLLME procedure was developed by dispersing 80 μL of carbon tetrachloride with 100 μL of ethanol added to the aqueous solution. After DLLME, the upper aqueous phase containing Tl(I) only was removed and analysed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In contrast to Tl(III), Tl(I) species does not form neither stable nor anionic complexes with chloride ions and it was not extracted into the organic phase. Total Tl concentration was obtained by direct introduction of sample into ICP-MS instrument. The calibration graph for the analyte was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.9989. Under optimal conditions, detection limit of Tl species was 0.4 ng L(-1). The relative standard deviation (n=10) at 1 ng mL(-1) Tl concentration level was 1.3% for Tl(I) and 1.5% for Tl(III). The method was successfully applied for fast speciation analysis of Tl at ultratrace levels in real water samples.

Abstract
A novel method has been developed to determine As-containing animal feed additives including roxarsone (ROX), p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and nitarsone (NIT), as well as other organic As species (dimethylarsonic acid (DMAA) and monomethylarsonic acid (MMAA)) by ion-pairing high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (IP-HPLC-HG-AFS). A simple isocratic reversed-phase (RP) HPLC method with a mobile phase containing citric acid and sodium hexanesulfonate (pH 2.0) was developed using a C(18) column. The use of an organic solvent free mobile phase turns this methodology into an environmentally friendly alternative. Several ion pair forming agents, such as sodium hexanesulfonate, tetrabutylammonium bisulfate and perfluoroheptanoic acid, were studied. The limits of detection for As species were calculated in standard solution and resulted to be 0.2, 0.5, 0.6, 1.6, and 1.6 μg As L(-1) for MMAA, DMAA, p-ASA, ROX and NIT, respectively. This method exhibited convenient operation, high sensitivity and good repeatability. It was applied to As speciation in different samples including arugula, dog food, dog urine and chicken liver.

Abstract
In the present work, an ionic liquid (IL) lighter than water was employed as extraction solvent in a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) methodology. An original flow injection system for online microextraction and preconcentration of cobalt (Co) based on the use of tetradecyl(trihexyl)phosphonium chloride (CYPHOS® IL 101) was designed. Cobalt was complexed with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR) reagent at pH 4.8 and then, the IL-DLLME procedure was developed by dispersing CYPHOS® IL 101 with acetone in an aqueous solution containing Co-PAR complex. Different pyridylazo dyes were evaluated for Co preconcentration in terms of their molecular structure, stability and acid-base equilibrium. Online extraction of Co-PAR into the IL and separation of the dispersed IL enriched phase were accomplished with a microcolumn containing Florisil material. Cobalt was removed from the microcolumn with a 10% (v/v) HNO3 acidified-acetone solution and finally measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The detection limit achieved after preconcentration of 2 mL of sample solution was 8 ng L-1. The precision for 10 replicate determinations at the 1 µg L-1 Co level was 5.1% relative standard deviation (RSD), calculated from the peak heights obtained. The method was successfully applied to Co determination in water samples as well as ophthalmic and parenteral solutions. For the first time, an IL-based microextraction technique was applied for metal determination in these complex samples, where Co recovery varied between 97.9 and 103%.

Abstract
An original flow injection (FI) system was developed for on-line microextraction of Vanadium (V) based on room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). Vanadium was complexed with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) at pH 4.0. A 40 microL-volume of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C(4)mim][PF(6)]) RTIL was mixed with 5 mL of sample solution containing the V-5-Br-PADAP complex. Then, a fully on-line temperature-assisted dispersion procedure was developed, followed by, analyte microextraction; and final on-line separation of the RTIL phase with a florisil-containing microcolumn. Vanadium was removed from the microcolumn with a 10% (v/v) nitric acid (in acetone) solution, and finally measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The detection limit achieved after preconcentration of 5 mL of sample solution, was 4.8 ng L(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 replicate determinations at 5 microg L(-1) of vanadium level was 4.1%, calculated from the obtained peak heights. The calibration graph was linear, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982 at levels from the detection limits up to 15 microg L(-1). The method was successfully applied for the determination of vanadium in environmental and biological samples.

Abstract
A liquid-liquid extraction procedure (L-L) based on room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) was developed for the preconcentration and determination of mercury in different water samples. The analyte was quantitatively extracted with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C(4)mim][PF(6)]) under the form of Hg-2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (Hg-5-Br-PADAP) complex. A volume of 500 microl of 9.0 mol L(-1) hydrochloric acid was used to back-extract the analyte from the RTIL phase into an aqueous media prior to its analysis by flow injection-cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-CV-AAS). A preconcentration factor of 36 was achieved upon preconcentration of 20 mL of sample. The limit of detection (LOD) obtained under the optimal conditions was 2.3ngL(-1) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 replicates at 1 microg L(-1) Hg(2+) was 2.8%, calculated with peaks height. The method was successfully applied to the determination of mercury in river, sea, mineral and tap water samples and a certified reference material (CRM).

Abstract
A sequential on-line preconcentration and separation system for Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species determination was developed in this work. For this purpose, a microcolumn filled with nanostructured alpha-alumina was used for on-line retention of Cr species in a flow-injection system. The method involves the selective elution of Cr(VI) with concentrated ammonia and Cr(III) with 1mol L(-1) nitric acid for sequential injection into an electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer (ETAAS). Analytical parameters including pH, eluent type, flow rates of sample and eluent, interfering effects, etc., were optimized. The preconcentration factors for Cr(VI) and Cr(III) were 41 and 18, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1.9 ng L(-1) for Cr(VI) and 6.1 ng L(-1) for Cr(III). The calibration graph was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 8.6% for Cr(VI) and 6.1% for Cr(III) (c = 10 microg L(-1), n=10, sample volume = 25 mL). Verification of the accuracy was carried out by analysis of a standard reference material (NIST SRM 1643e "Trace elements in natural water") with a reported Cr content of 20.40+/-0.24 microg L(-1). Using the proposed methodology the total Cr content, computed as sum of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), in this SRM was 20.26+/-0.96 microg L(-1). The method was successfully applied to the determination of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species in parenteral solutions. Concentration of Cr(III) species was found to be in the range of 0.29-3.62 microg L(-1), while Cr(VI) species was not detected in the samples under study.

Abstract
There is an increasing appreciation for the importance of speciation in the assessment of metal toxicity. In this review, two approaches to speciation are discussed, with an emphasis on their application to biological samples. One approach is the direct separation and detection of metal species of toxicological interest. Various "hyphenated" techniques, consisting of a chromatographic system coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), are discussed. The chromatographic strategies employed for separation emphasize liquid chromatography (LC), but the increasing use of gas chromatography (GC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) in speciation analysis is discussed. The second approach to speciation is the use of computer models to calculate the speciation of a metal ion within a complex mixture of ligands. This approach is applicable to systems in which the metal cation exchanges ligands rapidly, so that the sample represents an equilibrium mixture of metal complexes. These computational models are based on the equilibrium constants for the metal complexes and a series of mass balance equations and give the distribution of metal complexes in the original sample. This approach is illustrated using the speciation of Al(III) in serum as an example.

Abstract
In this work, the potential of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) to determine organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) is demonstrated. Element specific detection of (31)P with ICP-MS is performed for the detection of OPPs. Three common OPPs, including glyphosate, glufosinate, and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), were analyzed by CE-ICP-MS to demonstrate its applicability for the analysis of OPPs. The advantages of using ICP-MS with respect to other common detectors, such as flame photometric detection (FPD), for CE analysis of OPPs are shown. Additionally, different CE separation conditions were studied to achieve complete baseline separation of the pesticide compounds in short migration times. Two CE buffer systems were evaluated for the separation of OPPs using ICP-MS detection. A buffer solution containing 40 mmol.L(-1) ammonium acetate at pH 9.0 and an applied voltage of +20 kV were finally selected leading to a separation time of 10.0 min. Both migration time and area relative standard deviations (%RSD) were evaluated and their respective values were in the intervals of 1.1-3.3% and 2.7-5.3%. Detection limits obtained with the CE-ICP-MS system were in the range of 0.11-0.19 mg.L(-1) (as compound) yielding an enhancement of 130- to 230-fold with respect to FPD. The proposed methodology was finally applied for the determination of the OPPs mentioned above in natural river water samples.

Abstract
A novel hydride generation (HG) interface for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) is presented in this work. The CE-HG-ICPMS interface was applied to the separation and quantitation of common arsenic species. Lack of a commercially available HG interface for CE-ICPMS led to a three concentric tube design allowing alleviation of back pressure commonly observed in CE-HG-ICPMS. Due to the high sensitivity and element-specific detection of ICPMS, quantitative analysis of As(III), As(V), monomethylarsonic acid, and dimethylarsinic acid was achieved. Optimization of CE separation conditions resulted in the use of 20 mmol L(-1) sodium borate with 2% osmotic flow modifier (pH 9.0) and -20 kV applied potential for baseline resolution of each arsenic species in the shortest time. Hydride generation conditions were optimized through multiple electrophoretic separation analyses with 5% HCl and 3% NaBH(4) (in 0.2% NaOH) determined to be the optimum conditions. After completion of system optimization, detection limits obtained for the arsenic species were less than 40 ng L(-1) with electromigration time precision less than 1% within a total analysis time of 9.0 min. Finally, the interface was used for speciation analysis of arsenic in river and tap water samples.
