Abstract
Objective To establish a method for determination of two alcohol biomarkers (ethyl glucuronide, EtG; ethyl sulphate, EtS) in bloodstains via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/eOrbitrap HRMS).Methods The bloodstains were prepared on clean glass slide where to have dropped the venous blood spiked of EtG or EtS, having them extracted with 50% hydrated methanol. The bloodstain-extracted supernatant was separated on a Synicronis C18 column (150mm×2.1mm×5.0μm) with gradient elution that was run through the mobile phases consisting of 0.1% formic acid (phase A) and acetonitrile : methanol (v/v 1:1) (containing 0.1% formic acid ) (phase B). MS tests were coupled with HPLC under HESI (heating electrospray ionization) source operated in negative ionization full-scan mode.Results Both EtG and EtS were linear with their calibration curves among the range of 0.2-100ng/patch ( R2=0.9991, 0.9994), showing good recovery, intra- and inter-day precision less than 15%. The matrix effect was in the range of 85%-120%.Conclusion The method is effective to detect alcohol biomarkers (EtG and EtS) in bloodstains.
