摘要
Meconium fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are currently used as biomarkers to detect heavy prenatal alcohol exposure. We introduce a novel technique to quantify FAEEs in meconium using heads pace-sol id-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This method improves on previous approaches by decreasing sample preparation time, eliminating the need for organic solvents, and reducing the required sample size. Using 50 mg of meconium, the detection limits of FAEEs ranged from 0.05 to 0.16 nmol/g and had good reproducibility making it ideal for routine analysis of clinical samples. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
