Facile synthesis of magnetic one-dimensional polyaniline and its application in magnetic solid phase extraction for fluoroquinolones in honey samples

Abstract

In this work, we proposed a simple co-mixing method to fabricate magnetic one-dimensional polyaniline (denoted as 1D-PANIs/MNPs). One-dimensional polyanilines (1D-PANIs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared by chemical oxidation and solvothermal methods, respectively. When MNPs and 1D-PANIs (with mass ratio 4:1) were co-mixed and vortexed evenly in a solvent (e.g., ethanol, water, acetonitrile), they could assemble into 1D-PANIs/MNPs spontaneously and thus be magnetically separable. To testify the feasibility of 1D-PANIs/MNPs in sample preparation, it was applied as the sorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in honey samples. Under optimized conditions, a rapid, convenient, and efficient method for the determination of four FQs in honey samples by 1D-PANIs/MNPs-based MSPE coupling with high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) was established. The limits of detection (LODs) for four FQs ranged from 0.4 to 1.4 ng g(-1). The intra- and interday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 17.6%. The recoveries of FQs for three spiked honey samples ranged from 86.3 to 121.3%, with RSDs of less than 16.3%.
