Covalent immobilization of covalent organic framework on stainless steel wire for solid-phase microextraction GC-MS/MS determination of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in grilled meat samples

Covalent organic framework TpBD was grafted on stainless steel wire with polydopamine as a linker. The fabricated TpBD bonded stainless steel wire was used as the solid-phase microextraction fiber to extract sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for subsequent GC-MS/MS determination in grilled meat samples. The developed method gave the limits of detection ( S/N  = 3) from 0.02 (pyrene)-1.66 (naphthalene) ng L −1 and enhancement factors from 1069 (naphthalene)-10879 (benz(a)anthracene). The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for intra-day and inter-day study are in the range of 2.6%–8.5% and 4.5%–9.4%, respectively. The fiber-to-fiber RSDs for three parallel prepared fibers were 5.3%–10.0%. One TpBD bonded fiber can stand at least 200 cycles without significant loss of extraction efficiency. The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of trace PAHs in grilled meat samples with recoveries from 85.1% to 102.8%.
