Summary
An ion-pair HPLC method is presented for the determination in plasma of 2,4- and 2,6-toluendiamine (TDA), known carcinogens. The chromatographic conditions consisted in isocratic elution on a reversed phase C18 column with 5 mM octanesulfonic acid in methanol-water, 45∶55, as mobile phase. UV detection was performed at 235 nm. Samples were analyzed after a simple single step liquid-liquid extraction and the method was validated by measurement of precision (interassay and intraassay), sensitivity, specificity, linearity, and recovery. The detection limit for both TDAs in plasma was 20 ng mL−1. The correlation coefficients based on the intrassay calibration curve were 0.998 and 0.997 for 2,6- and 2,4-TDA, respectively. The intraassay accuracy, expressed in terms of recovery, was found to be up to 89.91% and 97.05% for 2,6- and 2,4-TDA, respectively.
