Optimization of analytical methods for the determination of contaminants in the environmental, pharmaceutical and food fields using hyphenated techniques Line of research Development and optimization of reliable analytical procedures, fast and sensitive and fully validated for the separation, characterization and determination of organic compounds in complex matrices (pharmaceutical,environmental and food). After a proper sample preparation, based on analyte extraction and purification from the matrix, the analysis by classic chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques (HPLC-UV and CE-UV )or together with mass spectrometry allows us to achieve the fixed objectives. research program.pdf Staff Supervisor: Francesca BuiarelliDepartment staff: Elisa Sonego Publications A rapid method for the determination of levoglucosan in NIST standard reference material 1649a by HPLC-MS/MSExtraction, Purification, and Determination by HPLC of Quercetin in Some Italian WinesMethod optimisation for the simultaneous determination of legacy and emerging halogenated flame retardants in particulate matter collected in an electronic waste recycling facility Extraction and analysis of fungal spore biomarkers in atmospheric bioaerosol by HPLC-MS-MS and GC-MSBiomonitoring data for assessing aflatoxins and ochratoxin a exposure by italian feedstuffs workersValidation study on avermectine residues in foodstuffs Collaborations National collaborations: Riccardi Carmela (INAIL)Pomata Donatella (INAIL)Di Filippo Patrizia (INAIL)Neri Bruno (Istituto Zooprofilattico e Sperimentale del Lazio e Toscana)Giannetti Luigi (Istituto Zooprofilattico e Sperimentale del Lazio e Toscana) Fundings and awards Fundings: Analisi multiparametriche per la stima della componente biogenica delle particelle aereodisperse in atmosfera - Progetti Ateneo 2011Inquinanti organici persistenti in campioni di materiale particolato indoor\outdoor a diversa granulometria: analisi mediante diverse tecniche e loro confronto - Progetti Ateneo 2016 Theme and ERC Theme: Life-Sciences chemistryERC: PE4_5 Analytical chemistryPE4_9 Method development in chemistryPE4_18 Environment chemistry Traineeship offer Area di ricerca: Analytical chemistryAvailability: one positionCourse of study (advised): ChemistryIndustrial chemistryNotes: External CdL: Genomic, industrial and environmental biotechnologies max 2 exams left
