Carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide (EPOX), acridone (ACRO), acridine (ACRI),
oxcarbazepine (OX) and
Carbamazepine-d10 (CBZ-d10) analytical standards (purity grade ≥ 98%) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).
Iminostilbene, 9-acridinecarboxylic acid, 9-acridine-carboxaldehyde and 10-11 dihydro
Carbamazepine (all purity ≥ 98%) identified by suspect screening analysis and acquired for confirmatory purposes were also purchased from Sigma Aldrich. LC-MS grade acetonitrile (MeCN), methanol (MeOH), water,
formic acid and
acetic acid were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. For QuEChERS, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), sodium acetate (NaOAc), octadecyl silica (C18) and
primary-secondary amine (PSA)were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Hydromatrix was provided by Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, USA).
Stock standard solutions were prepared in MeOH at a concentration of 1000 mg L -1 . A mixed working solution containing all standards was prepared at 10 mg L -1 in MeOH by proper dilution of each stock standard solution. All solutions were prepared in amber glass vials and stored at -20 °C. CBZ-d10 was used as extraction quality control check.
