As we have reported,* 1· 2 we are developing an analytical procedure fordiol epoxide-polyaromatic hydrocarbon (DE-PAH) DNA adducts in which the isolated adducts are subjected to a sequence of three chemical steps prior to detection by gas chromatography-electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (GC-ECNI-MS). The three steps are as follows:(1) acid hydrolysis to release the DE-PAH as a tetrol from the DNA,(2) oxidation of this tetrol with potassium superoxide to a corresponding dicarboxy-PAH, and (3) esterification of the latter compound with pentafluorobenzyl bromide.During the course of progressively applying steps 2 and 3 of the method to lower amounts of an authentic tetrol (namely benzo [a] pyrene-7, 8, 9, 10-tetrahydrotetrol), we encountered severe irreproducibility at the 100-pg level in terms of both losses and interferences. Here we report that this problem was due to microscopic, recalcitrant brown/black specks in the commercial vials employed for this purpose and the presence of PTFE liner/plastic caps. Reproducible results were achieved by employing an all-glass conical reaction vial fabricated in-house.
