Abstract
Supported liquid membrane (SLM) has been used as a sample preparation method in the simultaneous extraction of a mixture of three stilbene compounds in cow's milk, urine, bovine kidney and liver tissues matrices. The stilbene compounds analysed included, dienestrol, diethylstilbestrol and hexestrol. The liquid membrane used for trapping these compounds consisted of 5% tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) dissolved in di-n-hexylether/n-undecane (1:1). The extraction efficiencies obtained after enrichment of 1 ng/L stilbenes in variety of biological matrices of milk, urine, liver, kidney and water, ranged from 60 - 70%, 71 - 86%, 69 - 80%, 63 - 7A% and 72 - 93% respectively. The detection limits obtained from urine extraction were 2.1 ng/L, 1.3 ng/L and 3.0 ng/L; from liver and kidney tissues were 2.9 ng/L, 1.6 ng/L and 3.8 ng/L and from milk was 3.2 ng/L, 2.5 ng/L and 4.3 ng/L for hexestrol, dienestrol and diethylstilbestrol respectively.
