1-Hydroxypyrene

Clinical relevance

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hydrocarbons composed of multiple aromatic rings with potential carcinogenic properties. Physiological monitoring of these substances is therefore essential in occupational health and in particular in industries where workers are potentially exposed to high levels of PAHs, such as in aluminium, iron and steel manufacturing. One of the parent PAHs is pyrene, which undergoes a simple metabolism to 1-hydroxypyrene. 1-Hydroxypyrene and its glucuronide are excreted in urine, making it suitable for monitoring. Pyrene is always present in PAH mixtures and is therefore not only an indicator of pyrene accumulation, but also of an overall exposure to PAHs.

 

Product advantages

  • Complete CE-IVD kit, including internal standard and mobile phase
  • Effective hydrolysis in only 2 hours – with integrated colour indicator for pH adjustment
  • Analysis time of less than 7 minutes
  • Equilibrated, tested and ready to use HPLC column
  • Simple isocratic HPLC system sufficient

 

This Chromsystems assay enables the reliable determination of 1‑hydroxypyrene from urine using an isocratic HPLC run within 7 minutes. The sample preparation is fast and simple and requires only two steps: 1-hydroxypyrene is de-conjugated by an efficient and fast enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by solid phase extraction using Sample Clean Up Columns. The correct pH required for precise analysis is visually verified by a colour changing indicator. The inclusion of an internal standard ensures reproducible and reliable quantitative results. 1-Hydroxypyrene is measured using optimised chromatographic separation with highly sensitive fluorescence detection, ensuring elimination of most potential interferences. The human-matrix based calibration standard and controls ensure precision and accuracy of results.

Sample Preparation

ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS

  1. Mix (vortex for 2 s) 1 ml urine (sample/control/calibrator) with 50 µl internal standard and 200 µl of the prepared enzyme solution in a reaction vial
