| Abstract | This paper describes the preconcentration of three neutral steroids (testosterone, progesterone, and testosterone propionate) through a combination of off-line preconcentration using a gold nanoparticle (Au NP)-coated silica gel solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbent prior to on-line preconcentration using sweeping micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). In the initial phase of this study, the sweeping-MEKC parameters for the capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation of the steroid analytes were optimized. The sweeping-MEKC effect was greatest when the sample matrix contained ca. 18% acetonitrile and 100mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.0). Next, under the optimized sweeping-MEKC operating conditions, a commercial C(18)-bonded silica gel and a Au NP-coated silica gel were tested for their use as SPE sorbents for the SPE-sweeping-MEKC preconcentration of steroid-spiked urine samples. Of these two sorbents, the Au NP-coated SPE sorbent displayed a superior clean-up efficiency toward the sample matrix. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was used to characterize the interactions between urinary proteins and the Au NPs. The results indicated that the removal of the interfering signals from the urinary proteins was probably due to their interactions with residual Au metal surfaces of the Au NP-coated SPE sorbent. When combining Au NP-coated silica gel SPE with sweeping-MEKC for the CE analysis of steroid-spiked urine samples, the limits of detection (at a signal-to-noise ratio of N=3) for testosterone, progesterone, and testosterone propionate were ca. 1.59, 1.20, and 1.15mug/L, respectively; in addition, the detection sensitivities (based on peak heights) of these steroids improved by ca. 700-, 1090-, and 1100-fold, respectively, relative to those of the analytes that had not been subjected to preconcentration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
