Popis: Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in hair is a reliable biomarker of alcohol consumption habits. Due to its small concentration incorporated into hair, analytical methods sensitive enough to reliably quantify EtG in this matrix are required. Sample preparation is critical in hair analysis, especially for EtG, for which extraction efficiency and matrix effect can strongly influence the results; furthermore, miniaturized methods are sought, to reduce solvent use and times of sample preparation. A micro extraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) procedure coupled to a high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for quantitation of EtG in human hair samples. Fifty milligrams of hair samples were cut into snippets and extracted in water. The cleanup of the extract was carried out by using a MEPS syringe packed with anion exchange sorbent (SAX); all parameters for conditioning, washing, loading and eluting steps were optimized and the eluted aqueous volume was directly injected in the LC–MS/MS system operating in the negative ionization mode. The method was fully validated assessing LOD, LOQ, calibration curve, repeatability, accuracy, matrix effect and carryover. The method was subsequently applied to QCs and authentic hair samples. The developed MEPS method is quick and effective, with low solvent purchase and discard costs, allowing the differentiation between social drinkers and chronic excessive alcohol consumers, according to the cut‐offs established by the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT).
