Quantitative
Determination of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 in Human Serum by LC_IS_IS Assay Revalidation Report
1.
INTRODUCTION
Northwest Bioanalytical (NWB) was contracted by 3M Environmental Technolog7 and Services to develop and validate a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for the measurement ofperfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (PFOSAA), perfluorooctanoate (POAA), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (M556) and N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate {M570) in human serum.
The reference material purity for PFOS, PFOSA, PFHS and POAA was not available prior to the conduct of this study. Therefore, all concentrations included in the report for these analytes are based upon an assumed purity of 100%.
After the validation was completed, 3M contracted with Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania to determine the absolute concentration of PFOS,
POAA and PFHS in the stock solutions used to prepare the analytical standards and
controls used for this validation and subsequent analyses. Based on the results obtained,
the concentrations included in this report should be corrected according to .the following

Principles of the Method
The newly developed method is a modification of a previous method developed under study N'W'BS98-082 and reported in NWB report NW'BR99-005 [5.1]. The new method was developed to provide improved accuracy, precision and ruggedness using less sample volume, and to add M556 and M570 to the method.

Study No. N'WBS00-040 Report No. NWBR00-108
The analytical method consisted of a liquid:liquid extraction procedure followed by evaporation and reconstitution of the extract residue with 30:70 20 mM ammonium acetate in water: 20 mM ammonium acetate in methanol (v/v). The samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry using a PE Sciex A.PI 3000. The instrument was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode under optimized conditions for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 detection.
2. VALIDATION SUMMARY
Three separate analytical runs were used in the determination of linearity, precision, and accuracy. An additional run was used to determine intra-assay precision and accuracy for PFOSA and PFOSA.A. The extraction efficiencies for all analytes aridthe internal standard 1H, 1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (THPFOS) ,,,,'erealso determined.
2.1. Persistent Levels of Analytes in Matrix
Because PFOS, PFOSAA., POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 demonstrate measurable levels in control hum;/.h"serum,a procedure to account for these persistent levels is needed for this method validation.
The sponsor provided NWB with blank matrix (Northern. Chinese human plasma).
This matrix was tested and demonstrated no quantifiable concentrations for any of the analytes. In order to determinethe persistent levels of these analytes in the lot of human serum used for the validation, a pa.rtial calibration curve was prepped with th.e blank Northern Chinese human plasma and extracted along with blank human serum samples. The human serum samples were quantitated against the Northern Chinese human plasma calibration curve to determine the persistent levels of the analytes in the lot of human serum being tested.
Once the persistent level of each analyte was determined, the target concentrations for each calibration standard and quality control sample were adjusted to account for the persistent amount of analyte. For example, if the target concentration at the lower
Page I0
Northwest Bioanalytical
Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBR00-108
limit of quantitation was 1.00 ng/mL and the persistent level of the analyte in human serum was 2.00 ng'mL, the target concentration of the LLOQ was adjusted to 3.00 ng/mL. Appendix B outlines the procedure used to calculate persistent levels of analytes in diluted human serum samples.
This procedure to account for persistent levels of the analytes in matrix must be performed whenever a new lot of human serum is used during the course of a study.
2.2. Range of Quantitation
Each analytical run included calibration standards in duplicate at nine different concentrations (eight for M556), a minimum of six quality control samples (QCs) (three levels in replicates of two), two serum blanks and two 0-ng/mL QCs (serum blank with internal standard).
The target calibrator concentrations were approximately 1.00,2.50, I0.0, 25.0, 50.0, I00, 250, 400 and 500 ng/mL for all analytes. Each analyte has a different final curve range based upon the persistent levels of the analyte in the human serum used. For the validation study, the calibrator concentrations were as follows:

2.3.1. Precision and Accuracy for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 Quality Controls
The precision and accuracy of the LCEvIS/MS method for the quantitation of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 in human serum were determined by analyzing three levels of quality controls in replicates of five on three separate days.
The intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOS, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 were less than or equal to 9.5% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accurac(y%Theoreticaflo)ralllevelosfundiluteqdualitcyontrols rangedfrom 84.8%to111.2%(Tables15and 18- 2 i).The intra-assay precisio(n%CV) forPFOSA andPFOSAA werelessthanorequalto19.8% foreachundiluteQdC concentratioTnh.e mean accurac(y%Theoreticaflo)r alllevelosfundiluteQdCs rangedfrom68.7% to91.7% (Tables16- 17).

2.3.2.
The slightly high negative bias for the calculated concentrations of the PFOSA and PFOSAA QC samples was a result of the QC preparation procedure. A stock solution containing all the analytes was prepared and evaporated to dryness in order to obtain a concentration high enough for the QC concentration range. This methodology is commonly used when stock solution concentrations are too dilute to obtain the targeted concentration or to reduce the organic content of spiked serum samples. For this preparation, evaporation was required to obtain appropriate concentrations. However, because of the high volatility of PFOSA and PFOSAA, approximately 25% of these analytes evaporated from the solution. The quality control samples from this preparation were biased approximately 25% lower ('Tables 23 - 25) than those prepared from a solution that was not evaporated (Tables A. 1. - A.2.).
..
Precision and Accuracy for PFOSA and PFOSAA Specific Quality Controls
Because of the bias demonstrated for PFOSA and PFOSAA. calculated concentrations from the ori_nal QCs prepared as described in section 2.3.1, a new set of QCs containingtSialy PFOSA and PFOSAA were prepared using concentrated solutions that did not require evaporation.
For the PFOSA and PFOSA specific QCs, the intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA was less than or equal to 23.8% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 72.9% to 107.7% (Tables 29- 30).
The PFOSA.A LLOQ calibratisotnandardfsortheintra-assRauyn 17 demonstrated unacceptable accuracies resulting in both replicates being rejected and a raised LLOQ of 7.50ng/mL for the run. The low QCs for PFOSA.A also demonstrated variability greater than 20%. This resulted in a negative bias (72.9% of theoretical) for the low PFOSAA QCs. The mid-level and high-level QCs demonstrated acceptable precision and accuracy. Because this bias only appears at the Low QC level and is a result of within-run
Page 14
NorthwesBt ioanalytical
StudyNo.NWBS00-040 ReportNo.NWBR00-108
variability, study sample analysis acceptance criteria will be maintained at 20% precision and accuracy for QCs.
For the PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs containing PFOSA or PFOSAA concentrations above the ULOQ, the intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA was 19.8% and 20.9%, respectively. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for diluted PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs were 78.3% and 78.0%, respectively (Tables 38 - 39). The deviation of the calculated concentrations _'om theoretical concentrations for these QCs diluted with control matrix were both greaterthan 20%. This indicates that samples with experimentally calculated PFOSA or PFOSAA concentrations above the ULOQ should not be diluted with control matrix. However, the levels of PFOSA and PFOSAA in study samples are expected to be within the range of the calibration curve.
The inter-assay precision and accuracy oft_he PFOSA and PFOSAA specific
QCs was demonstrated with the analytical QC performance during sample
"
analysis study NWBS00-062 (medical surveillance). The results can be fotmff'"
in Appendix A, Tables A.1. and A.2. These tables only contain analyses for _'_| reported PFOSA and PFOSA.A sample data, and do not include runs that did t
not meet the acceptance criteria for PFOSA or PFOSA.A.
....._ji
For the PFOSA and PFOSA specific QCs, the i.nter-assayprecision (%CV)

was less than or equal to 11.4% for each undiluted QC concenffafion. The
mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of tmdiluted QCs rkngeclTrom
98.5% to 107.7%.
2.4. Extraction Efficiency
The extraction efficiencies ofPFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POA.A, PFHS, M556 and M570 were determined using Northern Chinese human plasma by comparing the area ratios obtained for the following three cases:
Page 15
NorthwestBioanalyticai
Study No. NWBS00-040 ReportNo. NWBR00-108
1. Both the analyte and intemal standard added following the extraction (postextract).
2. The analyte added to plasma prior to extraction and the internal standard added following extraction (pre-extract analyte).
3. The internal standard added to plasma prior to extraction and the analyte added following the extraction (pre-extract internal standard).
The extraction efficiencies were then determined by the area ratio of the pre-extract samples to the post-extract samples. The extraction efficiency experiments were performed at both low, medium and high concentrations to determine that there was no concentration bias. The mean extraction efficiencies were: PFOS (42.1%), PFOSA (65.3%), PFOSAA (73.4%), POAA (18.0%), PFHS (19.7%), M556 (43.9%), M570 (66.9%). The overall mean extraction efficiency for the internal standard THPFOS was 7.86% (Tables 40 - 46).
The recovery for many of the analytes and for the internal standard are very low. This low recovery is a result of the following factors: a neutral pH was required to minimize any matrix effects that were observed from the previous extraction method which used a basic pH and, the wide range of polarities for the analytes prevented the use of acidic pH during the extraction and prevented the use of an effective SPE extraction for all of the analytes. While the recovery is low, the intra and inter-assay precision and accuracy values demonstrated good reproducibility. The low recovery should not affect the assay performance.
The Chinese plasma containing very low persistent levels of most anal,yt.es was Used to estimate the extraction recovery of the analytes from matrix. This p.lasma:was used.- to provide the most accurate results possible at the lower concentrations. The recovery from general population control serum will be evaluated and reported in an addendum report.

DATA MANAGEMENT
PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556, M570 chromatographic peaks are integrated using PE Sciex MacQuan soft'ware (version 1.6) with a smooth factor of I. Quantitation is based upon quadratic regression analysis of calibration curves (weighted l/x 2) using the area ratio vs. concentration calculated by the Watson DMLIMS sofb,vare (version 6. I. 1.04).

COMMENTS .-MNDCONCLUSIi)NS
Per agreement with the Sponsor, the regressions were not recalculated based upon the updated purity information for PFOS, POAA and PFHS. Some differences might occur dualothe effect of rounding if the regressions were performed with the purity corrected concentrations, but these differences would have a negliNble effect on the overall interpretation of the validation results.
Only THPFOS was used as an internal standard because of concerns over the specificity
of one of the original internal standards, N-Et-FOSE-OH, which gave an acetate ion as a
product.

The volatility of PFOSA and PFOSAA. is an important aspect to be cautious of during the
evaporation step of the assay. Art evaporation step was used for the initial preparation of
QC samples to obtain an adequate concentration of the analytes. This set demonstrated
acceptable precision, but slightly high negative bias for PFOSA and PFOSA.A. A
separate set of QCs containing only PFOSA and PFOSAA were prepared without using
an evaporation step. The second set (PFOSA and PFOSA.A specific QCs) demonstrated
Page 17
NorthweBsitoanalytical
StudyNo.NV/BS00-040 ReporNto.NWBR00-108
both acceptable precision and accuracy. As a result, two sets of intra-assay and interassay precision and accuracy are shown in the report.
The method described in this report has been validated for the determination of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSA.A, POAA., PFHS, M556 and M570 in human serum. However, study samples with experimentally calculated PFOSA or PFOSA.A concentrations above the ULOQ should not be diluted with control matrix. Any known circumstances that may have affected the quality or integrity of the data are discussed in this report.
4.1. Proposed Sample Analysis Acceptance Criteria Calibration Curve
Each run will include in duplicate calibration standards at six or more concentrations covering the lower to upper limit ofquantitation. For all analytes except PFOSA, at least three-fourths of tSe calibration standard's back-calculated concentrations must be within -4-15% (+ 20% for LLOQ) of their individual target concentrations. For PFOSA, at least three-fourths of the calibration standard's back-calculated concentrations must be within + 20% (+ 25% for LLOQ) of their individual target concentrations. A calibration standard will be considered a statistical outlier if the back-calculated concentration is greater than two times the acceptance criteria for that standard.
Lower Limit of Quantitation .:_..
The back-calculated concentrations of at least one of the duplicate lowest 15oints in the calibration curve must be within _+25% of the target concentration for PFOSA to qualify as the LLOQ and within + 20% of the target concentration to qualify as the LLOQ for all other analytes. If this criterion is not met, the next level is subjected to the same test and the LLOQ raised accordingly.
Page 18
NorthweBsitoanalytical Quality Control Samples
StudNyo.NWBS00-040 ReporNto.NWBR00-108
Each analHical run will include low, medium and high QC samples in duplicate. The measured concentrations of at least two-thirds of all analytical QCs must be within + 20% of their target concentrations (+ 25% for PFOSA), and no two QCs at the same concentration can be outside the limit. If study samples require dilution, a dilution QC will be analyzed in triplicate for each dilution level (except for PFOSA and PFOSAA which should not be diluted with control matrix). At least two dilution QC at each level must be within + 20% o fits target concentrations in order to accept diluted study samples at that level. The dilution QC acceptance is independent of the undiluted analytical QC acceptance.

ANALYTICAL METHOD
Principles of the Method
The analytical method consisted of a liquid:liquid extraction procedure followed by evaporation and reconstitution of the extract residue with 30:70 (v/v) 20 mM ammonium acetate in water: 20 mM ammonium acetate in methanol. The samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry using a PE Sciex API 3000. The insti'ument was operated.in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode under optimized conditions for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and MS70 detection.

The reference material purity for PFOS, PFOSA, PFHS and POAA was not available prior to the conduct of this study. Therefore, all concentrations included in the report for these analytes are based upon an assumed purity of 100%.
Prior to the completion of this final report, 3M contracted with Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania to determine the absolute concentration of PFOS, POAA and PFHS in the stock standard solution prepared using seven reference materials (PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSA.A, POAA, PFHS, M556 and
Page 69 ...

StudyNo. N'WBS00-040 ReportNo. NWBR00-I08
M570) at a target concentration of 5000 ppb. Absolute determination of the concentration of FFOSA in the stock standard solutions cannot be made until a full purity determination of these reference materials is completed.
Based on the results obtained, the concentrations included in this report should be corrected according to the following table:

7.3. Reagents, Calibration Standard and Quality Control (QC) Solutions
The calibrator, quality control and stock solution preparations listed below serve as a
general guideline for attaining the targeted concentrations. Due to the fact that PFHS
was received at N%VBas a solution, both the calibration standard and quality control
stocks are from the same solution and are not from separate weighings of reference
material as per NWB SOP LABOP003. However, separate aliquots were used for
calibration standard and QC stock solution preparation.
Z?_ ,
" ,* ,
Reagents
All reagent solutions are stored at room temperature unless otherwise noted.
50 mM ammonium acetate in water (unadjusted: pH-6.9) Fill a I-L volumetric flask approximately half full with water. Weigh out 3.85 g of ammonium acetate and transfer to the flask. Use a stir plate to mix and fill to volume with water.
20 mM ammonium acetate in water (unadjusted: pH-6. 9) Fill a 1-L volumetric flask approximately half full with water. Weigh out 1.54 g of ammonium acetate and transfer to the flask. Use a stir plate to mix and fill to volume with water.

7.10. Quantitation
PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556, M570 and THPFOS chromatographic peaks are integrated using PE Sciex MacQuan software (version 1.6) with a smooth factor of 1. Several of the analytes possess iosmers. The chromatographic conditions of this method can achieve baseline separation of these isomers. Because the goal of this method is to determine the total amount for each analyte, all isomer peaks are integrated together and the peak areas are treated as a single peak by MacQuan. Quantitation is based upon quadratic regression analysis of calibration curves (weighted 1/x2) using the area ratio vs. concentration by the Watson DMLIMS software (version 6. I. 1.04)

APPENDIX B Calculation of Persistent Levels of Analvtes in Diluted Human Serum Samples Because there are persistent levels of the analytes in human serum, diluted samples must account for the amount of analyte added from the sample and the amount of analyte added from the human serum matrix. The following section describes equations used to correct for the amount of analyte added from the human serum matrix used io dilute samples.
The total volume (VT) of a diluted sample is defined as the volume aliquoted from the original sample (Vs) plus the volume of matrix 0/M) added. The dilution factor (DF) is defined as the total volume divided by the volume aliquoted from the original sample.
VT= Vs + VM DF = VT / Vs
Example VT = 0.1 mL sample + 0.4 mL control matrix
VT = 0.5 The amount of analyte A in a diluted sample is equal to the volume aliquoted from the original sample times the concentration of analyte in the sample (Cs) plus the volume of control matrix added times the concentration of analyte in the control matrix (CM). The concentration of analyte in the sample (Cs) is determined during sample analyseS. The concentration ofanalyte in the control matrix (CM) is determined experimentally for each lot of control matrix as described in Section 2.1.
Equation 1. Total Amount of analyte = Vs*Cs + VM*C.,,I Example
Total Amount of analyte = [0.l mL sample * I00 ng/mL]+ [0.4 mL control matrix * 10 ng/rnL] Total Amount of analyte = 14 ng

:.:. The equationfortheabove is:
Equation 2.
CA = (Vs/V+)*Cs + (V,,dVT)* C,,,I
Example CA= [(0.1 mL/0.5 mL) * 100 ng/mL] + [(0.4 mL/0.5 mL) * 10 ng/mL]
CA = 28 ng/mL (28 ng/mL = 14 ng total amount calculated above/0.5 mL total volume) Replacing the volume of control matrix VM with Cv'r-Vs) into this equation produces:
Equation 3.
CA= CCs/Vr)*Cs+ (CCrVs)rV'r)*CM or
CA = (VS/YT)*Cs + (1-VsfVT)*CM Example
C., = [(0.i mL/0.5 mL)*100 ng/mL] + [(1-(0.l mL/0.5 mL))*10 ng/mL] CA = 20 ng/rnL+ 8 ng/mL
Cx = 28 ng/mL
Inserting 1/DF for the term VS/VT yields the final equation for CA:

Equation 4.
CA = (I/DF)*Cs + (I-I/DI_*C._t Example
CA = [(I15)* IO0 ng/mL]+ [(I-(IlS))* I0 ng/mL] CA = 28 ng/rnL
The concentration determined by the Watson LIMS system (Cw) for any sample is:

Cw = DF * CA

Cw = 140 ng/mL
(This is the concentration ofanalyte after adjusting for the actual dilution.)
Substituting the final equation for CA (Equation
.*.
Equation 6.
4.) into the equation
for Cw gives:
Cw -- DF *[(1/DF)*Cs + (1-1/D10*CM]
Example
Cw = 5 * [((1/5) *100 n_mL) + (((1-(i/5)) * 10 ng/mL)]
Cw = 5" [20 ng/mL + 8 ng/mL]
Cw = 140 ng/mL
Solving this last equation for Cs produces the equation for correction which is used to adjust theoretical calibration and QC concentrations.
