Herein is a procedure described using a semipermeable membrane (SPM) for enrichment of organic chemicals from lipid-containing samples. Dialysis with SPMs in an organic solvent can separate organochlorine contaminants such as non-, mono-, and di-o-PCBs, PCDDs, PCDFs, PCDTs, PCNs, pesticides, and PAHs from lipids. The method is nondestructive and more than 20 g of lipid can be dialyzed in a single membrane with acceptable recoveries of the internal standards, nearly independent of amount and type of lipid dialyzed. The lipid removal process shows good consistency between subsamples, and the lipid content can be reduced by 90-99%, depending on species and amount lipid. Neither triglycerides nor phospholipids were obtained in the dialysate fraction. The utility and reliability of the method is displayed by good precision for 72 PCBs and 27 organochlorine pesticides in the concentration range 0.05-50 micrograms/sample for triplicate subsamples, by the consistency in PCDD/F levels compared to a classic analytical procedure, and by the analysis of the above listed chemicals in approximately 200 biological samples of a wide variety of types. This technique can also be used as an enrichment device for contaminants when huge amounts of lipids are extracted for toxicological studies. Moreover, it is possible to use SPM to cleanup other samples from molecules with relatively high masses, e.g. sediments, soil, compost, and tar materials.
