Abstract
A quantitative method is described for solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous analysis of carbamazepine and its five metabolites, 10,11-dihydro-10,11-epoxycarbamazepine, 10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxycarbamazepine, 2-hydroxycarbamazepine, 3-hydroxycarbamazepine, and 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine. An SPE procedure was used to concentrate target compounds from aqueous samples collected from sewage treatment plant (STP) wastewater and surface water. Extracts were analyzed using electrospray LC-MS/MS with time-scheduled selected reaction monitoring. The recoveries of the analytes were 83.6-102.2% from untreated sewage (influent), 90.6-103.5% from treated sewage (effluent), and 95.7-102.9% from surface water samples. The instrumental detection limits were 0.8-4.8 pg for the analytes. Matrix effects were investigated for the analytes in HPLC-grade water, surface water, and STP influent and effluent. Ion suppression increased for analytes in order of surface water to STP effluent to STP influent, but no ion suppression was observed for analytes in HPLC-grade water. The developed method was validated by analysis of environmental aqueous samples: STP influent and effluent and surface water. Carbamazepine and all five metabolites were detected in STP influent and effluent samples. Only carbamazepine and 10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxycarbamazepine were detected in the surface water sample. Notably, 10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxycarbamazepine was detected at approximately 3 times higher concentrations than the parent drug, carbamazepine, in all of the aqueous samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the simultaneous determination of carbamazepine and its metabolites in environmental samples.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
