Simple and Fast Quantitation of Nicotinic Acid and Nicotinamide in Human Plasma by Applying Impact Protein Precipitation Plate Technology with Gemini 3 µm C18 HPLC Columns
Shuguang Li and Erica Pike, Phenomenex
Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide were extracted from human plasma by performing a rapid protein precipitation followed by HPLC analysis, which produced excellent chromatographic resolutions, sensitivity, and high peak capacities at an LOD of 2 ng/mL. Read More
Analyzing Testosterone in Human Serum by UHPLC Using High Efficiency Kinetex® 1.7 µm C18 Core-Shell Columns
Seyed Sadjadi and Jeff Layne, Phenomenex
Testosterone is extracted from human serum using a strong anion-exchange polymeric SPE sorbent, followed by a rapid LC–MS-MS analysis using a high efficiency UHPLC column. Read More
Rapid LC–MS-MS Analysis of Digoxin and Digitoxin in Plasma Using Strata™-X SPE Cartridges and Kinetex 2.6 µm C8 Core-Shell HPLC/UHPLC Columns
Matthew Trass, Jeff Layne, and Phil Koerner, Phenomenex
Digoxin and digitoxin are effectively extracted and concentrated from plasma using a polymeric solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbent and are further analyzed by a rapid LC–MS-MS analysis over a concentration range of 0.25 to 10 ng/mL. Read More
Rapid Improvements for LC–MS-MS Analysis Without Additional Method Development Using Phree™ Phospholipid Removal Plates
Dr. Stuart Kushon and Erica Pike, Phenomenex
Protein precipitation is compared to a phospholipid removal product, Phree Phospholipid Removal Plates, to assess the cleanup capabilities of each technique. By measuring for total phospholipids using the 184->184 mass transition, LC–MS MS analysis indicates that Phree Phospholipid Removal Plates result in significantly cleaner samples, reduced ion suppression, and extended HPLC/UHPLC column lifetime.
