Stir-bar sorptive extraction: A view on method optimisation, novel applications, limitations and potential solutions.

TL;DR: A view on method optimisation, limitations, potential solutions such as in-house coatings and derivatisation and novel applications in multi-residue analysis and passive sampling are revised.

LC-MS/MS in the Clinical Laboratory – Where to From Here?

TL;DR: While sample throughput is higher than for conventional HPLC or GC-MS, it lags behind automated immunoassays, and measures to improve specificity and sensitivity include sample clean-up and optimising chromatography to avoid interferences and ion suppression due to sample-matrix components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of Matrix Effects in Liquid Chromatography–Electrospray Ionization–Mass Spectrometry by Dilution of the Sample Extracts: How Much Dilution is Needed?

TL;DR: It could be shown that a dilution of extracts by a factor of 25-40 reduces ion suppression to less than 20% if the initial suppression is ≤80%, and for stronger matrix effects or complete elimination of suppression, higher dilution factors were needed.

Strategies for the assessment of matrix effect in quantitative bioanalytical methods based on HPLC-MS/MS.

TL;DR: Practical, experimental approaches for studying, identifying, and eliminating the effect of matrix on the results of quantitative analyses by HPLC-MS/MS are described and it is demonstrated that, for the investigational drug under study, the matrix effect was clearly observed when ISP interface was utilized but it was absent when the HN interface was employed.

Mechanistic investigation of ionization suppression in electrospray ionization.

TL;DR: Results point to changes in the droplet solution properties caused by the presence of nonvolatile solutes as the main cause of ionization suppression in electrospray ionization of biological extracts.

The effects of sample preparation methods on the variability of the electrospray ionization response for model drug compounds.

TL;DR: A post-column infusion system was developed in order to analyze suppression of electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry response in the presence of endogenous plasma interferences and demonstrated that ESI response suppression is compound dependent.
