Evaluation of a GC-MS method using N-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) as the silylating agent for GC-MS. Study of the stability of creatine and guanidinoacetate in urine.
22 urines were kept at RT, 4 degrees C and -30 degrees C for 15 days.
MTBSTFA produces a single chromatographic peak in contrast with other derivatizing agents. Creatine concentration increases at room temperature (326% on average), and at 4 degrees C (75%). However, detection decreases after freezing (-37%). Guanidinoacetate is stable, but decreases after freezing (-37%). Sonication before analysis is crucial to obtain repetitive results.
A modified GC-MS method has been validated and the conditions for preservation of the urine have been established.
评估一种使用N-叔丁基二甲基硅烷基-N-甲基三氟乙酰胺(MTBSTFA)作为气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)硅烷化试剂的方法。研究尿液中肌酸和胍基乙酸的稳定性。
将22份尿液分别在室温、4℃和-30℃下保存15天。
与其他衍生化试剂相比,MTBSTFA产生单一色谱峰。肌酸浓度在室温下平均增加326%,在4℃下增加75%。然而,冷冻后检测值下降(-37%)。胍基乙酸稳定,但冷冻后下降(-37%)。分析前超声处理对于获得重复性结果至关重要。
一种改良的GC-MS方法已得到验证,并确定了尿液保存条件。
