A new concept for simple and generic automation of dried blood spot (DBS) analysis is evaluated. Flow-through desorption of the blood spot is coupled online to SPE and MS/MS without using a LC column. Blood, spiked with a mixture of test compounds is spotted on paper, dried and then desorbed by means of a prototype clamping device.
Conditions for extraction and chromatography on a single SPE cartridge were optimized with respect to clean-up, separation and ionization suppression. Addition of internal standard using loop-injection upstream of the clamped blood spot was examined and proved to be simple and reliable. Validation results for the 1-1000 ng/ml range are well within acceptance criteria for bioanalysis.
Results demonstrate feasibility of the DBS SPE-MS/MS concept for efficient automation of the entire DBS analysis workflow.
对一种用于干血斑(DBS)分析的简单通用自动化新概念进行了评估。血斑的流通解吸在线连接到固相萃取(SPE)和串联质谱(MS/MS),无需使用液相色谱(LC)柱。将添加了测试化合物混合物的血液点样在滤纸上,干燥后通过原型夹紧装置进行解吸。
针对净化、分离和电离抑制,对单个SPE小柱上的萃取和色谱条件进行了优化。研究了在夹紧血斑上游使用定量环进样添加内标,结果证明其简单可靠。1 - 1000 ng/ml范围内的验证结果完全符合生物分析的验收标准。
结果证明了DBS SPE-MS/MS概念对于整个DBS分析工作流程高效自动化的可行性。
