Abstract
Monolithic columns have been used in recent years for fast chromatographic separation due to their high permeability and low backpressure. We have explored the potential of monolithic material as sample preparation tool in bioanalytical applications. By taking advantage of monolithic columns' online concentration capability, we have developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for quantitative determination of a pharmaceutical compound in human plasma. The assay was fully validated to satisfy the requirements of precision and accuracy, selectivity, matrix effect, and reproducibility. A linear dynamic range from 0.011 ng/mL to 12.3 ng/mL was established as the calibration standard. The percentage of bias for quality control samples was between -9.9% and -2.5%. Coefficient of variation, a measurement of precision, was within 9.9%. On-line extraction with monolithic support provided adequate sample cleanup and on-line concentration of the analyte. The assay exhibited good tolerance to matrix effect and has been applied successfully to a clinical study. The incurred sample analysis showed that original and repeat values were within +/-10.1% for all assay samples.
