Abstract
Evaluation of different extraction methods for quantification of endogenous sorbitol and fructose in human red blood cells (RBCs) and matrix effects in ESI and APCI showed that protein-precipitation followed by mixed-mode solid-phase extraction was more effective extraction method and APCI more effective ionization method. Then the LC/APCI-MS/MS method was fully validated and successfully applied to analysis of clinical RBC samples. The concentrations of endogenous sorbitol and fructose were determined using calibration curves employing sorbitiol- 13C 6 and fructose- 13C 6 as surrogate analytes. The method has provided excellent intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy with a linear range of 50.0–10,000 ng/mL (correlation coefficient >0.999) for sorbitol- 13C 6 and 250–50000 ng/mL (correlation coefficient >0.999) for fructose- 13C 6 in human RBCs.
