Abstract

The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) is becoming most advanced technique used for analysis of wide range of compounds in analytical chemistry. This technique has been effectively utilized for identifying and quantitatively determining substances in several pharmaceutical analysis fields. The UHPLC technique offers superior sensitivity, selectivity and peak shape in comparison to the conventional HPLC technique. The UHPLC coupled with various mass spectrometers gives accurate mass fragmentations which is ultimately helpful in structural identification and quantitative determination of compounds. The review provides brief introduction on development of UHPLC column packing materials and coupled mass detectors such as single quadrupole, triple quadrupole and time-of-flight mass. This review article also summarizes application of UHPLC-MS/MS technique in various fields of analytical chemistry.
