Jp. Allanson et al., THE USE OF AUTOMATED SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION IN THE 96-WELL FORMAT FORHIGH-THROUGHPUT BIOANALYSIS USING LIPID CHROMATOGRAPHY COUPLED TO TANDEM MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Rapid communications in mass spectrometry, 10(7), 1996, pp. 811-816
A high throughput mass spectrometry based method is described for the
determination of the 5-HT receptor agonist 311C90, and its desmethyl m
etabolite, in human plasma, Samples were extracted using the MicroLute
(TM) system of solid phase extraction in the '96 well' format, automat
ed by means of a robotic sample processor The extracts were analysed b
y liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with therm
ally assisted electrospray ionization (TurboIonSpray) and selected-rea
ction monitoring, The LC/MS/MS method offers increased sensitivity, se
lectivity and speed of analysis over an existing high performance liqu
id chromotographic method using fluorescence detection.
