Matrix-effect free quantitative liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis in complex matrices using nanoflow LC with integrated emitter tip and high dilution factors.
Journal of Chromatography. A 2017 October 14
Matrix effects are probably the Achilles heel of most quantitative liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods based on electrospray ionization. This work reports the evaluation of matrix effects in challenging matrices such as food extracts, human urine or wastewater at different dilution factors using nanoflow liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS). For this purpose, a suite of representative low-molecular weight compounds such as pesticides, drugs of abuse, sport drugs or environmental contaminants were selected. The approach is based on the use of reversed-phase C18 nano columns furnished with an integrated emitter tip. The nanoflow LC system was combined with full-scan high resolution mass spectrometry using a HRMS (orbitrap) instrument operated at a resolution of 70000. The sensitivity achieved with this configuration enables the implementation of high dilution factors (e.g. 1:20, 1:50 or beyond). When combining nanoflow LC-MS analysis with such high dilution factors (e.g. 1:50), signal suppression was negligible in most cases, so that matrix-matched standards may eventually be skipped, simplifying laboratory workflows by using external calibration in demanding applications such as drug analysis in urine, environmental contaminants in wastewater or pesticide testing in food, thus, eliminating the need for standard addition, matrix-matched calibration or isotopically-labelled standards.
