A technique using a fully automated on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) system (Symbiosis, Spark Holland) combined with liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been investigated for fast bioanalytical method development, method validation and sample analysis using both conventional C18 and monolithic columns. Online SPE LC-MS/MS methods were developed in the automated mode for the quantification of model compounds (propranolol and diclofenac) directly in rat plasma. Accuracy and precision using online SPE LC-MS/MS with conventional C18 and monolithic columns were in the range of 88-111% and 0.5-14%, respectively. Total analysis cycle time of 4 min per sample was demonstrated using the C18 column. Monolithic column allowed for 2 min total cycle time without compromising the quality and validation criteria of the method. Direct plasma sample injection without on-line SPE resulted in poor accuracy and precision in the range of 41-108% and 3-81%. Furthermore, the increase in back pressure resulted in column damage after the injection of only 60 samples.

The number of prescriptions for new direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban and dabigatran has increased exponentially in recent years, increasingly replacing the old gold standard, vitamin-K-antagonists. Due to their wide therapeutic range, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is not required, although it has been proven that this could significantly reduce side effects. In order to develop a cost-efficient and simple method for the simultaneous detection of the DOACs and phenprocoumon, a new technology for sample preparation from capillary blood in the ambulant sector named VAMS® was integrated and an LC-MS detector with on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) applying a Turboflow HTLC Cyclone 1.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are chemical compounds that have been widely used in industry and manufacture. Occurrence, together with persistence and recent toxicological effects data, has promoted the regulation of 20 PFAS (carboxylic and sulfonic) acids in drinking water through the recent Directive 2020/2184/EU. This Regulation included PFAS with different carbon chain lengths (from C to C) and limited the total PFAS concentration (as sum) to a maximum of 0.

This study concerns the synthesis of the florfenicol (FF) metabolites florfenicol amine (FFA), florfenicol alcohol (FFOH), and monochloroflorfenicol (FFCl), for their subsequent use as reference standards in On-line solid-phase extraction-ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis. The metabolites were characterized using H and C NMR, as well as HRMS, and their purities were confirmed by quantitative NMR to ensure analytical reliability. Validation of the developed analytical method showed that it presented acceptable performance, with linearity >0.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) has gained an essential role in environmental analytical chemistry. Classic off-line SPE coupled with LC-MS/MS systems creates powerful analytical procedures for ultratrace analysis of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water. But, being associated with tedious work and large consumption of materials, alternative SPE modes are becoming interesting.

Metabolic dysregulation of catecholamines (CAs) is implicated in various human diseases. Simultaneously analyzing these acidic and alkaline CAs and their metabolites poses a significant challenge for clinical detection. This study introduces an efficient method employing automated online solid-phase extraction coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (aoSPE-MS/MS).
