A new method based on a QuEChERS extraction followed by the ultra-high liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) detection has been developed for the analysis of mycotoxin in beer. The method allows the identification and quantification of 23 mycotoxins with different chemical characteristic including regulated, emerging and masked compounds. A sample treatment procedure involving a QuEChERS extraction and dispersive solid-phase clean-up steps was applied. This protocol involves a new approach based on a sample concentration before the extraction. The method was in-house validated in terms of limits of detection (LODs), limits of quantification (LOQs), linearity, repeatability and recoveries. For most compounds, recoveries ranged from 70% to 110% with LOQs (from 0.038 to 30.43 µg/L) lower than the maximum residue levels established in European regulations. In general, acceptable performance characteristics were obtained fulfilling the current legislation. Therefore, the proposed method is appropriate for routine analysis of beer.

In this study, residues of 10 neonicotinoid insecticides were tested with 143 fresh samples of using the QuEChERS method combined with UPLC-MS/MS. Based on the residue results, the point estimation method was used to assess dietary risks for adults and children, and the cumulative risk was assessed according to the hazard index () and relative potency factor () methods. The results showed that 71 out of 143 samples of fresh sold in Hainan tested positive for neonicotinoid insecticides, with a detection rate of 49.

E6011 is a monoclonal antibody that is currently under development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. While ligand binding assays (LBAs) are typically employed for the determination of therapeutic antibodies, ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) represents an alternative platform. E6011 in monkey serum was treated with ammonium sulfate to obtain pellets for subsequent processing.

Currently, treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is still the first choice for epileptic patients, while monitoring their blood concentrations is undoubtedly beneficial for minimizing their adverse side effects and optimizing their therapeutic effects. In this study, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry with polarity switching was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of 14 AEDs and 2 active metabolites in human serum. Olanzapine was selected as the internal standard.
