说明
分析说明
An online SPE-LC/MS method is shown here for the determination of thyroid hormones in blood plasma. The method exploits RP-Amide or C8 as the trapping column and a phenyl-hexyl phase as the analytical column, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, both RP-Amide and C8 effectively trapped the thyroid hormones extracted from spiked rabbit plasma sample which had been protein precipitated. However, the RP-Amide traps were shown to be superior to the commonly used C8 traps because they provided higher analyte signals and recoveries. Additionally, RP-Amide traps are more flexible with washing solvent as they are compatible with 100% aqueous mobile phases and can be used with up to 20% methanol with minimal sample loss. Separation was carried out using an Ascentis Express 2.7 μm Phenyl-Hexyl column. The highest grade solvents provided clean, robust operation. Cerilliant CRMs provided reliable quantification.
