In all areas of analytical laboratory testing it is vital to ensure proper quality measures are in place to reduce or eliminate cross contamination between samples, which could result in false positive and/or false negative results. In many cases sample carryover in the LC/MS system is checked early on in the method development process. However, one area that can often be overlooked the sample preparation stage. This involves all aspects including pipetting, sample transfer, extraction protocol, evaporation and mixing steps. This poster examines various stages of the sample preparation process to determine the potential for cross contamination and present approaches to minimize and or eliminate the effect. This is demonstrated via a series of dye experiments combined with analyte testing using LC-MS/MS.

Disinfection by-products (DBP) are an ever-present nuisance in the efforts to purify drinking water, wastewater and municipal waters from various sources. An emerging class of DBP compounds with health effects is nitrosamines1-3 which result from chloramination or chlorination if the water is nitrogen-rich.

In postmortem cases, where drugs or pesticides have been used for their poisonous properties, traditional matrices such as urine and whole blood may be inappropriate for qualitative and quantitative analysis. As the site of metabolism for most drugs and toxins, the liver may provide more insight to cause of death than other bodily fluids.

Matrix components, particularly salts, proteins and phospholipids, can lead to ion suppression resulting in inaccurate quantitation and reduced detection limits. Resin-based mixed-mode cation exchange SPE sorbents are widely used for the extraction of basic compounds from biological fluids. The dual retention mechanism allows a two stage interference wash protocol, which results in extremely clean extracts. This poster will investigate the performance of EVOLUTE™ CX for the extraction of a wide range of basic drugs from plasma, showing high analyte recovery and advanced extract cleanliness. The analyte suite was selected to cover a variety of basic analytes with wide ranging polarities (LogP values). Extract cleanliness experiments were performed showing overall ion suppression, then individual matrix components examined in terms of protein and phospholipid removal.
