Electric field-assisted dried blood spot sample preparation for analysis of steroids using LC–MS/MS

Despite being a minimally invasive sample source, dried blood spots (DBS) generally pose the challenge of efficient sample extraction for broad metabolomics applications. This is particularly true for the quantification of steroids using non-derivatized liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assays. To address these limitations, we have demonstrated the use of electric field as a driver for sample preparation from DBS samples to simultaneously quantify testosterone (T), 17α-hydr....

An in-depth analysis of four classes of antidepressants quantification from human serum using LC–MS/MS

Depression is a growing global crisis, with females at a higher rate of diagnosis than males. While the percentage of patients on prescribed antidepressants have tripled over the last two decades, we are still at a crossroad where the discrepancy lies between finding a drug to suit a patient and monitoring the abundance of it in the body to prevent unwanted side effects. Liquid Chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) has garnered the attention of clinicians as a technique to....
