The Column www.thecolumn.eu.com Rainville and Mather Experimental Results As seen in Figure 3, during the development of an LC–MS–MS method for fluticasone Figure 3: Analysis of rat plasma spiked with 100 ng/mL fluticasone propionate. Figure 2: Schematic illustrating PIC data acquisition. MRM m/z 501 100 % 169.1 200 0 100 % The collision cell design of the tandem quadrupole MS allowed for simultaneous acquisition of both MRM and full scan MS data. PIC takes advantage of this capability to collect a high-quality full scan MS or MS–MS spectrum during MRM acquisition.1 This MS or MS–MS spectrum is acquired after the apex of the MRM peak and before the return to baseline. (See Figure 2) Furthermore, the fast data capture rate of the tandem quadrupole MS allowed for multiple full scan MS or MS–MS spectra to be acquired across the narrow, 2- to 3-second-wide chromatographic peaks that are typically generated during analysis when coupled with UPLC. propionate, two peaks with the same MRM transitions were detected. Also seen in Figure 3 was the product ion scan spectra simultaneously generated by the PIC function during analysis. Spectra (a) is that obtained from the peak eluting with a retention time of 0.69 minutes and spectra (b) was obtained from the peak eluting with a retention time of 0.85 minutes. Each of the product ion scan spectra generated from the analysis were then compared with the product ion scan spectra obtained during sample tuning of the fluticasone propionate standard as seen in Figure 4. The comparison of the two spectra shows good agreement, confirming that the peak with the retention time of 0.85 minutes is the analyte of interest, fluticasone propionate. Thus it was demonstrated that in one analytical run, we were able to identify the peak at 0.85 minutes as the analyte of interest without the need for further analysis. Conclusion Multiple peaks with the same MRM transition can be observed during method development or routine analysis in bioanalytical studies. These spurious peaks can be generated by chromatographic peak splitting, metabolites or matrix interferences. PIC functionality enables the confirmation of peak identity during MRM quantitative analysis by obtaining a quality product scan spectra during MRM MS analysis. The ability of the tandem quadrupole MS to perform this function results in the reduction of further confirmatory experiments, saving time and money, which ultimately increases laboratory productivity. Furthermore, this function can be performed with the narrow, 2- to 3-second-wide chromatographic peaks generated by UPLC.
