Intraday Precision (intraday + precision)
Selected AbstractsSemi-automated quantification of ivermectin in rat and human plasma using protein precipitation and filtration with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometryRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 12 2004Tony Pereira Ivermectin is a parasiticide commonly used in humans and livestock. It is currently under development for the treatment of pediculosis of humans (head lice) that does not respond to established treatments. A liquid chromatography/turbo ion spray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/TIS-MS/MS) method for the determination of ivermectin in rat and human plasma has been developed that uses emamectin [4,-epi-(methylamino)-4,-deoxyavermectin] as the internal standard. Sample preparation involved protein precipitation and filtration of fortified plasma in the 96-well format. Chromatographic separation was accomplished using fast gradient conditions on a C8 stationary phase. The analytes were detected with the mass spectrometer operated in the positive ion, multiple reaction monitoring mode. The method exhibited good intra- and interday accuracy and precision, and was linear over a dynamic range of 1,2000,ng/mL. In rat plasma, intraday accuracy ranged between 84,93% for the low quality control (QC) sample (1.5 ng/mL), and between 91,109% for the remaining QCs. Intraday precision ranged between 4.9,15% for the low QC, and 0.8,6.3% for the remaining QCs. Interday accuracy ranged between 88,107%, and precision between 4.1,11%. Similar data was obtained using human plasma. An investigation of matrix effects indicated that the ionization efficiency of ivermectin was favored by the presence of an ammonium ion in an aqueous environment. The implications of this observation toward assay sensitivity are discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Enantioselective analysis of primaquine and its impurity quinocide by capillary electrophoresisBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 3 2009Abdalla A. Elbashir Abstract A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the baseline separation of the enantiomers of primaquine diphosphate (PQ) and quinocide (QC) (a major contaminant) in pharmaceutical formulations is proposed. Both components were separated under the following conditions: 50 mm tris phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) containing 15 mm hydroxypropyl- , -cyclodextrin (HP- , -CD) as background electrolyte; applied voltage, 16 kV; capillary temperature, 25°C; detection wavelength, 254 nm; hydrostatic injection, 10 s. The separations were conducted using a 35 cm length and 50 µm i.d. uncoated fused silica capillary column. Under the optimized conditions, the components were successfully separated in about 5 min. Intraday precision of migration time and corrected peak areas when expressed as relative standard deviation ranged from 0.17 to 0.45 and 2.60 to 3.94%, respectively, while the interday precision ranged from 2.59 to 4.20 and 3.15 to 4.21%, respectively. After the validation exercise, the proposed method was applied for the determination of QC impurity in PQ formulations. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Introduction of HPLC/orbitrap mass spectrometry as screening method for doping controlJOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 7 2008E. D. Virus Abstract A new doping control screening method has been developed, for the analysis of doping agents in human urine, using HPLC/orbitrap with in-source collision-induced dissociation and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. The developed method allows the detection of 29 compounds, including agents with antiestrogenic activity, ,2 agonists, exogenous anabolic steroids, and other anabolic agents. The mass accuracy of this method is better at 2 ppm using an external reference. The detection limit for all compounds tested was better than 100 pg/ml. The recoveries of most analytes were above 70%. The measured median repeatability values for doping agents included in the method at concentrations of 1 and 10 ng/ml were 21 and 17%, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the intraday precision (n = 6) ranged from RSD = 16,22%, whereas the interday precision (n = 18), ranged from RSD = 17,26%, depending on the solute concentration investigated.

[source] Determination of antiviral nucleoside analogues AM365 and AM188 in perfusate and bile of the isolated perfused rat liver using HPLCBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 3 2006Jiping Wang Abstract Development, validation and application of an HPLC assay for new antiviral nucleoside analogues AM365 and AM188 in isolated perfused rat liver perfusate and bile were performed. An analytical column (Phenosphere-NEXT, 250 × 4.6 mm, C18, 4 µm, Phenomenex) was used in tandem with a guard column (4 × 3 mm, C18, Phenomenex) and operated at 25°C. The mobile phase [methanol:10 mmol/L sodium orthophosphate buffer (pH 7.0), 15:85, v/v] was pumped at 1 mL/min. The signal from a diode array detector was collected from 190 to 300 nm. The chromatogram was processed at 220 and 252 nm for AM365 and AM188, respectively. The HPLC method was validated by six intraday and seven interday runs. Standard curves were linear in the range 0.125,8.00 µg/mL for AM365 and AM188, and the lower limit of quantification for AM365 and AM188 was 0.125 µg/mL. Mean interday precision and accuracy of IPL perfusate quality control samples were within 8.8%, and mean intraday precision and accuracy were within 13.1%. The assay has been successfully used in the study of metabolism and disposition of AM365 in the isolated perfused rat liver. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | ||||||||||
