Mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely used analytical technique including medical diagnostics, forensic toxicology, food and water analysis. The gold standard for quantifying compounds involves using stable isotope-labeled internal standards (SIL-IS). However, when these standards are not commercially available, are prohibitively expensive, or are extremely difficult to synthesize, alternative external quantification techniques are employed. We hereby present a novel, convenient and cheap quantification approach—quantification via post column infusion (PCI). As a proof of concept, we demonstrated PCI quantification for the immunosuppressant tacrolimus in whole blood using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The validation results met the criteria according to the guideline on bioanalytical method validation of the European Medicine Agency (EMA), achieving imprecisions and inaccuracies with coefficient of variation and relative bias below 15%. Anonymized and leftover whole blood samples from immunosuppressed patients receiving tacrolimus were used for method comparison (PCI quantification vs. conventional internal standard (IS) quantification). Both methods showed strong agreement with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.9532. This novel PCI quantification technique (using the target analyte itself) expands the quantification options available in MS, providing reliable results, particularly when internal standards are unavailable or unaffordable. With the current paper, we aim to demonstrate that our innovative PCI technique has great potential to overcome practical issues in quantification and to provide guidance on how to incorporate PCI in existing or new LC-MS methods. Moreover, this study demonstrated a more convenient method for correcting matrix effects in comparison to alternative PCI techniques. |
