Paradigm Shift in the Arena of Sample Preparation and Bioanalytical Approaches Involving Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopic Technique

Abstract

Sample preparation is a highly important and integral part of bioanalysis for cleaning up the complex biological matrices and thereby minimizing matrix effect. Matrix effect can jeopardize the precise quantification and adversely affect the reliability of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based analytical results by alteration of analyte ionization. Matrix components result in suppression or enhancement of the intensity of analyte response. In spite of the high specificity and selectivity of tandem mass spectrometry, a relatively higher concentration of coeluted matrix elements present in biofluids may alter the efficiency of quantification of a bioanalytical method. Numerous literature reports different types of sample preparation techniques employed in bioanalysis. In this review, the strategies for selection of the appropriate sample clean-up technique in bioanalysis are discussed extensively. A paradigm shift in the arena of sample preparation and bioanalytical approaches involving the liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopic technique has been scrutinized. Current trends and possible future advancements in the field of biological sample extraction methods, including instrumental techniques are analyzed in detail.

Analytical Comparison of Antibody-drug Conjugates Based on Good Manufacturing Practice Strategies

“…Several unique analytical approaches aimed at versatile ADC characterization were recently published including sensitive immunoassay, 32 sample preparation for intact-MS analysis 33 and intact RP-HPLC. 34 However, we are confident that this publication can serve as a useful guide to start pre-clinical process development of antibody conjugates.…”

“…Compared to other chromatographic technique, RPLC has much higher separation power and a great variety of columns. Therefore, it was reported that over 80% separation work was achieved by RPLC [25‐28]. In 2D‐LC system, RP/RPLC was utilized to get high column efficiency and compatibility with MS. To add orthogonality of 2D‐LC, different mobile and stationary phases were selected in 2D separation.…”
