Comparison of Matrix Effects in HPLC-MS/MS

Jet C. Van De Steene and Willy E. Lambert
Laboratory of Toxicology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium
When developing an LC-MS/MS-method matrix effects are a major issue. The effect of
co-eluting compounds arising from the matrix can result in signal enhancement or suppression.
During method development much attention should be paid to diminishing matrix
effects as much as possible. The present work evaluates matrix effects from aqueous
environmental samples in the simultaneous analysis of a group of 9 specific pharmaceuticals
with HPLC-ESI/MS/MS and UPLC-ESI/MS/MS: flubendazole, propiconazole, pipamperone,
cinnarizine, ketoconazole, miconazole, rabeprazole, itraconazole and domperidone. When
HPLC-MS/MS is used, matrix effects are substantial and can not be compensated for with
analogue internal standards. For different surface water samples different matrix effects are
found. For accurate quantification the standard addition approach is necessary. Due to the
better resolution and more narrow peaks in UPLC, analytes will co-elute less with interferences
during ionisation, so matrix effects could be lower, or even eliminated. If matrix effects
are eliminated with this technique, the standard addition method for quantification can be
omitted and the overall method will be simplified. Results show that matrix effects are almost
eliminated if internal standards (structural analogues) are used. Instead of the time-consuming
and labour-intensive standard addition method, with UPLC the internal standardization can
be used for quantification and the overall method is substantially simplified. (J Am Soc Mass

  1. Here is a great herbal doctor who cured me of Hepatitis B. his name is Dr. Imoloa. I suffered Hepatitis B for 11 years, I was very weak with pains all over my body my stomach was swollen and I could hardly eat. And one day my brother came with a herbal medicine from doctor Imoloa and asked me to drink and I drank hence there was no hope, and behold after 2 week of taking the medicine, I started feeling relief, my swollen stomach started shrinking down and the pains was gone. I became normal after the completion of the medication, I went to the hospital and I was tested negative which means I’m cured. He can also cure the following diseases with his herbal medicine...lupus, hay fever, measles, dry cough, diabetics hepatitis A.B.C, mouth ulcer, mouth cancer, bile salt disease, fol ate deficinecy, diarrhoea, liver/kidney inflammatory, eye cancer, skin cancer disease, malaria, chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, food poisoning, parkinson disease, bowel cancer, bone cancer, brain tumours, asthma, arthritis, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, lyme disease, muscle aches, fatigue, muscle aches, shortness of breath, alzhemer's disease, acute myeloid leukaemia, acute pancreatitis, chronic inflammatory joint disease, Addison's disease back acne, breast cancer, allergic bronchitis, Celia disease, bulimia, congenital heart disease, cirrhosis, constipation, fungal nail infection, fabromyalgia, (love spell) and many more. he is a great herbalist man. Contact him on email; drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com. You can also reach him on whatssap- +2347081986098.
