4 Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
4.1 Principle
The analytes in the samples were extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned up with solid phase extraction columns, determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and quantified by the internal standard method.
4.2 Reagents or materials
Unless otherwise specified, only analytical grade reagents were used.
4.2.1 Water. GB/T 6682, Grade 1.
4.2.2 Methanol. chromatographic grade.
4.2.3 Acetonitrile. chromatographic grade.
4.2.4 Formic acid. chromatographically pure.
4.2.5 Ammonium acetate. chromatographically pure. 4.2.6 Sodium sulfate. 4.2.7 Sodium chloride.
4.2.8 Ammonium acetate solution (0.005 mol/L). Weigh 0.19 g of ammonium acetate (4.2.5), dissolve it in water, transfer it to a 500 mL volumetric flask, and Mix well.
4.2.9 Reconstitution solution. Pipette.200 mL of acetonitrile (4.2.3) into a 1000 mL volumetric flask, add 2 mL of formic acid (4.2.4), dilute with water, and Mix well.
