摘要
Background: The profiling and quantification of drug metabolites in discovery and development bioanalysis studies is playing an increasingly important role in early candidate selection. Using a conventional tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer this activity normally requires several analytical runs to acquire the necessary analytical data. Results: In this article we present the use of a new tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a novel collision cell design, which allows the rapid switching between multiple reaction monitoring and full-scan MS mode. This approach allowed for the collection of multiple reaction monitoring data and full-scan data with no loss in sensitivity, with analysis times in the 1-2 min range. Conclusion: A modified approach of using the multiple reaction monitoring data to trigger the acquisition of full scan MS/MS data is described, where the data is collected on the trailing edge of the LC-MS peak, thus improving data quality and throughput.
