Abstract
Objective To evaluate the performance of magnetic bead-based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)in extracting and detecting catecholamine metabolites in plasma.Methods The catecholamine metabolites,i.e.,dopa-mine(DA),norepinephrine(NE),epinephrine(E),3-methoxytyramine(3-MT),normetanephrine(NMN),and metanephrine(MN),were extracted from plasma using magnetic bead-based LC-MS/MS.The performance of the method was validated by assessing linear range,detection limit,precision,and matrix effects.Clinical plasma samples(n=81)were collected,and the results of mag-netic bead-based extraction were compared with traditional solid-phase extraction(SPE)using LC-MS/MS and the statistical analysis were conducted for consistency of the two extraction methods.Results The linear correlation coefficients of DA,NE,E,3-MT,NMN and MN extracted using magnetic beads were all greater than 0.99,and the limits of quantification were determined to be 10.41,80.2,4.55,3.89,11.2 and 1.12 pg/mL,and the limits of detection were established as 2.75,26.5,1.5,1.35,3.1 and 0.34 pg/mL,re-spectively.The intra-and inter-day precision expressed as coefficient of variation(CV)were both within 15%.The relative recovery rates ranged from 100.54%to 102.21%for DA,95.78%to 101.85%for NE,95.56%to 99.09%for E,95%to 102.72%for 3-MT,94.97%to 100.19%for NMN,and 94.77%to 100.65%for MN with the range of all the relative deviations within±15%.All the rela-tive matrix effects were within the range of 85%to 115%.The comparisons of magnetic bead extraction with SPE for DA,NE,E,3-MT,NMN and MN showed the relative percent deviations of 0.93%,0.99%,0.95%,0.92%,0.97%and 1.02%,respectively,in-dicating fine consistency between the two extracting methods.Conclusion The magnetic bead-based method in extracting cate-cholamine metabolites from plasma was demonstrated to possess excellent analytical performance,rapid and simple operation,and could enhance the automation degree and throughput in the process of clinical testing,showing promising application prospects.
