Why Do Sample Preparation?

Need to remove matrix interferences – Increase signal to noise by simplifying the chromatographic separation

o Enables better, more consistent quantitation

– Reduce variability in analytical results due to matrix inconsistencies

o Higher, more consistent recovery

o Minimize matrix effects

o Less rework

– Increase column lifetime

o Fewer columns need to be replaced

– Reduces system downtime

o Less time spent with wrenches or waiting for service

Need to concentrate analyte of interest – Present in low levels = difficult to quantitate

Need to transfer (extract) analytes of interest into a solution that can be tested – Meat, fish and milk

But How?

Sample Preparation Techniques: Which One?

How do you choose a technique to clean up complex sample

matrices?

– Filtration / Dilution

– Protein precipitation (PPT)

– Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)

– Solid-supported liquid-liquid extraction (SSLE)

– Solid-phase extraction (SPE)

Objectives: Simplest technique

Fastest preparation procedure Cleanest extracts

“Good Enough” Sample Preparation

How Good is Good Enough?

Fast gradients are common and help increase throughput, but…

It is important to be able to accurately quantify drugs and metabolites during the discovery stage and preclinical assessments of candidate drugs (eg. for MIST assessment). The method needs to be fast, robust and applicable to diverse drug candidates and metabolites.

Phospholipid Build Up Can Lead to Matrix Effects and Unpredictable Results

Using protein precipitation, residual phospholipids build up on the column during the processing of one analytical batch (50 samples total) The bottom chromatogram shows the earliest and latest eluting parent compounds superimposed over the phospholipid trace, illustrating co-elution. This may cause matrix effects. Also note the elution of a significant phospholipid peak at the end of the gradient re-equilibration. This may cause matrix effects and a decrease in robustness.

History – Making SPE Simple

Since 1996, Waters goal was to simplify complex sample

preparation methods with generic sorbent & protocols

– Oasis HLB introduced in 1996 as the first water-wettable polymeric

SPE into the market

– Gold standard SPE sorbent in sample prep market for the last 18

years

– Sample preparation technique of choice for LC-MS due to cleanliness

of extracts and universal applicability.

– Well understood SPE technology

– 5 step generic protocol

Lipid Removal from Acetonitrile-Based Meat

Extract RESULTS: Oasis PRiME HLB removes more than 90% of hexane-extractable total lipids (determined gravimetrically). Oasis PRiME HLB successfully removes both phospholipids and fats in pass through method. The silica C18 sorbent removes only fats, NOT phospholipids. Removal of both of these components results in fewer matrix effects and less column and/or instrument contamination.

Oasis PRiME HLB Summary

Oasis PRiME HLB is the next generation SPE device that sets the new performance standard for routine analyses

– Best choice for samples that contain proteins, fats, and/or lipids and can be prepared by reversed-phase ‘catch-and-release’ SPE or ‘pass-through’ SPE

SIMPLER: Streamlined protocols, no condition and equilibration steps, easy to implement into laboratory workflows without SPE expertise

FASTER: Faster flows through device, more even flows across cartridges and plates with less plugging, faster overall processing

CLEANER: Reduced matrix effects, phospholipid and fat removal in the pass-through method, less column and/or instrument contamination
