TYPE OF ANALYTE
(Parent vs. Metabolite)
Generally parent drug.
 Metabolite acceptable ‘in exceptional cases’
 Present any available data supporting the view that the
metabolite exposure will reflect parent drug.
Metabolite formation is not saturated at therapeutic doses

Basics of Bioanalytics
Biological matrices
Whole Blood
Serum
Plasma
Urine
Liquor, Saliva, Synovia, Tissue, Faeces, Sputum,…

Biological matrices
Whole Blood
Should be avoided if ever possible…
Mandatory if drug binds strongly to erythrocytes (i.e., no plasma
concentrations can be measured – example: chlorthalidone).
Recommended if drug is routinely in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
(TDM) in whole blood, even if measurement in plasma is possible.
Examples: tacrolimus; ciclosporin

Biological matrices
Serum
Only if no stability issues (sufficient time for clotting– no cooling
allowed).
Possible problems after thawing (turbidity requiring centrifugation
Sometimes problems become evident only in multiple freeze-thawcycles (part of validation, but not of method development).
Therefore most bioanalysts opt for…
Plasma
Better choice than serum,
Numerous anticoagulants available: heparin, citrate, different EDTA
salts (Na, K, Li).
Type of anticoagulant must not interfere with the extraction / separation
/ detection!
It is the responsibility of the bioanalyst to require the most suitable
anticoagulant from the clinical site.
Urine, Liquor, Saliva, Synovia, Tissue, Faeces, Sputum,…

Sample Preparation
(Extraction / Trace Enrichment)
Dilution
Protein Precipitation
Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE)
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
Dilution
For urine samples – with a few exceptions
Protein Precipitation
Rough treatments’ (perchloric acid, trichoroacetic acid) should
be
avoided: analyte will be trapped in denaturized protein clots.
acetonitrile, methanol or ethanol is recommended specially for LC/MS
Best choice for high concentrations, good separation and
selective detection
All other low molecular mass compounds (incl. endogenous
ones) remain in solution.
Led to many disasters in LC/MS-MS (matrix effects)!

Sample Preparation
Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Based on distribution between an aqueous phase (plasma, urine) and an organic
phase Simple example: diclofenac.
Solid Phase Extraction
Based on distribution between an aqueous phase (plasma, urine) and chemically
bonded solid phase matrix.
Most common reversed phase silica: C18, C8, C4, C2, Phenyl
Rarely normal phase: NH2, OH, CN
At least for BE studies – free (unbound) drug should be measured, even for
highly protein bound drugs. Common sample preparation techniques lead always
to the total concentration.

Integration
Peak ‘recognition’ Peak start and end ‘recognized’ by:
Noise threshold
Baseline drift: mainly important for gradient elution
 Area threshold: values below this value are not followed
Automatic vs. manual The automatic integration may fail:
Mainly for small peaks close to the LLOQ
Rarely for high peaks, when a series of positive random noise may
trigger a ‘end of peak’ too early or negative random noise draws the
baseline too late.
Chromatography Data Systems (CDS) Chromatography Data System (CDS)
Bundled with chromatograph / MS
Xcalibur® (Thermo Scientific)
Analyst® (Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex)
EZChrome Elite (Agilent Technologies)
Empower™ (Waters)
LabSolutions (Shimadzu)

Calibration
Model Selection
Linear y = A + Bx
Quadratic y = A + Bx + Cx²
4-parameter logistic (LBA)
Weighting Schemes
Unweighted (simple linear regression; not
recommended)
Weighted w=1/x, w=1/x², w=1/s²
Working Range
accurate and precise within Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) and Upper
Limit of Quantitation (ULOQ)

Considerations
Absence of co-eluting compounds (MS-MS < MS < FL < EC < UV-DAD < UV)
Lack of Matrix Effects
peak response in presence of matrix ions
MF= ___________________________________
peak response in mobile phase
Matrix Factor ~1
Minimization of Matrix Effects
Use internal standard of similar structure (preferably stable isotope –
labeled; recommended in EMA 2011 GL)
Avoid ‘precipitate and shot’–methods Conduct sufficient sample cleanup.
Use new chromatographic methods (UPLC, Rapid Resolution LC) to
enhance separation
