Abstract
<b>Background:</b> A rapid and sensitive LC-MS method has been developed and validated for the quantification of nucleoside di/triphosphates using a novel plasma separation card (HemaSep). <b>Materials & methods:</b> Cards were spotted with whole blood and stored at -80°C. Metabolites were extracted using 70:30 MeOH:20% formic acid, followed by weak anion exchange SPE and eluted using a Biobasic-AX column. Quantification was performed using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with a calibration range of 1.25-250 pmol/sample. <b>Results:</b> The recovery of metabolites was high (>93%). Precision and accuracy were acceptable and metabolites remained stable on the card after 29 days (stored at ambient temperature). <b>Conclusion:</b> HemaSep dried blood spots are a useful microsampling tool and offer an alternative to liquid plasma as they maintain stability over time.
