Automated solid-phase extraction workstations efficiently developed two HPLC methods for drug quantification in plasma. These methods demonstrated high accuracy, precision, and rapid sample throughput, improving analytical workflows.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Pharmaceutical Analysis
  • Chromatography

Background:

  • Accurate quantification of drugs in plasma is crucial for therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies.
  • Traditional manual sample preparation methods for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) can be time-consuming and prone to variability.
  • Automated systems offer potential for improved efficiency, reproducibility, and reduced hands-on time in bioanalytical laboratories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, characterize, and validate two distinct HPLC methods for quantifying drugs in plasma samples.
  • To leverage an automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) workstation to streamline method development and sample preparation.
  • To assess the precision, accuracy, recovery, and throughput of the developed automated HPLC methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an automated solid-phase extraction workstation for method development and sample preparation.
  • Developed and optimized two separate HPLC methods for drug quantification.
  • Investigated the impact of wash solvent composition on analyte recovery during SPE.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high precision with relative standard deviations (RSD) within 6.0% and 2.0% across calibration ranges.
  • Demonstrated excellent accuracy, with replicate quality control determinations between -1.2% and +4.8% RE.
  • Obtained quantitative recoveries (>90%) for four analytes, influenced by wash solvent composition.
  • Established sample throughput benchmarks of 3-10 minutes per sample, with parallel processing enabling extraction of 60 samples in 17 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • The automated SPE workstation effectively facilitated the development and validation of robust HPLC methods for plasma drug analysis.
  • The developed methods exhibit high accuracy, precision, and significantly improved sample throughput compared to manual techniques.
  • Automated SPE offers a viable solution for efficient and reliable bioanalytical sample preparation, enhancing laboratory productivity.
