Erin Chambers is a Principal Applications Chemist, providing
pharmaceutical applications development and support for Waters
Applied Technology Group. Erin's primary role is to support regulated
and discovery Bioanalysis, and develop bioanalytical methods for drug
molecules, both large and small. She is responsible for sample
preparation, mass spectrometry, and LC method development, and
also provides customer and in-house training on these topics. Her most
recent focus has been on peptide and protein bioanalysis as well as the
role of phospholipid removal plates in bioanalysis.

� No “one size fits all”
� Different segments of drug development process
– Scientific and business drivers may be different
– Drivers may be the same but with varying degrees of risk

Why Do Sample Prep?Why Do Sample Prep?Challenges in Bioanalytical MethodsChallenges in Bioanalytical Methods
� Robustness– Method must work equally well for spiked and incurred samples
– Must pass ISR
– Methods must transfer successfully across labs, analysts, matrix sources…
� Reproducibility
– Data quality must be sufficient to meet inter- and intra-day accuracy and
precision regulatory guidelines
o Must not exceed ±15%, except at LLOQ where it must not exceed ±20%
©2012 Waters Corporation 6
o Must not exceed ±15%, except at LLOQ where it must not exceed ±20%
– Must pass SOP-defined ISR criteria
� Speed
– 96-well format
– Validate more assays per unit time
– Higher quality information sooner for critical decisions
– Increase productivity
– Decreased time to market
Why Do Sample Prep? Why Do Sample Prep? Challenges in Challenges in BioanalyticalBioanalytical MethodsMethods
� Sensitivity– Need high sensitivity data to meet increasingly low detection limits
– Large molecule therapeutics or biomarkers
– Better S:N at lower levels improves consistency and reliability of quantitation
– Accurate representation of elimination time points
– Accommodate alternate routes of administration which yield lower plasma drug concentrations
©2012 Waters Corporation 7
plasma drug concentrations
o Intra-nasal
� Selectivity– Must be selective for analyte in multiple sources of complex biological matrices to meet matrix effects guidelines
– Analytes must be adequately separated from metabolites
– Historically heavy reliance on MS for selectivity
o New regulations require additional means of ensuring selectivity
Matrix Effects: A Major Concern Matrix Effects: A Major Concern
� Residual matrix components alter MS response
– Ion suppression (loss of signal)
– Ion enhancement (gain in signal)
� Phospholipids identified as a major source of
matrix effects in plasma
– Other plasma constituents (salts, proteins), dosing media,
formulation agents, mobile phase modifiers can also contribute
©2012 Waters Corporation 8
formulation agents, mobile phase modifiers can also contribute
– Other matrices, other interferences
� Difficult to predict and control
– Plasma/matrix variability
o Inter-subject variability (diet, protein levels, etc.)
o Species variability
o Dependent on concentration of lipids, specific proteins
– Extremely analyte specific
– Can be compounded by co-eluting analytes
Goals of Sample PreparationGoals of Sample Preparation
Minimize risk
� Minimize matrix effects
– Reduction of ion suppression/enhancement, interferences, background
� Eliminate sample to sample variability
– More reproducible quantitation
– More robust assays
– i.e., Plasma from different subjects or species
� Decrease assay variability
©2012 Waters Corporation 9
� Decrease assay variability
– Pass ISR
– Successful transfer across labs, analysts, sites
Increased sensitivity
� Sample concentration
� Removal of interferences
Cleaner Samples
� Increased instrument uptime
� Improved method robustness

Typical ProcessTypical Process
1. The simplest method which meets the assay needs is usually chosen• PPT or LLE are common starting points
2. For very challenging assays (low detection limits, closely related endogenous constituents, inhalation products, peptides, etc) SPE may be first choice

PhospholipidPhospholipid Removal Plates for MIST Removal Plates for MIST AssessmentAssessment
� FDA recommends that the safety of drug metabolites be
evaluated if they are present in human plasma at
concentrations greater that 10% of the parent drug (or API) at
steady state
– Relies on accurate, reliable quantification
� 10 parent/metabolite pairs were spiked into human plasma and
©2012 Waters Corporation 60
extracted using the generic Ostro protocol
– Metabolites spiked at 10 and 30% of parent concentration
� Ratios calculated and compared to expected
� Matrix effects assessed
� Phospholipid accumulation assessed

ConclusionsConclusions
� Methods are not one-size fits all, choice is based on assay
need
� New sample prep techniques provide more options for the

� Mixed-mode SPE facilitates routine achievement of low
pg/mL LLOQ’s for challenging assays such as peptide
quantification
� Phospholipid removal plates provide a significantly
simpler, cleaner, and faster option for routine bioanalysis,
DBS, MIST assessments, and lipidomics research
