Quantitative Method Development
1. Know what you are looking for and a rough idea of the concentration range.
2. Obtain reference material (drug, protein, peptide, etc)
3. Develop method. Determine sample extraction/cleanup, and what
instrumentation to useEx) Immuno-depletion, SPE, tryptic digestion, LC-MS.
4. Validate method with real samples.5. Run samples, calibrators and quality control
samples identically. This includes sample clean up, extraction, LC-MS
analysis, peak integration, and quantitation.
4
Sample Analysis
• An absolute quantitation method requires:• Unknown samples (what you trying to analyze)
• Processed matrix + analytes• Known samples – containing known amounts of
targeted analytes in matrix• Calibration standards – generate calibration curve• Quality control samples (QCs) – evaluate method
performance• Standards spiked in solvent without matrix
• Blanks – samples without the analytes• Matrix blanks – matrix without analytes• Solvent blanks – solvent without analytes
5
Quantitative Analysis – Calibration Curves
External Standard Method Construct calibration curve with increasing amounts of analyte. Match unknown samples instrument response to curve
Method of Standard Addition Increasing amounts of analyte spiked into unknown sample. Response is measured before and after addition of analyte to give a
curve using linear regression. The x-intercept gives concentration sample concentration
Internal Standard (IS) Method A known, constant amount of internal standard is added to every
sample including calibrators Use the ratio of Analyte to IS to construct calibration curve and use
for determination of unknown sample concentration Preferred method because it corrects for sample losses in
processing and variations in instrument performance
6
Ideal MS Quantitative Method
Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) – use of a isotopically labeled internal standard.
Sample
Internal standard (IS)
1. Take aliquot
2. Add IS
3. Process Sample
4. Analyze by LC-MS/MS
5. Integrate and calculate areas of IS and analyte peaks – Quantitate using analyte/IS area ratio
IS
Analyte
7
Internal Standard Selection
SIS – Surrogate Internal Standard Stable isotope labeled version of analyte is
preferable – 13C, 2H, 15N Minimize isotopic overlap of SIS and analyte SIS co-elution with analyte preferable
Small molecule – synthesize or purchaseProteomics
Purchase heavy peptides from vendors Express protein in culture with heavy media
8
Analyte to SIS Area Count Ratio
Calibrator 6 500 pg/ml nominal
Analyte/SIS ratio = 1.07 533 pg/ml based on
calibration curve

Disadvantage No “advanced”

Fixed m/zFragmentFixed m/z
Q1 Q2 Q3
Why use Select Reaction Monitoring (SRM)?
Also known as multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
12
Select Reaction Monitoring
Quadrupole 1 (Q1) selects the ion of interest (precursor ion) by its m/z ratio
Quadrupole 2 (Q2) fragments precursor ion by collision induced dissociation (CID)
Fixed m/zFragmentFixed m/z
Q1 Q2 Q3Quadrupole 3 (Q3) selects specific
fragmentation ions (product ions) which are counted in the detector
13
Why use MS/MS in Quantitation?
MS/MS provides additional specificity which increases signal to baseline (S/B) and sensitivity allowing for: Less intense sample preparation.Shorter chromatographic run times Decreased Limits of Detection (LOD).
14
Determining SRM transitions
Infusion of pure substance – Preferably commercially obtained with certificates of analysis (traceability).
In Silico - predicted product ions from software (Proteomics).
Optimization of SRM Transitions Optimize precursor ion formation in Q1
Source conditions, tube lens, etc Optimize several SRM transitions (5 if
possible) and run standards in matrix to check for interferences

• Look at EIC to determine optimal quantitation ion
• Use samples spiked in matrix to evaluate interferences.

LOD of Stanozolol - 25 pg/ml with S/B = 3:1
Smallest response that is able to differentiate between background noise and your analyte
Usually defined as a signal to background (S/B) = 3
Determined by 1:1 dilutions from a concentration with a S/B= 50:1

Limits of Quantitation
Lower and upper concentrations that can be accurately quantitated.
Lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) usually defined as a signal to background (S/B) = 10
The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) is usually the highest calibrator giving a linear response Boyd R, Basic C, Bethem R (2008) Trace

Generation of Calibration Curve
6 to 9 calibrators prepared in matrix blanks
Must include LLOQ and ULOQ
Linear regression commonly used – R2 ≥ 0.98
Be aware of deviations from linearity at higher conc.
Avoid forcing through zero Internal Calibration
Ratio of analyte area to SIS area
25
Quality Control (QC) Samples
QC samples: Blank matrix containing a known amount of analyte Run dispersed thorough out the assay
At least 3 different levels (n=6) One near LLOQ One in the middle of linear range One at the high end of the linear range
Determine accuracy and precision of method during validation and monitor performance during sample runs
Use QC’s for determination of both inter-assay (between runs) and intra-assay (same run) precision and accuracy
26
Quality Control Samples – Accuracy and Precision
Accuracy: Trueness % expected = (Conc of Peak)/(Expected Conc)*100 mean within 15% of nominal
Precision: Reproducibility % Coefficient of Variation = (Standard Dev)/(Mean)*100 % CV ≤ 15% Also expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD)
