Miniature mass spectrometer-based point-of-care assay for quantification of metformin and sitagliptin in human blood and urine
This study developed a point-of-care (POC) assay method utilizing a miniature mass spectrometer, enabling rapid and accurate quantification of MET and STG concentrations in human blood and urine. By combining the miniature mass spectrometer with paper spray ionization, this method simplifies the process into three to four steps, requires minimal amounts of bodily fluids (50 μL of blood and 2 μL of urine), and is able to obtain quantification results within approximately 2 min. Stable isotope-labeled internal standards were employed to enhance the accuracy and stability of measurement. The MS/MS responses exhibited good linear relationship with concentration, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 25%. It has the potential to provide immediate treatment feedback and decision support for patients and healthcare professionals in clinical practice.PMID:38642098 | DOI:10.1007/s00216-024-05281-1
