Descrição
Nota de análise
The cardiac glycosides digitoxin and digoxin are widely prescribed for treating congestive heart failure. Immunoassay-based methods are not able to effectively differentiate these two compounds due to their similar chemical structures. This application demonstrates a rapid, selective and sensitive LC/MS/MS method for determination of digitoxin and digoxin in plasma with a simple sample cleanup technique using HybridSPE-PLus for simultaneous removal of proteins and phospholipids and a Titan C18 column for rapid and efficient UHPLC separation. The highest grade LC-MS solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contaminants for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant CRMs provided reliable quantification.
