LC-MS Method Development and Validation

Drug discovery is the process of generating compounds and evaluating all their properties to determine the feasibility of selecting one new chemical entity (NCE) to become a safe and effective drug. Pharmaceutical companies are under ever-increasing pressure from both their business competition and the patient population to increase the rate of drug discovery.

(LC) Liquid Chromatography:

LC-MS Method, first what is LC? Chromatography is a separations method that relies on differences in partitioning behavior between a flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase to separate the components in a mixture.

A column holds the stationary phase and the mobile phase carries the sample through it.

Sample components that partition strongly into the stationary phase spend a greater amount of time in the column and are separated from components that stay predominantly in the mobile phase and pass through the column faster.

(MS) Mass Spectrometry:
Mass spectrometers use the difference in mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ionized compounds to separate them from each other.
Compounds have distinctive fragmentation patterns that provide structural information to specifically detect compounds.

Types of Mass Spectrometers

• LC-MS (Single Quadrupole)

• LC-MS/MS (Triple Quadrupoles)

• LC-Q (Ion Traps, Linear Ion Traps)

• LC-Q-TRAPS (Quadrupole Linear Ion Traps)

• LC-TOF-MS (Time-of-Flight)

• MALDI-TOF-MS

• Q-TOF-MS (Quadrupole Time-of-Flight)

• FT-MS (Fourier Transform)

• Others
