This study compares and evaluates the effect of various matrices on liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. Permanent post-column infusion (PCI) was used to quantify matrix effects. In this way, the suppressed or enhanced signal of the target material resulting from different co-eluting matrix components could be assessed. Twenty-four biological samples from in vivo and in vitro experiments were selected for this study. In addition, 7 sample components were further analyzed after sample preparation by protein precipitation. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the collinear relationship between matrix effects and co-eluted components at different time intervals. We found that salt was the dominant factor which impacted changes in signal detection. In order to eliminate it, we used ammonium formate as a modifier of the mobile phase which resulted in charge-state redistribution profiles so that a homogeneous matrix formed. By employing pulse gradient chromatography in the presence of 5 mM ammonium formate, favorable improvements of enhanced signal intensity and reduced matrix effects were obtained. These experiments also indicated the feasibility of using analogue IS during bio-analysis which contributed to an overall faster assay that would be suitable for drug discovery and development purposes.
