Mass spectrometry has played an increasingly important role in the clinical analysis of vitamin D because of its accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to detect multiple substances at the same time. Despite their many advantages, mass spectrometry-based methods are not without analytical challenges. Front-end and back-end challenges such as protein precipitation, analyte extraction, derivatization, mass spectrometer functionality, must be carefully considered to provide accurate and robust analysis of vitamin D through a well-designed approach with continuous control by internal and external quality control.

Therefore, it is paramount to develop effective strategies for evaluating the quality consistency of TCMs. From the starting point of quality properties, this review explores the strategy used to evaluate quality consistency in terms of chemistry-based strategy (chemical consistency) and the biology-based strategy (bioequivalence). Among them, the chemistry-based strategy is the mainstream, and biology-based strategy complements the chemistry-based strategy each other. Furthermore, the emerging chemistry-biology strategies (overall evaluation) is discussed, including individually combining strategy and integration strategy.

This review compares GC-ECD and GC-MS for analyzing atmospheric hGHGs in terms of analytical methodology, performance, and instrumentation. For hGHGs such as SF<sub>6</sub>, chlorofluorocarbons, and N<sub>2</sub>O, ECD can be employed in the single column, forecut-backflush (FCBF), and preconcentration methods. The order of appearance of SF<sub>6</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O is an important consideration for selecting the separation column to avoid chromatographic interference from the long-tailed N<sub>2</sub>O and O<sub>2</sub> on SF<sub>6</sub>. Single column and FCBF GC-ECD methods suffer from nonlinear responsivity, but the preconcentration method can compensate for nonlinearity. The last method also offers a low drift, which eliminates the need for multipoint calibration and enables perfect linearity at atmospheric SF<sub>6</sub> levels. GC-MS demonstrates strong separability and identification capabilities, and over 60 hGHGs can be qualitatively analyzed by leveraging the separation power of MS and established MS databases. However, GC-MS requires a preconcentrator operating at -165 °C utilizing specialized adsorbents. Two notable preconcentrator-GC-MS systems, Medusa-GC-MS and detachable trap preconcentrator (DTP) GC-MS, differ in trap design, temperature scheme, and separation column type. Medusa-GC-MS employs a three-phased temperature operation before MS. DTP-GC-MS separates the preconcentration cycle into highly and less volatile compounds, using a different temperature scheme from that of Medusa-GC-MS. The preconcentrator-GC-MS system is widely employed for measuring perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and other hGHGs.
