An automated Immunoaffinity liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for quantification of aldosterone in human plasma
The diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA) relies on the accurate determination of aldosterone. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has long been considered the gold standard for aldosterone quantification but it is hindered by labor-intensive sample preparation. To address this, we developed an immunoaffinity-mass spectrometry (iMS) assay on a fully automated device combining anti-aldosterone antibodies with stable isotope-labeled internal standards (IS). This method completes sample preparation within 15 min for at least six parallel samples in parallel with minimal manual intervention.
The key performance metrics include a lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 50 pg/mL, recovery rates between 105.1 and 113.9 %, and linearity in the range of 50–2000 pg/mL (R2 = 0.9993). Inter-assay coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 2.33 % to 3.91 %. In addition, plasma aldosterone concentrations by iMS and immunoassay had a high correlation coefficient (R = 0.947).
Overall, this automated high-throughput platform delivers clinical-grade sensitivity, precision, and scalability, making it suitable for routine testing and adaptable for other clinical analytes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
