Abstract
Numerous methods for the measurement of tacrolimus and cyclosporine A involving traditional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) have previously been described. The majority of these methods use solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, or protein precipitation extraction with instrument run times greater than 15 s per sample. Continued demands in clinical labs for greater efficiency and throughput have put increased stress on traditional technologies such as high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) and traditional LC-MS/MS. As an improvement to the existing methods, we describe a sensitive ultrafast LC-MS/MS with run times of less than 15 s per sample.
