Fast and reliable determination of voriconazole in human plasma by LC-APCI-MS/MS

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2010;74(10):2151-3. doi: 10.1271/bbb.100474. Epub 2010 Oct 7.

Abstract

A fast and reliable liquid chromatography coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantification of voriconazole in human plasma. The proposed method was validated in a linear range of 50-10,000 ng/ml, and the total run time was 1.5 min. This method was successfully used to support routine therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole.
