Abstract
An analytical method was developed for the determination, in blood plasma, of a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist drug, tesaglitazar. The drug and the isotope labelled internal standard were isolated by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on hexylsilica, separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and quantified by tandem mass spectrometry. Factorial design and a robotic sample processor were employed in the exploration and optimisation of the SPE procedure in the 96-well format. This allowed rapid development of the method, notably limiting the process to four experiments before validation. The detectability was greatly improved by utilising the formation of sodium adducts in atmospheric pressure positive ionisation mass spectrometry. Absolute recovery was more than 95% with a coefficient of variation of 5% at a level of 8.7 nM. The accuracy and precision of the automated SPE method presented here matched the excellence of the previously used method based on manual liquid-liquid extraction. Furthermore, the method resulted in an increased sample throughput.

Abstract
To support pre-clinical pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic (PK/TK) evaluation, a sensitive bioanalytical method for determination of N-cyano-N'-(tert-pentyl)-N"-(3-pyridinyl) guanidine (PNU-83757), in rat and monkey plasma was required. Although the UV response of PNU-83757 was quite decent and the extracts using solid phase extraction (SPE) were very selective and concentrated, the best limit of quantitation (LOQ) achieved was 0.4 ng ml(-1) using 0.5 ml plasma for extraction and 2 ng ml(-1) using 0.1 ml plasma for extraction, which was insufficient for PK/TK evaluation at lower doses. When using liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC-APCI-MS/MS, positive ions) and SPE, a LOQ of 0.045 ng ml(-1) for PNU-83757 was reached. Quantitation was accomplished using the precursor --> product ion combinations of m/z 232 --> 162 for PNU-83757 and m/z 236 --> 166 for the internal standard, [2H(4)]PNU-83757, in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. This method has been successfully utilized for PK/TK evaluation in pre-clinical studies and proved to have sufficient sensitivity to determine plasma concentrations for a dose level as low as 1 microg kg(-1) day(-1) in the rat and monkey. Further improvement of this method by using electrospray mass spectrometric detection (LC-ESI-MS/MS, positive ions) and automated membrane SPE, gave an LOQ of 0.008 ng ml(-1), and allowed analysis of large numbers of samples to support clinical PK studies in microg dose levels.

Abstract
A liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method to quantitate an anti-cancer drug in human plasma was validated. The method has proven suitable for routine quantitation of the experimental anti-cancer compound at concentrations from 1 to 400 ng/ml. Retention times of the compound and internal standard (compounds I and II, respectively) were 1.8 and 2.1 min, respectively. No interfering endogenous peaks were observed throughout the validation process. Precision estimates for this approach were typically less than 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) across the calibration range. Other validation parameters studied included specificity, system reproducibility, limit of quantitation, accuracy, linear range, and stability of the compound and internal standard in plasma and injection solvent. This method was used to quantify drug for population pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
Biological samples are normally collected and stored frozen in capped tubes until analysis. To obtain aliquots of biological samples for analysis, the sample tubes have to be thawed, uncapped, samples removed and then recapped for further storage. In this paper, we report an automated method of sample transfer devised to eliminate the uncapping and recapping process. This sampling method was incorporated into an automated liquid-liquid extraction procedure of plasma samples. Using a robotic system, the plasma samples were transferred directly from pierceable capped tubes into microtubes contained in a 96-position block. The aliquoted samples were extracted with methyl-tert-butyl ether in the same microtubes. The supernatant organic layers were transferred to a 96-well collection plate and evaporated to dryness. The dried extracts were reconstituted and injected from the same plate for analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
This paper reviews current trends and techniques in automated solid-phase extraction. The area has shown a dramatic growth the number of manuscripts published over the last 10 years, including applications in environmental science, food science, clinical chemistry, pharmaceutical bioanalysis, forensics, analytical biochemistry and organic synthesis. This dramatic increase of more that 100% per year can be attributed to the commercial availability of higher throughput 96-well workstations and extraction plates that allow numerous samples to be processed simultaneously. These so-called parallel-processing workstations represent the highest throughput systems currently available. The advantages and limitations of other types of systems, including discrete column systems and on-line solid-phase extraction are also discussed. Discussions of how automated solid-phase extractions can be developed, generic approaches to automated solid-phase extraction, and three noteworthy examples of automated extractions are given. The last part of the review suggests possible near- and long-term directions of automated solid-phase extraction.

Abstract
A semi-automated liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) technique for biological fluid sample preparation was introduced for the quantitation of four drugs in rat plasma. All liquid transferring during the sample preparation was automated using a Tomtec Quadra 96 Model 320 liquid handling robot, which processed up to 96 samples in parallel. The samples were either in 96-deep-well plate or tube-rack format. One plate of samples can be prepared in approximately 1.5 h, and the 96-well plate is directly compatible with the autosampler of an LC/MS system. Selection of organic solvents and recoveries are discussed. Also, precision, relative error, linearity and quantitation of the semi automated LLE method are estimated for four example drugs using LC/MS/MS with a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) approach. The applicability of this method and future directions are evaluated.

Abstract
A bioanalytical method to quantify cobalt mesoporphyrin (CoMP), a novel therapeutic agent, in plasma has been developed and validated. The approach involves atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine total cobalt in a sample and a back-calculation of the amount of compound present. Endogenous plasma cobalt concentrations were small ( <0.2 ng/ml(-1) Co in rat plasma) in comparison to the quantitation limit (4.5 ng/ml(-1) Co). The inter-day imprecision of the method was 10.0% relative standard deviation (RSD) and the inter-day bias was +/- 8.0% relative error (RE) over a standard curve range of 4.5- 45.0 ng/ml(-1) Co. Because it quantifies total cobalt, the method cannot differentiate between parent drug and metabolites, but negligible metabolism allows reliable estimates of the actual parent drug concentration. A correlation study between the atomic absorption method and 14C-radiometry demonstrated excellent agreement (r = 0.9868, slope = 1.041 +/- 0.028, intercept = 223.7 +/- 190.0) and further substantiated the accuracy of the methods. Methodology was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of CoMP in rat, with pharmacokinetic parameter estimation. The elimination half-lives, after intra-muscular and subcutaneous administration, were 7.7 and 8.8 days, respectively.

Abstract
An automated solid-phase extraction workstation was used to develop, characterize and validate an LC/MS/MS method for quantifying a novel lipid-regulating drug in dog plasma. Method development was facilitated by workstation functions that allowed wash solvents of varying organic composition to be mixed and tested automatically. Precision estimates for this approach were within 9.8% relative standard deviation (RSD) across the calibration range. Accuracy for replicate determinations of quality controls was between -7.2 and +6.2% relative error (RE) over 5-1,000 ng/ml(-1). Recoveries were evaluated for a wide variety of wash solvents, elution solvents and sorbents. Optimized recoveries were generally > 95%. A sample throughput benchmark for the method was approximately equal 8 min per sample. Because of parallel sample processing, 100 samples were extracted in less than 120 min. The approach has proven useful for use with LC/MS/MS, using a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) approach.

Abstract
An automated solid-phase extraction workstation was used to develop, characterize and validate two separate HPLC methods for quantifying drugs in plasma. Method development was facilitated by workstation functions which allowed wash solvents of varying organic composition to be mixed and tested automatically. The precision estimates for the two methods were within 6.0 and 2.0% RSD across their respective calibration ranges. Accuracies for replicate determinations of quality controls were between -1.2 and +4.8 RE over ng ml-1 calibration ranges, respectively. Optimized recoveries were quantitative and were generally greater than 90% for the four analytes tested, and depended to a great extent, as expected, on the composition of the wash solvent. Sample throughput benchmarks for the two methods ranged from 3 to 10 min per sample, depending on the extent of air drying used. Because of parallel sample processing, 60 samples could be extracted in as little as 17 min.

Abstract
Tandem-in-time mass spectrometry, as implemented on an ion-trap detector (ITD), is the process whereby precursor ions are created, stored in a radio frequency (rf) trapping field, and then sequentially fragmented to form product ions by application of additional rf waveforms. As with any form of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), tandem-in-time MS is highly selective, by virtue of both mass discrimination and specific gas-phase chemistry. Beyond this, however, tandem-in-time MS offers ion throughput efficiency and cost advantages over either quadrupole or sector instruments. This paper will describe the use of capillary gas chromatography combined with tandem-in-time mass spectrometry to quantify a novel therapeutic agent extracted from human plasma. For an example compound, a quantitation limit of 25 pg/mL (S/N approximately 10, 15 fmol on-column) was attained out of plasma. The interday imprecision was < or = 12.2% over a dynamic range extending to 10 ng/mL. Due to favorable ionization conditions for the test analytes, electron ionization resulted in formation of M+ ions, with very little fragmentation, allowing for maximum assay sensitivity. Although method characterization and validation demonstrated adequate instrumental performance, some lack of ruggedness was encountered during routine application.
