A simple and cost effective method for the quantification of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine from urine using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

摘要

A rapid and high-throughput method for the determination of urinary levels of the oxidative stress biomarker, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), has been developed and validated using liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The assay features a cheap and readily available non-isotopic internal standard, a single-step filtration sample preparation, and a total analysis time of 6 min including column re-equilibration. The method was validated based on linearity, accuracy (100-106%), precision (CV < 7%), sample preparation stability (< or =5%, 72 h). Intra-laboratory patient ranges were established comparing children and adults (n 345).
