Abstract
ID-LC-MS/MS methods are increasingly used as reference for routine methods, but actually the characteristics of such reference methods (RM) are so far not conclusively specified. A RM concept specifically for ID-LC/MS was developed, including three key elements: 1. Standardized method description – differentiating between essential characteristics (such as recorded mass transitions) and variable features that realistically can not be standardized over time (such as lot of columns). 2. Standardized structure of analytical series, including several features for performance verification (e.g., addressing matrix effects). 3. Based on this, a series-related validation concept according to pre-defined criteria as essential characteristic of the RM. This novel approach was successfully applied to a RM for the quantification of linezolid in serum.
