PG - 120172 LID - S0039-9140(19)30804-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.talanta.2019.120172 [doi] AB - Derivatization is frequently used in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to improve the ionization characteristics of analytes, and facilitate their structural elucidation and quantification. However, the off-line derivatization process usually requires more analysis time. Therefore, the present work develops a novel LC/post-column derivatization (PCD)/MS (LC-PCD-MS) method for rapid detection of aldehydes in complex samples. The PCD method is based on a bisulfite addition reaction with aldehydes that can be easily conducted by mixing the LC elute with an (NH(4))(2)SO(3) solution via a tee. The resulting derivatives readily produce diagnostic HSO(3)(-) ions under collision induced dissociation (CID) in the negative ion mode of MS, even at an extremely low CID energy such as 1 eV, which can significantly improve the detection selectivity of aldehydes and reduce the occurrence of false positives. The limits of detection (LODs) of hexanal and heptanal were 3 nM and 2 nM, respectively. Moreover, good linearity in the concentration range of 0.01-1 muM for hexanal and heptanal was obtained with the determination coefficient (R(2)) being greater than 0.996 and the intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 13.5% and 17.9%, respectively, indicating the acceptable reproducibility of the method. The LC-PCD-MS method was successfully applied for the rapid quantification of aldehydes in human urine and solvent extracts of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Furthermore, a precursor ion scan strategy based on the diagnostic HSO(3)(-) ion was also developed and applied for the preliminary screening of aldehydes in complex samples of cinnamon and lemongrass.
