Results of the binary comparison analysis for furosemide (the plot is scaled to the relative percentages of the identified fragments) Results of the binary comparison analysis for furosemide (the plot is scaled to the relative percentages of the identified fragments). The data have been generated using the binary compare tool in UNIFI and highlight the mass error between the standard (upper-trace) and the sample data (lower-trace).
Matrix effects for beta-blockers and diuretics Matrix effects for beta-blockers and diuretics. Mean matrix effects from 12 lots of urine were compared to matrix effects from 1:5 and 1:10 dilution of pooled blank urine in  97:2:1 H2O:ACN:formic acid. Even at 1:10 dilution, ion suppression was significantly increased  in the diluted samples compared to those prepared by SPE with the MAX µElution plate (N=12 for mean SPE matrix effects and N=4 for the diluted samples). Asterisks indicate compounds in which matrix effects were NOT different between SPE prepared and  diluted samples.
Data for benzthiazide in a blank urine sample that has been spiked at the WADA MRPL (200 ng/mL) Data for benzthiazide in a blank urine sample that has been spiked at the WADA MRPL (200 ng/mL); additional confirmation is achieved by the presence of three fragment ions in the high energy function.
