Hi,
Does the % recovery of a drug in plasma changes with the column used? I feel it
should not as recovery is related to the extraction procedure and no to column.
Drug is highly polar in nature. Pl let me know your thoughts on this.

yes,
the extraction efficiency determines your % recovery in studies like
plasma protein binding etc; if all other parameters like tailing, or
asymmetry and P&A batch are in-line with bioanalytical rules. But an
recent study on the role of recoveries in plasma protein binding
studies with apparatus like equilibrium dialysis indicates that the
recovery has a small role to play in determining the test
procedure..But this has to be worked in detail yet.
the reference is
Impact of recovery on fraction unbound using equilibrium dialysis
(journal of pharmaceutical sciences).

Yunus,
It may change if it is evaluated against neat solution and Mass is the detector.
With different columns, there could be a change in elution pattern of matrix
ions as well, which may interfere in ionization of drug. But if it is evaluated
against extracted matrix spiked with respective conc. then it should not affect
the % recovery.
Please confirm my observations.
Thanks and regards,

Run extracted vs non extracted (extraction buffer or loading
solution). One is never sure what the extracted matrix contains. To
limit uncertainty, compare extracted sample response vs target
concentration in extraction buffer and/or loading solution for column.

Jignesh/Edward/Vijay,
Thanks for your response. Probably what Jignesh said in his response ("But if it
is evaluated against extracted matrix spiked with respective conc. then it
should not affect the % recovery") sounds logical.
Let me reframe my question again for better clarity. When an extracted matrix
(spiked with analyte) is injected into LCMSMS using one column (e.g. Phenomenex)
and similar (or same) matrix later reinjected using another column (e.g. YMC
PACK, both columns are similar in nature), and when respective % recovery
calculated w.r.t neat solution, does the % plasma recovery remains same?
Thanks for your inputs.

essentially it should be the same ( if mobile phase and solvent of
extraction are kept constant), because extraction technique is
something related to the organic solvent used and the capacity of the
solvent to extraction the whole amount of drug bound to the matrix.
So, it should be the same..according to me and my experience in
calculation of percent recoveries.

"But if it is evaluated against extracted matrix spiked with respective conc.
then it should not affect the % recovery", here first extract the blank matrix,
reconstitute/elute with specified solvent and then spike with respective conc.
Treat this as reference for %recovery evaluation using different column.
Comparison of extracted samples with neat solution using different column may
result in different recovery.

Dear Yunus,
I would like to add, that recovery variation depends on lot many factors when to
be estimated on two different make of columns
Purity of silica (metal ions, etc.)
Carbon loading (Impacting the retention of analyte and matrix)
pH range (may be same, but may effect the Si-OH differently depending on the
purity of silica)
Column conditioning (sufficient time)
Column stabilization with pure neat and or extracted samples (sufficient number
of samples)
Different retention time on both column
Retention and elution of matrix on column
Finally the suitability of optimized source parameters, leading to stable
ionization &
Source stabilization
Evaluating all these factors shall give you sound idea about your method of
extraction and method of analysis.
Hence the response to your query is that, the recovery may or may not remain
same when trying to estimate it on two same but different make of column.
Thanks
Best Regards

Dear Yunus,
If you change the column and re-evaluated the recovery of same spiked samples
against analyte in solution, it may results in change in recovery. If the peak
is eluting on one column in presence of matrix and on another colum , it is
seperating from matrix componant.Then this results in diffrential matrix effect
on same sample on two different columns and eventually it will come out
difference in recovery. I hope, it may help.
Thanks & Best Regards
