A highly sensitive Liquid Chromatography-Triple Quadrupole Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for
simultaneous determination of analgesic-antipyretics drugs, e.g. Paracetamol (PC), Propyphenazone (PZ), Aspirin
(AS) and Caffeine (CF), in white wine samples was presented. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a
narrow C18 column by a gradient elution using Acetonitrile (A) and 10 mM ammonium acetate with 0.1% formic
acid (B) as the solvents at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of PC, PZ and CF were
achieved by Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) in positive mode, while the analysis of AS was completed by
MRM in negative mode. Under optimal conditions, good linearity with high correlation coefficient (>0.9981) were
obtained between 0.05-50 ng mL-1 for PC, 0.005-20 g mL-1 for PZ, 0.3-200 g mL-1.. View more»
