I
n pharmaceutical analysis, the use of mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to liquid chromatography in quality control has
become very significant. This is observed in i. a. the European Pharmacopoeia, where this technique is already incorporated
in different general texts as well as specific monographs. Here, often (GMP) single quadMS platforms can be used, characterized
by acceptable low costs, easy-to-use smooth lab-integration, increased efficiency and providing additional detection possibilities
over a traditional UV/VIS detector. Single quad mass spectrometers also work well as analytical tools for the detection of low-
abundant genotoxic impurities and their basic confirmation. Moreover, also in drug development, this detector can be useful:
low UV-detectable impurities, obtained during synthesis, formulation or after degradation, can be analyzed, even in complex
matrices. In developmental quality control of complex mixtures (e.g. plant extracts), the UPLC-single quad MS platform was
found to be of great use in transdermal research as well.
