Beschreibungen/Notizen
A high‐throughput method has been developed for the doping control analysis of 124 drug targets, processing up to 154 horse urine samples in as short as 4.5 h, from the time the samples arrive at the laboratory to the reporting deadline of 30 min before the first race, including sample receipt and registration, preparation and instrument analysis and data vetting time. Sample preparation involves a brief enzyme hydrolysis step (30 min) to detect both free and glucuronide‐conjugated drug targets. This is followed by extraction using solid‐supported liquid extraction (SLE) and analysis using liquid chromatography–high‐resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS). The entire set‐up comprised of four sets of Biotage Extrahera automation systems for conducting SLE and five to six sets of Orbitrap for instrumental screening using LC–HRMS. Suspicious samples flagged were subject to confirmatory analyses using liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The method comprises 124 drug targets from a spectrum of 41 drug classes covering acidic, basic and neutral drugs. More than 85% of the targets had limits of detection at or below 5 ng/mL in horse urine, with the lowest at 0.02 ng/mL. The method was validated for qualitative identification, including specificity, sensitivity, extraction recovery and precision. Method applicability was demonstrated by the successful detection of different drugs, namely (a) butorphanol, (b) dexamethasone, (c) diclofenac, (d) flunixin and (e) phenylbutazone, in post‐race or out‐of‐competition urine samples collected from racehorses. This method was developed for pre‐race urine testing in Hong Kong; however, it is also suitable for testing post‐race or out‐of‐competition urine samples, especially when a quick total analysis time is desired.
A high‐throughput method has been developed for the doping control analysis of 124 drug targets, processing up to 154 horse urine samples within 4.5 hours inclusive of sample receipt and preparation as well as instrument analysis time. Urine sample was extracted using solid‐supported liquid extraction after 30 min enzyme hydrolysis and analysed by LC‐HRMS. This method was validated for qualitative identification purpose and adopted for pre‐race urine testing in Hong Kong.
