PDE5-005

they are linear from 50 to 1000 ppm in the sample. The

consumables are inexpensive. The cost of the DART

itself, compared with other DART instruments on the

market, is reasonable. It would still need a highly skilled

operator for the instrument.

Method Clarity

The method is very clear and easy to follow. All the

parameters necessary for operation of the mass

spectrometer are included in the method and easy to

use.

Pros/Strengths

small sample size, easy extraction, ease of automation,

use of MS/MS for selectivity and sensitivity, very low

LOD, ability to do triggered MRM's.

Cons/Weaknesses

Needs the use of a highly skilled operator.

Supporting Data

General Comments

The data is easy and straight forward. The experimental

conditions are outlined and straight forward. It uses

internal standards to help with the Quantitation. The

method is very specific and very selective.

Method Optimization

The optimization is very clear and straight forward. It has

been optimized for the compounds of interest molecular

mass.
