This rapid, 9-minute acylcarnitines LC-MS\/MS analysis allows testing of 25 underivatized acylcarnitines, including several isobaric compounds that are essential for differential diagnosis. A Raptor ARC-18 column (100 x 2.1 mm, 2.7 \u00b5m) used under the established conditions provided chromatographic separation of key isobars that shared MRM transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carnitine (Figure 1) is a quaternary ammonium compound that is required for fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation. In the body, it can exist either in free form or bind with fatty acids to form acylcarnitines. It can also vary in chain length from shorter acetyl chains to longer palmitoyl chains (Figure 2) [1].<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div class=\"figure-heading\"><strong>Figure 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Chemical structure of carnitine.<\/div><div class='chromatogram-article-inner-full'><div class=\"chromatogram-article-inner\">\n<style>.kb-image39968_9fb629-c8 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image39968_9fb629-c8\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-18736\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01-768x85.jpg 768w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_01.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div class=\"figure-heading\"><strong>Figure 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Acylcarnitines exist in two forms: short chain and long chain.<\/div><div class='chromatogram-article-inner-full'><div class=\"chromatogram-article-inner\">\n<style>.kb-image39968_100b51-2c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image39968_100b51-2c\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02-1024x327.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-18742\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02-1024x327.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02-768x245.jpg 768w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02-1536x491.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/discover.restek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure_article_cfan4029_02.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many different organic acid and fatty acid oxidation disorders can be diagnosed using acylcarnitine profiles in blood or plasma samples. Acylcarnitines are especially important in newborn testing, which has become mandatory in many places [2]. It is important for testing to be done as soon as possible because if proper treatment is prescribed early, it can greatly reduce the risk of long-term effects. Some of these disorders present later in life, but in most cases, accurate newborn screening and early treatment can minimize their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restek previously developed a rapid screening method for acylcarnitines using a Raptor HILIC-Si EXP guard column cartridge [3]. That method can improve productivity by allowing combined screening of acylcarnitines and amino acids without derivatization, but it does not provide chromatographic separation of several compounds that are used for differential diagnosis. While high-throughput screening methods are valuable, the method developed here takes a different approach and focuses on the chromatographic separation of several key acylcarnitines that are used for diagnosing different disorders [2]. In addition, while methods have been developed using either underivatized or derivatized sample preparation techniques [4], this method was developed without derivatization in order to simplify and speed up sample preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experimental<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Plasma Samples<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For plasma, 100 \u00b5L of sample was added to a microcentrifuge tube along with 5 \u00b5L of internal standard (5 ng\/mL of internal standard working stock containing the D3 internal standards shown in Table I). Next the sample was vortexed for 10 seconds. After vortexing, the samples were incubated for 10 minutes at ambient temperature. Following incubation, 300 \u00b5L of methanol was added to each sample, and the samples were vortexed again for 10 seconds. The samples were then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 4000 rpm. Finally, 100 \u00b5L of the supernatant was aliquoted into a vial containing 900 \u00b5L of mobile phase A (0.1% formic acid in water) and vortexed for 10 seconds before being injected into the LC-MS\/MS for analysis. While a 10x final dilution was appropriate for the instrument used here, a different dilution factor may be necessary for instruments with lower or higher sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Calibration Standards and Quality Control Samples<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Preliminary experiments determined that plasma would not be a suitable matrix for the standards and QC samples used for method evaluation due to the endogenous levels of acylcarnitine. For this reason, multiple surrogate matrices were investigated and 100 \u00b5g\/mL of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in water was found to be the best surrogate matrix. Calibration and QC stock solutions were then made across a 25\u20135000 ng\/mL concentration range in 1000 \u00b5L of BSA, and 100 \u00b5L of each solution was added to a microcentrifuge tube and processed following the same sample preparation procedure that was previously described for the plasma samples. Note that not all compounds were included when evaluating method performance. Instead, C5-valeryl-L-carnitine was chosen as a representative analyte for the quantitative and standard addition experiments due to its mid-range polarity and presence in a group of isomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Instrument Conditions<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysis of acylcarnitines by LC-MS\/MS was performed on a Shimadzu Nexera UHPLC paired with a SCIEX 4500 MS\/MS using the following instrument conditions and the analyte transitions presented in Table I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px\"><tbody><tr><td>Column:<\/td><td>Raptor ARC-18 (2.7 \u00b5m, 100 mm x 2.1 mm ID [cat.# 9314A12])<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Guard column:<\/td><td>Raptor ARC-18 EXP guard column cartridge (2.7 \u00b5m, 5 mm x 2.1 mm [cat.# 9314A0252])<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Column temp.:<\/td><td>35 \u00b0C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Injection volume:<\/td><td>3 \u00b5L<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mobile phase A:<\/td><td>0.1% Formic acid in water<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mobile phase B:<\/td><td>0.1% Formic acid in acetonitrile:isopropanol (90:10)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Time (min)   |   %B<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>0.00 | 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>4.00 | 12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>6.00 | 100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>7.50 | 100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>8.00 | 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td>9.00 | stop<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flow rate:<\/td><td>0.6 mL\/min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ion mode:<\/td><td>Positive ESI<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table I: <\/strong>Ion transitions for acylcarnitines LC-MS\/MS analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table style=\"border-width:1px\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Analyte<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Precursor<br>Ion<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Product<br>Ion<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C0-L-carnitine<\/td><td>162.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C0-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>165.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C2-Acetyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>204.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C2-Acetyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>207.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Methyl-malonyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>262.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Methylmalonyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>265.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C3-Propionyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>218.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C3-Propionyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>221.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-Hydroxyisovaleryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>262.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-Hydroxyisovaleryl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>265.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C4-Isobutyryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>232.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C4-Isobutyryl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>235.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C4-Butyryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>232.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C4-Butyryl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>235.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-Methylcrotonyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>244.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-Methylcrotonyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>247.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C5:1-Tigyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>244.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2-Methylbutyryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>246.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C5-Isovaleryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>246.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C5-Isovaleryl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>249.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C5-Valeryl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>246.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C5-Valeryl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>249.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C6-Hexanoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>260.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C6-Hexanoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>263.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C7-Heptanoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>274.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C8-Octanoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>288.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C8-Octanoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>291.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C10-Decanoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>316.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C10-Decanoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>319.2<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C12-Lauroyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>344.5<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C12-Lauroyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>347.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C14:2-Tetradecadienoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>368.5<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C14:1 Tetradecanoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>369.8<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C14-Myristoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>372.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C14-Myristoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>375.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C16:1 Palmitolelyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>398.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C16-Palmitoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>400.5<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C16-Palmitoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>403.3<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C18:2 Linoleoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>424.1<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C18:1 Oleoyl-L-carnitine<\/td><td>426.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C18-Oleoyl-L-carnitine-D3<\/td><td>429.4<\/td><td>85.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C18 &#8211;

Some of these include the separation of C4-butyryl-L-carnitine from C4-isobutyryl-L-carnitine for the diagnosis of butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency versus isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. This separation can be seen in Figure 4 along with the separation of C5-valeryl-L-carnitine, C5-isovaleryl-L-carnitine, and 2-methyl-butyryl-L-carnitine. The separation of these critical isobars is easily achieved on a Raptor ARC-18 column in a 9-minute run, which allows higher sample throughput compared to the 20+ minute runs observed in some literature for this type of isobaric separation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-custom-chromatogram-article-top\"><div class=\"chromatogram-article-placeholder\"><div

Separation of critical pairs was achieved in a fast, 9-minute run, allowing high throughput analysis that can support differential diagnosis. Method performance testing demonstrated acceptable method precision, accuracy, and linearity, and the standard addition experiment showed that BSA is a suitable surrogate matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Giesbertz, J.
