ABSTRACT: This work provides a multidimensional method for the simultaneous, direct quantification of intact human insulin and five insulin analogs in human plasma. This investigation solves both the selectivity and sensitivity problems encountered for accurate quantification of insulins in plasma since the former is not possible with conventional assays and the latter with conventional LC-MS/MS. The method uses a mixed-mode SPE and a multidimensional LC method including a solid-core particle column containing an anion exchange stationary phase. Matrix factors for all analogs were calculated in 6 sources of human plasma and CVs of the matrix factors were
