Results and Discussion
The LC-ESI/SRM chromatograms for 3-aminophenylsul-
fone and digoxin for a blank serum sample and a blank
serum sample spiked at 0.5 ng/mL are shown in Figures
2A and 2B respectively. Identification of digoxin was
achieved with two characteristic SRM transitions and
their relative retention time.
Linearity
Calibration curve obtained for digoxin spiked in serum
samples is presented in Figure 3. Concentration range was
comprised between 0.5 ng/mL and 100 ng/mL.
