An LC-MS/MS method for the identification and quantification of antidepressants and antipsychotics was developed on dried blood spots (DBSs). Moreover, analyte stability on DBSs within a 3-month period was monitored. Aliquots of 85 µL of blood from autopsy cases were pipetted onto DBS cards, which were dried and stored at room temperature. DBSs were analyzed in triplicate immediately, within the following 3 weeks, and after 3 months. For each analysis, a whole blood stain was extracted in phosphate buffer and purified using Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) cartridges in order to avoid matrix effects and injected in the LC-MS/MS system. Thirty-nine molecules were screened. Limits of detection (LODs) ranged between 0.1 and 3.2 ng/mL (g) and 0.1 and 5.2 ng/mL (g) for antidepressants and antipsychotics, respectively. Limits of quantification (LOQs) varied from 5 to 10.0 ng/mL for both. Sixteen cases among the 60 analyzed resulted positive for 17 different analytes; for 14 of these the method was fully validated. A general good agreement between the concentrations on DBSs and those measured in conventional blood samples (collected concurrently and stored at −20 °C) was observed. The degradation/enhancement percentage for most of the substances was lower than 20% within the 3-month period. Our results, obtained from real post-mortem cases, suggest that DBSs can be used for routine sample storage.

Abstract We describe a microfluorometric method for determination of arginase activity in dried blood spots on filter paper. The arginase in discs punched from such dried blood specimens is activated by preincubation with Mn2+ at 37 degrees C. After incubation with substrate at the same temperature, urea is determined fluorometrically by oxidation of NADH to NAD+ in a coupled kinetic reaction. We compare the results of this method with those of a colorimetric method involving liquid blood samples, and assess the stability of the enzyme in dried blood on filter paper. The presence of serum has no effect on the activity. This method may be useful in the early detection of arginase deficiency and certain hematological disorders.
