Simultaneous determination of vancomycin and creatinine in plasma applied to volumetric absorptive microsampling devices using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Andriguetti et al.
The finding, in our words
The authors validated an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneously measuring vancomycin and creatinine from plasma applied to VAMS devices, reporting acceptable precision and accuracy with both analytes stable for up to two weeks at 45 degrees Celsius, though VAMS concentrations required correction factors to estimate plasma levels. This supports wider access to vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring in resource-limited settings by enabling ambient transport of dried plasma microsamples.
