“…Ye et al used a mixture of methanol and ACN as the organic mobile phase, to minimize phospholipid-related matrix effects and maintain high sample throughput (Ye et al, 2011). Recently, an ultra-fast gradient approach also referred to as a "ballistic" gradient, allowed for analysis cycle times of 2 minutes or less (Romanyshyn and Tiller, 2001;Romanyshyn et al, 2000). Tiller and Romanyshyn studied matrix effects encountered using ultra-fast gradients and fast isocratic methods.…”
