The use of online heart-cutting high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry in the identification of impurities in vidarabine monophosphate

It is difficult to identify unknown impurities in nucleotide analogues by mass spectrometry because mass‐spectrometry‐incompatible mobile phases need to be used to separate the major ingredient from impurities. In this study, vidarabine monophosphate was selected, and unknown impurities were identified by online heart‐cutting two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography and linear ion trap mass spectrometry. The one‐dimensional...
