d enrichment of the analyte concentration, and a large injection volume (150 L) representing 75% of the extracted sample.^[6] In contrast, using the TSQ Quantum, superior cabergoline sensitivity was achieved with minimally-treated samples and a much smaller injection volume (5 L). Thus, the detection limit for cabergoline on the TSQ Quantum is almost 20 times lower than that attained on the TSQ 7000.^[6,8,11] The calibration curve for cabergoline obtained on the TSQ Quantum shows a linear dynamic range covering 5 orders of magnitude (1 x 10⁵) with a correlation coefficient of R > 0.999 using a weighting factor of 1/x (Figure 4). Intra-assay accuracy and precision was evaluated for n >= 5 samples at each calibration level. The accuracy and precision numbers obtained over this extended linear dynamic range are shown in Table 1. The LLOQ (50 fg on column) had an accuracy (%RE) and precision (%CV) of 13.6% and 9.3% respectively. The %RE and %CV for all the other calibration levels (0.5 pg to 5000 pg on column) ranged from -7.5% to 1.6% and 0.5 to 8.4%, respectively. The linear dynamic range for the TSQ Quantum is considerably broader than that achievable on the TSQ 7000 (which was less than 2 orders of magnitude for this assay).^[6,7] The significance of this extended linear dynamic range is that a single method can now be developed for cabergoline for application in both low and high dose pharmacokinetic analyses.

It is typical for the response of older generation mass spectrometers to be nonlinear and/or for detector saturation to occur for linear dynamic ranges as low as 3 orders of magnitude. This is particularly problematic for assays where drugs and their metabolites are present in vastly different concentrations and for the ana
