We review recently developed isotope dilution methods using discharge-assisted thermospray (plasmaspray) liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for determination of total cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, and urea in human serum. We have optimized the analytical conditions and discussed the analytical performances of the LC/MS methods. With an optimal conditions, the relative standard deviation of LC/MS methods was between 0.5 and 1.3%. We could conclude that the LC/MS method has the advantage in its simplicity of sample preparation, compared with the GC/MS, and could be a useful technique in IDMS analysis.

Key words: Isotope dilution mass spectrometry, Discharge-assisted thermospray liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, Cholesterol, Glucose, Creatinine, Urea, Human serum
