Popis: Voriconazole is a triazole broad-spectrum antifungal medication often used to treat fungal infections caused by Aspergillus and Fusarium species. One of the main challenges associated with the implementation of this medication is its narrow therapeutic concentration range, demonstrating toxicity at concentrations above 6μg/mL and limited efficacy at concentrations below 2μg/mL. As a result, methodologies which permit the rapid and accurate quantitation of voriconazole in patients are highly desirable. In this work two different approaches based on coated blade spray directly coupled to mass spectrometry (CBS-MS) are introduced; each enabling the quantitation of voriconazole in plasma samples with a simple and fast sample preparation and no chromatographic step. The first approach involves a rapid extraction (1min) of the target analyte from 300μL of human plasma using conventional laboratory vessels (e.g. vial, 96-well plate). Alternatively, the second strategy consists of a 2min extraction from a plasma droplet (10μL) placed on the coated area of the blade. Both procedures were successfully validated and good linearity (R2≥0.998), accuracy (91-122%) and precision (
