Development and validation of an alternative method for ergosterol determination in alder leaves using liquid-liquid extraction and LC-MS/MS after saponification by Björn Kusebauch, Stefan Bader, Steffen Carl

“…The method was validated for alder leaves at 10 µg/g dw (LOQ) and 500 µg/g dw with mean recoveries between 95.1 and 100.2 % (relative standard deviations < 10 %) and has been successfully applied for the measurement of fungicide effects on leaf litter associated aquatic fungi. • Selective and flexible analytical method for ergosterol quantification in alder leaves using LLE and LC-MS/MS instead of SPE and HPLC-UV • Optional use of 7-dehydrocholesterol as internal standard to allow for compensation of volumetric variations during sample preparation and signal drift in LC-MS/MS • Method validation for three mass transitions according to guidance document SANTE/2020/12830 including matrix effect evaluation and stability investigations…”
