Sample analysis was performed using a system comprised of a UHPLC Vanquish pump, Vanquish Autosampler, Vanquish UHPLC+ column compartment, and ISQ EC mass spectrometer (ThermoFisherSci.), utilizing ThermoFisherScientific Dionex Chromeleon 7 Chromatography Data System software, as described [17 (link), 18 (link)]. A C18 column (4.6 mm ID X 100 mm L, 5 μm, 120 Å; Acclaim 120; ThermoFisherSci.) was used with a 0.25 mL/min. flow rate and 0.01–1 μL injection volume; the autosampler needle was washed with 10% (v/v) methanol (10 s) after each sample injection. Mobile phases A and B consisted of 10 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile, respectively. The isocratic mobile phase flow was characterized by a uniform concentration in acetonitrile 50% between 0 to 7 or 14 min.
