description This study developed a detection method based on the strategy of HPLC/MS<sup>3</sup> and verified its suitability by quantifying carbamazepine in human plasma. The high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS<sup>3</sup>) system was performed using a Shimadzu UFLC XR liquid chromatography and a SCIEX QTRAP<sup>®</sup> 5500 linear ion trap triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The specific operation was as follows: the sample protein was firstly precipitated using methanol, then carbamazepine and carbamazepine-D<sub>2</sub>N<sup>15</sup> were separated on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column using the gradient elution with solvent A (0.1% formic acid) and solvent B (0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile) at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. Each sample was run for 7 min. This method was validated for various parameters including accuracy, precision, selectivity, linearity, LLOQ, etc. Only 5 μL of sample plasma could obtain the result of LLOD 0.5 µg/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision was <8.23%, and accuracy was between −1.74% and 2.92%. This method was successfully used for monitoring the blood concentration of epilepsy patients after carbamazepine treatment.
