An improved assay for platelet-activating factor using HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry

We describe an improved assay for platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) using HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The present method can readily detect as little as 1 pg (1.9 fmol) of PAF, a significant improvement over previously described LC-MS/MS m...
