Description:Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCAA) are listed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as harmful or potentially harmful constituents of tobacco smoke. However, quantifying HCAA exposure is challenging. In this study, we developed a sensitive, precise, and accurate isotope dilution, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantify urinary HCAAs in smokers and nonsmokers. The high-throughput robotic sample preparation system could handle a throughput of over 300 samples per day, while maintaining intra-day and inter-day imprecision and bias ≤10 %. The limits of detection of carcinogenic HCAAs ranged from 0.31 to 0.83 pg/mL. The validated method was applied to measure HCAAs in urine collected from smokers and non-smokers. This sensitive and efficient analytical method is ideal to support large-scale biomonitoring studies of HCAA exposure. Graphical Abstract LC/MS/MS and robotic sample preparation system for urinary HCAA analysis.
