title: Application of selected reaction monitoring tandem mass spectrometry to the quantitative determination of an arsenic-containing nucleoside in a crude biological extract.
abstract: HPLC electrospray selected reaction monitoring tandem mass spectrometry was used for the determination of a key arsenic metabolite, 5'-dimethylarsinoyladenosine, at trace levels (ca. 20 microg As l(-1)) in a crude extract of kidney from the clam Tridacna derasa.
