LC-MS/MS allows for many measurands monitoring different mass transitions simultaneously. So far, such alternative mass transitions are usually assessed as "quantifier and qualifier ions" in order to rule out interferences in individual samples. However, quantification can also be based on assessment of alternative mass transitions for both the measurand and its internal standard, with two distinct results for one injection of an individual sample. These paired results can be averaged. The aim of this study was to determine the potential impact of this averaging approach on measurement imprecision.
