Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are endogenous ligands of the endocannabinoid system that are known to regulate several physiological and behavioral processes. Previous studies have developed methods for the detection of main eCBs including arachidonylethanolamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), mostly in serum or plasma. Whole blood is a superior biomaterial for eCBs analysis owing to the nature of the shortened isolation procedure and decreased risk of 2-AG isomerization during preparation. In this study, a surrogate analyte-based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay was developed for the measurement of AEA, 2-AG and its isomer 1-arachidonoylglycerol (1-AG) using a maximum of 100 mu L whole blood. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a reverse-phase column and a gradient elution. Detection was performed in selected reaction monitoring mode with an electrospray ionization source. The limits of detection of three eCBs were 0.05-0.1 ng/mL. Good linearity was observed over the concentration range. Intra- and inter-assay accuracy and precision were
