Obtaining maximal sensitivity of nano UHPLC-MS/MS methods is primordial to quantify picomolar concentrations of neuropeptides in microdialysis samples. Since aspecific adsorption of peptides to Eppendorf tubes, pipette tips and UHPLC vials is detrimental for method sensitivity, a strategy is presented
