Excerpt

In the last decade a great deal of data were produced by the scientific community on the analytical improvements introduced by liquid chromatography—tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the research and clinical fields. This technology is nowadays recognized as the most promising for the quantitation of small molecules in biological fluids. LC-MS/MS combines the practicability of LC and the inherent elevated sensitivity and specificity of MS. Its potential in terms of improved practicability and sample throughput represent the hope for a definitive reconciliation between quality, economy and productivity of assays for clinical laboratories. …
