Common concerns with using conventional chromatography-based mass spectrometry (MS) include time-consuming protocols, experiment backlogs, high costs per sample, equipment downtime for maintenance and the need for experienced technicians.
Using paper spray ionization techniques, and the Thermo Scientific™ VeriSpray™ PaperSpray ion source, researchers in clinical and forensic toxicology labs with highthroughput requirements can now perform direct mass spectrometry-based analyses with minimal solvent consumption and sample prep, thereby saving costs per test and reducing the time involved.
