Be someone's hero. Clinical research webinar series.

One of the major challenges for adopting LC-MS technology is the limited throughput and automation compared to typical clinical chemistry instruments. This is an important issue because in the areas of toxicology, endocrinology, and therapeutic drug monitoring there are some important applications for which there are no commercial solutions. Laboratory developed tests using LC-MS and other technologies are needed to bridge this gap. In this webinar we discuss the opportunities and challenges for LC-MS in the clinical research laboratory, and describe ways that TurboFlow technology and multi-channel LC-MS systems increase efficiency and throughput. Examples will include methods to measure plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration, rapid quantification of morphine and metabolites, and high-throughput quantification of antidepressant drugs.

Learning Objectives:

  • Simplifying measurements of plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration
  • Rapid quantification of morphine and metabolites
  • High-throughput quantification of antidepressant drugs
  • Online sample cleanup and preparation using TurboFlow technology
  • Increasing efficiency and throughput using multi-channel LC-MS systems

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
