Mass Spectrometry Solutions for Clinical Research

Mass Spectrometry Applications for Clinical Research

Boost your performance, confidence and productivity

Clinical research laboratories around the world continue to look for robust, reliable analytical instruments that can offer confident results in the shortest possible time. Liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) offers every user in a clinical research environment the ability to develop reproducible, sensitive analytical methods. These research methods can address molecules of any type, regardless of matrix complexity or user expertise. From clinical translational research to sports anti-doping, LC-MS continues to gain widespread popularity as the analytical technique of choice.

LC-MS clinical categories

Clinical Research

Discover our LC-MS research applications for endocrinology such as estrogens, clinical research biomarkers such as insulin, and therapeutic drug research for immunosuppressants.

Clinical Translational Research

Find easy-to-use and reliable solutions, for assays discovering biomarkers in protein, lipid and metabolite quantitation, and inborn errors of metabolism.

Chromatography & Mass Spectrometry Instruments

Find all the necessary tools for running a clinical research assay: UHPLC, GC-MS, triple quadrupole and high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) mass spectrometers, columns and consumables.

Software & Data Management

Develop methods, acquire and process data and report out results with Thermo Scientific LC-MS software. Connect with your laboratory information system (LIS) and examine MS/MS libraries to confirm analyte identity in complicated matrices.

Innovative Technologies

Investigate Thermo Scientific solutions to learn how they can help your assays become faster, have simpler sample prep and reduce cost for all types of analytes, in any biological matrix.

Forensic Toxicology

Drugs of abuse: Reliable analysis through Orbitrap mass spectrometry

This application compendium presents a guide to rapid, easy and accurate screening and quantitation of targeted and untargeted compounds using high-resolution accurate mass LC-MS technology.

Paper spray ionization the faster path to mass spec analysis

Using paper spray ionization techniques, and the Thermo Scientific VeriSpray PaperSpray ion source, researchers in clinical research and forensic toxicology labs with high throughput requirements can now perform direct mass spectrometry-based analyses with minimal solvent consumption and sample preparation.

Maximize throughput with multichannel liquid chromatography

Eliminate idle time, increase efficiency and throughput, and automate sample preparation with multichannel liquid chromatography technology, which increases mass spectrometer (MS) utilization by engaging two or four separate LC channels with one MS.
