Clinical laboratory use of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry

Abstract

Mass spectrometric methods, which transition from chemistry laboratories to clinical laboratories in the basic field, are frequently used in areas such as metabolic analysis, endocrinology, drug research, protein studies and toxicology. Although it is preferred more than immunoassay methods in large-volume laboratories, in certain analyses, it is thought to be an important keystone in clinical laboratory practice. It has found more space in the laboratory area, with users increasing their device experience and working on the applications of problematic tests. It has the potential to take part in metabolic mapping and multiplex analysis, especially in proteomics, with its performance.
