Expert insights

Tandem mass spectrometry is the detection method of choice when analytical specificity and speed of analysis is needed. Flow-injection analysis tandem mass spectrometry (FIA-MS/MS) enables the rapid and multiplexed screening of compounds, in a single injection. When FIA takes the place of liquid chromatography separations, what else can you do to ensure data is of the very highest quality, as demanded in a clinical setting?

By understanding how sample preparation, analytical methods and instrument settings can influence results, it becomes possible to address the causes of between- and within-laboratory variation in FIA-MS/MS methods.

This webinar, led by FIA-MS/MS expert Dr. Heather Brown, will highlight the benefits and limitations of the technique, followed by a detailed description of factors influencing variability in FIA-MS/MS data.

The audience will take away ideas for designing system suitability testing procedures for their own workflow, to enable sample and instrument-issues to be identified before they impact service.

Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
