Comparison of whole blood and precipitated blood for the quantitation of drugs of abuse using PaperSpray
13 Nov 2023This application note from Thermo Fisher Scientific details a study where PaperSpray-MS was used to analyze 21 drugs of abuse in methanol, whole blood, and precipitated blood to determine the utility of protein precipitation. PaperSpray-MS is a technique for rapidly quantifying analytes in dried matrix spots such as whole blood. Little or no sample preparation is required, and sample analysis times are two minutes or less. The Thermo Scientific™ VeriSpray™ PaperSpray ion source system utilizes PaperSpray technology to make clinical research workflows faster and more efficient by combining ease-of-use and increased automation with the speed that PaperSpray technology provides.
