Brace Yourselves: The Shift to Mass Spectrometry for Clinical Analysis

There is a shifting trend in the analytical platform from immunoassay to mass spectrometry in clinical research and diagnostic lab in the past decade.

This growing trend of mass spectrometry application in clinical lab is due to the superior selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometers. More importantly, mass spectrometry can analyse multiple compounds in a single analysis using much lesser sample amount compared to immunoassay. The application of mass spectrometry in various clinical analysis using Shimadzu’s Ultra Fast Mass Spectrometry (UFMS) Technology will be discussed in this webinar. Lastly, Shimadzu latest innovative technology in clinical automation and rapid screening will also be highlighted.

Learning Objectives:

• Introduction, background and advantages of mass spectrometry in clinical labs

• Understand how you can use LC-MS/MS in various clinical analyses

• Understand Shimadzu’s latest innovative technology in clinical automation and rapid screening.
