Event Overview:
Over the last 10 years Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) has been adopted by many clinical laboratories and been successfully implemented as the technology has become more robust, reliable and affordable. LC/MS/MS offers many technical and financial advantages for the clinical laboratory and is now seen as a complementary and in some cases a viable alternative to immunoassays. The fundamentals of tandem mass spectrometry and its clinical applications (newborn screening and Vitamin D) will be discussed along with some of the key advantages of the technology which have led to the successful adoption of the technique into clinical laboratories.
Learning Objectives of Webinar
- Gain a basic understanding of Tandem Mass Spectrometry technology
- Appreciate the key benefits of Tandem Mass Spectrometry when compared to immunoassay
- Understand how LC/MS/MS is used to perform newborn screening and Vitamin D testing
