Smarter Sample Prep for Steroid & Hormone Testing

A Complete Guide to Bioanalytical Sample Preparation

You analyze a lot of biological samples. You deliver accurate, reliable data, consistently. You use sophisticated, high-end analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS or GC-MS. And the pressure is always there to do it faster, with greater sensitivity and, if possible, at lower cost. Sample preparation can be critical for success.

Achieving Low Level Detection of Clinical Samples Using LC-MS/MS Analysis Through Efficient Sample Preparation

The use of LC/MS analysis in the clinical lab has increased exponentially over the last 10 years. Modern mass spectrometers are extremely sensitive allowing low-level detection of many target analytes. However, this sensitivity can come at a price, in that levels of contamination not previously detected with less sensitive instruments can now have larger impact on analysis.
