Monitoring 5-Fluorouracil Levels in Dried Blood Spots with UHPLC-MS/MS
Researchers have utilized ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UH PLC-MS/MS) to monitor 5-Fluorouracil, a medication used to treat various cancers, in dried blood spots. This process offers a simpler, more efficient method than those in place involving the monitoring of plasma.
Vitamin D Determination Tested Using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
May 2nd 2024Scientists from Hangzhou Medical College recently recorded the effectiveness of novel quality control strategies for the determination of vitamin D using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS).
In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Paola Tiedemann, PhD, an assistant professor of chemistry at Texas Tech University, discusses her laboratory group’s work using headspace sampling techniques like solid phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC–MS) to chemically characterize odor volatiles from a range of forensic specimens.
