Clinical Research Mass Spectrometry

Clinical research laboratories are discovering the analytical power of LC/MS/MS solutions from AB SCIEX. Upgrade your clinical research with innovative methods & get a competitive edge.

Enabling LC/MS/MS solutions to push the limits in clinical research

Clinical research laboratories throughout the world are discovering the analytical power of LC/MS/MS and its ability to accurately identify and quantify minute amounts of compounds in complex sample matrices such as blood, urine and oral fluid.

Increasingly, innovative mass spectrometry methods are being used in place of conventional analysis for a wide variety of research applications, including the accurate quantitation of trace levels of hormones, steroid panels, vitamin D, drugs of abuse, pain panels or immunosuppressants.

As the leader in mass spec, AB SCIEX is working closely with clinical research laboratories throughout the world to develop these and other research applications for this fast, sensitive and robust technology. AB SCIEX offers complete solutions for research laboratories combining industry-leading systems, software and pre-configured methods with comprehensive service and support, that will help you get up and running quickly when implementing mass spec in the clinical research laboratory.

Mass spectrometers are general purpose laboratory instruments for research use only. They have not been cleared or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any other agency, or under the European IVD Directive, for diagnostic or other clinical use.
