Clinical mass spectrometry for therapeutic drug monitoring

In the last decade, clinical mass spectrometry use cases are spreading rapidly. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the practice of monitoring therapeutic efficacy and side effects when a patient is undergoing treatment. This is especially important in drug therapy regimes where there could be concerns about potentially toxic symptoms, drug interactions, or other serious issues.

Dr Brett McWhinney on transforming steroids testing with clinical mass spectrometry

Steroid hormones have historically been measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) but in recent decades, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been the preferred diagnostic method, primarily due to its flexibility in terms of sample preparation. In his talk at the Re-imagining Mass Spectrometry Symposium, Dr Brett McWhinney, Supervising Chief Scientist at Analytical

Clinical mass spectrometry at Singapore General Hospital: insights from a tertiary hospital laboratory

Clinical mass spectrometry at Singapore General Hospital: insights from a tertiary hospital laboratory

Prior to the early 2000s, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) was primarily used for pharmaceutical, environmental and biomolecular research. In recent years, however, some healthcare institutions started leveraging this technology for clinical applications too. One example is Singapore General Hospital (SGH), the largest and oldest public healthcare institution in Singapore, which began its
