According to the American Clinical Laboratory Association, more than 7 billion clinical lab tests are performed in the U.S. every year. While mass spectrometry represents only a fraction of the clinical applications, there are a growing number of tests where mass spectrometry is becoming the analytical method of choice. This is particularly the case where accuracy is challenged by interference from other compounds, such as toxicology testing, therapeutic drug monitoring, and in the measurement of low-level endogenous steroids.
This trend shift is driven by the analytical specificity of mass spectrometry as well as the advancement of this technology along with the development of new applications. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a particularly powerful, accurate, and robust technique for clinical diagnostics, especially for quantitative analysis of low concentration compounds. When comparing to conventional analytical techniques, the unique capabilities of mass spectrometry makes it is easy to see why mass spectrometry adoption is accelerating and beginning to play a prominent role in more areas of medicine.
As more labs make the move to mass spec, we look at the top five reasons why:

With the launch of the ZenoTOF 8600 system, EAD has taken a significant leap forward in becoming a routine tool for metabolomics and lipidomics workflows. Building on the foundation laid by the ZenoTOF 7600 system, the 8600 system introduces enhanced sensitivity, function speed improvements, and multimodal capabilities that make EAD more practical and scalable for daily use. This blog explores how these advancements are transforming EAD from a specialized technique into a robust and accessible solution for high-throughput structural analysis, enabling researchers to unlock deeper insights with greater efficiency.
In your lab, time is not just a resource. It’s a necessity and every moment counts. Yet, unplanned downtime can disrupt this delicate balance. Even a brief interruption can set your team back in multiple ways.
In a recent webinar, which is now available on-demand, Holly Lee powerful strategies to tackle complex residue testing. From boosting throughput to fine-tuning method sensitivity, Holly shared key ways to maximize performance across large pesticide panels.
