Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has gained significant attention in the clinical laboratory due to its ability to provide best-in-class sensitivity and specificity for the detection of clinically relevant analytes across a wide range of assays. For clinical laboratories new to LC-MS/MS, integrating this technology into their daily routine operations may seem like a daunting task. Developing a clear outline and defining the requirements needed to implement LC-MS/MS into your daily operations is critical to maximize the productivity and success of your clinical laboratory.
Below are four easy steps to follow to ensure a seamless integration of this new technology. Each step includes useful resources and considerations to help your laboratory prepare for the successful implementation of mass spectrometry.
Laboratory space readiness is the first step to successfully implementing LC-MS/MS in your laboratory’s operations. As you prepare to receive your new SCIEX instrument, consult your SCIEX preparation guide to ensure you have adequate infrastructure and space to meet the following requirements:
Step 2: Ensure the appropriate IT infrastructure is in place to support your laboratory’s operation
Determining the IT requirements for your SCIEX instruments and the data they generate is key to a successful implementation. Be sure you understand your IT requirements so you can have the necessary IT network and infrastructure in place to fully support the data you acquire. These requirements include:

As analytical organizations grow, there is an even greater need to train scientists and operators more consistently to meet tight deadlines, handle increasing samples, and meet data quality expectations. A high rate of employee turnover also affects the productivity of labs worldwide. Consistent training helps today’s labs stay competitive, whether the goal is sample throughput, therapeutic development, or publication.
A few years ago, I was plotting along in my analytical job and keeping up-to-date with residue regulations took a considerable amount of time, but it was always manageable. Nowadays, we have PFAS.
Produced by certain moulds, thriving in crops such as grain, nuts and coffee, mycotoxins have contaminated agriculture and food production industries for a long time. To intensify the challenge, mycotoxins are resilient, not easily broken down and ensuring the safety of food supply chains requires comprehensive solutions and we are here to share those solutions with you.
