New Guidance Addresses Lack of Lab Resources

Mass spectrometry (MS) has been widely used in science and industry for decades, but its considerable analytical advantages have only become available to clinical laboratories in recent years. The technology is now taking on an increasingly important role for analysis of biological samples due to the development of more user-friendly, affordable, and versatile instruments, as well as greater availability of internal standards. Known for its ability to produce high-quality results with superior selectivity, MS is particularly useful for analyzing multiple analytes, such as in expanded newborn screening programs.
