Micro-LC-MS/MS: the future of bioanalysis

“Researchers using current micro-LC–MS systems can realize benefits of high-pressure chromatography and advanced particle technologies in addition to the innate speed, sensitivity and cost benefits of micro-LC in their bioanalytical laboratories.” Rapid technology advances are enabling new approaches in molecular-based medicine –  therapeutics, diagnostics, treatments and so on. Molecular indicators for disease are emerging from a broad range of small biological molecules – genes, metabolites, peptides, proteins and combinations thereof. Of course, in a wellknown shift, pharmaceutical companies have turned more of their focus on the development of biological therapeutics as a means to develop pipelines for their pharmaceutical development...
