Abstract:
Our goal is to develop a single LC-MS system capable of simultaneous protein and small molecule determinations. This instrument will be useful where precious small volume biological samples are prevalent, and cases where multiple markers are desired to be monitored together. The instrument features automated multi-column method development functionality, restricted access media for on-line segregation of biological sample components, and ultra-fast scanning 8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Presented will be a series of model and applied studies demonstrating progress toward this integrated instrumentation and work-flow.
