Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Biomolecular Analysis: Methods and Protocols

by Uttam Garg (Editor)

Overview

This volume provides stepwise instructions for the analysis of numerous clinically important analytes by mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry offers clinical laboratory scientists a number of advantages including increased sensitivity and specificity, multiple component analysis, and no need for specialized reagents. The techniques described are a must for the measurement of many clinically relevant analytes in the fields of drug analysis, endocrinology, and inborn errors of metabolism. Each chapter provides a brief introduction about a specified analyte, followed by detailed instructions on the analytical prool. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting edge and practical, Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Biomolecular Analysis: Methods and Prools is a great resource for clinical laboratory scientists who are already using or thinking of bringing mass spectrometry to their laboratories.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Valerie L Ng, PhD MD(Alameda County Medical Center/Highland Hospital)
Description: This is a compendium of mass spectrometry protocols for clinically important analytes.
Purpose: The purpose is to exemplify the rapidly growing use of mass spectrometry in the clinical laboratory.
Audience: This book is intended for anyone interested in clinical applications of mass spectrometry. It would be of interest to basic scientists, clinical laboratory practitioners (e.g., scientists, physicians, etc.), manufacturers, and healthcare providers interested in applications of mass spectrometry.
Features: After an introductory chapter, the remaining 32 chapters are devoted to mass spectrometry detection and quantification of clinically important analytes (e.g., hormones, vitamins, amino acids, specific proteins such as ubiquinone or amyloid, etc.). Completely in keeping with the Springer Protocol brand, each chapter has a brief introduction followed by clear, concise, and ready to use protocols. While most of the protocols focus on the mass spectrometry processes themselves, I was most impressed with Dr. Stone's chapter on high throughput serum 25-OH Vitamin D testing with automated sample preparation. This chapter encompasses the entire clinical laboratory "soup to nuts" process — quality control, calibration, most notably instructions for the results interface using middleware (i.e., Instrument Manager Data Innovations) including the "rules" for what is acceptable for results release, and finally useful "lessons learned" (i.e., pitfalls to avoid) from her experience.
Assessment: This is your book if you are contemplating implementing mass spectrometry in your laboratory for any of these clinically important analytes. You will hit the ground running with these detailed and user-friendly protocols.
