| Short Abstract Current laboratory practice guidelines outline metrics that should be monitored as part of quality assurance (QA) programs for quantitative LC-MS/MS. However, few resources are available to instruct laboratorians on specific steps need to design and establish a value-added QA program. In this session, practical examples and step-by-step instructions will be provided to demonstrate how to effectively and efficiently select QA parameters, establish QA acceptability criteria, monitor QA data and utilize QA metrics to critically assess performance of LC-MS/MS methods. |
Long Abstract
Current laboratory practice guidelines outline metrics that should be monitored as part of quality assurance (QA) programs for quantitative LC-MS/MS. However, few resources are available to instruct laboratorians on specific steps need to design and establish a value-added QA program. In this session, practical examples and step-by-step instructions will be provided to demonstrate how to effectively and efficiently select QA parameters, establish QA acceptability criteria, monitor QA data and utilize QA metrics to critically assess performance of LC-MS/MS methods.
