| Short Abstract During MS method development we focus on metrics such as linear range, limit of quantitation, selectivity, accuracy, and precision. However we often fail to optimize factors equally important for good performance in the production phase (robustness, ease of use, etc), thus setting our teams up for failure. We will discuss attributes that make an SOP and all phases of an MS assay workflow scalable and user-friendly at launch and with increasing test volumes. Finally we will discuss personality traits and work habits of highly successful mass spectrometry operators and what we can do to recruit, mentor and retain them. |
