Short Abstract

For mass spectrometry testing in the clinical laboratory, post-implementation monitoring for quality is just as important as method development and validation but often receives less attention. Assuring that your laboratory has designed and implemented a quality management system for LC-MS/MS testing is vital to maintaining quality. This talk will review available guidelines (CLSI C62A, CLSI EP23, CLSI QMS01, QMS06, QMS12) and typical parameters that are used to monitor the entire testing process. Example tools for monitoring quality assurance will be presented.
