Applications of Mass spectrometry to Laboratory medicine in a university hospital
In these days, several clinical testings have been performed with mass spectrometers. For example, bacteria analysis and the identification of microorganisms to the species level are analyzed with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer in not a small number of hospitals in Japan, which is covered by Japanese Universal health care. Some vitamin measurements are standardized with LC-MS/MS. Developments of investigative biomarkers have been achieved by proteomics with mass spectrometers. Here we introduce actual examples of applications of Mass spectrometry to Laboratory medicine in a university hospital.
