Live Webcast: High Throughput in the LC-MS/MS Laboratory

If SPE, LLE and PPT are acronyms in your daily vocabulary, this is the

webcast for you. You know that ineffective sample extraction can result

in bad data as matrix components suppress or enhance ionization. You

know that sample preparation is a common bottleneck in high volume

LC-MS/MS laboratories.

LC-MS/MS systems continue to attain new levels of sensitivity and detection

allowing for better analysis. Many expected the issue of sample

preparation to go away with the higher sensitive mass spectrometry

systems. This, however, has not been the case. Eliminating ion suppression

(or ion enhancement) still requires removal of the matrix components

prior to MS-MS analysis.

The traditional options for sample preparation include Solid Phase Extraction,

Protein Precipitation or Liquid Liquid Extraction. In the last 10 years,

an online sample extraction technique using turbulent fl ow chromatography

has provided a way to minimize many of the drawbacks of traditional

methods. In this webcast the advantages and disadvantages of these

methods will be compared to a more recent solution utilizing turbulent fl ow

chromatography.
