From WikiMD's Medical Encyclopedia

Overview[edit]

LC-MS is a powerful technique used for many applications which has very high sensitivity and selectivity. Generally its application is oriented towards the general detection and potential identification of chemicals in the presence of other chemicals (in a complex mixture).

Principle[edit]

LC-MS system is divided into three parts. The LC module, the MS module and the computer system.

Applications[edit]

LC-MS is widely used in the field of bioanalysis and is specially involved in pharmacokinetic studies of pharmaceuticals. It is also extensively used in the metabolomics and proteomics.
