As many hormones exist in extremely low abundance, ARUP turned to QTRAP technology to obtain a higher level of sensitivity, which is needed to perform the most accurate quantitation of low abundant hormones, especially free hormones, while confirming the results with qualitative capabilities within the same system.
This advancement is expected to help deliver better answers that can be used to improve healthcare.
In collaboration with AB SCIEX scientists, ARUP researchers are using this technology to develop new test methods that AB SCIEX plans to turn into pre-configured iMethod Tests available for easy download into AB SCIEX Cliquid Software, which is a software application that significantly simplifies the use of advanced mass spectrometry technology for clinical research.
ARUP Laboratories scientific director of the Mass Spectrometry Lab Alan Rockwood said their mission in the mass spectrometry lab of ARUP is to push the limits of quantitation as low as we can, so we can deliver better results for clinical research.
AB SCIEX vice president and general manager of the Applied Markets and Clinical Research Business Joe Anacleto said to have a leading clinical reference laboratory such as ARUP Laboratories utilize QTRAP technology for method development reinforces the importance of high sensitivity that AB SCIEX technology delivers.
AB SCIEX provides scientific instrumentation, software and services used to discover new drugs, advance medical science and protect the food supply and the environment.
