In a clinical research setting, samples are often irreplaceable and in limited supply. As a result, selecting an instrumental platform carries different stakes than outside of the biomedical space. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been established as a robust approach in routine chemical analysis, but its suitability for clinical applications may not be readily apparent despite the versatility of LC-MS systems.
