In the thrilling conclusion of this four part series, Josh encounters issues with his vacuum manifold, decides to forgo sample preparation, and attempts to validate a dilute-and-shoot mass spectrometry method. Problems are encountered.
This session will outline the studies conducted and planned in order to complete validation of a mass spectrometry method in a CAP-accredited, clinical laboratory. While accuracy and precision and reportable range will be addressed, particular attention will be paid to the additional validation studies that should be conducted (matrix effect, injector stability, interferences, etc).
