has been developed to provide scientists in the clinical laboratory a
forum for in-depth and informal discussions of the most recent
developments in the practical application of mass spectrometry to
analyses previously done by various other technologies such as
immunoassays. While these immunoassay methods have been successful for
the last 50 years, mass spectrometry methods are now providing these
analytical results in a better, faster and less expensive fashion.
Innovative mass spectrometry technologies, alone and combined with
molecular methods have lead to improved diagnostic testing approaches.
At this time large reference laboratories and major medical centers
have demonstrated that this approach leads to more accurate testing
which results in improved patient care and reduced costs. This
conference will focus on the practical applications of mass
spectrometry to the clinical chemistry/toxicology,
microbiology/virology, proteomic, metabolomic and tissue histology
laboratories. In addition to the current technologies, issues of
regulation, standardization, validation and quality control will be
addressed.<br/></font>]]></description>
