Getting going with MS (3) : Josh analyzes peaks
Description
Unlike conventional immunoassays which provide simple (and often incorrect!) results, mass spectrometers provide a plethora of data for every peak- qualifier ions, internal standard areas, retention times, peak shapes, etc. This data, often termed metadata, can help clinical laboratories evaluate their peaks to ensure that they are reporting accurate results. Unfortunately, the process of evaluating this metadata can be a doubting challenge. This session will discover our efforts to move ahead with implementing manageable processes for evaluating the metadata necessary to ensure accurate results.
At the conclusion of this talk, participants should be able to…
1. Ask questions related to their own efforts to implement monitoring/assessing metadata
2. List the metadata that must be evaluated to ensure accurate results
3. Prepare quality assurance metrics for their laboratories utilizing metadata
