摘要:
A method for determining in a sample, by mass spectrometry, the amount of one or more analytes selected from the group consisting of 12,13-DiHOME, 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 3-methylglutarylcarnitine, 3-ureidopropionate, 7-alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (7-Hoca), citrate, fucose, fumarate, gamma-tocopherol, glutamate, glutarate, glycerol, glycochenodeoxycholate, glycocholate, hypoxanthine, maleate, malonate, mannose, orotate, 2,3-pyrdinedicarboxylate, ribose, serine, taurine, taurochenodeoxycholate, taurocholate, palmitoleate, linolenate, xanthine, xylitol, and combinations thereof is described. The method comprises subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more analytes; measuring, by mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and using the measured amount to determine the amount of each of the one or more analytes in the sample.
摘要:
A method of assessing the analytical performance of a biochemical measured using a multi-analyte assay is described. The method includes analytically validating a measurement of the level of a first biochemical in a sample, wherein the first biochemical has been previously analytically validated for three or more analytical validation conditions; measuring the level of a second biochemical in a sample, wherein the second biochemical is structurally or biochemically related to the first biochemical; and comparing validation parameters of the first biochemical with validation parameters of the second biochemical to determine whether the performance of the second biochemical is acceptable based on the comparison results.
摘要:
A method for determining in a sample, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, the presence, absence, or amount of one or more or a plurality of analytes is described. The method comprises subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more of the analytes; measuring, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the presence, absence, or amount of each of the one or more or plurality of analytes in the sample.
摘要:
A method for determining the amount of one or more analytes in a sample by mass spectrometry is described. The one or more analytes are selected from the group consisting of alpha-hydroxybutyrate (2-HB), linoleoyl LPC (LGPC), oleic acid, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB), 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate (4-MOP), pantothenate, and serine. The method includes a) subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more of the analytes, wherein the analytes are not derivatized prior to ionization; b) measuring, by tandem mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and c) using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the amount of each of the one or more analytes in the sample.
