From the reviews: "This book provides a collection of over 50 applications of GC-MS, LC-MS, and ICP-MS for screening, identification, and quantification of clinically relevant analytes in body samples. ... It can be recommended ... to critical practitioners in laboratory medicine." (Hans H. Maurer, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 399, 2011) "Clinical Applications of Mass Spectrometry Methods and Protocols is a compilation of ready-to-use protocols for the determination of clinically relevant analytes in various biological matrices. ... the book is a straightforward compilation of diverse protocols written in a very user-friendly format. It is especially valuable for labs that have just started implementing mass spectrometry or for those planning to do so in the near future. For labs with more experience in mass spectrometry, the protocols can save many hours of precious method development time."
