Abstract
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a technology of emerging importance in the field of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) because development of commercial immunoassays for new TDM applications is sparse at best. LC-MS approaches have shown tremendous potential in the field of TDM. Assays are highly sensitive and selective, and can overcome challenges associated with conventional immunoassays. However, there are limitations and caveats to be considered when implementing this technology into the clinical laboratory environment. A review of methodological approaches, applications, advantages, and limitations will be discussed in this chapter.
