Human organ transplantation is a relatively new
area of application for Chromatography and
Mass Spectroscopy to be associated with. The
need to accurately monitor with short analysis
times and high specificity the levels of
immunosuppressant drugs in the patients’ body
from blood samples can occasionally be a ‘lifeor-
death’ situation. For many years the
Instrument companies who manufacture mass
spectrometers paid little attention to the clinical
area when other areas within life sciences,
environmental and then the –omics group
received much attention.
