Solvent Assisted Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Screening and Quantification of Counterfeit Drugs
Experiments presented here demonstrate the suitability of LC–SAI-MS for the detection and quantification of pharmaceuticals, with limits of detection in the low parts-per-trillion range. A comparison of LC–ESI-MS to LC–SAI-MS also yielded favorable results for SAI.

Mass Spectrometry in the Clinical Laboratory—Challenges for Quality Assurance
To translate the enormous potential of MS into meaningful, actionable, and safe test results in the specific setting of a clinical laboratory is a very substantial challenge. It is essential to realize that reliability is not inherent to this technology but must be addressed carefully and questioned systematically.

Using Compact Mass Spectrometry for Detection and Quantitation of Cannabis-Related Compounds
Compact mass spectrometry, in combination with suitable sample introduction techniques—such as the atmospheric solids analysis probe, thin-layer chromatography, and classical liquid chromatography techniques—can be used effectively for the detection and quantification of cannabinoids and pesticides in cannabis-related material and contraband.
Why and How to Avoid Ionic Contamination in Water Used for LC–MS Analyses
In LC–MS methods, the ionic purity of the water should be considered. Ionic contaminants lead to adduct formation and reduced analytical signals because of ion suppression.
