Short Abstract

This presentation attempts to elucidate the forces converging to create a major increase in the applications (and applicability) of mass spectrometry in the clinic. The forces include: i) ambient ionization methods for direct examination of biological samples, including tissue and whole biofluids, ii) miniature mass spectrometers capable of unit resolution and MS/MS, iii) ion transfer over long distances to the Mini MS iv) quantitation out of complex mixtures by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), and v) multivariate data analysis for confident assignment of complex spectral patterns to particular biological and disease states. Example applications include surgical margins, drug and microorganism (e.g. strep) detection.
