Abstract

Quality assurance (QA) activities enable continuous improvement through ongoing post-implementation monitoring to identify, evaluate, and correct problems. QA for clinical liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays should include specific components that address the unique aspects of these methods. This chapter briefly describes approaches for clinical LC-MS/MS system performance monitoring using batch and peak review metrics, largely following CLSI-C62A guidance. Though routine checks ensure the quality of results reported for each run, there is also a need to evaluate metrics between runs over time. Post-implementation performance monitoring of LC-MS/MS methods is typically focused on calibration curves, retention times, peak intensities, and ion ratios.
