Application Note 608
Conclusion
The quantification of a panel of antiepileptic drugs in
human plasma has been implemented and analytically
validated on a TSQ Quantum Access MAX mass
spectrometer using the MassTox TDM Series A kit for
antiepileptics from Chromsystems. The TSQ Quantum
Access MAX mass spectrometer proved to have the
proper sensitivity, accuracy, and precision for the
application of this analytical method to clinical research.
