Why a High Resolution MS in Clinical Research ?
Quantitative analyses using Triple Quadrupole MS (TQ-MS)
still representing the gold standard
Present Situation at the CHUV QMSF in Lausanne:
●
7 triple quadrupole MS installed, 1 ion trap recently replaced by an Exactive Plus MS
●
About 80-90% of all analyses performed by ion transitions (SRM) for
Why a High Resolution MS in a Research ?
« Quan / Qual » analyses by High Resolution Full Scan Acquisition (HR-FS)
a much better « picture » of the samples (troubleshooting, adducts, charge states ...)
retrospective data treatment
identification of unknowns
semi-quantitative metabolite phenotyping
Time saving
no waste of time for setting-up ion transitions
direct transfer of an analysis from HR-MS to another HR-MS
Also a Shift of Paradigm in Clinical Research ?
HR-MS replacing TQ-MS for Quan analyses ?
Key Criteria : Quantitative analyses.

Semiquantitative Determination of Metabotypes using HR-MS :
a Fundamental Step Forward in Clinical Research Analyses
The LC-MS analyses that we performed in HR-FS acquisition mode with the Exactive and
Exactive Plus MS, showed that :
HR analysis is as specific as SRM analysis (R
≥
25,000 at all analyte m/z)
HR analysis is compatible with usual plasma extraction (PP, SPE and SLE)
Exactive Plus MS is compatible with a clinical research labs needs
HR-FS acquisition mode allows simultaneous Qual
analyses that should have a strong
impact in clinical research such as the semi-quantitative determination of metabotypes
