Tandem mass spectrometry in trace toxicant analysis.
Mass spectrometers coupled in series offer a promising technique for quantitative analysis of trace constituents in complex mixtures. Despite the relatively high cost and complexity of such instruments, this technique appears to be particularly promising in terms of the sensitivity, specificity, and speed of analysis for targeted compounds in body fluids, foods and other biological mixtures.
