Assays for the reliable determination of metanephrines in plasma
Chromsystems launched MassChrom Metanephrines in Plasma new CE-IVD assays for the efficient quantification of metanephrine, normetanephrine and 3-methoxytyramine by LC-MS/MS. The kits are available in two configurations, either with sample clean up columns or 96 SPE well plates. The assays encompass all required components and enable a simple and fast sample preparation in just a few steps. The analytes are chromatographically separated, avoiding co-elution and minimizing the risk of interferences. Stable isotope-labelled internal standards for every single analyte ensure a reproducible and reliable quantification. The 6PLUS1 Multilevel Calibrator Set and MassCheck controls are based on human plasma to minimize matrix-induced differences. MassChrom Metanephrines in Plasma complement the full range of CE-IVD assays from Chromsystems for the determination of biogenic amines. These include assays for HPLC and LC-MS/MS and in the plasma and urine matrices. Laboratories with higher sample throughput can also rely on the company’s automated systems.
