LC/MS/MS (Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry)
Liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry
Liquid chromatography uses differences in affinity to decompose components of a target substance. , a method in which ions of a specific mass are further separated by mass using a mass spectrometer, dissociated and fragmented, and then these ions are detected.

Points to note concerning blood collecting containers
Avoid using a container with a serum separating agent. It may effect the results on the drug tests.
Points to note concerning the blood collecting time
1. The blood collecting time is for TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring).
2. In repetitive administration, collect a blood sample after a steady state is achieved.
3. When poisoning is developed, the peak concentration also needs to be measured.
4. The blood collecting time shows the standard time: a patient's condition should be taken into account in collecting a blood sample.
After drawing blood into a container shown in the left image, mix well, and separate plasma.
Refrigerate the plasma samples.
