We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Therapeutic Drug Monitoring",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Drug monitoring kit wins FDA clearance from
Waters, which we summarised at the time by saying "Along with Waters LC/MS systems and its clinical service and support, the kit provides a complete validated solution for transplant centres wishing to perform tacrolimus therapeutic drug
monitoring".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Twin chemistry analysers in DoA monitoring from
Dade Behring: "To gain recurring cost savings and deliver a better service, the Analytical Toxicology Laboratory in Llandough has recently installed a pair of Dimension Xpand Plus analysers from Dade Behring".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Waters
concerning its Acquity TQD, Empower 2.0
- take a look at Control of Acquity TQD is available in Empower 2.0
which says: "Acquity TQD puts the power of ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry into the hands of more chromatographers now that the instrument is under Empower 2.0 software control".
Take a look also at the news release from Labmedics, Labmedics supplies Russells Hall,
as well as HIV diagnostics firm wins funds for roll-out from Delphic Europe,
and Mass spec makes easy work of complicated samples from Applied Biosystems.
