Explore the potential for screening human blood fortified with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) via LC/MS using an expression single quadrupole compact mass spectrometer.

Compact mass spectrometry, in combination with suitable sample introduction techniques-such as the atmospheric solids analysis probe, thin-layer chromatography, and classical liquid chromatography techniques-can be used effectively for the detection and quantification of cannabinoids and pesticides in cannabis-related material and contraband.

In this installment of "MS-The Practical Art," guest columnist Jack Henion presents an historical and practical overview of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) research and the commercial achievement associated with it so far.
