Methods and Systems for Detecting Prostaglandins by LC-MS/MS

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the analysis of endogenous biomarkers, such as PGD.sub.2, in a biological sample. More specifically, the methods, systems, and computer program products are described for detecting and quantifying the amount of an PGD.sub.2 in a sample. The quantitative analysis may be helpful in making clinical diagnoses.
