Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) in COVID-19 testing

Over the last decade, electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has emerged as an important technique in clinical laboratories. ESI-MS is an important technique in the structural study or quantitative measurement of metabolites in a complex biological sample.

ESI-MS application:

In measuring the SARS CoV-2 bio-molecules

How fast?

Faster than RT-PCR

COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit:

Whole blood, plasma and serum samples needed for the immunochromatographic assay.
