The Future of Clinical Mass Spectrometry

As a mass spectrometrist who has migrated into the realm of clinical chemistry, I frequently tell my clinical chemistry colleagues that mass spectrometrists want to take over the world. Although an exaggeration, this statement is seldom challenged, probably in recognition of the many positive ways that mass spectrometry already has influenced the clinical laboratory and the practice of medicine, with the number of new applications growing rapidly. But before looking to the future of clinical mass spectrometry, it is useful first to consider briefly the historical context of mass spectrometry in the clinical lab.
