Mass Spectrometry
Use
This test is used for billing purposes and is not an orderable test. The application of mass spectrometry in laboratory medicine allows for the detailed analysis of samples, which can be critical for accurate and thorough analysis in various clinical settings, particularly where detailed molecular analysis is necessary. However, since this is a billing-only test, it does not have a directly applicable clinical utility.
