Thermo and NanoPin Announce Collaboration
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a collaboration with NanoPin Technologies, Inc. to improve blood-based infectious disease detection technology through the development of highly sensitive LC–MS‑based workflows.
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) has announced a collaboration with NanoPin Technologies, Inc. (New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) to improve blood-based infectious disease detection technology through the development of highly sensitive liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)âbased workflows.
The companies will combine Thermo Fisher’s LC–MS technology with NanoPin’s diagnostic platform to detect disease-related antigens directly from patient blood samples, which will lead to the development of sensitive clinical assays for infectious disease. The overall aim is to reduce diagnosis times and improve the determination of infection stage, as well as monitor patient response to prescribed treatments.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
