High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) is a crucial analytical technique that integrates HPLC's separation capabilities with mass spectrometry's detection and identification features, widely used in fields such as biomedicine and environmental monitoring. The process involves multiple components, including a solvent reservoir, pump, and ion source, which together facilitate the separation and quantitative analysis of complex biological mixtures. Applications range from pharmacokinetics to cancer research, highlighting HPLC-MS's role in identifying biomarkers and studying drug toxicity.
