Validated LC-MS/MS reference method enables global standardization of meropenem therapeutic drug monitoring
Investigators validated an isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) candidate reference measurement procedure for quantifying meropenem in human serum and plasma. The assay demonstrated a linear range of 0.400 to 120 μg/mL, intermediate precis…
