Advances in Bioanalysis as It Relates to ADME

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Quick Guide

Abstract

Bioanalysis continues to play a crucial role in ADME sciences. Most in vitro or in vivo studies have either a quantitative or qualitative bioanalytical endpoint. This chapter provides a general overview of the use of mass spectrometry in ADME sciences and the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of instruments.
