what is immunoassay gas/chromotography mass spectomentry

protocol and for and urine and testing

1, Mass spec identifies molecules based on mass.
2. Gas chromatography is used to separate molecules based on different properties such as charge on the molecule and hydrophobicity.

Generally clinically speaking they are likely looking for small compounds like drugs or an organic chemical. It can be used for protein analysis  or bacterial identification. Also, exposure to other chemicals.

Just a guess- we used gas/chrom mass spectrometry in Organic and Biochemistry labs. They show the different organic chemicals and structures found in a liquid sample.

So if they're doing this test on urine, it would make sense that they're looking for organic chemicals such as proteins that shouldn't be in the urine.  A quick urine test usually shows that there is protein and how much, but it doesn't say what kind; a GCMS would.
