Internal standards in the quantitative determination of protein biopharmaceuticals using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry

Following the increase in development of protein biopharmaceuticals, there is a growing demand for the sensitive and reliable quantification of these proteins in complex biological matrices such as plasma and serum to support (pre)-clinical research. In this field, ligand binding assays (LBAs) are currently the standard analytical technique, but in recent years, there is a trend towards the use of liquid chromatography hyphenated with (tandem)...
