Hybrid LC-MS/MS is a technique that combines an affinity capture step with LC-MS/MS detection. It typically requires only one antibody, in contrast to conventional ligand-binding assays (LBAs), which usually need two. This approach leverages the combined selectivity of affinity extraction and the analytical power of tandem mass…
