Has anyone tried providing an open-access triple quad for chemists to
do their own plasma analysis? What has been your experience? Did the
system remain open-access or did the work revert back to bioanalysts?
Thanks,

Pfizer at Sandwich did this successfully for years on a SCIEX API
platform to support discovery..... It worked extremely well, not sure,
what they do now, at some stage one or two years ago their management
decided that specialists are more fashionable.....

We have an open access ion trap that is used constantly by the synthetic
chemists and which the very much appreciate so long as they do not have
to clean it. Due to the simplicity of the trap, none of the chemists try
the triple quads although they are just as available.
I tried rotating my synthetic chemists through analytics and although
they all bravely learned how to analyse biological samples, I do not
think they really liked it. The one upside was that PK or distribution
data that is generated by the chemists themselves is much better
understood .... and acted on, than when it arrives neatly packaged in
excel by email.
Our Sciex triple quad seems to cope very well with part-time users and
as long as the analyte can be seen with conventional methods, it works
well enough to involve the chemists directly.
