Objectives: Everolimus (EVR), a mTOR inhibitor immunosuppressant approved for renal, liver and cardiac transplants. This study established the appropriate TDM performances of the Thermo Scientific QMS EVR Assay by using the Beckman DxC, followed by comparison to the Thermo Scientific Indiko and a previously published LC-MS/MS assay, and Beckman AU680 and AU5800 analyzers.
Design And Methods: The study initially established acceptable linearity, precision and accuracy of the QMS EVR turbidimetric assay.
